Joseph Campbell’s work dives into archetypes well. Older Jordan Peterson lectures from university have a lot of archetypal content. An easy read is Jean Shinoda Bolen’s books, “Goddesses in Every Woman” and “Gods in Every Man.” We did a podcast series on them.
I’d start with those and see where it takes you. :)

Amazing episode on a tantalizing topic. Is there a good place you would point us for a list of archetypes in general? The Red book or any others? I’m starting to read John Beebe’s book and it’s becoming obvious I don’t have much background in the “named” archetypes themselves.
Hi. Is there a place to read show notes? I am interested in some of the quotes you made and to have notes to examine the ideas further. thank you.
Hi Joel and Antonia. Excellent conversation. I’ve been listening since summer 2015!!! You two have introduced me to so many life changing maps & models and spurred so many different interests. Can’t thank you enough! ??
I know I’m a few weeks late, but…
Duuuuuun dundundun Duun Dun Duun DUUUUUUUUNN!!!
400 weeks!
Miserable attempt at typing a fanfare aside, congratulations and recognitions for the amazing stick-to-it-ness of your work keeping the company alive, not to mention the weekly podcast :D. Your personal anecdotes, words of hard-earned advice, and devotion to positively impacting the world around you have touched many and pointed them to more healthy thought patterns and other health tips (major kudos for all your work expanding your horizons with Jung on Yoga and the Enneagram starter kits).
I’m very much looking forward to seeing what you all will be up to next! Thanks so much for all you do for us who’ve come across your work.
Best wishes,
William
