Guidance of the Gods

Guidance of the Gods — archetypal reading

The PsiTrends material describes using ancient archetypal systems as an additional perspective on a situation. A person chooses a tradition and formulates a question; symbolic material is then used to reflect on possible solutions.

Traditions and symbolic systems

The archive lists Greek, Egyptian, Scandinavian and Taoist pantheons, Maya/Aztec imagery and figures from the Sephirothic tradition.

Process

1. Define the goal

Clarify the problem and formulate a question or objective.

2. Archetypal perspective

Use the chosen tradition as a symbolic frame for associations, prompts and possible actions.

3. Integration

Translate the material into observations and actions that can be tested in the real situation.

Runic line

A separate six-session block uses rune pairs — Fehu; Uruz and Thurisaz; Algiz and Raidho; Wunjo and Mannaz; Kenaz and Gebo — as a sequence from possibilities and movement toward support, self-evaluation and expression of ideas.
