Talking about female archetypes (and I have already written about them HERE, HERE, HERE, THERE and also in THIS ARTICLE), it would be unfair not to touch on the male topic. Different archetypes are realized in that or to some other extent depending on the characteristics of the person himself, his personal history, genetics, prevailing circumstances and, of course, what is hidden in the unconscious (not only individual). Today we will talk about the Warrior archetype, which gives the desire to win, the strength to compete, struggle with difficulties, real achievements. A warrior is passion, power, focus, activity, active energy and enterprise. A warrior is able to effectively achieve goals, remove obstacles from the path, protect from troubles, defend himself and loved ones, protect interests and beliefs, get what he feels the need, need and desire for. The bright side of the Warrior is the Winner of the Family, the head of which is manifested harmoniously by the Warrior, feels reliable. “Like behind a stone wall”... A well-known phrase that is directly related to him. He protects his loved ones and not only them. Friends and acquaintances are also, in a certain sense, under his supervision. No, he does not look after them like a quonk, but he is always there if it is difficult, and when his help is truly needed. A warrior is someone who cares about justice, but not from the position of a petitioner, but quite the opposite. No one dares to enter his territory . And no one should offend the weak who are related to him. He simply won’t allow it if he’s nearby. By the way, no one should, in his opinion, lay claim to something dear to him. Although he himself does not always follow this principle. His interests are more important! If he is engaged in business, he rarely rests on his laurels. He constantly needs to expand his spheres of influence, strive for more - to capture new niches, conquer new heights or expand the space in which he wants to actively manifest himself. He is, as a rule, very strong. Its power extends to the sexual sphere. To take possession of a woman - oh, how important it is! How important it is to behave in bed in such a way as to know for sure that he is an impeccable warrior here too, and therefore such men often become wonderful lovers, unless they are too zealous in achieving the result, ignoring the quality of the process. Warriors do not always show sensitivity to what is generally happening with their sexual partner. In general, the Winner does have something “too much”, like any other archetype. Too belligerent, fight, be tough. Or jealous. Share your woman? Well, not anymore!!! A warrior is sometimes able to stir up conflict out of nowhere. And this, of course, goes beyond the harmonious manifestation of the archetype. Since the Warrior is, by nature, a fighter, he shows belligerence not only in the fight for the desired object, but often with himself, if we talk about a woman. He is sometimes irreconcilable not only with those whom he considers competitors or enemies, but also with his wife if her behavior, in his opinion, goes beyond acceptable limits, and they are sometimes quite narrow. Yes, the Winner makes sure that the woman feels protected - in such a way that she is warm, sufficiently nourished and not afraid, but he will not tolerate it if she considers herself the main one in the partnership, or overly stubbornly, in a traditionally masculine way, defends her point of view. In general, the union of a Warrior and a Warrior has little prospects, since it is doomed to eternal rivalry, unless both or at least one of them, understanding their own characteristics, begins to behave differently, releasing other archetypes. As for the issues of implementation in the professional sphere, it is not difficult guess that the Warrior often turns out to be a careerist. If he sets a goal, he has no equal not only in military affairs, police or something like that, as it may seem to someone, but also in entrepreneurship, oratory, sports, in a word, wherever there is a place for “feat” "or conquering new heights. The winner can successfullyto realize himself in politics, but only if it corresponds to his ideals. He will not go against his own values, but to die for them... alas, this also happens. When cultivating a Warrior in a boy, it is useful to send him to sports sections (where there are times when he needs to overcome difficulties), especially if he grows up among women or next to a soft, not particularly strong-willed father. Too harsh upbringing and excessive development of this archetype in a child often turns him into a fighter who defends his interests exclusively with his fists. So moderation is needed here, as well as everywhere. The winner archetype has not only positive, but also negative aspects. In this context, jealousy, low sensitivity to some needs of loved ones, and pugnacity have already been mentioned. It is not difficult to guess that here it is also possible to exceed authority, “walk over heads” in the name of achieving a goal, some kind of unbreakable stubbornness, etc. For himself, the bright side sometimes also “goes sideways” due to immoderation, if he does not spare himself at all , spends “to the bottom” in the name of others, or “lays his head” on the battlefield - real or some other, for example, political. But if there are no extremes, he is loved for his strength and ability to win, and he himself achieves success in achieving a huge number of goals - even the most ambitious ones and feels “on horseback”. The dark side of the Warrior is the Killer If the Light Warrior always has a goal to achieve invests energy, the Dark One does not always possess it. He fights simply for the sake of fighting, looking for those to blame. Such a warrior is a lover of truth, waving his sword left and right indiscriminately, an angry careerist or a domestic tyrant. In extreme cases, a murderer is actually a murderer, a rapist, or someone else punishing, punishing, acting in the name of revenge. He sometimes turns out to be truly obsessed with the idea of ​​​​restoring justice, measuring it on some kind of scales of his own, arranged on a principle that goes beyond any understanding of a reasonable person with a heart. The Shadow Warrior can be a sadist if he is in the active pole and a masochist - if in passive. In the second case, he is struggling with something inside himself, sometimes without realizing it to himself. Then he allows himself to be mocked and endures a lot, although it also happens that the power accumulated during the period of restraint breaks out and becomes destructive for those around him. If, by adulthood, a man with a fairly manifest Warrior archetype due to some internal conflicts or suppression by another archetype does not achieve success in what he planned, a crisis in the absence of support from the environment and loved ones or due to some other circumstances, the Shadow seizes power over him. And then such a person becomes tirelessly conflicted, callous, mercilessly critical, blaming himself, everyone and everything for his own failures for a reason and so, for no reason - simply as if for the sake of belligerence. By old age, a man who finds himself in the power of the inner Killer finds himself in the role a grumpy old woman, irritable and angry. Oh, where are you, that same masculinity of a warrior in its bright manifestation? Although the Killer, if we talk about the manifestation of an archetype, and not about the usual interpretation of this concept, like everything in our life, is ambiguous. There is a significant radical ruthlessness in him, which is sometimes so much needed in some circumstances - especially in some professions or in cases of force majeure. There is a lot of primordial strength, power and the ability to follow instincts in him. Without this archetype in our ancestors, we, as such, probably would not exist. Let us remember, at least, the not so distant Great Patriotic War, during which the expression of the Warrior archetype was so necessary, what can I say, necessary for the survival of the whole country... And at the end of this article I will cite several famous figures with a manifested Warrior archetype: Napoleon, warlike heroes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Peter I, Putin, which contains not only
