William Blake's mythology
#1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bl..._mythology

I've noticed the four "Zoas" into which Albion the primeval man was divided correspond quite well to the four generational archetypes:
  • Tharmas: representing instinct and strength. - Nomadic
  • Urizen: reason, conventional society - Civic
  • Luvah: love, passion and emotive faculties - Artistic.
  • Urthona, also known as Los: inspiration and the imagination - Prophetic.

Blake also depicted four feminine "emanations":
  • The sexual Enion is an emanation from Tharmas. - Nomadic "dangerous woman".
  • The intellectual Ahania is an emanation from Urizen. - Clearly Civic.
  • The nature-loving Vala is an emanation from Luvah. - Could be connected to the Artistic archetype, though she clearly is inspired by Artemis.
  • The spiritual, musical and poetic Enitharmon is an emanation from Los / Urthona. - Prophetic again.
