A search for meaning is a way to process traumatic experiences. Archetypal psychology can be applied to processes occurring within the cultural matrix of a nation to understand the meaning-making function of the collective psyche. This chapter posits that the collective meaning-making process in the aftermath of 22/7 can be understood in the light of how archetypal imagery becomes part of the collective processing of national trauma through language. Two examples will be considered: the rosetog (rose parades) and the song Barn av regnbuen (Children of the Rainbow). The meaning-making nature of this archetypal imagery will be discussed in terms of collective processes of memoralisation and potential fragmentation of meaning in the search for the collective Self.
