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.

The Mother archetype is the inner nurturer who creates safety, rhythm, and nourishment from within. She knows how to tend the nervous system, hold emotional space, and offer compassion without self-abandonment. Most of all, she gives herself compassion and accepts when it is time to rest and reset. The Mother archetype cares for and tends to the needs of herself and those around her, by supporting from a cup that’s full to overflowing.This is not martyrdom — it is sustainable devotion. Mother as an archetypal force knows when to rest and say no, and when to give and be in service.

 

When underdeveloped or operating in shadow, she overextends, overgives, and forgets that she too must be held.
