I spend between 6 months to a year on each one as I explore what it means to me and allow it to influence my perspective and behavior for that time. Each of the archetypes are related to the previous and next archetype, building from where the last one left off. This makes it an ideal guide for artistic expression and spiritual growth. Each archetype has a unique lesson that I will identify and integrate before moving to the next one.
