And here is the last snippet of the webinar on Moving with Archetypes back in October... This one addresses what happens when archetypes are out of balance... They can inflate or deflate and take us for a ride... Each archetype of course has both the inflated and deflated aspects, and here are just some examples alternating between inflated and deflated sides...
When the Maiden is deflated, she loses her curiosity. She feels old before her time, stuck in “what’s the point?” and afraid to begin.
When the Mother gets inflated, she becomes the over-giver. Everyone else comes first. She rescues, fixes and manages, even when nobody asked.
When the Warrior is deflated, she can’t protect her time, body or truth. She freezes, avoids and lets things slide that don’t feel right.
When the Queen gets inflated, she becomes controlling or superior. She knows best, delegates everything, and struggles to admit mistakes.
When the Crone is deflated, she disconnects from her depth and long view. She forgets what she already knows.
When the Unraveler gets inflated, she burns everything down. Constant endings, dramatic exits, tearing down what’s still alive.
When the Healer is deflated, she neglects herself and may feel numb, disconnected from her own wounds and needs.
When the Mystic gets inflated, she floats away. Spiritual bypassing, living in visions and symbols while ignoring practical life.
Any of those you recognise? Or are you curious to the ones I didn't mention... DM me for more info on the archetypal goddess course which is starting very soon now - registrations close on 15 January!
