The Spellcaster is a major league powerhouse archetype that people are loathe to admit they have; you may have the Spellcaster and not realize it. You can easily overlook this archetype when you associate it with witch or Wiccan. The Spellcaster is someone who has to have their own way, who casts spells on others, and there are many clever ways of doing that. Compliments that you angle to seduce are spells, and you know exactly what you are doing. Opinions that you absolutely insist other people inherit are spells. Fears are spells. There is a great side to the Spellcaster, which is always a source of optimism, of power, of positiveness. The positive Spellcaster is someone you can rely on to tell you something wonderful and to be there for you.
The positive Spellcaster always makes you feel good; they always put you under a great spell. How do you deal with a Spellcaster? Or how you deal with yourself if you are a Spellcaster? Ask a friend—or better yet if you have the courage ask someone who is not a friend—if you are a Spellcaster. Wear a tape recorder to record yourself and play back your conversations and just listen to how you talk; listen to how you phrase things. Listen to whether or not you are an insistent person, an open person, or if you repeat yourself.
The Spellcaster repeats things again and again; they say things like: “Well, like I say,” and they repeat themselves ten, fifteen, twenty times if they are trying to get a point across. They repeat themselves until you say, “I got it.” And then they reply, “But, like I say ...” This is a compulsive Spellcaster. When the light bulb goes on that are acting in a negative way, ask yourself what you are up to and what is motivating your speech. Keep your eye on yourself and remember that archetypes are about you and not others, so keep your eye on yourself at all times.Femme Fatale
(flirt, siren, circe, seductress, enchantress, black widow)
The Femme Fatale knows how to play up the sexual aspect of being a woman. She absolutely embodies the energy of being a maximum female. Examples of Femme Fatales include Angelina Jolie, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon, Sophia Loren, and Marilyn Monroe. The female counterpart of Don Juan sometimes adds the twist of killing her conquests as an expression of her ability to dominate, thereby reversing the conventional sexual stereotypes. As with Don Juan, the Femme Fatale represents highly refined skills at manipulating men without investing personal emotion.
The Femme Fatale is a sexual and a financial archetype, and either comes from or is drawn to money and power. Seducing men with money and power and for the sake of personal control and survival is a classic part of this archetype, although the Femme Fatale is not looking for a home in the suburbs and the pleasures of family life.
As with the Don Juan archetype, the positive aspect of this pattern is the opening of the heart, which often occurs when the male object rejects the manipulations and dependency of the Femme Fatale, as Rhett Butler rejects Scarlett O’Hara at the end of Gone with the Wind.
