A comment by Ishira Tsubasa begged an interesting question. What archetype would Mnemosyne be? Indeed, what archetype do we think Wendy is? It matters a lot for how we interpret them.
Here's is todays question.
Here's is todays question. We have all been seeing the word Abaddon around. I am puzzled as to whether this is a reference to a place (synonym for Hades) or a person (Satan or Appylon)(sp). Or is it something else?
Edgar Allan Wright, 'Mnemosyne ' is not one individual, but a Magnus of them. I cannot see how else the Artifacts could come into being.
ReplyDeleteI think she is Trickster
ReplyDeleteI believe Wendy maybe an interpreter or at least an archetype that works with the mind. Mnemosyne has a few possiblities. She was obviously a very powerful goddess with the ability to create many things. She made The Muses, 9 inspirational goddesses of the arts, literature, and science. It would be interesting to see how these muses used exotic matter, as they clearly had some involvement in it. But what does that make their mother?
ReplyDeleteMy mind more goes to a dreamer or visionary simply because of her abilities with memories. But it is clear she could be others as well...
I think Wendy might be a catalyst. Her curious and enquiring nature is ideal for setting things in motion and triggering events as she discovers more and more things.
ReplyDeleteHer curiosity would probably lead her to set things in motion. It's like discovering the wheels of fate and making them spin by touching them and well, interacting with them.
She was taking notes on the "interactions" she was having with the Dunraven. But her notes were sassy. It was clearly not so much an attempt to just put them on paper to understand the experiment; she was trying to get a reaction from the voice she is interacting with... The same she did with the coffee... Trying to get her the "person" behind the room to do something (entering the room with the coffee... Getting a reaction from her with the "notes"). Her way of dealing with the situation was trying to get the other party to do something. Isn't that type of scheme something we would expect from a catalyst archetype?
And I think Ish's got a point about inspirational muses? But aren't those (because she inspire people to do things) very related to the catalyst arquetypes as well?
ReplyDeleteEdgar Allan Wright if we speak of only the 13 archetypes that we have knowledege about the 13 Magnus I believe she could be an Explorer and she is a curious nature, she wants to discover new paths, to find new point of view and to allow people to reach new knowledge. In many cases it reminds me of Hank Johnson at the time of the Nomad serie

Based on the descriptions listed in the resources I posted in my last comment - so far from what I have seen - I would place Wendy as maybe the Catalyst, but she might be the Explorer or the Humanist (she supposedly is a psychology graduate student, right?) She might also be the skeptic - someone brought in to be convinced...
ReplyDeleteAs I said in Essex chat, I see Mnemosyne as a Omniscient. This excerpt of the Howcraft's Tears of Mnemosyne lifted my eyebrow:
ReplyDelete"He knew not whose memories were contained within the tears, but he had suspicions. He knew that these artifacts, known in the book of Past Future contained things that echoed from the mist shrouded past and reverberated back from the glimmering future, but were valuable in the now for the past, present, future"
So, it's possible that Mnemosyne had access to memories from past and future. Can't really explain why. Was she an exogenous, living between dimensions? The Titan title could suggest that but could be "just" a powerful Sensitive. Anyway, someone with the "goddess of memory" epithet makes me think imediately in Omiscience.
About Wendy. I agree with Humanist. As innocent as she appears to be, of course. She is much driven by her instincts. She barely stood watching the video with the dead Hank Johnson,
I'll go more deeply into all of these answers when time affords, but it is clear to me that once we discover exactly what Archetype Wendy is, we'll know a lot more about the nature of DunRaven.
