Feminine Archetype#1: The Nuturing Mother

Hello!

I will be discussing *briefly* of the feminine archetypes found in history over and over all throughout history. What first got me interested in archetypes? While I may not be exactly sure, I have two or three huge reasons on how I got started; one was from a blog that I've joined a blog  few months ago called "The Proper Lady", ( and I recommend all young women/girls to read this blog.) and one of my favorite artists Marina and the Diamonds album "Electra Heart" and some of the works of Carl Jung; from this did I gather my information on feminine archetypes, mixed with some of my philosophical beliefs of course. After doing research and pondering on countless combinations I have come up with thirteen.

First up, The Nuturing Mother.

 The Mother archetype plays a highly significant role in society, whether she be a biological mother or not. In each and every women, there is nuturing, protective and caring side; the equivalent of the Father archetype.

Although, the father is protective and strong as the mother, the Mother has a special bond between her family, friends and children that some Fathers may not have; a nuturing soul. The Mother always knows and says the right things. Her words are to be soothing and healing to the wounds, to be soft. She is wise, she only speaks honesty and kindness towards others; thought she may be truthful, she is never to be harsh.

"The Mother aspect  acknowledges and empowers through nurturing, preserving, taking care by providing safety and security. Great Mother’s transcendent function in the Mystery is the fruit of union." -LightWorkers.org

NEGATIVE 

The shadow aspect of the the Mother is the  cruel and devouring mother.

She is the complete oppisite side to the Nuturing mother, who brings hope and is gentle towards loved ones, the devouring mother does not uplift, she does not inspire, she does not encourage others: she only tears people down and she gains pleasure from it, even if it’s her own blood.

Archetype Colors: Burgundy, White and blue.

Goddess Archetype: Hestia, Demeter, Gaia, Shakti.
