 My reflection on Jung's notion of the Senex archetype - the Inner Sage, Wise Old Whatsit, call it what you will - mainly for the Suffolk Jungian Circle which will be discussing the topic at the end of the month. The reflection takes in the relationship with its polar opposite, the Puer/Puella Aeternus, and with the alchemical phase of citrinitas (the yellowing) that Jung felt people passed through after they had reconciled with their inner anima/animus.
