Who is YOUR Diva?

In Jungian psychology an important Archetype is the Anima.
Call it the “eternal Female” that is in us all. To be in touch with the feminine side of one’s personality must be allowed to express itself in consciousness in order to be well, adjusted, and have a harmonious Self.
Gay men do this readily via their favorite female singers. Pop stars like Bette Midler, or Divas like Scotto are good examples.

Someone calls my fondness for female vocalists ‘adoring the Goddess”. He is not wrong.

To his dismay, my ultimate ‘Goddess” is Enya.

There is something soothing and numinous about her voice that transports me to different planes of being. I first heard her in Key West, during my zenith of being a young man with the future without limits. Her “Watermark’ CD brings me back to that time and place. I look forward to all her new songs and CDs. She has been criticized for not altering her style – but I like her style. Between her voice and her looks she captures the Anima .

And Someone can not stand her. I find that people either adore or loathe her. He thinks all her songs sound alike. Well, his Goddess is Janis Joplin, so go figure.
