Sensible old man:
An archetypal image of meaning and wisdom. In Jung's conditions, the conscious old man is a embodiment of the masculine spirit.In a man's psychology, the anima is linked to the conscious old man as daughter to onset. In a animal, the conscious old man is an aspect of the animus.
The feminine equivalent in all men and women is the Fine Father.
The representation of the conscious old man can declare so plastically, not completely in thoughts but to boot in fantasist meditation (or what we connect "bustling ingenuity"), that... it takes better the character of a scholar.
The conscious old man appears in thoughts in the guise of a magician, doctor, priest, scholarly, instructor, grandfather, or any map possessing soundness.["The Phenomenology of the Sparkle in Fairytales," CW 9i, par. 398.]
