The 7 Feminine Archetypes (Which One Are You?)

As human beings, we embody rich traits that make us deeply extraordinary. Feminine archetypes are a symbolic representation of ourselves, our strengths, and even our divine purpose. The spirit of a feminine archetype transcends gender boundaries, so no matter how you identify, anyone has a masculine and feminine side. They are universal patterns and traits and knowing which feminine archetype you are can allow for you to feel empowered to embrace your most authentic self.

Here are the 7 feminine archetypes and how to know which one you are:

The Mother

This archetype represents unconditional love, compassion, and a nurturing nature. If you find it easy to take care of others (as if it were a calling of some kind…), and you find joy in being a pillar of support, a listening ear, and a shoulder to cry on, and creating a safe space for others, then you might be a Mother.

The Maiden

This archetype is youthful and carefree, with a curiosity for life and a wholesome spirit of adventure. If people have told you that you have a “light” or a vibrant energy to you, or you enjoy inspiring others to explore, create, and follow their dreams, then you might be a Maiden.

The Huntress

This archetype is the embodiment of courage, independence, and fierceness. Not only do you embrace your independence, and have a fierce sense of determination and fearlessness for carving your own path in life, but you encourage others to do the same. If this sounds like you, then you might be a Huntress.

The Mystic

Being intuitive, having a profound connection with the unseen, and wanting to gain more spiritual knowledge are qualities of a Mystic. She is wise, connected, and skilled in Tarot and Oracle Cards and Palm Reading. She also inspires others to awaken their inner magic. If this sounds like you, then you might be a Mystic.

The Sage

This archetype is incredibly wise. She possesses a thirst for knowledge and a love for learning. If you are like this and you also are good at reflecting on the lessons you learn in life and sharing that wisdom with others, then you might be a Sage.

The Queen

This is the archetype that represents the empowered parts of womanhood. She embodies elegance, confidence, grace, and compassion all while also being a firm, strong leader. If you enjoy maintaining harmony and peace and leading with love as well as inspiring others to be the same, then you might be this regal archetype.

The Lover

This archetype represents the sensual, passionate parts of us. If you have a deep desire for emotional connection, have a big heart and wear your heart on your sleeve, and enjoy engaging in passionate, sensual love affairs as well as inspiring others to embrace their sexuality and sensuality, then you might be a Lover.
