The song title is spelled differently than the album title, but why?

I think that the song is spelled like "Ænema" because it's more similar to the spelling of the word "enema" which deals with purging much like the song itself. The title of the album, spelled "Ænima", looks more similar to "anima", because the general theme of the album deals with the same kind of spirituality presented by Carl Jung in his psychological theories. "Anima" is also the feminine version of the latin word for "soul".
