Witnessing the shape~shifting magics of wOmen inspires us to really explOre that ancient wise of the bOdyMIND.
I hOpe this conversatiOn will remind you how enchanting you are…
archetypes…
The word archetype suggests an original pattern from which one relates.
common behavioral traits or tendencys …"instinct"
a recurring symbol or mythology / recurrence of characters or ideas sharing similarities
the embodiment of the fundamental characteristics of a thing, pattern of behavior, form
Archetypes are very close analogies to instincts, in that, long before any consciousness develops, it is the impersonal and inherited traits that present and motivate human behavior. They continue to influence feelings and behavior even after some degree of consciousness or free~will develops and evolves.
shifting the narrative while wandering intO motherhood…
Usage of archetypes can help often helps create universal acceptance. We relate to and identify with characters and situations, both socially and culturally. Deploying common archetypes connects realism to a standard and recurring depiction in a particular culture that ultimately lays concrete pillars for reference and reflection.
The negative function of this classification is to attach too strongly with an identity that is outgrown… a common theme alOng the perinatal path as we spiral a bit differently through space and time during phases of such physical and emotional transformation.
Stepping into the pregnancy pOrtal is an an oppurtunity to becOme…
maiden _ X mOther
life liver _ _ X life giver
main character_ _ _ X matriarch
…& all of the countless scenariOs in between. It feels wild that you spend your whole life becoming YOU &then in 10 mOOns you might be totally different, with a different bOdy, and a whole different set of daily routines & rhythms. The practices we create alOng the way to support grOwth & transformatiOn become the archetype we emBODY on the jOurney…(i feel like i could go on & on around this one & hOpe to circle back in the comments w/you…)
…Be open to shifting the narrative…🪄 WE ARE SHAPESHIFTERS after all… & REMEMBER: seek connection &conversation around these changes. Integrating support and reflection opportunities can help build realistic embodiment goals and expectations.
tarots’ take on the journey~ I really love exploring archetypes with tarot as each deck holds infinite possibilities and how to approach/apply them depending on where you are at on your own path. There are so many possibilities when we connect with each other and allow our intuition to inspire guidance from the collective experiences of others. Tarot has been shared for centuries by wanderers offering insight and play as they traveled through communities. I have found while practicing tarot that it is those little reminders, affirmations, mantras for the day.. that can keep us focused, content, or inspired in our world.
the fOOl~
represents a new beginning, a willingness to embrace the unknown, and the potential for taking risks guided by intuition, often depicted as a person standing on the edge of a cliff ready to leap into the unknown, symbolizing a fresh start and venturing into uncharted territory with a playful, naive, yet optimistic spirit; it's considered the first card in the Major Arcana, signifying the start of a journey.
The Fool can represent a new phase in life, taking a leap of faith, or embracing change. It can also symbolize being unburdened by past mistakes and fears, and being open to new experiences. This archetype is a powerful reminder of the limitless possibilities that lie ahead in life.
the fOOl is the first of the ‘archetype’ cards in tarOt & lately she has been giving me majOr MAMA ViBeS…
