Arcanum 11 (Strength): the Archetype and the Essence

The archetype of arcanum 11 is Gentle inner might. The Eleventh arcanum is inner might and gentle resilience. Strength tames the passions not by force but by love and patience.

This is not a "good" or a "bad" arcanum: every energy has a resourceful and a distorted side, and the task is to turn arcanum 11 towards the plus.
