“The individual’s life is elevated to a type, indeed it becomes the archetype of the woman’s fate in general. This leads to restoration or apocatastasis of the lives of her ancestors, who now, through the bridge of the momentary individual, pass down into the generations of the future. An experience of this kind gives the individual a place and a meaning in the life the generations, so that all unnecessary obstacles are cleared out of the way of the life stream that is to flow through her. At the same time the individual is rescued from her isolation and restored to wholeness. All ritual preoccupation with the archetypes ultimately has this aim and this result. ”
