Namaste Friends

Just wondering if anyone here is well versed in archetypes. I am not.

Yesterday I had acupuncture and my acupuncturist, who is someone I quite respect the opinion of, said that she believes I fit the "Joker" archetype almost to a "T". I've been trying to find information on the web about what the Joker Archetype entails, but all I can find is references to Batman/Joker movies. hahaha

Anyone know anything about or have a link they could share about what the Joker archetype is?

Love!

The Trickster is probably what she meant. Look up Jungian Archetypes. Jungian psychology is the basis of much of modern day psychological profiling, however, read his books, I would recommend memories, dreams, reflections.

Hi Karl

I've read a few books by Jung several years ago, but I'm not totally sure she (the acupuncturist) meant Trickster when she said Joker. Perhaps. I will have to ask her I guess.

I did come across plenty of info on the Trickster earlier today, but I didn't read it because I figured I was looking for something different. I will read up on it now.

Thanks for the help!

Love!
