Random Archetype Insights

[Plenum]

if you want to see an excellent depiction of the High Priestess archetype, the character of 'Donna' in the tv show Suits is just stunning.

she is able to potentiate the male seeking of the Magician in the most surprising of ways; from one angle, her way and approach could be seen as being sneaky and underhand, and from the Magician's point of view, what is offered from behind the Veil comes out of nowhere, and when it is finally revealed how events played out, then it could be seen as being manipulative and not above board. And yet, a deeper analysis will show that the High Priestess was only potentiating (or making possible) what was being sought in the first place, and the Magician's hurt pride is only a recognition that they are not capable of everything themselves; but rather need this strong feminine influence to trigger the eventual catalyst whereby the original desires can find a way into experience.

I'm going to start calling this the 'Donna card' lol.
