This is where it all begins
Our journey back to ourselves, starts at our origin, represented by the two Source Archetypes – the beginning of all life. The Source Archetype represents the life energy that can be found within all of us, in all that exists, and the Destroyer Archetype represents the absence of life – the contrast we need to experience source energy and life.
They remind us of the dichotomy beneath all that exists, and how we can constantly choose between contributing to life and expansion – or stopping it.
These two cards are incredibly powerful – and so are your choices.
In any moment, you can choose between love or fear – expansion or destruction.
Can you become more aware of this choice in your day-to-day life? And choose life, love and expansion more often?
When you pull one of these cards, you know exactly what you’ve been choosing – so far, or what the right choice is in a certain situation. When the answer is no, represented by the Destroyer card, then that means what you intend to do or were asking about may cause more harm than good – even if it may seem like a positive thing from a human (limited) perspective.
The Source Archetypes
These are the first two cards of the deck – because without source energy, there is no life.
We all need life or source energy to live, to grow, to thrive. Yet, more often than not, we are blocking this energy by following unquestioned rules, expectations, traditions or routines.
These two cards can support us in making the right decisions for ourselves and our lives, and may help us discover where we are blocking ourselves, and with it, the flow of life.
Using Oracle Cards is a great way to explore our subconscious, and to get guidance on where we are and what our best options are in the moment when we draw a card. Drawing cards daily, can also help us to get to know ourselves a lot better and to come into alignment with our soul, and our true selves, as we begin to recognize our subconscious patterns.
Working with these Archetypes in particular, can help us to realize why we may be stuck in certain ways, because of what we believe to be true about ourselves or others, and as a next step, it can help us to direct and design our lives more consciously and gracefully.
Inviting one or more of the Archetype posters into your home can support you while you work on certain aspects of yourself, either by reminding you to strengthen and align with the qualities they represent or by reminding you to embrace and heal them so you can eventually overcome them, and the things that have been limiting you so far.
You have the power to create your world according to your own ideas, needs and wishes – with these descriptions of the different archetypes I share my thoughts about how I think we can live together peacefully, joyfully and lovingly, in the new golden age, or heaven on earth and how each of us can be fulfilled, loved and truly happy. 🧚♀️
All you have to do is find out if this resonates with you and get your poster, or book a discovery call with me, to start stepping into your full power and potential - for more joy, love, success and happiness.
Source Archetype
There is something that we all have in common – every person, everything that is alive: and that is the energy, life energy, source energy, the light, the spark, the breath, which allows us to exist, grow, heal, expand.
In the Wheel of Colours, this is represented by the colour green and the fourth field of the wheel.
Green is also the colour of our heart chakra, it’s what we see in leaves, in grass, it’s the energy that represents life.
You may also call it god energy. But however you may personally call it, you know what I’m talking about.
This card, card #1 is our source. It represents what brought us life, keeps us alive and supports us in our growth and expansion and in our healing.
It will even continue after our death, just in another form, the same way our eternal soul will continue to exist and grow and expand.
Destroyer Archetype
What is the opposite of expansion? Contraction.
In every moment, we have the opportunity to decide to follow our internal guidance and act out of love and for the highest good of all – or not.
If we don’t, when we decide to please others, to follow rules without knowing why, when we consciously or unconsciously act to harm ourselves or others, then we block the flow of life, limit possibilities, invite imbalance, negative karma, possible trauma, confusion and more work in the future.
This is what we do in density. Often. Just think about your day and how often you go against what you know would be the best thing to do.
The decision of going against our better judgement, of forcing ourselves to do something, deciding out of fear not love, remaining in struggle and pain, is what this card represents.
It’s card #2 – though technically, it is nothing. The opposite of life energy is not-life, no energy, it doesn’t exist.
I think it’s important to recognize that when we decide against ourselves, we decide against all life and creation, and this is what this card can bring to our awareness.
Working with the Source Archetypes
The two Source Archetypes are our foundation, they represent our freedom to choose.
You can use these two cards separately, if you have a yes or no question.
If you pull card #1 the answer is clearly yes, if you pull card #2 the answer is no.
Card #1 means you, your project, or someone or something else, depending on the question you asked, is on track, is making the right decision, moving in the right direction, allowing yourself or themselves to expand and be free.
If you’re pulling card #2, you, or someone else, is blocking the flow of life with your/their thoughts, words or actions and/or is distracting or avoiding the important things to be done or steps to be taken.
Working with these two can help you to strengthen your intuition, as they can give you confirmation of what you are feeling, if you’re not so sure how much you can trust yourself – yet.
I used them just this morning as I woke up with a gut feeling, but feared that acting on it would hurt the feelings of someone who made me a very kind and generous offer.
So I got the cards out, and I asked them three times the same question (because I wanted to be very sure) and each time got the same answer, to follow my gut feeling.
These things can be scary and difficult, especially when we think that our choices might upset others, which is why it’s so great to get some assistance from these cards – as they help us act for the highest good of all.
Because we have to make decisions all the time.
And not acting is a choice, a decision as well, albeit a passive one.
If we begin, however, to take full responsibility for our lives, and choose consciously, we also begin to have the opportunity to direct our lives in the direction we would LOVE to see it go.
If we don’t decide, decisions will be made for us. And whatever we decide to do or not do will affect everything else that comes after. Yet, our mind cannot always grasp all the possibilities and make the best choice for us, not for the foreseeable future, and surely not for forever and all.
Our highest self and inner knowing, however, can make exactly that perfect choice.
And the cards, translating our highest self and inner knowing, will let us know what the best choice will be when we are not sure ourselves.
Apart from the fact that it’s difficult to oversee all effects and consequence, we are often also entangled in emotional bonds and responsibilities, and giving someone their way, for example, might seem generous and loving to us at that moment, but if it goes against what’s best on the long term and for the highest good of all, it can also cause more harm than good or joy – for both parties.
So, the two Source Archetypes represent the two answers to every question we have, and every decision we make, in every single moment. They represent the answers, to the one most important question of our lives, which underlies each question and decision, no matter which form they come in.
This question is part of everything, every move, every turn, every word, though we are seldom aware of it.
Unless – we slow down enough to bring it to our awareness and begin to choose consciously.
The two Source Cards are your invitation to become more conscious and aware of the impact of your thoughts, words and actions and can help you to walk with confidence.
This, the most important question, which we each have to answer in every moment, is: “Is my next move for my highest good (Energy Archetype) or not (Destroyer Archetype)?”
If we were to ask ourselves this question more often, it would not only bring much more clarity to any situation, and make our decisions so much easier, it would also drastically improve all of our lives.
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 source archetypes in the Purpose Chapter.
Learn how to discover and live your life’s purpose, your personal vision, and your unique calling(s)
and how to trust your inner guidance to find certainty, inspiration and belonging.
In this chapter of the CREATRIX School (or 4-week course) we learn how we can follow our soul’s calling (and how to get in touch with it) to live a happy, meaningful and successful life – according to our original and unique blueprint or the choices our highest self made for us, before we were born. Which might be much more spectacular than you think right now.
