The Witch | 12 Jungian Archetypes Self-Portrait Series
The 12 Archetypes of personality, chosen by Carl Jung, are the foundations for characters in movies, literature, art, and the life where we live and breathe. They represent behavior patterns, cultural symbols, and images of the collective unconscious. In this series, I am exploring all 12 of the archetypes through self-portraits and embodying each as I understand them within myself. I think the more time we spend with ourselves, the more we realize how multi-dimensional we are. This has been an incredible experiment for me as I have come to understand which archetypes I align with the most and which were difficult for me to “become”. Along with the portraits, I have included a playlist that represents each personality. I hope you enjoy this playful exploration!
The Witch, or the Magician is constantly growing and changing. They do this for themselves but also for others. They are a healer through the information that they synthesize within themselves. They are deeply intuitive and can tend to be negative if they become too absorbed in their regeneration.
I personally resonate with the Witch very strongly because I spend a lot of my time working on changing and improving my mental and physical health in order to show up in the world as the best version of myself. I ultimately hope that through the work I do on myself, I will be able to help others heal as well. If we can all show up as our best selves, imagine the incredible things we can accomplish together.
