In Guild Lecture No. 114, C.G. Jung’s close associate Barbara Hannah provides a brilliant depth-psychological study of the apocryphal Book of Tobit, focusing on the religious evolution of the Animus. Using the story of Sarah—whose seven husbands were killed by the demon Asmodeus—Hannah illustrates how an unintegrated, demonic animus destroys emotional connection and traps the female psyche in isolation. She demonstrates how, through spiritual devotion and archetypal guidance (represented by Tobias and the Archangel Raphael), this destructive possession is transformed. A profound paper examining how a woman’s inner masculine principle shifts from a lethal shadow into a vital mediator between the ego and the divine.
