Today we are exploring the feminine archetype of The Lover, which to a certain extent mirrors its masculine counterpart but also has its own specific traits. The feminine Lover is the embodiment of love, beauty and creativity. While researching this topic, we’ve discovered that it is difficult to talk and write about this archetype, as female sexuality still hasn’t been fully reconciled and accepted in post-agricultural society. We are covering the Lover Archetype through history, psychological development, culture, arts and popular media.

The energy of The Lover is very expansive. She doesn't care about boundaries, she just wants more expression, more feeling, more sensuality, more joy, more beauty. - @EuvieIvanova Click To Tweet

Creativity is a great, healthy way to express The Lover energy, because it's symbolic and in many ways more safe for women than expressing sexual energy directly. - @EuvieIvanova Click To Tweet
