The Directional Archetypes
On a larger scale, we find ourselves at a turning point in the history of our planet, and that means we have an opportunity to radically re-think how we wish to structure our societies.
Not everybody is ready to take the lead and help to actively create a new earth, but some of us are, and so it helps to get clear on the role(s) we want to take on in this process – to prepare to step into them.
But the directional archetypes don’t only help on this large scale, they can also support us in everyday situations when we need to decide the direction of our personal lives, or companies, and when we need to envision, invest in, rethink or reengineer them.
When you pull one of these cards, you know that looking at your situation as a — will help you find the solution and will allow you to take the next steps.
Sage Archetype
And we also need the sage.
The person who’s read all the books, knows the historical contexts, and the other initiatives in similar fields that exist and have succeeded and failed.
Their wisdom, if valued and heard, will help to go deep and create well-thought-through and lasting campaigns and change.
Priest_ess Archetype
This is my favourite part. The ceremony.
Of course, a priest_ess can also be there for support, to listen to people when they go through personal difficulties, have moral questions and so on.
But a priest_ess can also help to bring the group together, by creating rituals and a community feeling, and reminding people that we also need to meet with our souls, and bring in song and love and prayer and the supernatural to make any project work.
Visionary Archetype
Every Project, every community, needs one or more visionaries, who see(s) a problem and offer(s) a solution.
They might themselves be active in the community, but communities can also form without them, simply by picking up their ideas and working with their visions or ideas.
Leader Archetype
And then we also need people who can lead and be the head of the subgroups. Who is leading the Social Media team? Who coordinates the finances? Who is willing to take on responsibility for more than themselves?
In smaller communities and projects, this might not be necessary, but once there are work groups and different subsections, it can help to have someone who reports back to the other groups.
Of course, this can also be organized in shifts, but it doesn’t matter, if there’s a new leader or moderator for every meeting or if people lead for a longer period of time to recognize this archetype – and you know that there are some who do this effortlessly while there are others who find it harder. Everything is valid and needed.
Entrepreneur Archetype
The role of the entrepreneur might be taken by the people who do outreach, who know how to sell the cause and talk to the press, who get new people involved, who look for sponsors and see how they can keep the whole thing going in practical ways to keep the cause moving forward and to create results.
In small groups or communities, these roles might not be further defined, but in larger they can be – we’ll see some of those more defined roles below.
CEO Archetype
Depending on the size of the project or community, there can be one person or more people who are in charge, who coordinate everything that is going on and make sure that people are doing what they are supposed to be doing.
They know which subgroups exist, how they work together, and keep an overview of everything that is going on. This can be the same person or people as the visionary/s, but it could also be other people or someone else.
Investor Archetype
Description is coming soon.
Judge Archetype
Then there’s the judge, and as we know, this does not have to be a special person, we can also judge ourselves very well.
But when it comes to projects or communities, it helps if somebody takes on the job to see if what is being done is really effective and meets the goals that were set or not.
And of course, it also helps if there is a person who can settle conflicts between different people, interests or groups.
Engineer Archetype
Depending on the cause or project, it can be super useful to have somebody on board who can do the technical thinking and work on singular, but necessary events or elements.
Maybe it will be to set up an event and have all of it live-streamed, or the project needs to set up their own printing press or wants to create a podcast and needs a podcasting studio or just a website – the engineer will help to get the technical equipment going to support the project.
It’s really awesome that you are here – and surely not a coincidence.
If you like to dive deeper into getting to know your true self, consider ordering your unique Wheel of Colours, so you can remember the colours of your life and start integrating them, to gain more personal freedom, happiness and, if you like, even enlightenment.
Or join the CREATRIX School to continue working with these archetypes.
We work with the directional archetypes in the Community Chapter.
Learn how we can begin to build stronger communities & start creating the world we want to live in
In this chapter of the CREATRIX School (or 4-week course) we learn how we can build strong communities, what our unique roles can be in these strong communities, what our gifts are that we came to share with others and how we can best combine our powers and energies to create the changes we want to see in our world (and not get triggered or distracted by personal issues).
Basically, this course can show you all you need to know to lead groups, clubs, communities, organisations or teams successfully, and wisely, for the highest good of all.
