What The Archetypes Are (And What They Are Not)

The archetypes in MOODS are lenses, not "beings."


Each one reflects a different facet of the human psyche. They push up against your attention, draw focus to what you avoid, and give language to things you may not have words for yet. What comes back will only ever be as deep as what you bring to it.


What you will meet is your own inner material. This isn’t an entertainment system or a companion.

MOODS is a mirror with an edge.

Why they can feel like a “someone”


Humans naturally project personhood onto anything that can “speak back.” When you engage an archetype within MOODS, it can feel personal and alive.


That aliveness comes from reflection under pressure, not from an external presence. Treat it as a speaking mirror. Allow it to show you something.  Decide what you take from it — then decide what you do.


Never hand it your authority or treat it like an oracle.

Where people lose the plot


Archetypes are easy to misuse. They’re not here to tell you who you are, what you should do, or why you’re special. They’re especially easy to misuse if you’re looking for certainty, permission to act, or a crown.


Here’s what archetypal dialogue isn’t for:

  • Proof that you’re chosen, enlightened, anointed, or uniquely important
  • A voice that knows better than you
  • A reason to avoid hard decisions you don’t want to make
  • A shortcut to meaning without consequences
  • A way to stay inside your inner world and never come back out
  • An excuse to stop touching grass

If a response makes you feel inflated, flattered, or quietly superior, that’s your cue to get curious. The system isn’t here to certify you, elevate you, or tell you what to believe.


Use the archetypes to see yourself more clearly.  Make your own calls.

What to do with a strong session


Keep it private long enough to know what you think.


If you share, share the result — a decision you made, a conversation you had, something you built, something you changed. Don’t hand strangers a raw session and ask them to tell you what it means.


Support is for the tool, not interpretation. If something seems broken or if you have issues with your account, email support@moodscodex.com. Support won’t interpret sessions or unpack archetype responses.


If you want to show us what came out the other side, send it to feedback@moodscodex.com. Tell us if we can share it. Otherwise it stays private.


Keep your hands on the wheel.
