While reading through 'The Barbaric Triumph: A critical Anthology on the Writings of Robert E.

While reading through 'The Barbaric Triumph: A critical Anthology on the Writings of Robert E. Howard' by Don Herron, i came across the following part on page 107 which is pretty informative related to our investigation about the Archetypes and could possibly also answer some of our questions.

In 1936 Jung wrote a small book, "Wotan", in which he suggested that the German people were “possessed" (Ergriffenheit) by the archetype of the ancient Germanic god Wotan, also known as Odin, an insatiable nihilistic deity desiring ever more strife and conflict and death and women.

Jung considered archetypes to be universal patterns or motifs that emerged from the collective unconscious in dreams and visions.

He described them in his introduction to the Tibetan Book of the Dead as “organs of the prerational psyche."
However, they were capable of erupting into the conscious mind, as he described in the 1940 essay “The Psychology of the Child Archetype" - “archetypes were, and still are, living psychic forces that demand to be taken seriously, and they have a strange way of making sure of their effect.”
In other words, if an archetype was repressed, it would find a way to express itself. Jung wrote in Wotan:

Archetypes are like riverbeds which dry up when the water deserts them, but which it can find again at any time.
An archetype is like an old watercourse along which the water of life has flowed for centuries, digging a deep channel for itself.
The longer it has flowed in this channel the more likely it is that sooner or later the water will return to its old bed.
