Out of all of the wisdom traditions which influence our trainings here at Reclaim your Inner Throne, the tradition of archetypal psychology, pioneered by CG Jung (who called it analytical psychology) is the one which has influenced us the most.

The particular map we use here comes from the neo-jungian psychologist Robert Moore. 

Together with Douglas Gillette, he has taken CG Jung’s work and formalized it in the most cohesive and accessible system of archetypes that we know – the King/Queen, Warrior, Magician, Lover system.

Inspired by Jung and Moore, we hold that these archetypes are the fundamental building blocks of the deep psyche – structures of the deep psyche that are shared by all human beings.

While it is important for us all to develop a mature relationship to these four archetypes, depending on our unique psychological makeup and personality profile, we will tend to gravitate to some archetypal patterns more than others when we gather in groups/tomorrow’s tribe.

So getting familiar with the way the archetypal building blocks are mediated through our more surface personality and psychology is at the root of this work.
