Jung's archetypes

Something that might not be that important but I found interesting was that 'the witch' even crops up in a list of Psychologist Jung's archetypes...

As well as the 4 main archetypes of The Shadow, The Anima, The Animus and The Self, Jung said that there are a large number of others. These are often linked to the main archetypes and may represent aspects of them...For example:

Story archetypes The hero: Rescuer, champion The maiden: Purity, desire The wise old man: Knowledge, guidance The magician: Mysterious, powerful The earth mother: Nature The witch or sorceress: Dangerous The trickster: Deceiving, hidden The witch or sorceress not standing for female power in a positive light but standing for something dangerous. Funnily though, the women who were typically accused of being witches and perceived as being dangerous - were the ones worshipping The Earth Mother, who stands for nature. Also interesting to see that there is an archetype for a Wise Old Man, representing knowledge and guidance, but no Wise Old Woman. Would she just fall into the category of a witch? http://changingminds.org/explanations/identity/jung_archetypes.htm
