| T H E F I F T E E N C R O S S - C U L T U R A L A R C H E T Y P E S Developed by ARAS - The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism where interpretive statements were formulated by analytical psychologists that connect archetypal symbolism to the inner experience of contemporary women and men. These fifteen archetypes, common to myth and folklore worldwide, will form the core in our selection of mythic themes. This structure ensures a cohesive ‘weaving of common threads’ and underlies the all-important cross-cultural quality of the exploratorium: Click on titles for worldwide story cycles: Cosmos and Creation * Center of the World Sacred Marriage * The Divine Child Heroes and Heroines – The Monomyth |
