Can someone give me a quick rundown on Jungian archetypes?Isn't

That's Junginan archetypes being used in a literary context.

Basically, the archetypes are what Jung believed to be cultural and psychological universals.

These archetypes belong to the psychic collective unconscious shared by humans and manifest via human expression which is influence by this unconsciousness.

Almost like Platonic Forms honestly, though specified a bit differently.

Is that James Gandolfini?

Jung would say the conventions/tropes are inspired by universal symbols/figures/archetypes that come from the collective unconscious.

It's based on astrology. No, seriously. Jung based his "scientific" "theory" about personalities on astrology.

There's a reason why no-one today takes him seriously.

>"Since you want to know my opinion about astrology I can tell you that I've been interested in this particular activity of the human mind since more than 30 years. As I am a psychologist, I am chiefly interested in the particular light the horoscope sheds on certain complications in the character. In cases of difficult psychological diagnosis I usually get a horoscope in order to have a further point of view from an entirely different angle. I must say that I very often found that the astrological data elucidated certain points which I otherwise would have been unable to understand. From such experiences I formed the opinion that astrology is of particular interest to the psychologist, since it contains a sort of psychological experience which we call 'projected' - this means that we find the psychological facts as it were in the constellations."

Try reading it again.

Stop reading Campbell and read man and his symbols

Nah you are wrong. He did not believe it 100%, only expressing interest and suggesting that others follow suit

i've been reading a lot about witchcraft lately. i've read a lot of primary sources and have found them insightful and psychologically interesting. does that mean i beleive in witches?

take your own advice.

Yeah, no. His affirmation of astrology is very clear, not only in the passage quoited but in many, many other pieces. The fact that you doubt this simply proves that you don't know anything at all about Jung.
