I am sure many mothers may identify with this archetype, even if it is not in your top 12 archetypes. The mother archetype represents the nurturing and loving energy. This archetype exudes very comforting energy. The mother archetype also has a lot of wisdom. You don’t have to be a mother in order to exude the energy of this archetype. I recall having a group of college friends and we called one friend mama because she exuded motherly energy. We were very young, still teenagers at the time. There is a gentleness to this energy. The shadow aspect of the mother archetype has to be mindful of smothering their children or loved ones. Our children are not always meant to be rescued, we have to learn when to step in and when to allow them to stand firm and find their own way. That is how resilience is developed. Also, the mother archetype has to be careful in creating codependent relationships with their children and allow them the space to spread their wings and fly. Another aspect is when the mother does the opposite and abandons the child whether it is physically, emotionally, or both. The key is learning to balance your own internal landscape so that you influence safety, balance, unconditional love, empathy, resilience, and insight. #archetypes #archetypetarot #sacredcontracts #mother #motherarchetype #carolinemyss #tarot #tarotcards #loveinfinitenature #archetype #archtypalpsychology #sacredcontract #shadow #shadowwork #tarotcommunity #tarotonline #tarotcard https://www.instagram.com/p/CGkk3jgp6dG/?igshid=q119ovkmunty
