Female archetypes are powerful universal symbols that renowned psychoanalyst Carl Jung believed formed a part of the "collective feminine unconscious."
These 7 character types embody the ideas, values, attributes and fears that have come to symbolize the universal feminine experience. Understanding them is a powerful way to understand yourself and others.
The Innocent
Innocent women draw people to them because they are deeply authentic; their motivations are pure and unselfish. They view life through eyes of child-like wonder. For the innocent, the glass is always half full.
The caregiver woman can be found cooking for her friends, listening to their troubles, and giving advice. She's known for being kind, compassionate and giving.
The mystic woman carries the energy of an "old soul." She's introspective, intuitive and believes deeply that life is more than it appears.
The Huntress
The huntress woman pursues her goals with laser focus. She's a woman on a mission, and no one is going to stop her. Think freedom, success and dominance, and you'll get a feeling for the energy the huntress embodies.
