😍😍😍 Oh wow, thank you so much!
Would also recommend a few books I have enjoyed reading around Archetypes. 45 Master Characters, The Writers Journey, The Hero Within, The Heroines Journey. Some of those are writing related, however they were fantastic resources for my magical path. Mythology. That gave me some entry way to look at Archetypes and experience them through different forms of Magic. I really love the film exercise. I am coming into the archetype of the Valkyrie at the moment. Also Carol Myss and her Archetype Deck is a great tool to dive right into the Archetype journey of exploration as well. I have similar feelings around The Damsel in Distress, and the Archetype. Love this video so much. Just takes me deeper into the journey and I love it. Especially reflecting on the archetypes of men and correlation towards abusive people.
Oh, Carrie's mom disgusts me SO much, and reminds me of a few people in my life that were very religious and abusive. The people who bullied Carrie made me so angry, as I was bullied throughout my school years. Carrie made me reflect on my own anger and rage towards abuse. There were times I went into my imagination, and set fire to the people who abused me, or the people I cared for.
As a youth I looked to the bad ass warrior woman archetype (She-Ra, Cat Woman, Xena Warrior Princess, Sailor Scouts, Artemis) to try and build those qualities within myself. I never really saw myself as thick-skinned, or tough growing up. In reality I was quite a tough cookie, but I didn't give myself recognition for my own fiery qualities. I've had my moments of bravery in confrontations, to be fair, but I never believed in my own power as a youth. I now know that there was a great deal of gaslighting going on that led to me having confusion about my personal narrative and identity growing up...it's so good to be on the other side of that. Lagertha and Daenerys definitely inspire me nowadays to embrace my personal sovereignty with trust and faith. :)
For as long as I can remember The male archetype I've always had an affinity for is the wise wizard... Merlin, Gandalf, and Dumbledore. The knowledgable bearded ones. I think I have an invisible beard.
You are so skilled with explaining concepts. This video basically summarizes decades of odd and ends I have pieced together about archetypes, shadow work, the self and magical constructs. It took such a long time for me to put these thoughts together and you just spilled it all out into the ethernet in the most eloquent and logical way. Brava Bella! This is why I keep coming to your channel. Yes, I would enjoy more on any of these topics. It's also a big treat to see your altar tours. Muahs!
I could also recommend joining up a Gaming community like a Table Top RPG world, or a Role Playing site like RP repository if you want to explore archetypes, magic and writing together with other people. This has helped me, and other people I know. There is such magic in exploring different communities, and worlds.
uuuh, i would be so interested in your alternativ Praying cards process....Please consider doing it!!!
I've always been an avid daydreamer - like for as long as I could remember, and as I grew older I began to notice that my daydreams have strong archetypal elements to it - like I could always observe the characters I was interacting with and the storylines that I was exploring in my imagination and gain levels of self-awareness that I didn't have before. Like I would look at the character that I wanted to embody at a particular time and I would come to understand my emotional needs and what was going on in my psyche. I don't think I've realized that I might have always been doing imagination exercises/ visualization exercises/ pathworking with the archetypes in my life. Some of the archetypes that I like to embody in my "dream realm" are: the trickster / the rebel that punctures the pretense and judgement of society, the healer that brings out epiphanies and soothes the wrinkles of somebody's soul, the warrior princess that is both beautiful and fierce, the whimsical wayfarer that dwells in the "in-between" spaces. I think I'd also been a vampiress at certain times in my life ahahahahha.
Anyways. Thank you for the two videos about archetypes! I've always been in love with archetypes and I've always explored them actively but this is really taking my perspective and understanding to a totally different level...especially since recently I've started working with the akashic records and I'm realizing that I am actually very fluid in "traversing the different dream spaces"...something I've never recognized in myself. And also recognizing a few new "old" archetypes that have always existed in my imagination but never in my conscious understanding. E.g. I've always known I love the trickster and the rebel and the inner child archetype but I never thought the warrior princess archetype was a big one - yet it's probably the biggest archetype in my life!! Something I just realized recently.
ANYHOO ESSAY FINISHED!! Thank you again for this video!!!!!! You inspire me. xoxo
Heck yes artistic/alternate prayer cards!
Double yes for more archetype chats. This info struck a chord with me like nothing else has in my year of studying. Thank you for "permission" to honor the fictional characters that I resonate with. It's honestly more helpful than the normal advice.
I love your videos! You always provide tons of great information and inspiration. Please consider filming the making of your alternative prayer cards. That sounds like an awesome project.
Thank you for talking about the damsel in distress issues, I've had that my entire life. Dad prioritized one of my sisters due to her mental and emotional issues and figured my other sister and I didn't need him as much and then I ran into the same issues with relationships. I was either "the man in the relationship if I ended up with men who couldn't hold their own or I'd find men who wanted to be someone's emotional knight in shining armour and would leave me for women who were mental and emotional messes. I've always had certain story characters that don't exist, certain Greek & Norse Gods and Goddesses including the fiery Goddess Pele, Pagan deities, etc.. I thought I was the only one. A long time ago, I did a video about how I found, resonance, connection, and inspiration from book characters in all of my fantasy and sci-fi books. Thank you for doing this video. I feel less isolated. LOL You re always my "go to" for inspiration and confirmation about myself and my eccentric ways. ♥️🙏
Sounds like you have the Warrior Goddess in you! That is beautiful!! May she always support you in your strength!
Kaiishatah Thank you! ♥️🙏🙂
@@RoseFerrachi I think Malificient strength will sure embues you.
I'm so glad you mentioned Frodo, I'd like to work with that character at some point. He's very special to me, and I see a lot of hatred for that character. To me Frodo represents the one who struggles in silence, specially with depression. When he tells Sam that he can't remember the taste of food or the feeling of grass, that all he sees is that big eye, watching him (i'm paraphrasing here, can't remember exactly what the quote is) I always thought 'yup, that's what it feels like to be depressed; when you can't even remember the joy things like food or music or anything feels like anymore, all you feel is despair. Many people see Sam as the 'true' hero of the story and like to see themselves as Sam, the simple, good-hearted positive helper, because is nice to see oneself like that, but not that many people want to see themselves as the one who needs help, the one who struggles and sometimes fails. But those are the reasons why Frodo resonates so much with me. Cause he's flawed, but he did his best, and assumed the responsibility that noone else could or wanted to assume.
I have decided to make my list of archetypes...I thought it wouldn’t be long at all but guess what, it is growing and growing!! I have included Mother Nature on it and also some animals I always loved and had respect for...Korben Dallas is on it as well !! :-)
You have made me obsessed with Jung, Kelly-Ann... and I have loved every moment of this never-ending obsession! Thank yoooou!!
Great video, I love working with archetypes. A fun exercise can be to find connections between the characters in our various oracle and tarot decks, and in favourite books, and to see if we can "group" them together into the archetype they're expressing. (And it's fun to see how many of them overlap, too...)
Of course, if you ACTUALLY group all your oracle and tarot cards by archetypes, it can be job and a half to get them all back in order again!! 😆
Haha, oh my, it would be a labour of love to get all my cards back in order after that! But somehow I feel it would be worth it! :D
Finding the connections, the interplay and the overlap between archetypes is LIFE!!
That's such a great idea... that would be quite a work of love and dedication! Have you done it before?
I did it once when I had fewer tarot decks. Now that my collection has grown, it would be a much bigger job! But a worthwhile one, I think...
oonagh Aww, thanks - although there’s so much more on archetypes to be examined... a never-ending course of study,
I've borrowed "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" and I think I am going to use many ideas of this video combined with that book, that I discovered thanks to your channel!
This video made me think about my obsession with Tyler Durden, I love the idea of working with him.
Kelly-Ann! This video really resonated with me. So good. So practical. I’m going to go explore my inner Lara Croft now.
Lara is my favourite ❤️
19:09 And that's part of what magic is [...] utilising your imagination to give yourself an experience that you would not have had in any other way and taking the meat and the juice and the pith from that experience and allowing it to transform your life.
An Art Witch Video On Your Alterative Prayer Cards Would Be Awesome!!!
You are so stinkin' awesome and precious! Thank you for being Unapologetically You and for sharing your journey. You are bold and beautiful, baby cakes! I am grateful to have found you along my path. I like to think that one day we will be able to sit and have tea and chat together. 😊 Until then.. Blessed Be.
P.S. You MUST start adding links to where you are getting your lovely bits of jewelry from! I LOVEEEE your ring!!! 😍
P.S.S. YASSSS art witch episode, please!
Oooh that's a great idea, shadow work using archetypes. I hadn't thought to use archetypes that way, I think that would be super useful for me.
Yes on the art witch alternative prayer cards video! 🙌
Very interesting! I never worked spiritually with archetypes (bc didn't quite know how and like you said, everyone is always working with deities) but i love Lagertha and have Daenarys Targaryen as my phone screen. They're very inspiring as a women for me :) Aragorn from LOTR feels to me like the perfect symbol of the divine masculine, how a king/leader should be.
And YES to the alternative prayers video! Sounds fun!
Im in your Aragorn camp 😄
yay! :D
plus your name ahah
Wow talk about synchronicity or whatever it's called! For the last few months I've been channeling Lagertha before I head to counseling to work on some PTSD issues and was looking around for something in addition to keep up that battle ready feeling and this video gives me so many ideas! Thanks! Also, truth be known, it has set my mind at ease bc I thought I was getting disturbingly obsessed the way I reacted to the bs Ragnar pulled in the series. I guess I'd been pulling her into me or the other way around and became personally offended. How funny is that! Love your videos, alternative prayer cards would be absolutely fabulous to visit with you about!
Maaaaate, I was offended as SHIT when he left her. 😤😟😖 Glad the video helped you!
I had always felt very shadowy about the mother archetype until I started working with the character Morticia Adams... I love her 🖤
I loved this! Your prayer card was interesting. I wasn’t aware there was such a thing in Catholicism; seems super handy! My first year back at witching, I had pics of Tia Dalma and The Ghost of Christmas Present (the young one with the long dark, curl hair and open, green robe (😆). I framed them and put them on my altar and used them as you describe here! Why not....the deities were created in a similar way I suspect. There is also an archetype deck created by a psychologist I believe. There is a whole process the creator describes in the book for using the deck. They’re called “Archetype cards” by Caroline Myss. Thanks for the great video and ideas you share Kelly✨
Love this Kelly and YES to more Art Witchery!!! ♡♡♡
Please do an Art Witch video on alternative prayer cards-this sounds amazing! An in depth look at the cycle breaker archetype would interesting too. Thank you so much the great content you share with us. 💖💖💖💖
Thank you for this video. You mentioned going into video games.... I think this is a fantastic idea. I recently bought Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and let me tell you, the feeling when I finally came across a temple of Artemis in the game world... it was unreal.
Also, I’d be so interested in seeing an episode on those alternative prayer cards!
Agreed!
Same!!!
Me too
Me too!
I love this video kelly-Ann
When I was little I love Star Trek TNG - I used to imagine that the enterprise was secretly observing Earth of the past through a worm hole and that they would one day come and take me to explore galaxies with them 😂
Picard was very much the “father” archetype I needed and looked to. But Tasha Yar was who I wanted to be. She was a Warrior but had so much sexuality in an almost androgynous kind of way. I identified with that archetype a lot! When she died I was heartbroken hahahaha.
Child play is all about playing with the archetypes and it’s such a shame we are told to squash this side of ourselves and lose the natural storytelling as adults.
This is such a juicy topic 😊❤️
You cannot find empowerment in something you don't value... Very inspiring video, Kelly-Ann -- I feel some shadow work coming on :)
Amazing video! :) I have been watching your channel for a few years now... I think this is may be my favourite episode so far.. I love the idea of working with archetypes.. I have only ever done that kind of thing a few times... like for instance I once did an invocation of Jimmy Page the night before a gig with a band I hadn't played live with in several years... we were filling in a slot with no practice beforehand (I don't know why I said yes because that's really a set up for a disaster). Anyway somehow, we not only pulled it off but it was widely considered one of the best shows we ever played. I will likely work with this idea some more in the future... the results are usually pretty spectacular... anyway thank you for sharing this video... Blessed Be... :)
ps prayer card art witchery sounds ace..
I love working with archetype and will definitely explore it more. I have a collage of Lagertha near my altar, I love her!! I would love for you to have a video regarding your prayer cards.
What a wonderful video & great ideas! Very accessible & helpful. Thanks.
Wonderful! Tonight's journaling will most certainly be about characters and archetypes I resonate with!
More on Architypes please. LOVED this one
Love your videos! Such an inspiration to me at a point where I'm on my own road of self discovery.
Greetings! I love making alternative prayer cards! I use affirmations and go to town on typesetting and finding corresponding images to meditate on. They also make lovely gifts too! I used to be fascinated seeing the catholic ones in my auntie's handbags and slipping out of the odd book or in their address books!
The rebel, pioneer, woman beyond her time; Ann Boleyn
This is a really good video. Didn't really know what I was getting into but very helpful.
Question: Are you familiar with Integrated Family Systems therapy? Since undergoing this type of therapy 2 months ago, I've found that I've been able to access archetypes (especially Tarot archetypes) in a way that completely opens up a new internal frontier for me. I would love to hear you discuss this psychology/spiritual practice overlap!
Excellent video. I work with archetypes in my Magical practice and I'm happy to inform my interactions with more contemporary archetypes as well. Currently I'm considering indulging myself in some sacred cosplaying!!!
Hi Kelly-Ann, because you asked--and if you are still seeing comments here--I have been working with the Empress from Tarot of Vampyres ever since American Thanksgiving Holiday 2018. I trance easily to her picture from the card box or online, channel words from her, have a journal collecting with her comments on the ToV cards, have a mantra with Buddhist meditation beads, and include her in bowing to Goddess when I call a circle of 8 Goddess names. Several of your videos have been helpful, maybe especially the admission here that prayer and worship involving such obviously human-made images can feel silly or wrong. I don't know if I will get back here to see a reply, but I am on the Cartomancy Forum in the Journal section. Thanks for all you do.
Hi Kelly Ann, just hearing you talking about magic, I'm on the read of Rupert Sheldrake (I guess it's the essay titled the Rebirth of Nature in English). Anyways, all his stuff seems to be great and his scientific vision illuminates and explains everything pagan people feels and believe since the dawn of times really amazing! by the way, blessings and thank you always for being such an enriching presence here.
You mentioned Lord of the Rings - I was never able to connect to that archetype - I'm attracted to male characters that show compassion, honor, and diligence like Samwise Gamgee. He wasn't a perfect character, but he was loyal and driven
I've heard many a Tolkein enthusiast/"scholar" argue that while Frodo is the "chosen one," Sam is the actual hero of the story, so I think what you feel makes sense! Frodo isn't really a fully realized character - he fulfills a role.
@@AlchemicalEmma Exactly. Sam really is a hero. I sometimes wish Frodo wasn't two-dimensional, because he had a lot of potential for deeper analysis of his personality. But maybe that was what Tolkien wanted to point out; that the common man, like Sam, could truly do good in the world.
I believe so. It's been a long time since I've read any Tolkein, but he definitely stressed the idea of the humble Hobbits then being the ones who go on these epic quests and end up saving the world, like Bilbo or Frodo or Sam, despite all odds.
I do this type of journeying a great deal. It helps quite a bit.
I'll try to list some archetypes that I used. I used to like women who used sexuality and desire as empowerment. I liked Poison Ivy, Catwoman and Aphrodite. I even watched wrestling and soaps and for some reason liked evil, manipulative women. Stephanie McMahon and later on Lita. I slowly became attracted to flawed, strong women. More punk rock. Nancy from the Craft, Maleficent, Lara Croft. I was a geek, picked on and I was always wanting the attraction of men ( daddy issues) but popular so no one would pick on me. My Disney princesses were always Belle and Pocahontas. I always wanted to be free, explore, adventure. Belle segued into Harley Quinn. That needing to heal and love the monster. Even musically I went from pop princesses to rock royalty. I played the dumb blonde to get people to think I was so dumb I was funny and therefore cute. I was obsessed with Legally Blonde and Karen from Mean Girls. I eventually started to like wounded characters who were dangerous. Dark Phoenix, Ophelia, Willow Rosenberg, Carrie as such. I wanted people to love my wounds, my cracks. I always shifted between using archetypes that would get others to like me and who I really am. I was picked on and it took some of my softness. I'm this Stark contrast of black and white with no real grey area. I loved rowdy chicks like tank girl but knew I am more of a introverted loner. I loved Luna Lovegood, Arwen from LOTRs, Misty Day, Zoe Benson, Violet Harmon and even Madison Montgomery. It goes to show my skin to the "bitch" archetypes. Lol. (Referring to Madison.) Goddesses for me were Artemis. I loved she lived alone in the woods with her animals and chosen nymphs. Persephone reminds me best of me. I had to venture to the dark realm. It calls to me. Even genres. I get labeled a perky goth because I love love like a hippie but crave darkness and horror like goths. I love DiDi Death of the Endless and Delirium of the Endless from the Sandman series. I was never smart enough to be a geek just esoteric enough to be a nerd. I wasn't strong enough to be an athlete but I was a tomboy. I wasn't pretty enough to be popular but I was pretty enough to participate in a pageant. I wasn't so antisocial I was a loner but an introvert. A lot of the archetypes are used to be what people need of me. I'm currently working on embracing my own goddess self. Not influenced or impressed by anything. I still listen to music, watch scenes from film or movies to build my portrait on a very blank canvas with my Shakey hands. Lol. Oh!! Morgan Le Fay. Loved her. Okay, I'll stop rambling now and see myself out.
Oh!! Calisto from Xena. How could I forget?
Brilliant. I’ve watched more than 100 of your videos and I think this may be my favorite. Thank you Kelly-Ann. Yes to future Art Witch videos and Archetype videos. Thank for referencing self-surveillance - something I’m working through. Well, I have work to do. I’m going to follow your advice and find some lists and do some journaling.
Thank you for this greatly interesting and educational video. You are helping me in my journey so much!
(The actual problem is that, thinking about the characters from Vikings, I connect and resonate a lot with... Ivar! I think he's adorable. That's scary! :D )
Your input on Archetypes has influenced me to view all characters in media and the people in my life in a different light. How I am able to attach the image of archetypes to my own image, and to analyze the images of those around me has opened a whole new world of understanding and analysis. Thanks love! Blessed Be!
Just to share an archetype I love, Rey from Star Wars, very much a chosen one, and so resilient and full of love. I really appreciate this video
Ugh, so good! I totally did this last year as a recapitulation practice and, you know what, it worked because now that they're integrated, I can hardly remember what they were anymore. And YES to the punk archetypes. Ian MacKaye, Patti Smith, and Cristy Road have definitely been that for me since teens.
An idea I had to do with archetypes, is if a particular "facet" of one doesn't exist, write/create your own. Like maybe I'm out of the loop, but there aren't many lady Trickster types. So you sort of write your own, what she looks like, what she does in particular, that sort of thing. Sort of like creative writing about the Trickster you want to see in the world. Does this make sense?
(if you did mention this in the video and i missed it, sorry!)
Lol, my favorite pop culture female trickster is from the original Bewitched TV show, Endora, Samantha's Mother. I love the way she messed with Darrin with such pretentious witchy airs! Plus her costumes were fabulous!
Hello Doll, I knew you had something brilliant to offer and funny as hell. U hit on my immediate need for expansion and growth on my journey. Only a few minutes in and I'm so grateful...
This really made me think about all the characters from tv shows and movies that made me feel a certain way. It’s a great prompt for starting off shadow work 😊
Thank you for the link for the last archetype video ☺️
YAAAAAAAAASSSS Lagertha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could you make a video on archetypal narratives that we like to be part of or resonate with? And about daydreaming or the power of daydreaming, perhaps. :) I always find daydreaming extremely powerful and it's sort of a gateway / bridge / in-between-space to one's subconscious
I know why witchcraft called to me...thank you so much for this video!!
Excellent, insightful video. Thank you
Yes I did love cersi and the mother of dragons..the red witch...vs more goody two shoes...Stevie Nicks..perhaps because movies gave the more darker characters more layers..mystery..power. I often felt powerless and most movies and music growing up gave men that role (born in 75)
Oh Kelly-Ann you are a true Magician of our time!
I absolutely love love love this video! Thank you for all the amazing information and please make many more videos regarding archetypes, it's so interesting.
Haha! Great video! And, I thought all women loved Hans Solo. Guess I need some shadow work too.
😁
You're a genius. Plain and simple ❤️ and yes PLEASE do a video on your prayer cards!!
Very useful and enlightening video, as always. I absolutely love hearing you, always learn something. I'm from Brazil and although I understand english pretty well, sometimes I have trouble with british accent. It doesn't happen with you! You are very clear and I totally get what you're saying. Thank you for your videos! :)

I really needed this, thank you
I would love to see an Art Witch episode about your alternative prayer cards! Also, I love all of your videos, but this one has been even more helpful than usual!
Smashed this!
Oooh. I want a John Bonham prayer card!
This is such an empowering video, Kelly Ann!!! Wow! Thank you so much for this powerful wisdom. 🙏🏻
Sweet! I am so glad to know that this info is empowering people! :D x
I'd love to eventually work with archytpes, but I'm not sure how to allow myself to be more open to the concept - especially if I feel drawn to both ancient deities/titans and comic book characters, unless it's just something you push through with experimentation.
So helpful! thank you!
Yasss! I would love to see an episode with Alternative Prayer Cards. I love Catholic ritual and mystery and it’s the aspect I miss. I try to find ways to meld it back in with what works for me, I have my rosaries and certain images that I would love to bring back into my life withTarot. Also, love your suggestions around Archetypes.
Wahhhh I’m loving this. I think I’ve naturally done this in a more subtle way for years. Connecting with characters that have an aspect like me and kinda imagining them there with me when I need to be brave or something. I always had imaginary friends as a child too, each with a specific strength and if take that one with me to get through XY and Z difficult or fun situation. We have natural good ideas as kids right. Then society makes them wrong 😭 Again, brilliant video! I’m going to work on this!
I'd love to see an art witch episode with prayer cards 😍 loved this video!!
Lestat the Brat Prince 👑
I have always loved working with archetypes. Glad to see this video.
Yes praying cards! I love DIYs!! It'll sound really weird, but I had a dream about you recently. You were kicking my bum shouting to "move my ass". And here it is -video about archetypes. I guess I should get moving my spiritual ass :) When I was a kid (under 8 yr) I saw myself as Cinderella, I wanted to be saved because my mother was bad stepmother, abusing me physical and emotionally. Later on I had sex-crisis, because only archetypes I was identifying (adventurous, brave, funny, imaginative) were male/boys, so I wanted to be a boy myself. Later on when I was 13 and 16 I found Trinity ("Matrix") and Selena ("Underworld") and my life and style changed. I still have some blocks when it comes to mother and soft females archetypes, because of my relationship with my mother and the way sensitivity and kindness were ridiculed. And found that animal can be substitutes for archetypes, so I use "archetype" of mother lioness as one who is both loving and fierce. Another member of my spiritual "band" is Baba Yaga, bawdy and not worried about what other think grandmother, provider of thought love and wise advise. Thank you for your amazing content and kicking me in my sleep ;) Blessed Be
I guess I hadn't realized that I was doing this from childhood, the exercises in creative imagination stuff :) thanks for the video!
I love this topic! It got me thinking how similar most of my favorite characters are. Something I do that might seem a bit different is, because I collect Funko Pops, I have one of Te Fiti and another of Te Ka from Disney's Moana on either side of my alter space. I work a lot with dualities, and felt that these two figures really embody the different sides of Mother Earth. On my ancestral alter I also have the Harry Potter creature of a thestral which really helps me with the continuing grief of my grandfather. Funko Pops are usually around $10 and are pretty small if anyone is interested in doing something similar; They have a huge selection as well!
I was always into the evil queen too! I felt weird that as a child I would side with her. Specifically Snow White. And also drawn to distant, lovable rogues...which translated to people I was in relationships with. I love this stuff! 🙌🏼💓
I love the jazzy new intro for starters.
I feel very drawn to Lillith...Hmmm
I love spock...my cats name is Nimoy!
Lovely and inspirational, I adore your take on things! Please do a video on the alternative prayer cards, that sounds amazing! 😍
I can’t thank you enough for this message. I needed it today and I’ve had a few big insights just while watching.
Please do the prayer card idea for a video, that would be soooooo cool!
Star wars was def Darth Vader...Neo..interesting I resonate more with the male...crazy..making me think..i have of late been very interested in goddess archetypes...honestly been struggling until I look at darker female archetypes.
Kelly love, thank you so much for sharing all of it...I’m very new to witchcraft, tarot, my depth...so any info, ideas give me some guidance. Thank you for being you !! Sending hugs and lots of love 💕
I feel a weird attraction to the Femme Fatale archetype. I think it stems from my past suppression of sexuality or lack of self esteem for most of my late teens, early-early 20s.
Me too
Thank you so much for making this video, I've been sitting on thoughts about archetype work ever since I came across Molly Roberts' video on Pop Paganism but haven't really known where to go next. This has really got my mind buzzing and I think this weekend is going crafty. X3 I can't wait to see Art Witch episodes and more talks about this kind of work.
Please do Judy Garland for a prayer card! xoxo

New to my path here. I have been wondering about working with archetype figures and I found your September self love video and it lead me here. Thank you for this video. It is exactly what I need to hear.
I'm so happy I could help. The archetype journey is trippy and wondrous indeed! x :)
@@kelly-annmaddox very much so! It is also helpful because I'm not 100% sure about my deities yet. I have some that I am drawn to but this feels more like what I should start with.
ART WITCH! ART WITCH! ART WITCH!
yesss, i'm so excited for more archetype content 👌💥💞 i'd also love to see your prayer cards!!
One of my favorite topics to learn about!
Wow, I didn’t know I needed this, but it came exactly at the right moment. I think working with archetypes will be a good gateway drug for me starting to dig in to divinity. Does that translate? Maybe?
Hell YES, it is such a gateway drug! :D Glad it came at the right time, honey! x
