On this planet, we play certain roles, archetypes, roles encoded in our DNA. Understanding archetypes means gaining a deep understanding of yourself, the people you attract, and the roles that fit these storylines. You don't play just one specific role; with your child, you play one role, and with your loved one, you play a different role. So, throughout the day, we alternate between different roles, which together are seen as your persona, the "I," the avatar you live in on this planet. If we understand them, you can reclaim your own power and choose to play them if you wish, but you don't have to be a victim of them. Because they all have their good and their dark sides, and when you're unconscious, it's as if they can take over your life. If you don't understand them, you'll think all the emotions you feel are incredibly real. But if you look at yourself from a distance, you can gain a different perspective, a much clearer one. That's why I find it important to learn as much as possible about them be cause you are an alchemy of all of them. Knowledge of these archetypes stems from the stories of the Norse, Greek, and Egyptian gods. The surviving stories are incomplete, but in this project, I'm trying to paint as complete and clear a picture as possible. So, it doesn't matter that the  the storylines of the ancient mythology don't match. What matters most is that the essence, the energy, of those characters can be understood.

Arch means Bow, in this case like from rainbow, in one rainbow are all the colours of the different frequency's, Arch angels are all the energy's of different frequency's, in  this case it means all the roles we play out on earth from different frequency's. So if you step into a particular vibration it means that you just stept into a role fitting that particular frequency.

Alchemy

The Meaning of the Alchemy seal

Symbol for the philosophers stone

We are an alchemy of the archetypes

The middle circle - is nothingness, the void

The square - represents pure potential energy

The Triangle - Activated by Thoughts and Purified by Universal Energy

The outer circle - represents the Manifestation

It is the mind that creates from potential. Everything in this universe is energy. You activate your mind. You create with your mind, because your mind creates your emotions. Our emotions are the paint on the palette that paints the picture. So be careful which paint you pick up when someone challenges you to take "frustration" on your brush.

Be what you wish to see in the world.

Anima & Animus Archetypes

The two inner archetypal universal forces, that create patterns that live in all of us, shaped by generations of culture, mythology and personal experience

From childhood, we begin forming the inner images, a boy watches his mother, not just her actions, but the emotional atmosphere she caries, how she responds to pain, how she shows love, how she uses silence or anger or affection. All of it becomes part of the anima image within him.

Likewise a girl watches her father, his presence, or his absence, his strength, or his instability, the way he protects, the way he speaks, the way he handles stress or power or failure, this becomes her animus, the masculine voice inside her that later whispers in every decision, in every relationship. 

But the anima and animus are not just shaped by our parents. They are also formed by culture, religion, stories, songs. The roles we are told to play, what it means to be a man or a woman, are absorbed unconsciously.

Unless we confront these inner figures, they will take over our lives.

We don’t just love people, we often fall in love with our own projection of the anima or animus, that idealised inner image we’ve carried for years. 

Thats why some love’s feel hypnotic, intoxicating, spiritual, because they are not about the person in front of us. They are about the part of ourself that we never claimed, now suddenly reflected back at us through another.

The Anima

The Anima is the soul image of Woman inside the male psyche.

It is emotion, intuition, tenderness, creativity and chaos

She is the inner presence who brings softness and dept to the masculine mind.

But when repressed, she becomes a force of confusion, making the man overly sensitive, reactive, or romantically obsessed.

When a man is not make peace with his anima, he may become moody, overly emotional, or drawn to woman who rescue him emotionally, then destroy him. He may romanticise woman as divine muses or cruel seductresses, because his inner feling is fragmented.

A man who hasn’t integrated his anima may become obsessed with a woman not because of who she is, but because she embodies the image he’s been carrying sinds childhood. She becomes a fantasy, ethereal, mystical, Emotionally overwhelming, and when she fails to live up to that ideal, because no real human can, he swings between worship and resentment, desires and disappointment.

In that cycle, he isn’t loving her. He’s loving the version of himself that he never allowed to live.

The Animus

The Animus, on the other hand, is the spirit image of man inside the female psyche.

He is will, logic, structure, power and clarity.

He helps the woman make decisions, set boundaries, speak her truth.

But when distorted or unbalanced, he becomes rigid, cold, or critical, a voice that tells her to shut down her feelings and harden her heart

When a woman has not made peace with her animus, she may feel the need to control every situation, distrust vulnerability, or seek relationships where she is emotionally distant but mentally dominant. Her inner masculine is ungrounded, so she pushes others away.

A woman dominated by her animus may struggle to truly connect. She may see vulnerability as weakness. She might be attracted to men who are emotional distant because they confirm her belief that closeness is dangerous. Her inner masculine becomes a harsh inner critic, whispering that she must stay strong, independent, unshakable, even if it means being alone. She may even push love away, not because she doesn’t want it, but because her animus has taught her that emotional surrender is unsafe. This internal sabotage is subtile. It doesn’t announce itself. It comes in the form of small patterns, The same arguments, the same disappointments, the same magnetic draw to the wrong person. You think why do I always attract unavailable people? Why do I fall for someone and then feel empty after? Why do I keep choosing the same kind of partner again and again? Your anima or animus is doing the choosing. They are searching for something unresolved, something missing.

You project your inner feminine or masculine onto someone else hoping they’ll complete you.

This is the tragedy because both energies are sacred. We are not ment to live in polarity. We are ment to become whole!

To do this we must stop projecting the anima and animus outward and meet them within ourselves.

This is the path of individuation, the sacred journey of become your true self.
