THE Warrior
the journey onwards
This page provides you with further resources and practices you can do to continue deepening your connection to this month’s archetype.
How much deeper can you commit to your future vision?
connect with your goals
The Warrior Archetype is awakened when we feel a strong connection to what we want to create/attain/achieve in our lives. She is the version of us that doesn’t just dream about our goals, but is inspired to actively pursue them! So, the first step to strengthening your inner Warrior is to ask yourself: “What do I want?”
make a commitment to yourself
You have to decide that you can and will make your future vision a reality. External change happens first from within. Most people get to breaking point before they make this kind of commitment to themselves, but you can decide this right now, and begin today.
What does committing to yourself look like? It looks like building a daily routine that supports your growth, and your health on physical, mental, and spiritual level. This kind of discipline is not meant to feel comfortable, it is meant to challenge you. Figure out where you are out of balance, and incorporate things into your routine that bring you back into overall harmony.
If you already have a strong routine, then begin to incorporate things into it (this doesn’t have to be daily) that specifically help you to get closer to your unique goals.
When you commit to yourself with this level of devotion, it is hard for your dreams not to commit you back.
Connect with the warrior archetype through mythology
You may find that simply calling on the energy of one of the following Goddesses or historical figures can provide you with the courage your inner Warrior needs to come out. If one of the following ones resonates with you, I recommend doing some deeper reading on her story!
Artemis (Greek Mythology): While primarily known as the goddess of the hunt and wilderness, Artemis was also a skilled archer and protector of women and children. She could be fierce in defending her domain.
Athena (Greek Mythology): Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare, is often depicted as a powerful and strategic warrior. She emerged fully grown and armored from the head of her father, Zeus, and was a patron of heroes and defenders of civilization.
Mulan (Chinese Folklore): The legend of Mulan tells the story of a young woman who disguises herself as a man to take her father's place in the army. She becomes a skilled warrior and fights for her country.
Joan of Arc (Historical): While not from mythology, Joan of Arc is a historical figure who is often depicted as a female warrior. She played a crucial role in the Hundred Years' War between England and France, leading troops and inspiring her countrymen.
Valkyries (Norse Mythology): In Norse mythology, the Valkyries were female warrior spirits who served the god Odin. They chose the bravest of fallen warriors to bring them to Valhalla, the hall of the honored dead.
Durga (Hindu Mythology): Durga is a Hindu goddess known for her fierce and protective qualities. She is often depicted riding a lion and wielding various weapons to defeat demons and restore balance in the world.
Amazons (Greek Mythology): The Amazons were a group of female warriors in Greek mythology, often depicted as skilled archers and fighters. They lived in various regions, including Themyscira, in some versions of the myths.
Maeve (Irish Mythology): Queen Maeve of Connacht in Irish mythology is a formidable warrior queen who was known for her leadership and combat skills.
The Morrigan (Irish Mythology): The Morrigan is a complex figure in Irish mythology, associated with war, fate, and sovereignty. She could take on the form of a crow and often appeared on the battlefield to influence the outcome of conflicts.
Tomoe Gozen (Japanese History): Tomoe Gozen was a legendary female samurai in Japan during the late 12th century. She was known for her martial prowess and fought in numerous battles.
Believe in yourself and your ability to overcome challenges
Ultimately, the Warrior Archetype has an unwavering belief in her ability to overcome whatever obstacles come her way. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t make mistakes, or sometimes fail at her tasks, it simply means that she knows whatever happens she will reach her goals.
Believing in yourself takes practice, but one great approach that can guide you through this evolution is asking yourself:
What would the version of me that has already reached her goal do?
How would she respond to this challenge?
What thoughts would she be thinking?
What kind of plan would she make, if any?
How would she view and treat herself?
I hope this brings you clarity, and I nencourage you to be disciplined with these practices if you want to see the true shifts this Archetype can provide in your life!
