Archetypes
Why
identifying the god or goddess
that is your personal archetype
can help improve your life.
What is an archetype? Archetypes
are styles or tendencies present in the personality, and they
drive our
beliefs, values, motivations, emotions and our behavior.
They can be a source of spiritual
wisdom and personal authenticity that give us a sense of meaning
to our
lives.
The gods and goddesses, perform like a mirror,
helping us see and understand the
underlying reasons for the recurrent patterns in our lives for
they determine the persistent
themes that surface in our
lives.
Archetypes are internal images that
you have in your mind. They embody
characteristics, concepts, and experiences that are universal to
us all regardless of where we might live or in what period of
time. Take, for example, the notion of "mother" or
"trickster". . . these are universal images that are archetypes. |
