what's your character archetype?
Human beings are much more complex than characters, that’s for sure. But wondering - and discovering - about what’s your archetype, while not the whole picture, can give you one of the pieces of the puzzle to know yourself better and witch more awareness.
The major arcana especially are, in my eyes, very archetipal characters coded: we have the mentor (the hermit), the fool, the final boss (the jusgment) and so on, but which one is yours?
Let’s find out!
For the archetype, all the cards will be read upright, as representation of the archetype itself. For the other two questions, we're back taking reverses.
We will use the major arcanas for the archetype and the minor arcana for the follow-up questions.
We will also use divination dices: they are dices with letters on them, used to create words. I will find for up to five words for each pile and I will leave as little commentary as possible for the words to reach you straight and directly.
pile 1 - yellow tea
your character archetype
The temperance → I described this card as "she's like an eternally young woman who just stepped out of a folk tale" and seeing this card I had the same idea. I thought of characters like Galadriel, ethereal and graceful, but at the same time very powerful. Those types of characters that don't necessarily look like the amount of power they have. Now, it does not mean you need to be graceful and delicate - especially because we don't want to fall into racist or mysoginistics stereotypes - but it means that you are much wiser than what you look like and there's a depth in your mind, heart and soul that is not always noticeable when looking at you.
ok but why?
pile 2 - hearts mug
your character archetype
The hermit → The hermit is the wise mentor, the one who lives secluded from society and who not only is already pretty wise and knowledgeable, but who also knows there's plenty more to learn. The hermit may have decided to seclude themselves from society after a trauma, who left them looking for answers, or simply to focus on themselves - the main meaning of this card is to search inside you for the light. You're not afraid of the night, because you're not a young hero at their first experience, but someone who already went though shit and knows both how to get through it and that it's useless to pretend that issues don't exists because it would just stop you from searching how to solve them.
ok but why?
pile 3 - dark tea
your character archetype
The chariot → while in writing setting this card can represent also the physical and internal travel of our main character (you), so the main part of a character arc, I wrote it as an internal journey that then becomes a concrete one, but one in which now you know who you are, looking at this card there's also a clear energy of a warrior character. A war leader - the chariot makes me think ex. of roman emperors - or generally someone who is very well versed in fighting, in your case probably not physically in battles, but mentally and in your daily life. You have your goals clear in mind and you honestly are an archetype that can be seen as both good - someone strong, who knows what they're fighting for - or in a negative light - as someone too focused on a goal. At the end of the day, though, you're the only one who is allowed to judge yourself, so don't listen to people's free critics.
ok but why?
