Magician Lover King Warrior Test

[Denisha Padley]

Mostimportant thing is that we are at all times incarnating an archetype or its shadow side. In every situation. So if you don't like how you behaved, you can think about what kind of energy you were representing. Were you too aggressive, so maybe The Sadist, the shadow side of the Warrior? How would a noble king have behaved? (Very interesting the idea of the king, that is actually in service of its people. Much like in LOTR)

I read a lot of books about archetypes and his book is the best on the subject. He also has some books on the specific archetypes. For example one of his book specifically focuses on the magician archetype. Unfortunately those book are out of press and you can only find low quality pdfs. There are some rare copies on the internet but it is like 150-250 for a second hand copy.

But updated for our current 21st century with less jargon. In our current times the Magician and Lover archetypes are more embraced and the King (Sovereign) archetype is the least one compared that to original Robert Moore's work where he says the lover archetype is the least embraced one

I consider some of SC subs as programs introducing classical masculine archetypes. Each of those programs has some objectives which are in synergy with those archetypes but there are eight programs, in my view, which are laser-focused on those classical archetypes manifestations. So:

Khan/Emperor = King

Spartan/Ascended = Warrior

Primal/Libertine = Lover

Alchemist/Quantum Limitless = Magician

You would have to work it out by yourself, also it would be good if you knew your dominant archetype and towards which one you would like to develop. The apex is King. I would say Emperor and Mogul are more towards King.

You have to think which archetypes you would like to work on right now but it seems to me for now it would be more about working on King and Warrior so Emperor is an ideal sub. Later on you could think about improving Lover and Magician a bit. So Primal Seduction and QL/Stark/Alchemist.

These are originally archetypes of psychological masculine development, the have immature and shadow versions. The culmination of the capacity to engage in the mature versions of the lover, magician, and warrior is what gives access to the king

As far as the major subs titles go they definitely seem to have archtypes. As well as push in different temperaments. I believe running subs opposite your natural temperament will create the greatest growth. But the quickest success will come with subs that support your natural archetype or strength.

Carl Jung believed that the Ego or the Self was held together by four key archetypes, the Warrior, Lover, King/Queen and Magician archetypes. By understanding his revolutionary theory, you might grow to understand why you are torn between such contrasting, and different forces. And why it is so difficult to make decisions. But what are the archetypes?

Because of his focus on the study of the Self and the ego, and the process of Individuation, Jung focused a lot of time on four key archetypes. The Warrior, The Lover, The King/Queen and The Magician. He believed these were of central importance to understand the self. But what do these images represent?

In my own interpretation, I have come to understand these four images as representative of four core needs that exist in each and every individual. The Lover represents our own desire for belonging and connection. The King or Queen represents our need for safety and security and order. The Warrior represents our need to feel useful and capable, and finally, the Magician represents our own desire for self-transformation and growth.

When the King or Queen is in charge in your psyche, you tend to show the characteristics of someone highly industrious, hard-working, serious, and dependable. Such a person is prepared to do what is necessary and to show self control and judgement, pushing themselves to do what is necessary to survive and protect the self from dangers and risk. When this archetype is in charge, we can be perfectionistic and critical, but we may also show higher overall decisiveness and forcefulness. We can at worst become authoritarians, both of ourselves and others. When healthy, the king or queen provides solid judgement and feedback, without holding other parts of the self back from self expression, and simply guiding them in a positive direction.

When the Lover is in charge, we become concerned with the prospect of belonging, and experiencing connection. Such a person may be described as responsible, like the king or queen, but more modest and easygoing, choosing to go with their impulses and instincts, and protecting and showing empathy to the needs and feelings of those they care about most. When this archetype is in charge, we put our relationships above all else, and care more about our connections and social safety and fitting in. More positively, such a person can be highly empathetic and compassionate.

When the Magician is in charge, we become concerned with bringing our own creative impulses to life. Such a person is constantly preoccupied with the future, what can be, what is possible, but lacks a solid connection to the past, and the judgement of the king or queen archetype. Such a person then, can be impulsive, and prone to risk taking, and can show a careless lack of responsibility. On the other hand, such a type is also known for incredible creativity and for the thrill and excitement of experiencing something new or facing the unknown.

Finally, when the Warrior is in charge, our focus tends to be on the self and our own needs and our own values. We will put ourselves forward assertively and confidently, doing what we find best, without a concern for other people and others feelings. This is the archetype of the individualist, who seeks to walk their own path in life, but lacks the modesty to question themselves and to show empathy for other people. More positively, this part represents the side of you that wants to realize the self. It also represents being present and being in the moment. Paying attention to yourself, your feelings, and thought, and expressing and speaking with your own voice.

When a person is Disciplined, as is the case for the Industrious, Assertive subtype. Such a person channels their personality into more serious activities, focusing on their own security, and on providing themselves with their core needs. I see these qualities in the King or Queen archetype.

When a person is Creative, like a person with high Playfulness and high Modesty would be, they would show characteristics like The Magician archetype does. They would be concerned with the future, and fun possibilities, what could be, and they would frequently change their mind and reconsider a situation, or they would be focused on learning new things, preferably for recreational purposes. Such a person would show little Perfectionism.

When a person is Passionate, they would show high empathy and compassion for other people, like the Lover does. Such a person would be focused on the emotions and needs of others, and might show higher levels of neuroticism, stress and worry. This kind of a person is focused on being of service and contributing to the group, helping them achieve belonging and connection to other people. When the Lover subtype is in its ideal state, we experience Wonder and Awe and Empathy.

Finally, when a person is in Flow, they would show the qualities of a warrior. Such a person is more Playful and Assertive. They go with their heart and what they want above all and will stand confidently for what they want even if other people disagree with them. When this archetype is at its best, we experience the state of optimal experience, the state of Flow. The warrior is relaxed and carefree, empowered, and strong, like a Lion resting on a savanna.

Led by Jungian pioneer, blogger, and YouTuber Erik Thor, my website offers a fresh and flexible take on personality types.

My most popular pages include my personality test, cognitive function test, and articles on the 16 personalities, cognitive functions, and subtypes. These resources are designed to provide you with valuable insights into your personality type and help you make positive changes in your life.

If we combine the 4 Jungian archetypes with the personifications of the tetramorph, can we make a case for Christ as the perfect fulfilment of all that Freud, Jung, Campbell, Moore, and Gilette are looking for? In a society of disordered archetypes, and psychoses of imbalance, can we psycho-analyse Christ in a Jungian framework and find the perfect man? I contend that we can. And that the answer to all our psychoses can be found by spending time in the gospels.

The archetype of the King describes the way in which a person manifests ordering and blessing. To order, the king defines his kingdom boundaries, and codifies the laws within it. He builds the cultural, and faithfully lives by it in his own life. To bless, the King affirms his subjects by seeing them and praising them. He holds on audience with his subjects to listen and to provide for their needs.

In our stories we might look to characters like Mufasa in the Lion King as he shows the cub Simba where the boundary of their kingdom of light lies. In the Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Ceasar write down what is ape and what is not. In the Lord of the Rings, Aragorn returns as king so that his subjects may prosper under the blessing of his wisdom.

In our own lives we manifest this archetype when we order our homes, or when we do something as simple as setting a goal and achieving it. When we exhort a friend, or praise a protg under our mentoring.

When a king descends into his shadow form, he manifests either the tyrant or the weakling. Even when the active shadow is violent and the passive shadow is cowering, both are driven by the same fear. The tyrant uses his power to dominate, and is irrational, paranoid and abusive. The weakling locks himself in his castle and hides from his responsibilities. He is his own priority. In cinema we might remember the Denethor from Lord of the Rings as he hides in his tower while sending his son to his death in battle. Or the weakling king Theodin as he becomes poisoned by his advisor wormtongue.
