AEM Podcast #37 Rod Boothroyd - King, Sovereign Archetype - King Warrior Magician Lover

Today on the podcast I welcome back Rod Boothroyd for the final part in the series where we explore the archetype of the King or the Queen also known as the Sovereign Archetype. The King or Sovereign is the part of us that is responsible for vision, power,  leadership, potency, blessing ourselves and others, and bringing order to our internal and external worlds. The King is also the part of us responsible for the spiritual side of our lives. Today Rod goes deeper into the subject of the King archetype. What are the positive aspects and  what are the shadows? How do we connect to this energy in a benevolent way? ---Rod Boothroyd is a counsellor, psychotherapist, a certified “Healing The Shadow” practitioner and the author of the book Warrior, Magician, Lover, King – a guide to the male archetypes updated for the 21st century. He works with men, women and mixed groups to heal the wounds of childhood with Marianne Hill and also trains people in the art of working with the shadow and healing emotional wounds. Some of the questions that Rod answers are: 1. What is the King or Sovereign archetype?2. What makes a balanced and mature King?3. What are the shadows of the archetypes?4. What are the specific shadows of the King archetype?5. I would love you to speak more about the emotional wounds of the King. How does this wound come about and what are some of the self-beliefs that are born from this wound?6. What would you say is the key emotion of the King and why is this emotion so important for a mature male?7. In your book you mention that you feel that the King archetype is the one which is most out of balance in the modern man. Why is this? Has it changed over the past few decades since Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette published their books? 8. How do we cultivate the King - what are the steps that we can take to embody the King more fully in our lives?9. You mention that the King is about life purpose and mission. Can you talk a little more to usabout how to connect to our mission and purpose as men and women?10.
