A archetype is a powerful emotion that resides in the collective unconsciousness. A example would be the Hero archetype which in its positive form will push people like soldiers, policemen and firemen to risk their lives to save others. Though in its negative form will encourage conquerors like Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte and Hitler to conquer other nations and inflict great suffering onto millions of others for no other reason than to boost the conqueror's personal ego. The Goddess女神 — a woman treated as divine archetype is feminine counterpart to the Hero archetype and is now returning to consciousness. Over the last two thousand years the Goddess女神 — a woman treated as divine archetype seemed to have nearly completely disappeared from people's consciousness and only survived in passive forms like the Virgin Mary. Yet over the last few hundred years it is now starting to return and what is becoming clear is that it is a immensely powerful archetype. So powerful is it that it is changing the consciousness of the human race over the last few hundred years.

The first clear manifestation came with the beginnings of the Suffragette movement in the late 19th century. Though it is now clear it this archetype was affecting people's unconscious mind long before this in preparing the way for female emancipation. Mary Wollstonecraft wrote her famous book "A Vindication Of The Rights Of Women" back in 1792. Before such a book could be written without the authoress being burnt at the stake as a Witch.
