About the Course
The Mythic Self is a slow-crafted, art-driven journey through 10 tarot archetypes—from The Fool to The Wheel of Fortune—each one paired with a creative project that acts as both offering and initiation. With reflection rituals, mythic maps, and visual symbolism exercises, this course honors neurodiversity, creative fire, and sacred trauma as gateways to soul reclamation. You won't just learn. You'll remember.
Excerpt
Lesson 01: The Fool
You are not broken. You are becoming.
We begin at the cliff’s edge. No map, no guarantees—just the flicker of instinct and a sky that whispers Leap. The Fool isn’t foolish. She’s brave enough to trust the unknown. In this first ritual, we uncover the parts of you that are still wild, untouched by shame or story. Then we make something with it. Something sacred. Something yours.
