Archetype is a Jungian term championed by Joseph Campbell that refers to images that speak to all cultures in the same language. As I prepared to write my master's thesis on angels as archetypal images, before I dropped out during the meltdown over my mother's suicide, the most intriguing data I came across was the theory that angels were actually aliens. The fiery chariots, their wings and halos, were explained, along with giant earth paintings in South America and the wilds of Great Britain, by this concept. Smacks of Fox Mulder. I'll bet he knew who Carl Jung was.
