Archetypes are universal and manifest in many different pantheons and systems. They allow us insight
into our own nature and allow us distance. They express both paths that behavior may take; showing us
the positives and negatives that come with all actions and emotions. Archetypes can help us see into our
actions and know ourselves better. They can help us identify our strengths and develop them. They aid
rediscovering areas we have denied within ourselves. They do not excuse our actions but give us insight
into our patterns.
