← All archetypesThe Rebel archetype channels Mars' destructive-creative fire to break down structures that have become oppressive or obsolete. This is the revolutionary spirit that refuses to accept injustice, the iconoclast who tears away illusions, and the catalyst who initiates necessary change even at great personal cost.
The Rebel teaches us that destruction is sometimes required for renewal—that saying no to what harms us is an act of self-respect. They demonstrate that conformity in the face of wrongness is its own kind of violence. In their highest expression, Rebels become liberators and reformers who clear the ground for new, more life-affirming structures.
