Great Mysteries: Archetypes of the Gods

Great Mysteries — Archetypes of the Gods

The PsiTrends archive presents this material as an archetypal method for looking at a life, relationship or business question through figures from ancient mythological traditions.

How the method was structured

1. Formulate the question

The first step is to clarify the situation and define a concrete question or intention.

2. Choose an archetypal lens

A mythological figure or tradition is used as a symbolic perspective for associations, reflection and new ways of seeing the problem.

3. Translate symbols into action

The useful part of the reading is brought back to practical observations, decisions or experiments that can be tested in ordinary life.

Traditions represented in the archive

The source material references Egyptian, Greek, Scandinavian, Taoist, Maya/Aztec and Kabbalistic archetypal systems.

Egyptian archetypes

Isis is associated with communication and non-obvious solutions; Hathor with support and beginning; Maat with balance and checking a situation; Thoth with learning and perspective; Horus with action; Ra with scale and vision; Osiris with endings and letting go.
