In her 1984 book, Goddesses in Everywoman: Powerful Archetypes in Women’s Lives, psychiatrist and Jungian analyst Jean Shinoda Bolen delves into seven feminine archetypes within woman’s psyche, based on the goddesses of ancient Greece, whose names and mythologies have endured for more than three thousand years. Myths are not mere fictitious stories or fantasies of the human mind, but perennially recurring patterns that describe fundamental concerns of the human condition. What fulfils one woman may mean little to another, depending on which feminine archetype is constellated (or activated). Knowledge of the feminine archetypes provides women with vital information about their psychological difficulties, allowing them not just to understand themselves, but also their relationship with others. They also explain some of the difficulties and affinities women have with men. Knowledge of the “goddesses” provides useful information for men too. Men who want to understand women better can use feminine archetypes to learn that there are different types of women and what to expect from them.When you recognise the forces influencing you, you move closer to fulfilling the age-old maxim, “know thyself.” If you can learn about your own patterns of being, you can save yourself from some suffering. 📨 Subscribe to newsletter⭐ Support on Patreon🛒 Official merch━━━━━━━━━━━━━📚 Recommended Reading▶ Goddesses in Everywoman: Powerful Archetypes in Women's Lives https://amzn.to/4ewYjU1🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?
