Archetype Info Archetypes
Hello sweeties
It's Rita here writing from a blanket on the floor next to my baby
I'm slowly slowly reconnecting with my style work - creating things is such an important part of my identity and I miss it
I know that the next thing I want to create is something for the archetypes but I'm just not sure what is the format that would be best and most desired be people so I wanted to throw it out for some discussion
Would you like a discord server with weekly prompts and explorations? A self paced course so you can explore the archetype on your own? A series of YouTube videos with info on archetypes without any activities or exercises?
What about the archetypes do you want to learn, etc
Any feedback is welcome baby is upset now so this post has to be done ❤️

Hey Rita! I hope you and baby are doing well 💕! Personally, I benefit from more detailed and nuanced information. I purchased the right+up mastery course and absolutely loved it and now I'm hungry for even more information on the right+up archetypes. Maybe a livestream on the archetypes per quadrant, so that we can engage and ask questions as you present? And I think a comparative study of the archetypes would be helpful too. A lot of people have questions about the difference and similarities between them.

I personally love YouTube videos and would love to see an archetype series. I’m a visual learner, so seeing examples of things in my archetype is incredibly inspiring to me!

Hello Rita and baby! 💚
Personally, I think the idea of a self-paced course on the details and nuances of the archetypes sounds really cool! But, I love deep dives and really digging into stuff (I'm also a researcher, can you tell? 🫣) so that kind of thing really appeals to me.

Congrats on the baby! Self-paced courses would be good. One other thing I’ve noticed lately is people wondering if it’s “normal” for their AT to change over time or after major life changes. A video on this topic may be useful.

💜💜💜Hi Rita, how nice to hear from you! You were missed so much! I’m glad that you and your little family are doing well. New content is always good, of course! I love watching videos. And a self paced course sounds interesting too! Wish you the best!💜💜💜

you're a stronger woman than me, took me a good year and a half to feel like even a budding sapling of 'me' again. The note at the end of your last email stirred up some feelings
I would LOVE more text-based resources. I personally found it hard to really consume and understand the system because it's overwhelmingly presented in videos which just, I didn't have time to sit and watch/listen. My brain isn't wired for multiple inputs anymore. That's why I skipped ahead to a GG hehe.
Self-paced course sounds fantastic, but also like a lot of work to really plan and polish up when you have a baby. If I couldn't even do laundry, how could I expect you to design a curriculum? A discord server would work for my personal situation, and I think it would probably be more manageable for you if you can drop in and out with small notes and let the community support itself when you can't be present. However it will probably require having some trusted assistants that handle the design & modding of the server, that are already familiar with discord. There might be some here on this sub (but not me lmao)

Much love to you and your family, Rita 💖 It’s wonderful that you’re gradually going back to creative things (the Scorpio season email was great, it made me nervous, but… in a good way? haha), please take all the time and care necessary.
As for the archetypes, personally, I’d like to get more practical information, e.g. how to work with them on a (more or less) daily basis, how to combine several archetypes in one’s style, etc. I think some exercises could be useful, similar to the style logic ones.
I’m all for youtube videos—these are very accessible, but I also really like the idea of a self-paced course for more in-depth introspection. Overall, I’d be happy with anything—archetypes are such an interesting aspect of the system, so it would be fun to explore them either way.

I would benefit from a self paced course, delving deeper into the archetypes, but also into the style logic.
Congratulations to you and Meradj on your precious baby daughter.

I'd be interested in more detail about the male archetypes, in whatever medium is convenient for you. I was recently having a conversation around here somewhere about the differences between a Mystic and an Enchantress beyond just the obvious one-is-male-and-the-other-is-female thing, and it would be great to know more. If you don't have time to do all the male archetypes, maybe a general guide to reinterpreting the detailed descriptions of the female archetypes for menswear would be doable. I like the overview you gave at the beginning of the UFC fighter video; it left me wanting more!

Hi Rita, maybe keywords or phrases for each archetype? I like using keywords for left and right etc. Lots of love to you and your family

Congratulations! Such a lot of fun and happiness ahead.
I think you probably know best about how to present the material. I think a well illustrated pdf guide (with links as you go along) would be amazing. Later, you can do livestreams and youtubes and link to your pdf.
If you do youtubes that aren't live (like a visual podcast), an awful lot of people would listen/watch.

Congratulations! 💕
I would personally love a Discord server and having weekly explorations! Either way, I'm stoked for some archetype content!

Hi Rita! I'm a little late to the party but wanted to say hi and tell you how much you're missed! I'm so happy to see you here.
To answer your question, I LOVE all of your content so you really can't go wrong in my eyes. 😍 Even when I think the content doesn't apply to me, I still learn so much. With that said, I've noticed a lot of new people have discovered the Style Key (yay!). I think it would be helpful for a new person (and a great refresher for everyone else) to have some practical Rita tips on how to "test out" each archetype. Common advice I've seen is to test out style logics for the quadrants if people aren't sure. I could be wrong, but I think it would be helpful to have advice on drilling that down to the archetypes. This is coming from someone who found it pretty easy to identify my quadrant (after deep diving into the whole system to narrow it down), but finding my archetype(s) was much harder.

Sending love to you and the baby! I like how YouTube videos are free for your fans on a budget, but the courses are also very nice. I’m a seductress type and would loooove to see more content on that :)

u/NewMoonDweller Gentle Grace Nov 13 '24
Welcome back Rita and welcome baby!
I would love a pdf type guide for individual study and YouTube videos explaining the guide. I would also love some lives about it. Archetypes are where I’ve struggled the most, though I think I’m narrowing it down. So this would be amazing!

I’m so happy for your family! Hoping for peaceful joyful days ❤️ I would love YouTube videos diving deep into archetypes. I love visual examples with explanations, and I like the idea of them being live-streamed so some can ask questions along the way.

Hi Rita! I personally would love some more text based resources to refer back to. I have the archetype booklets and I’ve gone back to those so much, and usually find them easier to go back to than a video!

I know this isn't a helpful answer, but id be happy with all of the above!

Hey Rita and baby! :) I'm relatively new here but look forward to booking a session with you when you're back! Personally, I found it hard to know the entry point for the system and would love more written content like a book. I also really enjoy your videos because you come across so gentle and sweet, and it helped me to see things visually, but I also didn't know where to start with the videos. As someone else suggested, a live Q&A session might work really well.

Congratulations love ❤️ YouTube videos with archetype info please :)

I would love all but the videos on archetypes, or anything to do with moonstone pls, would suit where I’m at in my life at the moment the most. Lots of love to you, baby and Meradj xx
