The imagery is understood according to Gilbert Durand's anthropology focused on the images and cultural symbols. Data were collected through the instrumental called Archetype Nine Elements Test - the AT-9, given by Yves Durand, and also through the "Listening Pedagogy".

This group showed up the prevalence of mythic-symbolic representations with synthetic structure, namely to harmonize opposites, with a mystical tendency that means a seek for union.
