The symbolism of the willow, with its healing energy for addiction, can be considered in terms of its
religious, folkloric, and mythological aspects as in Marion Woodman’s book The Ravaged Bridegroom - Masculinity in Women. This study concerned the healing process of a female client formerly obsessed
with an addiction not separated from the Self. The client grasped the willow as a symbol of female
energy and subsequently was reborn with renewed feminine vitality. The female healing energy of the
willow connected her abandoned body to her soul. The vitality of the willow empowered the client
to heal her animus of addiction, learn what her body wanted from the boundary of life and death,
and realize what her soul desired. Her body, through consciousness raising, truly embraced the deity, or Self, which she had struggled unilaterally before to connect with herself. The totality, created by
archetypes, meant a deep base of personality, accepted consciousness and unconsciousness and
transcended the ego.
