This paper explores and defines trauma and several patterns of adaptive responses within a self-care system partially using the framework of Donald Kalsched. It examines two ancient myths: one, the myth of Lilith and Inanna; and two, the myth of Lilith, Adam, and God. The first myth is set within a matriarchal culture and the second myth within a patriarchal culture. These stories are analyzed through the lens of trauma, the emotional textures of affect, and the development of consciousness. Analyzing these myths facilitates the contextualization of irrational behavioral responses as trauma responses and identifies several typical patterns of traumatic response. This can reveal the personal context of traumatization and relevant archetypal energies. This can help bridge one’s personal psychology to a mythic or transpersonal reality, which, in turn, helps the development of the ego in relation to the Self, and connects one to a more transpersonal dimension of reality. This can lead—within the safety of the analytical relationship—toward possible paths of psychic reintegration and the healing of split-off psychic parts.

What rights to legacy can the childfree woman claim in middle age? Can childfree, middle-aged women embrace waves of loss regarding legacy and family lineage in such a way that adds legitimacy to their life choices and callings, resulting in increased joy and praise around their childfree identities embedded within an ancestral line of mothers? These questions are explored through the author’s reflections on her own journey through grief and loss as a childfree, cisgender, heterosexual woman, which is an identity that is often disenfranchised and pathologized in pronatalist culture. An invitation is offered to revision grief and mourning as hosts to a deeper sense of joy, a robust connection to lineage, and the enrichment of self-identity for childfree women in middle age and beyond.

During World War II, every Austrian soldier called up for active duty was required to swear an oath of loyalty to Hitler. Franz J€agerst€atter was an Austrian farmer executed by the Nazis for refusing to do just that. The film begins with footage of Hitler riding through the streets in an immense Nazi parade. Thousands of people are saluting Hitler and torches are blazing in the night sky. Franz and his wife Franziska (Valerie Pachner) are farmers in a beautiful tiny Austrian hamlet. The couple and their village are not of the modern era. They live a simple life as people may have lived a thousand years ago. All their work is done by hand, such as winnowing and cutting wheat with a scythe. Their existence is agrarian, bucolic, and ancient. The couple share a simple bedroom decorated with religious icons and paintings. We see a church in the background of their pastoral surroundings. They are completely unaware of the world around them until one day Franziska looks up and notices airplanes in the sky. Something dark is approaching. Franziska asks Franz, “do you remember the day we first met? I remember that motorcycle. My best dress. You looked at me and I knew how simple life was then.” There is a foreboding sense that this simplicity might be in danger. Concerned about the state of the world, Franz speaks to the local Catholic priest: “What’s happened to our country? We are killing innocent people. Raiding other countries, the country is preying on the weak. If our leaders, if they are evil, what does one do?” The priest does not share Franz’s concern: “You have a duty to the fatherland,” he insists. Franz does not find the religious counsel he had hoped for. He cannot understand how his loyalty to his Christian morals would allow him to also be loyal to Hitler. However, the priest views Franz’s hesitation not as a sign of his good Christian faith, but as a traitorous act against his race and his country.

A heuristic, mythopoetic approach is taken in evaluating the condition of melancholy, which is commonly viewed as a pathology of the soul. Drawing on classical myth, historic philosophical theory, representations of melancholy in classical arts and poetry, and modern music, a creative, productive way of accepting and living with the condition is presented. My focus is to explore internal experiences and cultural images of depression through a depth psychological and imaginal lens often inherited by a daughter of a senex, her patriarchal lineage. This paper concludes by emphasizing the necessity for a renaissance of archetypal, mythopoetic imagination to lift souls up from melancholia during a time when the feminine is neglected and oppressed, and blueness touches every soul.
