C.G. Jung pioneered the exploration of archetypes as a means of connecting to the deeper world on the journey towards wholeness. Exploring ourselves, the deeper world, and the external one through an archetypal lens allows us to develop wisdom about the nature of existence. They are forms that cannot be reduced any further, whose force is purely of them. They combine in myriad ways to create all things.

Archetypes are the foundational spirits of the universe, with consciousness and will of their own. Archetypes are at the very core of everything here in Covina.

They are living, breathing and conscious forces that are enlivened in Hekate's many epithets, dreams, the cards, astrology, plant medicine, magickal correspondences, and so much more.

To understand the archetypal nature of the deeper world is to become empowered with it's magick, medicine and mystery.

Archetypes work on the everyday world as well, reminding us that there is truly no separation.

We enter into the world of spirits each day with our Quotidia, the sacred daily practice that includes igniting the Sacred Fire of Hekate, meditation, and oracular work, that I teach in my school.

You can find a brief version of Quotidia here.

My class on The Archetype of The Witch can be viewed here.

Both are also available on the Keeping Her Keys YouTube and as podcast episodes on most major platforms.
