Part Two of this essay will continue to examine this state of affairs. When an individual lives out a mythological pattern without self-awareness, they are not truly “themselves,” but rather “possessed by” or “identified with” the archetype. The patterns are archaic and perennial (in that they repeat throughout all time, varying according to a given culture) - which is what is meant by “archetypal.” These archetypes represent forces of a collective nature, which live through individuals over aeons. The general concept of “The Lover” type is taken from Robert Moore’s book, “King Warrior Magician Lover.” This term refers to a certain set of behavior patterning which is active, mostly unconsciously, in many men, and particularly in artists. These typical scenarios are caused by living out a collective pattern - an archetype - which has an impersonal disregard for an individual’s wellbeing. The artist tinged more with an immature “Dionysian” typology will be affected by extreme emotionality and even reckless, violent behavior.

An artist with an undeveloped “Orphic” disposition will tend more towards a longing, romanticization and dramatization - a poetic, almost mystical love. The narrow attention to the effects of masculine archetypes on men’s psyches (which also affect women’s psyches) is an attempt to simplify the discourse and therefore reach a clear vantage point of at least one perspective on the issues at hand.īoth Orpheus and Dionysus are archetypes commonly active in the personalities of contemporary artists. Still, this article, as a cultural and psychological examination, will be of interest to people of all genders and ages. Further, it emphasizes the influence of adolescent, or undeveloped aspects of The Lover, as it relates to young men.

It is vital to look at this material, because the collective shadow is emerging in these contemporary artists.Īs mentioned in Part One, this essay series explores the masculine archetype of The Lover as connected to male bodies and the psyches of men (which is not necessarily the case). In other words, these specific examples are important because they are emblematic of many millions of others. But, these selected examples represent broad cultural movements, and therefore the typical psychological states of many individuals in modern times. These contemporary expressions aren’t the only domains in which the shadow aspects of The Lover, a form of undeveloped male psychology, manifest themselves. In Part Two we will explore further shadow aspects of the Lover, by utilizing the examples of Soundcloud Rappers and specifically the singer XXXTentacion.

In Part One of this essay series, we explored Dan Bilzerian as an example of the Lover archetype as the playboy, or Addicted Lover. Part Two, Section One: Dionysus and Orpheus as the Artist-Type Preface
