Appears in consciousness
as a universal and recurring image, pattern or motif representing a typical human
experience. Archetypal images come from the collective
unconscious and are the basic content of religions, mythologies, legends and art. They
also emerge from the collective unconscious in individuals through dreams and visions. The
encounter with an archetypal image evokes a strong emotional reaction, conveying
a sense of divine or transpersonal power which transcends the ego.*
