Body Wisdom Rising

The Trickster Archetype , Disillusionment and The Second Awakening

Certainty is intoxicating, especially after a big awakening. Then the rug pulls out: a trusted teacher gets exposed, a “destined” relationship reveals its shadow, or a movement you thought was truth starts acting like the very system it resisted. I’m Alyssa, and I’m naming the force behind that pattern: the trickster archetype, the boundary crosser known as Hermes, Loki, and Ichtomi, who shows up wherever we’ve become unconscious, inflated, or rigid.

I walk through Carl Jung’s framing of the trickster as the psyche’s self-correcting mechanism and why it’s rising so loudly right now in spiritual communities, wellness and ascension spaces, conspiracy frameworks, and even UFO disclosure narratives. We talk about how counterculture can quietly become groupthink, how pedestals get built and then pulled apart, and why that collapse can feel like betrayal even when it’s also a call back to humility and truth.

From there, we get practical: what to do when your nervous system wants to grab a new ideology, why “switching sides” doesn’t solve the deeper pattern, and how holding paradox becomes the doorway to the second awakening. We explore shadow work, projection, attachment, and somatic healing as essential tools for real discernment, not paranoia. If you’re ready to stop outsourcing authority and start living from embodied clarity, press play, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.
