What exactly was Carl Jungs definition of "Mana" ?

Question

I ask this Question out of confusion! You see, all the information I have gathered thus far, seems to sum up "Mana" as being "spititual power". Anyway, my teacher gave me a test last week and one of the Q? were: What is Mana? And so I answerd : Spiritual power.
When I recieved my graded test back(I recieved a 96%) My teacher deducted points for the aforementioned Q&A, and wrote underneath my answer the following: "A strong fertility persona"
So baSICALLY, iM TRYING TO DETERMINE, or understand this concept better, or figure out if my teacher is bugging out (mistaken). So any insight on this issue will be greatly appreciated,TX.

Answer 1

A supernatural force, believed to exist in a person, or object. Animism if it were an object.
Carl Jung believed in a "higher power", so maybe it just that you and your teacher are just playing semantics.

Answer 2

You must understand that these archetypes are not really biological things, like Freud's instincts. They are more spiritual demands. For example, if you dreamt about long things, Freud might suggest these things represent the phallus and ultimately sex. But Jung might have a very different interpretation. Even dreaming quite specifically about a penis might not have much to do with some unfulfilled need for sex.

It is curious that in primitive societies, phallic symbols do not usually refer to sex at all. They usually symbolize mana, or spiritual power. These symbols would be displayed on occasions when the spirits are being called upon to increase the yield of corn, or fish, or to heal someone. The connection between the penis and strength, between semen and seed, between fertilization and fertility are understood by most cultures.

“Mana” is a term originally used in Polynesian and Melanesian cultures to describe an extraordinary power or force residing in a person or an object, a sort of spiritual electricity that charges anyone who touches it. Carl Jung later defined the term as “the unconscious influence of one being on another.” What Jung speaks to is the fact that the energy of being real has more power than outright persuasion, debate, or force of will. He suggests that being who we are always releases an extraordinary power that, without intent or design, affects the people who come in contact with such realness.

The beautiful and simple truth of this can be seen in looking at the sun. The sun, without intent or will or plan or sense of principle, just shines, thoroughly and constantly. By being itself, the sun warms with its light, never withholding or warming only certain things of the Earth. Rather, the sun emanates in all directions all the time, and things grow. In the same way, when we are authentic, expressing our warmth and light in all directions, we cause things around us to grow. When our souls, like little suns express the light of who we are, we emanate what Jesus called love and what Buddha called compassion, and the roots of community lengthen.
