Amber I in The Goddess Among Us
Trinities and Freudian Archetypes - me

While Amber is a definite "go to girl" for much of my art, the "poem" has been a work in progress, refurbished and restated often, but this particular version was inspired by a new and unnamed member of this site...

...largely because I wanted to compare the "trinities" found in several religions (here many sects of Christianity and many schools of Witchcraft) with the Freudian Structural Model of the Psyche. (link)

The Id is represented by the Maiden and Christ: "Earthly" desires, the need to love and be loved, that part of us which yearns to learn but might take dangerous risks were it not for...

The Super-Ego, in the guise of the Mother and Father. This is the part of each of us which contain all our rules, laws and personal morality...regardless of how "correct" they may be.

The Ego is portrayed in the Crone and Holy Ghost. Acceptance, nurturance, the wisdom of having learned through experience.

Other religions have similar representations though their complexity naturally increases with the number of deities. I still have an affinity for Bacchus/Dionysus who could (as many) be said to embody all three!

Again, I'm not saying I believe in any of this...I am interested in better understanding the roots of it all, however.
