A surprise dual topic: Merry and Pru discuss the concept of Patreons and paying to subscribe to podcasts (Pru is suspicious). And then Merry lays out not one but two mesmerizing systems of archetypes—one by Carl Jung (founder of analytical psychology) and one by Tami Cowden (charming author of romances and mysteries). May this startling pair live together forever, enshrined in a mythical archetype paradise!
Here are the lists (in PDF form) of archetypes Merry read out during the podcast -- just in case you couldn't write as fast as she talked:
