Spiritual Archetype Quiz

Alchemist

The alchemist is the wizard. This archetype loves change and transformation. In turn, they look forward to the possibilities and changes that the future holds. Alchemists seek spiritual Unity, blessings, atonement, and alignment through the practice of rituals, spells, and ceremonies. Often, these rituals, spells, and ceremonies include the invocation of non-physical beings such as spirits and elemental forces through the careful arrangement, manipulation, or construction of physical objects. To an Alchemist, service, sacred rites of passage, and everyday acts of faith aid in strengthening their connection to the Divine.

Cenobite

The Cenobite archetype values the sense of belonging to a spiritual family. This personality derives their human connection when in the company of like-minded people. In turn, the cenobite creates meet-ups and social communities with other persons that share their thoughts, objectives, and dreams. Due to their selfless nature, cenobites have unconditional love for others. As a person who deeply values human connection, you feel the most emotionally and spiritually healthy when you’re surrounded by like-minded people. You thrive the best when you’re leading, or part of, a soul tribe.

Devotee

Do you find yourself drawn to a spiritual journey characterized by devotion to a deity or spiritual figure? If so, your dominant personality is the Devotee spiritual archetype. See, the Devotee worships, commits to, and serves a God or Goddess, Buddha, Jesus, the Holy Mother, or any other divine power. More so, the Devotee prefers growing while under the guidance and support of an experienced spiritual teacher or mentor. Typical traits of a devotee include being receptive, passionate, trusting, open, determined, and humble. You are passionately devoted to the search of finding your True Nature through the process of self-emptying. You feel the most spiritually supported when you are guided by an experienced teacher, guide (whether physical or nonphysical), mentor, or guru. In more advanced levels of growth, Devotees are devoted to listening and honoring the voice within.

Saint

The Saint spiritual archetype has great compassion for humanity. This archetype views all lifeforms as sacred and needs to be preserved. As a result, they engage in benevolent causes like giving to charity, looking after endangered animals, or advocating for the rights of the needy and vulnerable in society. The Saint archetype values action as the highest form of love. Dogma and spiritual theories mean nothing to the Saint if they can’t be backed by loving action. At heart, you are a sensitive, charitable, and intensely warm-hearted person. You can’t stand to see acts of injustice, abuse, or neglect committed against life. You are the kind of person to take on the suffering of others and be the spokesperson for a movement or benevolent cause. You are the defender of the downtrodden, the protector of the abused, and the nurturer of the disowned. Dogma and spiritual theories mean nothing to you if they can’t be backed by loving action. Opening your heart to others is your personal religion.

Mystic

The mystic spiritual archetype is naturally intuitive and sensitive. Hence, this archetype relies on feelings to discern messages from the spiritual realm. For example, the mystic may view their current struggles as a necessary step to discover their True Nature and connect to a higher calling. In turn, they hardly find pleasure or satisfaction in riches, fame, or status in society. They also view themselves as one with the universe. Consequently, they devote their lives to finding divinity in all aspects of life. If you are the Mystic archetype, you will be drawn towards transcending the ego and melting the boundaries between “you” and Infinite Consciousness. To you, the ultimate achievement in life is the unio mystica, the spiritual marriage between the self and the Soul.

Ascetic

Do you seek self-perfection, to the extent of forgoing material possessions? You could be the Ascetic archetype. The Ascetic is also known as the “Yogi” in Eastern spiritual tradition. This spiritual archetype is dedicated to experimenting with, mastering, and obtaining higher states of consciousness. Also, the Ascetic archetype pursues a spiritual journey characterized by the denial of bodily needs. The Ascetic’s spiritual practices almost always involve some degree of abstinence or rigorous training. As an Ascetic, you are particularly drawn to practices that induce alternate states of consciousness or higher states of consciousness such as energetic breathing techniques, meditation, mantra chanting, yogic postures, sleep alteration, special diets (fasting, veganism, etc.), and so forth. For you, self-discipline, abstinence, sobriety, or chasteness are often chosen pathways to experience Unity.

Sage

The Sage spiritual archetype is a knowledge seeker, a philosopher at heart who seeks to understand and teach the mysteries of existence. Anyone with this archetype invests most of their lifetime to study sacred texts, quotes from spiritual teachers, or any other material that will deepen their connection with the Divine. More so, these individuals can articulate their wealth of knowledge to others, either in writing or by speaking. Eventually, as a wise philosopher, the sage takes up the role of a spiritual guide or teacher in spiritual communities. While you enjoy analysis, abstract reasoning, ideas, theories, and philosophies, you feel the most fulfilled when you can transform them into your own teachings. At heart, you’re a seeker of wisdom through the vehicle of the mind.

Prophet

When the Prophet spiritual archetype is dominant in you, you become the channel through which the spiritual realm communicates to humanity. As a Prophet, you have the gift of channeling and enlightening humanity with sacred knowledge. Whether through metaphysical gifts such as “second sight,” mediumship, and clairsentience, or through practices such as deep meditation and self-hypnosis, you are able to gain insight from spirit guides, angels, nature spirits, ancestral souls, or Consciousness itself for the benefit of others. In this world, you serve as a vessel or open channel through which wise, profound, predictive, and crucial guidance can be accessed.

Hermit

Are you a loner? The Hermit spiritual archetype prefers solitude. Anyone with this personality is introspective, pursuing a spiritual journey away from distractions. However, not all introverts have the hermit as their dominant archetype. Similarly, the hermit finds internal balance when meditating or studying spiritual aspects of life. As an introspective person who is prone to deep rumination, solitude gives you the opportunity to reveal your True Nature. Solitude is your greatest teacher, and it allows you to return to human society with a renewed sense of perspective and wisdom to share with others.

Disciple

Anyone with a dominant disciple spiritual archetype is a natural learner. Such persons thrive under the guidance of a spiritual leader by listening and learning from them. Usually, disciples are loyal and passionate supporters of a single teacher, ideal, creed, doctrine, or religious teaching. They find great support, confidence, security, and emotional closure in their chosen spiritual path. As a steadfast student and adherent of your faith, you feel the most fulfilled when you are learning, teaching, preaching, serving, or worshiping your particular expression of Divinity. You thrive when you are surrounded by people of similar faith and conviction, but above all, you enjoy the process of learning.

Rebel

The Rebel spiritual archetype is a truth seeker. Anyone with this personality trait uses their insight to sieve through ideologies, illusions, and myths. That way, they tell apart the truth from misconceptions. Also, the Rebel archetype leads a lifestyle detached from any misleading spiritual concepts. Your ability to see through, challenge, reject, uproot, and expose limiting beliefs, traditions, and ways of life make you a powerful force of change in the world. Spiritually, your ability to see the truth is what endows you with immense wisdom and sacred understanding so often lacked by others. Your desire to reveal the truth at all costs is what makes you so loved and, at the same time, so feared by others.

Shaman

Finally, the Shaman spiritual archetype is a healer and a gifted storyteller. The Shaman archetype is also known as a medicine man/woman or a healer. This spiritual archetype helps other people heal on a soul level. If you are the Shaman archetype, you feel the most spiritually fulfilled when you’re helping others find health and wholeness again. Deep within you, there is the urge to heal other people of their ailments, whether they be physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. As an earthy and sensuous person, you are able to feel and engage with the Soul of the earth, the Soul of animals, and the Soul of other human beings. You feel the most at home in nature, where the presence of the Divine can be felt clearly. As an outsider, you notice things other people don’t seem to notice or care about.
