Archetypes

 

 

You’re here to know your Sacred Self.

We use the wisdom seven distinct Archetypes to help you do that.

But first, what is an Archetype?

In short, it’s a “sacred shorthand”,  a way to describe a lot by using just one word.

An Archetype is a universally recognizable “bouquet” of characteristics  common to the human experience.

When you look, you can easily see these characteristics in yourself.

Other systems that use archetypes include Jungian dreamwork and analysis, astrology, tarot, and the Enneagram. “Pisces” is an archetype, for example.

There are many, many archetypes.

We work with these archetypes:

  • The Girl Child
  • The Mermaid
  • The Priestess
  • The Queen
  • The Tantrika
  • The Warrior
  • The Wisdom Keeper

 

 

You have the “magic” of each of these seven archetypes within you. Everyone does. And that means two things.

First, your personal formula or configuration of Archetypes helps you understand your unique nature and the path you walk.

Second, since everyone has these Archetypes, it helps you feel connected and part of a vast community. It builds compassion and relatability.

So, learning this Archetypal language allows you to have your cake and eat it too. You will know your unique nature, and also maintain a sense of profound belonging.

Ultimately, understanding your own Archetypal constitution shows you three things:

  • how to offer your work to the world
  • how to honor your Sacred Self
  • how to honor the Sacred in everyone

Intrigued by the archetypes & the art of anointing?

Get started by learning how to use these seven Archetypes in potent rituals that honor the seasons and the Sacred Self.
