These archetypes represent fundamental aspects of human experience and are believed to influence our thoughts, behaviours, and perceptions. While the number of archetypes is vast, following are some of the most prominent ones.
Fire, the Cosmic Blaze: Arising from the sacred flames that illuminate the universe, Fire ignites the passions within and radiates transformative energy.

It embodies intellect, communication, and the intangible realm of thought. The air stirs our minds, kindling creativity and fostering clarity.
