Goddess
The Goddess is the archetype that provides transcendent healing, a re-connecting with source, and nurturing of divine essence. Here is a mystery, an incalculable delving into the void -out of which all things come. The Goddess is the dynamic, flowing energy of creation and evolution. She is the primordial first cause, originator, progenitor -Creatrix. Her wisdom is unfathomable, intuitive, untraceable and ever-evolving. Representing the mystery of the unknown and unknowable she ignites Eros, inspiration and vital force that seeks new experience, new associations, new possibilities, new relationships out of stagnation and old, non-serving technology and processes.

The Goddess connects one to a constantly shifting transcendent flow of possibility and newness. She inspires one’s soul to new heights of expression and connection with life in its magnitude and fullness.

The Goddess archetype is the transcendent, connected-to-all-that-is, aspect of self. “SHE” resonates transpersonal, harmonious love for everyone and all beings. The Goddess archetype is the domain of spirituality, mystical experience and intuition.

Expressing this archetype in its fullness feels like this:
You are with a woman who emanates dynamic energy, flowing, ever changing with boundless intuitive wisdom and creative energy. Her presence is inspiring and causes one to feel renewed with erotic energy -enlivening, stimulating, revitalized. Her demeanor is spiritually balanced and emanates love to all in her sphere of life without distinction or prejudice.

She is a leader who is gracious and welcoming by being a shining example of the higher possibility for love and compassion. While she is the originator of ideas and solutions she seeks collaboration and consensus in their outworking and manifestation.

The woman in the state of fullness of the Goddess shows up as compassionate, welcoming, creative, non-judgmental, open, heart-centered, spiritually focused, supportive, inspirational, erotic, loving.

Queen (Mother)
Perhaps the strongest archetype -and most over-whelmed with expectation and duty- is the Queen and/or Mother. It is she who is the authority and stewardess of the “living space” and primary care-giver of progeny.

To give birth is the most profound accomplishment one may experience, life giving life, nurturing and guiding this life into self-sufficiency and fullness of physical/mental/spiritual being. The most significant relationship one has is with the mother of one’s birth. No other bond is as close as this in connection, attachment, and enmeshment.

It is the Queen who brings order and blessing, benevolence and fertility, strength and balance, compassion and unconditional love. While the Goddess archetype is the Creatrix -inspiring vision and imagination, the Queen births the idea/vision/inspiration and actively looks to its growth and manifestation into existence —being the steward of these.

The Queen archetype is the domain of material manifestation, family, “kingdom” (your sphere of life influence including your relationship to individuals and physical locations: home, neighborhood, community, city, state, country, world), also material wealth and abundance.

Expressing the fullness of the Queen archetype feels like this:
She is concerned with the well-being and happiness of her “household.” She is a nurturing, stabilizing and calming influence in all circumstances that supports the highest possibility and fulfillment of those in her “household.”

Her demeanor is “seasoned” and carries wisdom with it, not adolescent, fickle, impulsiveness. Her wisdom carries a transpersonal selflessness. She is benevolent, evenhanded, calm, strong, caring, present, passionate.

Priestess
The Priestess archetype is possibly the least known and understood, especially in the present patriarchal culture which dominates and subjugates women‘s spirituality. The Priestess archetype is the domain of intuitive awareness and insight, of secret “occult” (that which is hidden) knowledge of the unknown realm.

The Priestess has a magical connection to the unknown, the void of creation, source energy. She is the trans-connector, the facilitator, between the material and the spiritual, the mediator of powerful energies that make up the being that we are. The Priestess calls forth, transmutes and directs energies between unconscious and conscious awareness, affecting our material and spiritual felt sense of being.

A woman in the fullness of the Priestess archetype feels like this:
She is the master of her spiritual and material realities showing a confidence of bearing that knows how to call forth from spiritual storehouses what is needed to transmute, transduce, transform energies that would overtake or topple other women not in this fullness.

She is thoughtful, reflective, having depth to her presence and intellect. She knows how to detach from inner and outer storms and how to connect deep inner truths and resources with her experience of life. She sees a higher possibility and attunes to its resonance. She is not easily pushed or pulled around by faddish influences but brings power and confidence to difficult situations requiring change or shifting -with grace and insight.

The woman in the fullness of the Priestess archetype is transpersonally engaging with others, serving their need for love and acceptance and spiritual grounding through her presence and expression/interaction. She serves expansive consciousness, a higher possibility and the greater good with humility and grace, not from Egoic desire for prominence or position.

Warrioress
The Warrioress archetype is the least represented and understood archetype for women —being misapplied and distorted due to the dominant patriarchal society. A healthy expression of warrioress is met with condemnation, judgment, and belittling by male contraction and immature reaction.

Warrioress qualities are: decisiveness and clarity of thought, selfless service, genuine humility, strength of experiential “knowing,” courage to do what is “right” even when it is a personal challenge to do so, maintaining and supporting established systems and forms without rigidity, loyal to a greater good beyond personal gain.

She is detached while under challenge maintaining a warm and compassionate, appreciative and generous connection to whom she serves. She fights “the good fight” in favor of benefiting the greater good and making life more fulfilling for everyone.

A Warrioress in her fullness feels like this:
Her strength of stature is evident and unheralded. She contributes without fanfare or directing—or requiring attention. She promptly responds to requests of service showing respect to all, especially to those “elder” to her, as well as other men, women, and children, animals and the earth.

She “knows herself” and finds “her place” in collaborative projects, finding fulfillment and contentment in collaboration without ambition and competition. The woman in the fullness of the Warrioress makes you feel “safe” while not being oppressed by her protection. She is decisive and quick to respond while also being in control of her Ego.

Lover
The Divine Feminine Lover archetype is perhaps the most dualistic and distorted by modern society. There is a “Madonna/Whore” dialectic associated with feminine expression of Eros Love. She is either idealized and set beyond the reach of men in worshipful ignorance or is debased and exploited as wanton in her lust and salaciousness. And yet, the fullness of the Divine Feminine Lover archetype can encompass and surmount both of these immature distinctions.

The Lover archetype has been contorted into a selfish and dense expression that lacks breadth or spirit. Yet the Lover is the meeting and combining of sex and spirit, Eros, the universal urge to bond and unite. More so than the male gender, Woman naturally, organically, comprises the alchemy that infuses spirit into flesh with desire—prompting sensual engagement and erotic expression. While most commonly expressed in romantic and sexual form, the Lover archetype also contains a much fuller, divine, expression.

The Lover archetype in its fullness is the primal energy of passion, exquisite engagement with life and ecstatic being: an alive and vivid world view. The domain of the Lover archetype is the primal urges of being: sex, food, well-being, procreation and is manifested in creative adaptation and initiatory experience.

The Lover is the epitome of Sensual. She exudes sensuality in her mood, look, walk, bearing, and engagement. She is intimately interested in all forms of sensory contact, experiencing the world in all its splendor. She is the archetype of play and healthy erotic embodiment without shame.

The fullness of the Lover archetype feels like this:
She is sensual. She is open and invites you to touch -her body and soul. She relishes connection with others, specifically the connecting aspect (of all types) -beyond Ego’s fulfillment needs. She appreciates beauty in all its forms, seeing and feeling beauty in herself, realizing her intrinsic connection and possession of such. She is “in her body” -animating it with vital energy through dance, yoga, and movement. She brings, eros and sensuality and a “joy of life” to any engagement or conversation.
