The 12 Archetypes of a Powerful Woman Wheel was created by Nathalie Jackson to support her women's mystery school and all of her work that draws upon our ancient blood and bones wisdom. These archetypal energies are accessible to all of humanity, having revealed themselves throughout the ages in mythological stories and tales across cultures worldwide. Each culture has their own version of the MOTHER or the HEROINE or the WILD WOMAN.
Explore these archetypes through the eyes of a modern empowered woman.
May your journey lead you home again.
The Initiate is the archetypal force that steps into a willingness to be remade. When alive in you, you understand that identity is fluid and that evolution requires shedding skins. You step across the thresholds of endings, beginnings, and unknown terrain, with reverence rather than resistance. When embodied, you embrace transformation as sacred. The unknown no longer terrifies you. You take one step forward in front of the other, with total and absolute trust.
When underdeveloped or in shadow, you may cling to outdated versions of yourself out of fear. You may find you’re stuck, with an inability to change or let go. The unknown may feel scary to you, finding comfort in what is, even if uncomfortable or non-serving.
