I was asked to go into this theory a little more, so here I am 
The Collective Unconscious has roots in the deep ancestral past of the entire species. These include distant ancestor’s experiences with universal concepts like God, mother, water, earth, that are transmitted through the generations so that people in every time have been influenced by their primate ancestor’s primordial experiences.
The contents of the collective unconscious are the same (more or less) for people of every culture! These influence may peoples myths, legends, and religions. It is human’s innate tendency to react in a particular way whenever their experiences stimulate a biologically inherited response tendency (like a mother’s unlearned or unlikely response of love toward her newborn).
Initially contact with these images are forms without content but with practice the content emerges and become relatively autonomous images called archetypes.
Anima is the feminine side of men and originates in the collective unconscious as an archetype and remains extremely resistant to consciousness.
To master the projection of the anima, men must overcome intellectual barriers, delve into the far recesses of their unconscious, and realize the feminine side of their personality.
Jung believed that the anima originated from early men’s experiences with women including mothers, sisters, and lovers which combine into the concept of women.
Animus is the masculine side of women and originates in the collective unconscious as an archetype that, too, is resistant to consciousness.
Animus originates from early women’s experiences with men including fathers, brothers, and lovers that are combined into the concept of men.
Both the anima and animus can influence the relationship of men and women with partners. The animus appears in dreams, visions, and fantasies in a personified form.
The Great Mother Archetype is a derivative of the animus and anima.
Every man and women possess a great mother archetype. The pre-existing concept of mother has both positive and negative feeling which extends to this archetype.
The Great Mother represents the opposing forces of fertility and nourishment on the one hand and power and destruction on the other. t is also known as godmother, Mother of God, Mother Nature, Mother Earth, the stepmother, and even a Witch.
Fertility and power combine to form the concept of rebirth and is represented in the process of reincarnation, baptism, resurrection, and individuation.
