What are the Archetypes?
The Lover
The Lover connects you to your heart. This is where true connection, vulnerability, and healing begins. By processing grief and releasing old wounds, you open yourself to deeper relationships with yourself and others. Working with The Lover helps you show up more present, compassionate, and emotionally attuned in every part of your life.
The Warrior
The Warrior is all about boundaries, and follows on from the work we do in The Lover. Protecting the realm he builds courage, discipline, and resilience, controlling anger and channeling the energy into purposeful action with strength and integrity. By embodying The Warrior, you become steady and reliable, ready to protect, provide, and thrive through life’s challenges.
The Magician
The Magician unlocks your inner wisdom and creativity. Following on from The Warrior, he is all about knowledge, information and figuring stuff out. However, this archetype must first master his fear, unhealthy beliefs and silence the inner critic. This helps you shift your perspective, solve problems, and find clarity in the chaos. Working with The Magician connects you to your intuition and empowers you to make decisions with confidence, clarity and vision.
The King
Finally, The King represents leadership, responsibility, and integrity. By aligning with your values and stepping into your authority, you can lead with purpose and humility, inspiring those around you. The King is here to serve the kingdom, not the other way around. By connecting to a purpose bigger than you He teaches you to protect what matters and create a life of meaning and impact.
