Poseidon God Of The Sea

Use this search feature to quickly find the information you're looking for.

Poseidon God of the sea is the archetype covering the domain of emotion and instinct. With Poseidon active you will feel emotion intensely and that will give you plenty to work with to transform.

The word archetype describes what Carl Jung identified as patterns of behaving that arise from the collective unconscious of humankind. The pattern of being is not unique to an individual; it is available to manifest in each of us because we each reflect a part of the whole.

To recognize Poseidon active within your life look for...

Bottling up strong emotions instead of instantaneous expression

Feeling strongly

Uncontrollable rage

A poor loser

Not comfortable in the world of school and intellectual realms

Operates day-to-day from a feeling and instinctual base rather than logic and planning

Possible drawbacks to living the Poseidon archetype...

Can be viewed as emotionally unstable or inappropriate

For men can feel alienated as emotions are not traditionally accepted within men

low self-esteem for not being allowed to be himself by society (lack of acceptance)

This information has been summarized from the book Gods in Everyman by Jean Shinoda Bolen.

If you recognize your patterns of acting and being in the world from the above list and are curious about what you can do to change, then first and foremost use this information as proof that you are not different, defective or a victim of your past programming.

The above shows the commonality in the human experience when certain innate energies are active. As such begin by accepting that you do indeed own these particular traits and let it be ok that you do.

This will slightly raise your self-esteem and self-acceptance for each trait you own. If you would like some guidance or clarification, please contact me, I would love to help.
