Archetypes are a set of patterns in the subconscious that influence consciousness and action! They have an instinctive nature and have been embedded in man since ancient times! According to Carl Jung, a person from birth has the whole set of archetypes (collective unconscious)! The influence of archetypes is unconsciously projected outward and accompanied by emotions (affects)! With awareness of the manifesting archetype, its influence can be nullified or another one can be developed, which is necessary (but less manifested)!
If the archetype is unconscious, then it continues to manifest itself further, uncontrollably for the person himself!
If a man knows about the existence of archetypes, he can recognize them in himself and control them!
The purpose of this inner work- permission internal conflicts, the ability to direct your energy correctly, become a more harmonious personality, more successfully manifest yourself in society, business and in the family!
Male power is a crystal with seven faces! According to the research of psychologists, it manifests itself in seven main archetypes!
1. Warrior - the desire for superiority and victory!
2. King - the desire to take responsibility and provide decent management!
3. Merchant - the desire to effortlessly create beautiful combinations!
4. Peasant - the desire to work in a stable and orderly manner!
5. Philosopher - the desire to constantly look for the meaning of what is happening and learn new things!
6. Monk - the desire to serve a great idea, God!
7. Servant - the desire to serve people!
Each of these archetypes manifests itself in a man depending on the situation, and each of them, he can independently track and, if necessary, apply the other!
Now let's talk more about each of the archetypes:
The archetype of the Warrior - gives strength to deal with difficulties and to achieve results, healthy passion and the desire to win! The resource of this archetype helps to defend one's position, to protect one's cause and those who are close to it!
A warrior gives his family the opportunity to feel protected, protects, protects, brings trophies!
If there is no fair idea in a man's life for which he can fight, the Warrior Force in him begins to fade and can destroy him! The strength of the Warrior gives rise to a "conflict character", forms a "special sense of territory"! In business, the Force of the Warrior will force a man to conquer new niches, capture new markets, territories!
The power of the Warrior makes a man very jealous! However, he himself can cheat on his beloved (while confidently believing that he did not cheat on her spiritually)!
As for sexual relations, the Warrior Power gives a man the charm of a good lover! Passionately, intensely, often quickly - like before a fight, and without much sensitivity to the needs of women! After intimacy, they fall asleep almost immediately!
Interest in born children begins to show only when they begin to recognize him! In this case, preference is given to boys! After all, you can grow a warrior out of them!
By the age of 30, a male warrior needs to achieve success, recognition! The fact is that after 30-35 years a warrior loses a resource social adaptation, becomes inflexible! He is convinced that he deserves more and is capable of more, but society, people do not give him this! And the strength to “take it yourself” is no longer enough! This is such a drama of a “midlife crisis”! In this case, the Strength of a Warrior after 40-50 will manifest itself as conflict, irritability, sometimes grumbling and grumbling!
Archetype of the King - forms a desire for power in a man, creates an ambitious motivation and helps to climb career ladder, strengthens organizational abilities! This archetype gives the male a sense of self as a ruler; but the strategies for achieving power that he will apply depend on the application of the forces of other male archetypes: a merchant, a peasant, a servant, a philosopher or a monk! Men of this archetype love to patronize, they love to hear compliments addressed to them!
The power of the King increases with the years! By the age of 30-40, he needs to own his own real estate, have those for whom he will take responsibility and whom he can command! One of the tests is a conspiracy, a betrayal of those close to you! But the transition to the game format will allow the King to win against the conspirators and ill-wishers!
The Merchant archetype is a special masculine power that manifests itself in different directions, covers all mental spheres: from instinct to reason! The power of the Merchant allows a man to make the inaccessible accessible not at the cost of incredible physical and strong-willed efforts, but as if effortlessly!
Their weapon is not a dagger and a gun, but the mind, creative thinking, charm, artistry, sense of humor, sober calculation and common sense! It is impossible to resist the "merchant charisma" of a man! Even if you are in hindsight and understand what it is complete nonsense, you will still like how he does it! The power of the Merchant makes a man a communication genius! He willingly influences and manipulates people, getting great pleasure from the process! Do you think he enjoys his power? Not at all! Merchant Man miraculously attracts money! He believes in Luck, His star and Common sense! He lies with honest eyes, because at this moment he himself believes in what he says! That's why he's so persuasive! He is drawn to adventure, adventure, risk!
Archetype of the Peasant - makes a man incredibly patient, hardy, efficient, consistent, predictable, reliable! This is pragmatism, love for material values and dependence on them! Thrift, greed, frugality, the desire to follow traditions, "raise children" and "bring them out into the world"! This is an incredibly economic man, punctual, pedantic, thrifty and loving order! Everything he does is solely for the sake of the family, children, procreation and maintenance of Life! His words “My home is my fortress, as well as a worthy monument to my family”! The Peasant archetype enhances diligence, helps to work patiently, calmly, methodically, stock up for the future, care for and support those who are nearby, save money and material resources, put things in order and support it! A real Peasant lives by his own mind, but learns from the mistakes of others! He chooses an exquisite woman as his wife, often above himself in social status!
Archetype of the Philosopher - in order to move forward, a philosophical justification of activity is required! This archetype encourages you to constantly improve in your business, learn, come to the state of the Master! This is a thirst for knowledge, study, research new! He strives to get to the bottom of everything! It is also a desire to explain phenomena in life, society, nature and create your own theory! The desire to teach, create your own school, find followers and share experience!
Even if a man has become a homeless person, he will present you his own coherent theory of self-realization in this world - you will listen!
As for relationships with women, the main thing is that they act as students! Then he has the opportunity to teach her “how to do it right and how to live right”! Too smart, educated, successful women- not for him! What will you teach them?
The strength of the Philosopher grows over the years! After 40-50 years, it is important that in his life there was an opportunity for teaching, teaching others! You can write memoirs at 50!
Archetype of the Monk - awakens a sense of one's own mission, purpose, high meaning of service! The uniqueness of his strength, in its spiritual conditioning! Self-sufficiency, self-restraint, self-discipline!
It is the Archetype of the Monk that gives a man a huge resource of psychological resistance - resistance to the action of external stress factors! A monk does not depend on the opinions of others!
It is almost impossible to convince a Monk! He is free from attachment to people but attached to the idea!
A woman will be happy with a Monk only if she fully supports his experience of serving the idea and puts up with his need to be alone often - this is where the test for female love is!
The Servant archetype gives you the strength to understand and obey what cannot be changed! This archetype gives the power of humility in the face of circumstances!
It helps to adequately work in submission to someone and honestly fulfill their duties! This allows a man to forget about the word “I want” for a while and act in accordance with what is “needed”!
If in a man the power of the Servant Archetype is negligible or blocked, he will never make a serious career! In addition to the stigma of "rebel" he will achieve little in life!
It follows from this that the awareness of all behavioral archetypes allows the personality to freely flow from one role to another, and this makes life is easy and allows you to freely achieve your goals!
With Love for Everything!
From time immemorial, men have realized themselves as warriors, philosophers (teachers), merchants, peasants (land-dealers), monarchs, monks and slaves.
Seven socio-professional roles, seven male archetypes. Of course, there can be much more of them, but for convenience, protecting ourselves from redundant information, we will focus on this lucky number.
In each of the male archetypes, a certain energy, basic desire, focus, motivation, tools for achieving success are concentrated. It is important for us to understand that in every man in a certain ratio there are all seven archetypes.
Each male archetype describes one of the facets of male power. Therefore, comprehending your beloved through archetypes, you will finally see him "in full glory."
So, in every man there are all seven archetypes. One or more are more pronounced, others are weaker. And this circumstance creates a unique individuality of your chosen one. Individuality, colored by his temperament, level of education and culture, life experience.
Warrior archetype. In this archetype, open active struggle comes first. For a warrior, both the process of the fight and the result, victory, are important. For a warrior, feat is important. “I fight because I fight,” said the legendary Portoe.
However, a warrior does not fight just for the sake of the process. In this archetype, the theme of justice is important. A true warrior fights for the victory of justice. Even if he participates in a dubious military campaign, he must still have the confidence that he is doing the right thing. At least from my point of view.
The archetypal nature of the Warrior is to fight for justice. Under the influence of this archetype, a man becomes active, aggressive. But at the same time generous. Generosity, of course, extends only to the scope of ideas about justice.
It is important to distinguish human values and justice in the representation of the Warrior. These two categories are not always consistent with each other. A warrior defends, fights for what he considers fair and right.
Another aspect of the Warrior archetype is the attitude towards one's own territory. On the one hand, he guards, protects his territory. On the other hand, he seeks to expand its borders, to seize foreign territory. For him, someone who has a certain territorial right and generally any benefits is a potential enemy, a factor, on the one hand, restraining his activity, on the other hand, provoking its manifestation.
The warrior feels great on the front line. Everything is clear there: there is an enemy to be defeated, there are soldiers to be commanded. As for the issues of the rear, here the warrior does not feel so confident, there are too many "half-tones", assumptions, intrigues. The Warrior archetype has no resources for intrigue, it is the prerogative of another archetype.
The Warrior archetype gives a man the ability to acutely feel two main processes: excitation and inhibition. Excitement culminates in combat, inhibition culminates in the breaks between battles. normal mode ancient warrior: fight - feast. For example, it is known that the famous Cossacks between military campaigns engaged in gluttony and alcohol abuse.
Two basic processes for a warrior - excitation and inhibition - exist in close relationship. If his braking is taken away, he will burn in battle. If he is deprived of excitement, the feeling of a fight, conflict, the opportunity to accomplish a feat, he degrades.
If the Warrior archetype is strongly expressed in a man, conflict will be vital for him. Life for him is a war, consisting of big and small battles, from which he must emerge victorious. Such a man will be inclined to deliberately provoke others to a conflict: to cause irritation, to invite "to measure strength." Fighting is life for him, and the best entertainment is a good fight.
In a woman, a man with a strong Warrior archetype will see first of all a trophy. He will definitely have to win it. And she, on the one hand, must provide for his rear, but on the other hand, must constantly support in him the desire to conquer her. He will consider her betrayal as a betrayal, allowing the enemy to enter his territory. What is due for treason among real warriors? Only death.
So, the Warrior archetype in a man stimulates an active desire to conquer, argue, fight, conquer, protect, fight for justice. The Warrior archetype activates in a man the desire to win and for this to improve his own physical and mental nature.
The Warrior archetype, like the God of War inside a man, helps to maintain tone, a constant state of readiness for action.
Archetype of the Philosopher (Teacher). Philosophers, teachers explain the structure of the world and pass this knowledge on to others. The basic desire formed by this archetype is the desire to know the truth, to objectively comprehend reality, to create a model of the world, of society. This archetype contains the search for a formula for life, love, motivation for human actions.
“The tendency to analyze, to build abstract judgments is the reason that he [a man] is more accessible to the abstract theoretical activity, free from the viscosity of sensory perception: he can think in an abstract, generalized, abstract way, finding in this a certain satisfaction from the shuffling and combination of concepts occupying him. A man always tries to put the characteristics of the phenomenon he observes or studies into the categories of space, time, causality; the “wonderful” behavior of the object irritates and offends him until he brings him even a minimal, but “objective” base,” these words of the St. Petersburg psychotherapist Alfred Shchegolev can be safely attributed to a man in whom the archetype of the Philosopher is strongly expressed.
famous men, creators of philosophical, social, political and psychological theories, had a pronounced archetype of the Philosopher, the Teacher. “In everything I want to get to the very essence, in work, in the search for ways, in heart trouble,” wrote Boris Pasternak. This desire is caused by the action of the archetype of the Teacher.
If it is important for the Warrior to win, then for the Philosopher it is to find confirmation of his theory, his views, his correctness. Having created a certain model, he explains from its position what is happening around him. If a certain phenomenon does not fit into his concept, he either develops, supplements his theory, or declares it an exception to the rules, confirming the rules. It happens that a man with a pronounced archetype of the Philosopher is very sorry to part with a “beautiful theory”, he desperately defends it with the energy of a warrior and can even give his life for it.
The archetype of the Philosopher forms in a man, on the one hand, the desire to explain the world. On the other hand - to convey the fruit of their thoughts to others.
Others for the Philosopher are colleagues (teachers) and students. A man with a strong Philosopher archetype definitely needs students. He will be detailed and thorough to them, seeking full understanding, to explain the structure of the world from the standpoint of his theory.
Also, a man with a strong archetype of the Philosopher needs colleagues - he can argue with them. During the discussion, he finds new arguments in support of his position. If he is convincing, then some colleagues will "pass over to his faith."
As for the relationship with a woman, the archetype of the Philosopher forms in a man the desire to find a student. The one that he, with the help of his knowledge and wisdom, can wrest from the captivity of delusions, illiteracy and illusions. For which she will invariably experience a legitimate sense of gratitude, admiration and worship. The main quality for a companion of a man with a strong Teacher archetype is the ability to listen and listen. You can not understand something, modestly ask clarifying questions, but you can’t argue. This is the privilege of colleagues.
The archetype of the Philosopher (Teacher) helps a man to explain the world and pass this knowledge on to others. And this can be done not only seriously, but also with a sense of humor. As some jesters did, and now the successors of their work are humorists and satirists.
Archetype of the Merchant. The contribution of merchants to the creation economic system hard to overestimate. Moving from place to place, they extended the threads of communication not only between people, but also between cultures and ethnic groups.
To go on a journey, you need a certain amount of adventurism; in order to make trade transactions, you need to feel the psychology of a partner and a buyer subtly, and to each find special approach; to create conditions for prosperity, you need a flexible mind and combinatorial abilities; in order to survive the loss of goods and force majeure, the excitement of the player is often necessary.
Therefore, the Merchant archetype carries adventurism, flair, flexibility, communication skills, intuition, a subtle understanding of someone else's psychology, a creative mind, combinatorial abilities, lightness, artistry and an amazing ability to "apply
pull" money.
The one in whom the Merchant archetype is strong can easily build ingenious combinations to acquire money, be a gambler. But he is not attached to money, he can easily part with it. For the Merchant, money is a means to achieve certain goals. He turns money into goods, goods into money. The Merchant archetype is not greedy.
Among literary heroes a prime example men with a strong archetype of the Merchant - Ostap Bender, the great strategist. Also, these are the heroes of OTenry, great scammers, great businessmen, heroes of the films "All In", "Scam", "Thomas Crown Affair", "Bluff". Look - enjoy.
The dominant passion of a man with a pronounced Merchant archetype is a passion for the game. He manages to build an ingenious combination to receive money, use manipulative technologies easily and naturally. Moreover, the Merchant archetype gives a man a special charm, magic, charm, so people want to work with him, build relationships.
Merchants have always had strong notions of honor ("honest merchant's word"). Therefore, the Merchant archetype carries ideas about ethics in business. With whom you can play, with whom you can’t; who can be manipulated, who cannot; to what extent it is possible to enrich oneself at the expense of another - all this a man with a pronounced archetype of the Merchant feels intuitively. The code of honor formed by the Merchant archetype is not described anywhere, but every man in which this archetype is strong has clear ideas about it.
Another strength contained in the Merchant archetype is the ability to cooperate. At all times, merchants united in guilds, unions, brotherhoods. Take, for example, the brotherhood of the Blackheads, which included unmarried, prosperous merchants. Anyone who was part of this brotherhood could count on the help of his brethren. The ability to cooperate among the ancient merchants was due vital necessity.
So, on the one hand, the Merchant archetype gives a man creative commercial individualism, adventurism, on the other hand, the ability to cooperate, honest cooperation with partners.
As for relationships with a woman, this archetype does not burden a man with constancy. A change of scenery, environment, an interesting intrigue, a game - this is what interests a man with a pronounced Merchant archetype. If a woman is part of this, she will be interesting to him. But he will not tolerate any boredom and excessive stability. A woman living next to a man with a pronounced Merchant archetype will have to carefully stock up “for a rainy day”, turning to them in a difficult period (and “presenting” this as a merit of a man to save). In addition, she will have to forgive his frivolity and occupy her mind with the creative process of creating a game with her lover.
The Merchant archetype gives a man a good receptivity, thanks to which he can comprehend the subtle female nature. Therefore, a man with a strong Merchant archetype knows how to beautifully, unconventionally, elegantly look after, be attentive and sentimental. The Merchant archetype gives a man excellent acting skills, because he can be different. This circumstance is especially attractive for many women. Women have told me in confidence that the best lovers are men with a strong Merchant archetype.
The Archetype of the Merchant, if it dominates in a man, makes his life a real Adventure. He is constantly called by the road, change. He is a true fortune hunter.
Archetype of the Peasant. Farmers tend to be sedentary. The main thing for them is a sense of constancy, stability. The peasant understands the cycles of nature well, knows when to start sowing, when to hay, when to harvest. He is hardworking and adapted to monotonous work, pragmatic and prudent.
A good peasant knows how to make stocks, knows how, if he's lucky, he knows how to sell part of the crop. For the ancient peasant, it was important to survive by feeding himself and his family, to continue life, giving a large number of offspring.
If the archetype of the Peasant is strongly expressed in a man, he will be stingy and unpretentious; he will always have money set aside "for a rainy day"; he will have the ability to be content with little. He will be able to work patiently, denying himself much, in order to acquire a valuable thing, to build his own own house. Children are of particular value to him as the successors of his family, his deeds, his traditions.
For the archaic peasant, traditions, rituals, memorable dates meant a lot. Carrying elements of tribal memory, they ensured the stability of existence and development.
The Peasant archetype does not contain the energy of adventurism. Therefore, men with a strongly manifested Peasant archetype do not like changes, risky operations, innovations. They trust their instincts more and life experience, tradition, stereotype than the recommendations of "cool" experts.
Peasant cunning, ingenuity, common sense and optimism are often demonstrated by the heroes of everyday and satirical fairy tales. True, this does not prevent them from sometimes being too gullible.
Good house, a well-fed family, the presence of subsistence farming, their land, stability - these are the main values of the Peasant archetype. You might even think that this male archetype does not contain conflict, struggle. But it's not. The ancient peasant had to fight. His enemies were the elements, insects, hostile tribes. If required, he could protect his home and family, and even give his life for it. Despite the fact that the value of life for him is very high. If he lost his home and crops, he found the strength, courage and patience to start all over again.
If the archetype of the Peasant is weakly manifested in a man, he will lack practicality, the ability to patiently make savings, wait for "his hour"; that special feeling of support, stability, confidence that comes not from within, but "from the earth itself" will be missed.
As for relationships with a woman, the Peasant archetype forms in a man the desire to marry a “good housewife”, who will be moderately beautiful, pragmatic, thrifty, hardy and hardworking. Next to him should be a woman who affirms with her existence the ideas of stability, healthy pragmatism and procreation. True, women have told me that the Peasant archetype makes a man greedy.
For example, one lady said: “This Peasant in my husband got me! Imagine, we saved up money for a long time, finally went to the store to buy me a coat. Bought. Then we went to another department and took more boots. Then we bought another small teapot. I was happy. But when we left the store and got into the car, my husband counted the money, and then itched all the way how much we had spent.
And by the way, we even saved money! So I don’t understand how it’s possible not to be happy about shopping, but to think about how much we spent!”
So, the Peasant archetype gives a man a desire for stability, procreation, finding his own home, his household, his family. Thanks to the Peasant within himself, a man has the ability and patience to engage in monotonous work day after day, to resist boredom and routine.
Monarch archetype. Crowned, just, the vicar of God on earth, wise, far-sighted, far-sighted; thinking for his subjects, taking responsibility not only for himself, but also for the lives of the entire people, state; who knows how to take care of his subjects, to see more than them, to think cleaner than they are - this is a far from complete list of qualities and abilities that the Monarch archetype carries.
The archetype of the Monarch forms in a man the desire to patronize, take responsibility, take a leading position, lead people; allows you to be generous to the weak, to make grand gestures and royal gifts.
A monarch cannot be a monarch alone. He needs retinue, courtiers, courtiers. And they will definitely have it on significant influence. But all decisions are made only by him, and no one else. He alone is the master of the situation, who rarely errs and sees everything in advance.
Men with a pronounced archetype of the Monarch carry the whole set of these wonderful qualities and aspirations. But this archetype also gives social dependence. A man's well-being depends on his social achievements, status, authority, ability to influence events. Collapse in society can lead to personal ruin if the influence of this archetype is too strong. After all, the worst thing for a monarch is the deprivation of his throne.
Women, as a rule, dream about men with a pronounced archetype of the Monarch, rightly believing that with him they will be like behind a stone wall. However, it is important to remember that the companions of the greats shared with them not only blessings, but also difficulties, as well as the vicissitudes of the royal character, pain for the state and the stupidity of subjects.
The Monarch archetype in a man can manifest itself not only as generosity, responsibility, political and strategic wisdom. This archetype sometimes manifests in a man his shadow side of the “oriental despot”. In this case, the man begins to believe that absolute power, the absolute right to truth and judgment belong only to him. Those around him, especially those closest to him, should not take any unauthorized liberties, have no right to criticize his position and decisions, and all their actions should be under his vigilant control.
The archetype of the Monarch does not give a man abstinence in relation to the weaker sex. In archaic times, when monarchs were considered the deputies of the gods, it was their "holy duty" to embrace with their male power as much as possible more women. Of course, the heart of the monarch may belong to the true queen, but the body - to many concubines.
Thanks to the archetype of the Monarch, men love compliments addressed to them (even turning into praises and solemn hymns).
This archetype enables a man to vividly feel, experience his own creative masculine power, and also constantly strive for power over himself, others, and circumstances.
Monk archetype. A monk, a hermit, an enlightened one dedicates his life to the Service of a higher idea (usually one). The highest idea can come from Subtle or Social reality. This idea could be God, Beautiful lady, Goodness and Justice, a bright future for mankind, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and others.
This archetype forms faith in a man, even sometimes obsession, frenzy in aspirations. He gives strength to follow his idea, find his own kind, consistently put it into practice.
A man in whom the Monk archetype is strongly expressed easily endures loneliness. You can even call him an individualist. He forms around himself a special aura of his own world, into which access is not open to everyone. Only to those chosen ones who have proven their loyalty or devotion to the idea.
As for relationships with a woman, this archetype gives a man the power of abstinence. If the archetype of the Monk in a man is strongly expressed, then he will strive either to remain alone or to find a faithful companion who shares his views and is ready to sacrifice herself to his Service.
So this archetype gives a man special sensitivity to lofty ideas and strength to serve them.
Slave archetype. Slave, servant, serf, serf, proletarian - at different times this archetype showed the world different faces and roles. The basic principle here is the lack of responsibility, the ability to manage one's life. The master decides everything for the slave. On the one hand, it's humiliating. This circumstance led to various uprisings, ending in constant tragedy, on the other hand, conveniently. No need to think for yourself: what they said, they did.
In a slave, contradictory tendencies were intricately intertwined: the desire to be free, fear, the desire to be in the role of a master, the dream of a freebie...
Unfortunately, for a long time the Soviet politic system purposefully destroyed the positive component of this archetype. And strengthened his shadow side: lack of will, irresponsibility. Many women complain about their husbands and sons precisely because this archetype is disharmoniously dominant in them (“He is weak-willed, irresponsible, he doesn’t need anything, I have to decide everything myself”, etc.).
Thanks to the harmonious action of this archetype, a man can adapt in society, as they say, "live in the system", obey someone else's will. A harmoniously developed Slave archetype helps a man to serve with joy, to serve with pleasure. If a man has a weakly expressed this archetype, it will be difficult for him to work under someone's guidance, obey the rules, and meet expectations.
“I would be glad to serve, it’s sickening to serve!” Chatsky exclaims. As a rule, the weak archetype of the Slave is compensated by the archetype of the Monarch. And he, as you know, prefers to set the rules himself, and those who are trying to put pressure on him ... you understand.
So, the Slave archetype gives a man the power of submission. How he disposes of it depends on many circumstances.
That's it, lovely ladies. Now you know how we are "arranged". The individual expression of archetypes is superimposed on the temperament, experience of a man, his features early development, its general cultural level. And with all this you have to deal with... What do you think about it?

WE INVITE WOMEN TO THE WEBINAR!
Wherever you look, there are only archetypes everywhere. What is an archetype? This is, first of all, a program of behavior, a universal innate mental structure. The author of the term (by the way, the word "archetype" is a compound word, consisting of the Greek "arche" - the beginning and "typos" - the original image, primary form) - Carl Gustav Jung. It was he who developed the concept of archetypes. Today, knowledge of the archetype of a person helps him and those around him to better navigate in his mental life better understand the motives of his actions.
An archetype is a symbol, a concept that combines instincts, images, body, psyche. Belonging to a certain archetype has a serious impact on the worldview, position and life scenario of any person. The dominant archetype in the psyche sets the type of thinking for a person and really becomes a model of behavior that determines the fate of its carrier.
Why dominant? Because a person can have up to 3 archetypes, each of which has its own scenarios, reflected in ancient Greek myths. Naturally, the archetypes themselves received the names of the gods of ancient Greece.
There are male and female archetypes. For a woman, knowing the basic male archetypes can be very useful. Yes, and men should get to know their God better.
Poseidon
Poseidon also seeks to acquire his own kingdom. However, increased emotionality, quickly flaring up and fading interest, momentary and decisions made under the influence of feelings do not allow Poseidon to achieve much in life. Such is the payment for excessive sensitivity and a bright spiritual life.
Like the ruler of the underworld, the bearer of the Hades archetype is immersed in his own world and, as it were, is not interested in the world of people, is not present in it. Hades is an introvert. He is withdrawn and withdrawn.
Jung believed that people belonging to this archetype have an extremely developed intuition. They very subtly feel the background of any events around them, they feel the deep essence of people, although outwardly they do not betray their emotions in any way.
Apollo
Apollo men - pleasant interlocutors He is harmonious and diplomatic. Adoring accuracy and order in everything, Apollo pays little attention emotional side life. After all, he is extremely practical, and is guided in everything by logic, reason, and not by transient emotions and feelings. Even in relationships with women.
Hermes
A lively, talented, agile, fast and clear-thinking Hermes man embodies all the best and worst features fickle god. He wants everything, at once, and is ready to go for it all at once in several directions. And in all at the same time.
To charm, to lure in the net of his charm - Hermes does it superbly. Unfortunately, he himself does not feel anything and therefore is completely incapable of caring for the feelings of other people.
Ares
Eccentric passionate Ares lives only for today. His mind is instincts, his strategy is emotions and feelings. From birth, he is distinguished by emotionality, impulsiveness, aggressiveness, and later - bright sexuality. With such qualities, it is not surprising that Ares cannot stand being alone.
Hephaestus
Introverts who are always worried about something, living in the power of emotions, creative subtle and vulnerable personalities, often Artists with capital letter- these are the representatives of the archetype of the craftsman god Hephaestus. Hephaestus never becomes a team player. He simply does not tolerate pressure from an authority or a group, and it is difficult for a Hephaestus man to communicate with people.
Dionysus
Contradictory emotional extrovert Dionysus, who dominates a man, makes his carrier always be a little "too". Too attractive, too bright, too feminine, too provocative, too childish. Dionysus is restless and is always trying to change something.
Dionysus does not like male company. And men rarely take him "for their own." This cheerful God prefers the company of female girlfriends to the male team.
But why and why to find out which of the ancient gods lives in a man, shuffles him life scenarios and patterns of behavior? And to the fact that knowing the archetype of a man, the reasons for some of his actions, it is already much easier to understand and accept him as he is.
female archetypes.
Artemis
The first on the list is Artemis, a goddess who demonstrates incredible fortitude. She, like a warrior, always strives for victory and never looks for ways back. Her determination, focus and self-confidence went down in history. Such a woman in modern world, most likely, occupies a "male" position, and has a number of masculine qualities.
For her, there is no such word as “I can’t”, everything is based on “I want and I will achieve”. At the same time, she loves freedom very much and will never give it up. Therefore, love and family are not the goal of her life, although such may be present in her fate.
She sees men as friends and business partners perhaps as lovers. But to open up completely to someone, to trust - this is not at all characteristic of her.
Athena 
Another strong representative of the weaker sex is Athena. Her character traits are similar to Artemis, but only in part. She also dislikes expressing her emotions, being sensitive and weak. In life, he prefers to reach heights and realize big dreams.
Her thinking is purely analytical, she is an excellent strategist and calculates everything in advance, so her level of intelligence is definitely above average. If necessary, she can make the man she is interested in approach her himself, without even knowing that the meeting was not accidental.
By the way, she is only interested in someone who himself was able to achieve a lot in his life, and romantics and dreamers are not suitable for Athena. By nature, she is a leader who manages her own life and is a very strong personality.
Gesta
Gesta is an absolutely opposite image to the previous two. She is a real housewife. Her inner world and experiences are only hers. Such a girl will never share her feelings with others, she will be an excellent listener and a quiet mouse in the company.
But, despite this, she will not feel discomfort in her loneliness. Household chores and worries about her husband can turn into her small world where she will feel safe and secure.
Hera
The main thing for Hera is her husband. He is the purpose of her life and all existence. She instinctively looks for a strong and confident partner, whom she will take care of until the end of her days. If before marriage she communicates at least a little with her friends, then after that she forgets about them altogether.
Often, she always thinks about the well-being of her spouse, and children will never become more important than him. Most likely, she will try to work with him so that she never loses sight of him. And if her husband cheats on her, from her point of view, the second woman will be to blame for everything, but not her “ideal”.
She is very afraid of being alone, and therefore she can forgive a lot in order to save her marriage. Meanwhile, she is especially jealous and fickle.
Demeter 
Demeter is another overprotective woman. True, it is not so much her husband that becomes her fetish, but the whole family as a whole. To all this, she is capable of close friendship with women, especially if they also have a family and similar problems. As soon as children appear in her life, she is ready to completely dissolve in caring for them and turn them into the meaning of her existence.
Her husband can be a person with a weak character, perhaps creative, who needs maternal affection. Demeter will perfectly cope with this task, and will pity him like a small child. True, in an effort to help everyone, she risks forgetting her own desires.
Persephone
This archetype describes a morally weak person who constantly listens to the opinions of others and does as someone told her. In appearance, she looks like a small child requiring guardianship, therefore she very often evokes maternal feelings in the women around her.
At heart, she will always remain young, and partly this will be reflected in her appearance. She is often very close to her mother and later to her husband. It is easy to command and command her, because she does not have her own opinion.
In relationships with men, she is shy and naive like a child, so her chosen one will have to teach her a lot and help her overcome her own modesty.
Aphrodite. She is a real treat
an example of true femininity and beauty. Her charm is visible even through nondescript features. Such a girl constantly falls in love with someone, but does not become strongly attached. For other women, she is a real rival, but for some she can be a friend.
With regards to work, Aphrodite is pretty creative person and can be very able-bodied if she directs her indefatigable energy in this direction.
G
fuck
The Hebe girl is somewhat reminiscent of Persephone. She also possesses gentle nature and likes to listen to the opinions of others. But her most important feature is that she wants to always remain young. This is clearly visible in her appearance and behavior. Hebe at any age will dress youthfully and brightly. Unfortunately, over the years, this will cause problems for her, as she simply does not want to recognize the influence of time on her appearance.
In addition, as a person, she is somewhat irresponsible, as she prefers someone to make responsible decisions instead of her.
quiet
Quiet - very interesting person, trying to control 
everyone and everything, be the center of attention and have a voice. At the same time, she is too emotional to lead a calm, measured life. So, she has many friends, but their number is influenced by her fleeting desire or mood. If someone doesn’t please her, that’s all, she will make sure that this person will no longer be in an environment close to her. And, on the contrary, as soon as she comes up with something for herself, former enemy can be your best friend again.
The most striking thing about all this is that such a girl is not guided by objective reasons, but simply regards everything according to the type of "like-dislike".
Also, this archetype is characterized by fearlessness. As a leader, a person with this character can take risky steps, but he will never be afraid of possible negative consequences.
In the Tiche family, at first she behaves like any lady in love, and then, slowly, she begins to sort out the right to vote to her side. Her love of control is also manifested here, she tries to command her husband's life from all sides. It can even go so far that she will work with him at the same job, just not to let him out of sight.
In order to come to balance and harmony, Tyche should understand that every person has the right to personal space and freedom of action.
Nemesis
Many people know that Nemesis is the goddess of justice. And it’s not without reason that they say so about her, because she, in fact, lives according to the rules and norms all her life. Such a woman often judges the actions of each person (and her own too) by how true or correct they are. Unfortunately, often we are talking not about compliance current law or moral standards. Nemesis herself comes up with her own personal rules, that is, her individual perception of the world is too developed.
As for feelings, she is not too emotional, because where emotions wake up, the mind turns off, and it becomes impossible to adhere to any law. Accordingly, a girl with such an archetype cannot afford to love. Of course, there are relationships in her life, then there will be no deep love in them.
It's the same with friendships. She judges people by their actions, but does not include their feelings in the calculation. Despite such qualities, she is very principled, straightforward and responsible. If he takes on something, he brings it to the end.
Hecate
Hekate is the most mysterious goddess of all described by the Swiss 
psychiatrist. She represents mystical world, and therefore a woman with such an archetype often loves everything related to magic and mysticism in general.
Her strength is that she reads people as if open books, it helps her developed intuition. Psychologically, this is a very strong person with a rich inner world. Sometimes people are afraid of such abilities and consider her almost a witch. By the way, all witches and people prone to witchcraft will certainly have the archetype of Hecate.
In personal relationships, such a girl is also not going smoothly. She is more absorbed in the other world than the real one, and therefore love and everything connected with it is not for her. The ideal partner can only be the man who himself is interested in this topic.
Finally, it is worth noting that one person cannot have only one archetype. As a rule, two or three archetypes are always combined and one of them can be dominant. In order to be a harmonious personality, you need to try to somehow balance the traits in yourself. different types. Almost every archetype has its shortcomings and must be combated by acquiring new character traits.
Despite the fact that most theorists and practitioners of psychology are men, the sphere of feelings, communication and relationships is considered traditionally female. Women are more emotional, responsive, better understand and feel the inner world of another person. From childhood, a man is taught to be directed to the outside world, its knowledge and conquest. He must be restrained in the manifestation of emotions, bold and active. But what drives a man?
American Jungian psychoanalyst Jin Shinoda Bolen was engaged in the study of female and male archetypes. In 1989, her book " Gods in every man”, where male archetypes are represented in the form of the mythical gods of Olympus.
The classification of male archetypes proposed by J. Bolen is the view of a female scientist on the archetypal nature of the male psyche and on the psychology of men.

- beloved son Apollo,
- warrior Ares,
- cunning Hermes,
- mystic Dionysus.
Gods are possible models of behavior. In the psyche, some gods are activated, while others are suppressed. This happens because a man has to conform, adapt, meet the expectations of others.

There are male archetypes: Zeus, Poseidon, Hades (Hades), Apollo, Hermes, Ares, Hephaestus, Dionysus. Men are less trusting than women and they don't think that archetypes are something useful and necessary for them. In the male psyche, archetypes are divided into gods: fathers and sons, into kings and jacks.
Zeus, Poseidon and Hades represent the three aspects of the father archetype, they divided the world among themselves and each became the master and ruler of his part. Everyone has their own unique parenting style.
The first archetype is Zeus- the god of consciousness and mind, most revered in the era of patriarchy, he is ready for anything for the sake of success, wealth and power. Vain and very rich, his main symbol is an eagle. He is cruel and cunning. Governs the entire material world. Zeus has the personal qualities of powerful fathers, leaders, kings and men in high positions in society. Zeus is a skilled strategist and the most powerful god of Olympus. He has the ability to convince others of his innocence and to subordinate to his will. This is the archetype of the king and decisive action. Zeus believes that wealth and power are an important element of his attraction. He does not stand on ceremony with women and it is enough for him that they do what he needs. He perceives men either as rivals or as allies.
God Poseidon, his own kingdom is the seas and oceans. The creative element is his power, but often he feels like a "loser" and often loses to Zeus. It governs our emotions and creativity. A distinctive feature of Poseidon is a stormy temperament. It can be irritable, cruel and dangerous, like the elements of the sea with storms, storms and tsunamis. He also has a desire for power, but due to excessive emotionality, he loses such important character traits as impartiality, willpower, the ability to lose and strategic thinking. A man in whom this archetype predominates is directly related to instincts and feelings. If he is an extrovert, then he expresses these emotions. And if an introvert, then he keeps it in himself. The Poseidon man is satisfied with the work where you can apply the qualities given to him by nature: the ability to think creatively and express your emotions and feelings. He feels comfortable working with nature and human as well. He dominates over women due to his patriarchal mindset and increased emotionality; as a rule, he has a good relationship with business women building their career, they thereby complement it. Poseidon is often very good friend, loyal and devoted. In marriage, Poseidon splashes out his emotions of resentment or anger at his wife.
Archetype Hades- tsar underworld which even Zeus fears. He has the keys to true wealth- from the meaning of life. He guides our meanings, the unconscious. These are scientists, sages. If they can show up outer life, then the power will very soon be in their hands. He is the source of subjective knowledge, and when we are in doubt and cannot understand what we want, it is so important to turn to Hades within ourselves as a good adviser. A man in whom this archetype is strong is invisible in society, he does not have a clear external image, he lives an inner life. His biggest problem is adapting to the world. For successful implementation Hades needs to discover his interest in something and go beyond his archetype. Most often, he has very modest experience with women, or they reject him. With men, he is not close, because he does not feel part of the male society. Men who want to be his friends must accept his inner world for a long time, only then he can trust them. If he falls in love, he willingly enters into marriage and joins society through the family. only sensitive and receptive woman can understand Hades and help him open himself to the world.
Favorite Son of Zeus Apollo- Sun God! The most athletic, smart, beautiful, promising. He strives to achieve perfection in everything. The man that every girl wants to marry. Ideal Ratio mind and physical form. For him, reason, detachment and subjective intuitive solutions. He is very much in demand in the modern world due to his masculine qualities. Apollo values order and harmony in everything. This is the archetype - a brother and he feels great working in a team. He easily earns the trust of others and achieves success, despite his detachment from others. He is often attracted to jurisprudence and medicine. He is drawn to an independent and attractive woman, in their pair there is often a spirit of rivalry. With other men, Apollo gets along well and, as a rule, is surrounded by true friends. He feels good in a marriage where there is no excessive sensuality and intimacy, but rather business and friendly relations. Apollo for full life you need to learn humility, the ability to hear your desires, to release the "inner woman".
Hermes - messenger of the gods . A rogue, a swindler, a merchant and a diplomat. The most cheerful and flexible god. Hermes controversial nature, on the one hand, ingenuity, the ability to act quickly, the quickness of the mind, which he uses for creativity and for deception. He has an extremely sharp mind and excellent intuition, it is impossible to hold him like water in his hands. He is an adventurer, able to immediately understand the benefits of an idea or a person. With women, he is fickle, the so-called Don Juan. He gives in to passion and does not think about the responsibility, loyalty and feelings of a woman and mysteriously disappears from her life. Having many friends and acquaintances, Hermes is a loner in her soul. Most likely, he will remain a bachelor, or, having matured, he will find himself a quiet and calm woman who will not bother him with questions, but will take care of him. home and wait for your "traveler". It is hard for a Hermes-man to settle down, this is an “eternal youth”. He is incapable of emotional intimacy. He needs to learn solidity from Apollo, and look for his Aphrodite.
Ares is the god of war.
The unloved son of Zeus called him a fighter and criticized him in every possible way. The man who truly loves the brotherhood of men loves adventure, movement and strength. He is brave and merciless both to others and to himself. His outburst of emotions leads to physical actions. He lives by bodily sensations and is very sexy. But in a state of rage, he looks like a beast and is able to cause harm and problems to himself and others. He is energetic, active and very emotional. Ares is attracted to sensual and expressive women, with whom he can behave sincerely and spontaneously, expressing sympathy physically. He is attached to male friends and is always ready to come to their defense. Often this is a military brotherhood. Ares needs to learn self-control and keep a cool head in difficult and conflicting situations.
Hephaestus - god of the forge . He is ugly on the outside, but very handsome on the inside. He can do many wonderful things, but is often not recognized. He loves to craft, create something, create. Craftsman, inventor, recluse. He is brilliant and capable of long and painstaking work. This archetype makes a man not talk about his feelings and not think about them. An impressionable introvert, it is difficult for others to understand what is happening in his soul due to excessive modesty and secrecy. The typical professional environment of Hephaestus is the world of creativity. Women play an exceptional role in his life, they are a source of inspiration for him, control his well-being, help him adapt in society and present himself favorably. Hephaestus admires the beautiful, smart and strong women and not infrequently they subsequently have power over him. This is a monogamous and faithful partner, expecting the same qualities from his beloved. He is able to accumulate sexual energy and embody it in his work. Marriage is very important for this archetype, but due to its qualities of character, it is problematic at the same time. Hephaestus does not form superficial relationships with people, so he may have one or two true friend who have similar interests and do not encroach on his inner freedom and habits. The Hephaestus man most often suffers from depression, lack of fulfillment in the outside world, low self-esteem. He needs communication skills, an objective view of life and healthy ambitions.
Dionysus is the god of ecstasy and sensual pleasure.
He is able to feel the female nature as much as possible. This archetype is ambiguous, it has a huge positive and negative potential. In his soul there is a constant struggle of opposites - vitality and destruction, ecstasy and horror. The Dionysus man is overly charming and charming, sensitive and feminine, and does not fit into the "serious man" category. He does not strive for a career and among this archetype there are many unemployed people. He is attracted to mysticism and rituals, and if he reaches an extreme degree in spiritual terms, he can become a priest. Dionysus is always surrounded by women, they become his friends from childhood and a trusting and close relationship is established with them. But love relationship they are very difficult with him because of inconstancy and mood swings. And he does not find anything in common with men, he is of little interest in the spirit of rivalry. If he nevertheless strikes up a friendship, then each friend is especially valuable to him, he is sincerely interested in his affairs, thoughts and feelings. The manifestation of sexuality for him has great value. Marriage with such a man resembles a volcano and constant surprises. It is difficult to count on his loyalty and responsibility to the family, he himself is a "big child". Dionysus is very susceptible bad habits They help him relax and feel like himself. The Dionysus man needs to learn stability, grow up and find his Ariadne.
It will be very interesting to plunge into the world of men, into their strengths and weaknesses, in order to better understand them and support them in striving for the goal. In these archetypes, I found my colleagues, friends and beloved man. Wish you have a nice trip to the country of the Gods of the male world.
