Whenever I create a character, I tend to blend two arche-paths together. They seem a bit more multifaceted that way, so not just a soldier but a spiritual soldier, so they're on the path of the priest AND of the warrior. Or a scientist AND a lover. This in itself provides conflict within and without the character, inner turmoil that is delicious to dig through and have the character teach you about themself.

Just a warning the title is inaccurate, it should be called *"Mythological Archetypes in Fiction"* ... when I clicked the link I was not expecting a discussion on the leveling systems of the occult.

No. But I do expect people to label their video with a more specific title. The archetypes she's referring to are more reflective of a specific subculture of mysticism than it is a overarching cross-section of all, or at least, classical, mythology. Only a small portion of the intended audience would correctly guess the subject based on this comparatively vague title.

Film Courage Thank you for your reply. I have a request for you, if you're interested; would miss Smith be interested in doing another video with you in where you would ask her philosophical questions related to the structure, the background in her novel? I'm aiming at the universal structure here. I am for example curious to know if the philosophy in her books are based on characters with free will or that these very same characters follow a laid out path. Or better yet; does both options differ in her different books, and if yes, how will that be noticeable?

I bought her book The Power of the Dark Side. So dissapointing. She is cataloguing the types of villains, telling things we already know; she is misleading us to stereotypes instead of making us question the complex human psychology. She is neither taking risks nor making a real effort. Even the way she talks; is she babysitting someone? It is making me so upset she's got a room on this channel, where there are some real experts instead, like John Truby.

manamaster6 ... Oh get over yourself. It's just a framework to scale characters. When she said (the oft repeated) "loin vs head" you were probably OK with that. All that chakra talk is the gradient between the loin and the head. You don't have to believe it to find it useful. After all, this is to help write fiction, things that didnt happen. But maybe we should run JK Rowling up a flagpole by her underpants for letting her brain fall out writing about magic and other pseudoscience. We dont want to lose our Skeptic Card.
@maximeteppe7627

The use of symbols and archetype is not the issue. It is the fact that she seems to apply that type of astrological thinking to real life as well. Again, quoting a change to the era of the mage or something, as the explanation for fantasy going mainstream. There is a nuance there.
