Finding Yourself in the Archetypes

0

Today I started thinking about archetypes, mythology, and master characters within writing.  (Yeah, I know – that’s a lot for a Wednesday, right?)  However, thoughts of archetypes have been on my mind for a few years now.

So as I was approaching the two-mile mark on my run tonight, thinking of all the different archetypes, I took a long hard look at the sky.  Here is what I saw:  soft pinks, creamy blues, glittering golds, and glowing patches of orange sunlight streaming energy down on me.  At that moment all I wanted was to sprout wings like a goddess and soar into the heavens. It was breathtaking, encouraging, and inspirational.  Being a part of the evening sunset is a large part of why I run.

It’s quite interesting to study the archetypes and even more intriguing to find yourself within the archetype – if you dare to be so bold ;-).  There are 16 archetypes and hopefully your curiosity will spur you to research a little more about these gods and goddesses.  Here we go:

Females:  1.  Demeter  2.  Hera  3.  Hestia  4.  Isis  5.  Aphrodite   6.  Artemis  7.  Persephone  8.  Athena

Male:  9.  Apollo  10.  Ares  11.  Hades  12.  Hermes  13.  Dionysus  14.  Osiris  15.  Poseidon  16.  Zeus

I may joke about knowing another’s archetype, but one can never really know about their neighbor, however – I am pretty sure I know mine.  Eeeek!

This weekend I’m heading to the coast for a few days to enjoy the wild and fierce waves of my Northern California Coast in order to fuel my mind and body.
