Archetypes are potentials within our psyche. These potentials exist as aspects of the collective unconsciousness. Myths and archetypes are images of powers within the soul. “ the planets are the gods, symbols of the powers of the unconscious” - Jung 1972. They are primordial images in the human soul that structure reality and exist as underlying psychic structures.
