Every week, Caroline Myss picks an Archetype and explores it in depth.
The Narcissist
A narcissist has an unreasonably high sense of self importance and requires constant excessive admiration.
The Destroyer
A destroyer can wipe out relationships, self-destruct, destroy the world around them, and at the same time, construct it anew.
The Hedonist
The hedonist represents the love of the good life and what we are willing to do to get to the good life.
The Storyteller and The Gossip
To understand the stories of others is the spiritual purpose of the storyteller. For the gossip archetype, human information is social currency; It’s their key to getting into social circles.
The Judge
Judgment is the capacity to see clearly, disassociate from insignificant details, and use a higher order of discernment in making a decision.
The Wanderer & Explorer
This week I’m going to be blending a couple of archetypes that are from what you could think of as an archetypal family. These two archetypes have a lot in common, and yet, they are unique.
The Critic
The greater aspect of the critic is to be discerning and clear. However, when your inner critic has taken over, this becomes a significant spiritual crisis.
The Prophet
The Prophet is a messenger of God who emerges to warn people of things that are coming if they don’t change their way of living.
The Clown
The power of clowning is that it can disguise what we don’t want to approach directly.
The Ghost
A ghost is a soul who has died but not left. It is suspended between incarnations and incomplete for various reasons.
The Peacemaker
The peacemaker is committed to finding a way from conflict to resolution, turning an eruption into something calm where life can continue.
The Visionary
A visionary sends their imagination on a journey ahead of this world.
The Agitator
This is a season of agitators. And there’s a reason for that.
War
War is a huge archetypal force, and it’s alive in each of us. Every person goes to war in one way or another.
Why was I born?
I thought I would examine what I think is one of those primary archetypal questions that everybody asks themselves.
Fate & Destiny
These two forces are like archetypal currents that constantly run through the threads of our lives. They are present in everything.
Enchanted Strangers
Enchanted strangers can change our lives in a second, and it doesn’t take a lot for us to change the lives of others.
The Journey of Empowerment
True empowerment is the capacity to use your many gifts to empower the life of another person.
The Personal Liberator
Nothing on the outside can control your capacity to liberate yourself because you control that on the inside.
The Monster
Monsters represent a whole spectrum of power that the ordinary mortal doesn’t have.
The Titan
We have entered a time of titan size power that has never existed before.
The Vampire/Pessimist
Vampiric energy weakens you so that you are unable to function fully as an energetic being.
