Masculine archetypes: Balancing the Warrior, Wizard, Father, Lover, and Sovereign within

Isaac Cotec is the creator of the HeroRise Archetype Deck. Inspired by the psychological works of Carl Jung and Robert Moore, this deck was created to help both men and women redefine their masculinity and find balance and purpose. We spoke about what an archetype is, how to 'switch them on', and becoming conscious of the shadow archetypes that plague our everyday lives.
