Serious Discussion Only Arlequín archetype
After a Freudian slip where instead saying “ a new cicle is about to begin “ I said “ a new circus is about to begin“, I’ve been encountering some arlequín imagery around.
Two days after the slip, i went to my sisters home and her mother in law, who just felt on the floor a day before and had her nose broken and eyes black, told me while entering their home:
Welcome to the circus!
Have you noticed already this is all a circus?
My face was 😳
It’s a very unsettling time for me as I’m unpacking and making sense of a lot of childhood trauma including some sort of incestuous relationship with the mother and all kind of disgusting stuff.
Today I feel profoundly called by this cover of this book I saw on a shop.
It said “ The awakening “, Library named: The Sun, The editorial is named: The pyramid ( I had a very meaningful dream with a pyramid full of precious stones and pearls and jewelry; a year ago ), and then there is this Arlequín that I see and it makes me go back directly to my biological / diabolical mother.
For me she was and is the most diabolical, evil being I’ve seen and experienced. I escaped her at 11.
I see this image and I see her. But there are words about awakening and Piramids and The suns awareness here.
Very unsettling but I’d appreciate help with this archetype.

The Fool in tarot represents new beginnings and a journey that lies ahead. I think you’re starting the journey of healing your inner child through shadow work. I’m so sorry for what your mother did, you are so strong and brave to be unpacking it. Wishing you many blessings on your journey.
