An archetype is a universal pattern — a core template of energy and behaviour — that lives within the human psyche. You can think of it as a blueprint: an energetic code or structure that shapes how you experience life, express yourself, and relate to others.
What is the energy of an archetype?
Each archetype holds a specific vibrational frequency and emotional tone. It carries a defined energetic field with certain qualities, such as:
- The Lover: sensuality, magnetism, devotion, longing, emotional richness
- The Warrior: strength, discipline, honour, focus, protection
- The Queen: sovereignty, elegance, authority, responsibility, poise
- The Innocent: purity, trust, hope, vulnerability, simplicity
These aren’t just personality traits — they’re entire energy signatures. When you tune into an archetype, you align your field with its qualities, whether consciously or unconsciously.
What is the blueprint of an archetype?
The blueprint is like a cosmic design. It contains:
- Core purpose
- Instinctual behaviours
- Typical fears and desires
- Natural gifts and challenges
- Symbols, colours, myths associated with it
For example, the Priestess blueprint contains codes for intuition, mystery, sacred knowledge, and spiritual authority. Her challenge might be isolation or over-detachment, while her strength lies in clarity and channeling.
How do archetypes affect how you look, think, act, and feel?
Archetypes influence every layer of your being. Here’s how:
Thinking (Mind)
- They shape your inner narrative: what you believe about yourself, others, and the world.
- A Warrior archetype may have thoughts like: “I must overcome,” or “Discipline creates freedom.”
- A Rebel may think: “Rules are cages,” or “I’ll do it my way.”
Acting (Behaviour)
- They guide your choices, actions, and priorities.
- A Mother archetype might naturally nurture others and put their needs first.
- An Explorer may seek constant change, travel, and novelty.
Feeling (Emotions)
- They colour your emotional palette.
- A Lover archetype feels deeply — they experience connection, longing, heartbreak, and bliss more intensely.
- A Judge may wrestle with frustration, discernment, and the need for fairness.
Appearance (Embodiment)
- The energy of an archetype often shapes your physical presence.
- A Queen archetype might naturally carry herself with elegance, wear luxurious fabrics, or have a regal posture.
- A Mystic may favour darker clothes, minimal eye contact, or appear ethereal or detached.
- Even facial expressions, voice tone, gestures, and aura can reflect dominant archetypal energies.
Why does this matter?
Once you recognise which archetypes you’re running, you can:
- Reclaim suppressed parts of yourself
- Shift patterns you’ve outgrown
- Channel powerful energies with intention (e.g., activate the Warrior when launching a business)
- Balance your life by integrating missing or wounded archetypes
You are not only one archetype — you’re a constellation of many, but usually 2–3 lead the way in each life phase.
