Feminine Archetypes

About the deck

A deck about the energies a woman lives from: which one leads her now and which one she needs for what she wants.

The deck holds 80 metaphorical cards with images of the main feminine archetypes. An archetype is a structural element of the collective unconscious, shared by people regardless of culture or nationality.

It gathers archetypal patterns of a woman’s behavior and her states of energy in particular situations and in life as a whole.

The deck helps to make sense of inner states, to find both harmony and imbalance, to understand why certain things never come together, and to see the patterns in your own behavior.

The strength of archetypal work is that a state does not have to be changed over years; it can be tried on: step into it for a day and see how life around you changes.

The deck can be used as a diagnostic, deepening, resourcing, transformational and supporting tool in counseling, therapy, training and psychological transformation games.

With the “Feminine Archetypes” deck you can

• identify a woman’s state in a particular situation and in life as a whole
• find both harmony and imbalance in your energy
• understand why what matters never comes together
• see the patterns in your own behavior
• learn which archetype keeps you from what you want
• see which energy is affecting the situation from outside
• understand how the people around see a woman
• find the archetype that is suppressed and needs to come out
• find the resourceful archetype you can draw strength from
• understand which archetype pulls you into the minus and what feeds it

Questions to ask the deck

Work starts from these questions. Choose one, the one that speaks to you more strongly than the rest, and work with it, because only one archetype opens up well in a single session.

1. What state am I in in this situation?
2. Where is my harmony and where is my energy out of balance?
3. Why am I not managing to do what matters?
4. Which patterns of behavior keep me from my goal?
5. Which energy is affecting my situation from outside?
6. How do the people around see me?
7. Who am I really, inside?
8. Which archetype am I suppressing that needs to come out?
9. Which archetype pulls me into the minus?
10. Which archetype is resourceful for me right now?
11. Which energy do I live from most of the time?
12. Which state am I missing for my goal?
