This is incredible. Thank you very much for offering me the opportunity to learn about the 'Death Mother'. I did not realize that this archetypal energy is very much present in my life.
I was drawn to your comment about the opening in the unformed child psyche for a transpersonal energy to step in as protector and persecutor. I've been wrestling with a suggestion that this figure is part of a self-constructed defence mechanism. I didn't think such a view recognized the Otherness of this figure, though I concede that its Otherness might well be due to it being split of from the conscious ego self. Notwithstanding, I have a strong sense that the figure is 'beyond' , perhaps that it contains content from the collective unconscious. And that's why it has such a strong often overwhelming numinosity about it.
