The archetypes are the core of my work, and now that the previous episodes have laid out the worldsense and frame of ideas that hold the archetypes, we can start getting into these inner figures in detail.

The Primal Animal can be one of the more difficult archetypes to live well with, especially (because of socialized judgment) for nonbinary, gender-fluid, and female people.

Its raw, intense, and amoral essence (note I'm not saying people are amoral; this archetype is amoral) is the part of human nature that's closest to "apex predator animal" nature.

There are profound gifts, strengths, and skills that it brings, and challenges in living this animal side of us in the human world. When it's clean and well-integrated, it can be enormously generative and powerful - and when it's in shadow, it's as dark as shadow can get.

I'll be releasing archetypal episodes about every-other-episode until all 13 are out - enjoy the first of the series!
