Jung and the power of archetypes
Jung, the great explorer of the human psyche, identified twelve archetypes. Each represents a distinct personality pattern, with its own motivations and strengths. Let’s step into the realm of graphic facilitation, where every stroke of the pen can awaken powerful ideas.
Today, the Magician, one of the most intriguing archetypes, will be our guide on this creative journey.
The power of archetypes in visual facilitation
Drawings as superheroes
Close your eyes.
Imagine your drawings as superheroes that transcend language barriers and captivate the minds of the teams you work with. Archetypes are the pillars of these visual heroes. By exploring them as the magician you are, you unlock an infinite toolbox that allows you to create images that resonate deeply with your audience.
The essence of archetypes
An archetype is a universal, primitive symbol that belongs to the collective unconscious.
These timeless patterns transcend cultures and eras.
When the magician within you weaves them into your drawings, you tap into an ancient force that speaks directly to the shared human experience.
This instantly forges a connection with your audience.
Your visuals become catalysts for inspiration and understanding.
Whether you’re telling a story, explaining a complex concept, or guiding a brainstorming session, archetypes add psychological depth to your creations.
They breathe life into symbols that speak directly to the collective unconscious of the teams you facilitate.
The Magician
Keeper of hidden knowledge
The Magician is filled with ancient and secret wisdom.
Heir to the druids, desert sages, and shamans, he is forever in search of knowledge.
His gift lies in knowing what others do not.
He understands the movements of the stars, the phases of the moon, the plants that heal and those that harm.
He knows when to sow and when to harvest.
He perceives the invisible connections between the world of spirits, that of humans, and that of nature.
The word and the mind
Linked to the power of words and the electric energy of thought, the Magician lives for and through knowledge.
He needs it to fulfill his purpose.
Initiated into hidden mysteries, he immerses himself fully in his domain.
Solitude doesn’t frighten him as he can spend days alone studying.
Anything that deepens his understanding is welcome.
He travels the world, learns new languages, seeks missing pieces of wisdom, and meets other magicians along the way.
Navigating Between Worlds
The Magician’s mastery lies in his ability to move between worlds.
He explores both shadow and light, maintaining balance between the two.
He helps others uncover their conscious and unconscious motivations, guiding them through the darkness of illusion toward the luminous core within.
