ABSTRACT

First there is an anima figure called Miriam, ajewess. Then there is her father, Hillel, an old Cabalist, who is a typical wise man, also a figure of the collective unconscious. That is a very sound connection, the wise old man is often in a father-like connection with the anima-either physical or spiritual. In the case of Haggard's Wisdom's DaughterO there is no actual father, but an old Egyptian priest instead, and She would be his medium. It is a well known fact that priests often used young girls as seers or for casting oracles.
