A totally captivating post! The archetypes are beyond intriguing. Thank you for sharing yours, Janisse, and the experience with Captolia's courses. I am disappointed there are no courses offered currently, as I am sure I would dive in.
Here are the results from her archetype quiz I took: 43% Sage, 43% Explorer, and 14% Magician. What is even more interesting is that they feel like they fit just right.
After more than 40 years of working with Tarot archetypes and the Hero/Heroine's journey, I see a smattering of myself in most of the traditional archetypes. The ones I'd like to lean into aren't necessarily the ones I mostly embody, however. For example, I'd like to see myself as Sage/Empress/The Magician, but I'm afraid I can be The Hierophant and The Outlaw. Happy Thanksgiving!
I enjoyed this exercise. The Nurturer 67%, the Creator 17%, the Outlaw 17%.
It feels fairly solid to me. I do prefer the word Nurturer to Caregiver since giving Care to others has at times been a toxic trait in my life. I have had to do a lot of work on learning to heal this behavior and to respect appropriate boundaries.
I've never really thought about archetypes other than when one of my daughters had to create one for an elementary school project. I must admit, even then I wasn't sure what an archetype was. Your post laid it out so well. Now I get it! According to the test on Captolia's website I'm 57% nurturer, 29% innocent, and 14% jester. Sounds about right to me.
Very interesting post. I've thought about archetypes in literature, but I had not thought to peg myself into a certain type. Outlaw 40%, Magician 40% Nurturer 20%, I like being a Magician with words and in shaping my quiet world. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving.
Well, I think caregiver is one that describes you. Just look at the photo of you and the horse. What about all of your animals? the white dog? the trees and plants? your passion for saving all wild places? the little church you fundraise for?
Thank you for this post. I was surprised to learn my archetypes are 50% outlaw, 30% innocent and creator. And there are good outlaws which I attribute to my activism to do good. But I need to kick up the creator because the outlaw is overwhelming at times.
Thanks for sharing. I’m not big on online quizzes, and don’t really know how to answer some of them but I feel it hit spot on. 40% sage, 40% explorer, 20% ruler. I appreciate some insight into myself and feel I can use this in my work.
Dang, Janisse, total surprise? My primary archetypes are the Outlaw and the Sage. Followed by the Creator. TBF, there is a LOT of DGAF in my personality, but I've managed to hide the depth of my rebellion even from myself... That's a lot to think about there...

40% outlaw
40% jester
20% nuturer
60% sage, 20% nurturer and 20% outlaw
Magician - forgot the number, but it was my top one.
Hero - 29%
Sage - 29%
I loved this; it's very accurate for me!

Great reminder. Perhaps I should go back in & change "caregiver" to "nurturer." It's def a nicer word.

I find I am The Nurturer, The Friend/Everywitch, The Sage. Now to puzzle out what that means for me! 🤔🤔
Janisse, It’s been a while since I visit the archetype question. And it’s so great to see that magician is a category here. 🙌🏼

Ha! Yes, I love the outlaw. I've always been one & hope to always be.
Great stuff! Certainly true about electing the outlaw! I'm in agony over how to even relate to family and friends who may be there...

To be honest, your archetypes add up to be a very interesting & powerful combination. Fascinating!

OMG, I can see it, K. You are the total sage. And outlaw! Yes.
Thank you. Taking quiz now.
