The addict is often linked with the gambler archetype, as either can spin out of control with excess. It depends on your wounding.

It is the part of you that keeps reaching for something—substances, patterns, people, work, screens, intensity—to soothe, numb, or fill an ache inside. It is not “bad” or broken at its core; it is a part that is trying very hard to feel okay with the limited tools it knows."

You have a genuine longing: for relief, connection, aliveness, God, or escape from unbearable states. It is always looking for “more” or “away from pain, or beating the odds. You are seeking something: relief, numbness, intensity, connection, oblivion, God, meaning, or a way out of pain, until you find safe or soul-aligned pathways.

Gentle reflection questions for your inner Addict

(These are for awareness and compassion, not diagnosis or treatment.)

1. When you feel the urge to reach for your go-to escape or comfort, what are you actually feeling or avoiding in that moment (boredom, grief, fear, loneliness, shame, overwhelm)?
2. What are you truly longing for underneath this pattern—connection, rest, belonging, meaning, pleasure, relief, God?
3. Are there healthier outlets for relief of your pain, such as creative work, healing, spiritual practice, and relationships? How might you gently increase your devotion there?
4. Sometimes how this pattern began can soften shame and open space for responsibility and support?
5. Are you open to different coping tools such as therapy, a tribe, an honest conversation, or setting more boundaries?
6. Can you find any comfort through prayer, meditation, nature, breath, movement, or creativity—without needing the addictive pattern?
7. What is one tiny, compassionate change you could make this week that honors your need for soothing and your desire for long-term wellbeing?

I pray for you to find peace this day and for healing the wounds of your past. May you find compassion and true help along your journey. Know that we are rooting for you and love you no matter what you choose this day."

The Alchemist takes what is heavy, painful, or stuck and transmutes it into wisdom, growth, and new life.

In the six-core system, the Alchemist is an expression of several root energies working together:

• From the Mystic, it receives its connection to the unseen: sensing energy, working with ritual, prayer, intention, and subtle realms.
• From the Sage, it draws understanding of patterns and processes — knowing that true transformation follows inner laws and rhythms.
• From the Seeker, it brings curiosity and experimentation: trying new tools, paths, and practices to see what truly shifts things.
• From the Liberator, it frees what has been locked in shame, fear, or stagnation — releasing life force from old forms and stories.
• From the Nurturer, it holds a safe container for change, so nothing essential is harmed while what is false is dissolved.
• From the Devoted, it stays with the work over time, returning again and again until a new, truer form can hold.

Reflection questions for your inner Alchemist

1. Where in your life are you currently standing in the “in-between” — something old is dissolving, but the new has not fully formed yet?
2. What raw material (pain, fear, grief, limitation) is your Alchemist inviting you to transform, rather than avoid or numb?
3. How can your Mystic and Sage work together here — what do you intuitively sense, and what do you clearly understand, about this transformation?

Seeks to right the wrongs of the world, or to get even and punish.

Avenger energy needs to get even, punish, and teach a lesson. Like elephants, they never forget being wronged and must have their wounding validated over and over again. Revenge is more important than life itself.

Some questions to consider:

Do you need others to fully validate your pain before you can move on?

Do you secretly enjoy the idea of punishment when someone hurts you?

Do you hold resentment so long that it becomes part of your identity?

When you feel hurt, do you move toward healing or toward retaliation?

Do you ever disguise resentment behind helpfulness, politeness, or a smile?

Transformation occurs after learning to forgive and reestablishing a connection with spiritual morality. 

The medium vibration avenger is often subtle and will appear to be a helpful and smiling person, while inwardly quite resentful. They have learned to hide the outward signs of their vengeance, but they will often still curse you. Be wary.

Christel Nani

Avenger energy seeks to right the wrongs in the world through extending compassion or to get even, punish, and teach a lesson. 

Avengers need to be right, and need you to see that you have wronged them, and they need to get even. This obsession leads to curse-throwing, or wishing ill on a person. In this shadowy place, the avenger becomes consumed by rage and revenge, re-enacting harm rather than healing it.

Unfortunately, most Avengers die before letting go of their need to punish a wrongdoer--they must have their pain and betrayal validated. Avengers haven't learned how to protect themselves without punishing others.

In its healed form, the Avenger becomes a courageous advocate: using its fire to protect the vulnerable, name harm clearly, and work for justice and repair in ways that also honor its own body, heart, and soul.”

The Avenger is fiercely devoted—to a person, a principle, a community, or a wound that must not be ignored. When getting even for being wounded, actually or just in their mind, the anger will become punishing and at times, quite dark, leading to cursing another. Sadly, this energy will boomerang back to the one who throws the curse.

SOME HEALING TIPS TO UPGRADE YOUR AVENGER.

Before asking “Who is right?”, ask: “What hurts?”

Learn to feel and tend your own pain: “I was hurt, disappointed, scared, disrespected.” Shift the focus from proving you were harmed to caring for yourself.

Ask yourself: “What outcome actually brings peace here?” • Sometimes that’s repair or an apology. Sometimes it’s a boundary. Sometimes it’s letting go.

Become aware of the cost of always needing to be right (chronic conflict, exhaustion, stuck identity), and consider making a different choice.

Make a new choice between payback and victory, or freedom and intact personal power. Ask: “What would truly free you—an apology, or being able to move on with your power intact?” My worth is not on trial here, I could choose safety and dignity, not just victory.

Ask yourself: “What is my soul learning here? Where is the Divine in this?”

•Discover where your loyalty lies: Are you Devoted to healing, fairness, and truth—or to staying injured and superior? Stop repeating the same argument or punishment loops. Take a walk, pray, listen to music, but stop the recurring nightmare.

“Your Avenger isn’t wrong for wanting justice. But it's time to choose: is being right more important than being healthy and happy? Is teaching a lesson the most important thing you can do with your life? --Christel Nani, RN-Medical Intuitive, "Sacred Choices"

Abstains in order to focus, or to dissociate from life.

It's important to be aware of the level of vibration of your celibate.

Attend to the vibration of your celibate.

Amen.

Can you set aside distractions in the service of a sacred purpose?

Do you use solitude to deepen your purpose, rather than to avoid intimacy or experience?

Are you able to tell the difference between holy focus and fearful withdrawal?

Does restraint help you grow, or does it become a way to avoid life?

Finds courage, or becomes stuck in fear.

Fear-based paralysis and the illusion of powerlessness [victim energies] can keep a coward stuck, not just in your personal life, but in society as well. For example, Corporate silence during safety scandals can occur when organizations avoid action because they fear financial loss, reputational damage, or legal consequences.

Do you let fear keep you from speaking your truth?

When you feel threatened, do you freeze rather than act?

Do you create worst-case scenarios in your mind and then believe them?

Do you avoid change because the unknown feels too dangerous?

Do you tell yourself you have no power, when choice may still be available?

In what areas of life do you feel too afraid to move forward?

Are there places where fear has become a way of life rather than a passing feeling?

If your soul is calling you to move beyond your fear, may I pray that you listen?

Amen

The Empath isn’t a separate core archetype; she is a living blend of Nurturer and Mystic, often flavored with Devoted and Seeker. Her gift is feeling and translating energy — turning sensitivity into compassion, insight, and care. When an Empath learns boundaries and self-trust, she becomes one of the most finely tuned expressions of these core frequencies.

The Empath is primarily:

• Nurturer: She feels others deeply and wants to soothe, support, and hold space. Her sensitivity is often used in the service of care and protection.
• Mystic: Her sensitivity isn’t just emotional; it’s energetic and intuitive. She can read a room, feel what’s unspoken, and sense subtle shifts.

Often, but not always, she also carries:

• Devoted: A loyal, “I’m here with you” presence, sometimes to the point of self-sacrifice.
• Seeker: Trying to understand — “Why do I feel so much? What am I meant to do with this?” — which sends her on a healing and spiritual journey.

Questions for the Empath

1. Sensing and energy. When you walk into a room or connect with someone, what do you notice first — emotions, tension, unspoken needs, shifts in energy? How does your inner Mystic translate what you feel into understanding?
2. Nurturing vs. over-giving. Where does your Empath naturally step into the Nurturer — listening, soothing, holding space? At what point does that care tip into over-giving, caretaking, or self-abandonment?
3. Devotion and boundaries. Who or what are you deeply devoted to right now (people, causes, clients, Spirit)? How can you honor that devotion while also setting boundaries that protect your energy and nervous system?
4. Carrying vs. witnessing. In what situations do you tend to carry other people’s emotions as if they are your own? What would it look like to shift into compassionate witnessing instead — being present without absorbing?
5. The Seeker’s journey. How has your sensitivity sent you on a quest — into healing, spirituality, energy work, or self-discovery? What is your Empath currently seeking: relief, tools, belonging, purpose, or something else?
6. Body as an antenna. How does your body communicate your Empath limits (fatigue, tightness, headaches, fogginess, overstimulation)? What practices help you clear, ground, and return to yourself?
7. Empath in purpose. Where does your Empath nature feel like a burden, and where does it feel like a sacred gift? How might your work, creativity, or service shift if you treated your sensitivity as a core part of your purpose?
8. Calling in support. Which of the six core archetypes — Sage, Liberator, Devoted, Mystic, Nurturer, Seeker — does your Empath most need right now for balance? (For example, Sage for clarity, Liberator for boundaries, Nurturer for self-care.)

Journeys deep into one's soul, or simply isolates himself.

The Hermit is not a core archetype in this system, but a quiet expression of Seeker and Sage—supported by Mystic, Devoted, Nurturer, and Liberator. In shadow, the Hermit hides, disconnects, or uses isolation to avoid intimacy and responsibility. In its healed form, the Hermit is sacred solitude: a season or space where you step back to listen, heal, and realign with your deepest truth, so you can re-emerge clearer and more grounded. The Hermit is the part of you that steps back from the noise so you can hear your own soul, needing solitude, time in nature, and conversations with God.”

The Hermit is less about hiding from life and more about finding a vantage point where truth and inner guidance become clear.

• Seeker (core) Turning inward on purpose, choosing solitude as a path of discovery: “Who am I, really, beneath all the roles and noise?”
• Sage (core)

The Hermit often matures into the Sage. Time alone, reflection, and honest self-inquiry ripen into perspective, discernment, and quiet wisdom. The Hermit is the one who steps back so the Sage can see clearly.

• Mystic Using aloneness to feel the Divine, intuition, and the “still, small voice” more clearly. The room, cabin, cave, or walk becomes a moving sanctuary. The cave, cabin, or retreat space becomes a temple.
• Devoted Healthy Hermit energy is devoted to truth and inner alignment. It says, “I am willing to step back from the crowd to stay true to myself, my soul, and my path.” This can look like sabbaticals, retreats, or seasons of quiet.
• Nurturer: When healthy, making solitude an act of care: rest, reset, and nervous system repair, rather than self-exile.
• Liberator: stepping away from others’ agendas and projections so you can remember your own rhythm, needs, and path.

Light expression: Sacred solitude, clear boundaries, deep reflection, and renewed clarity. Time alone becomes medicinal—a way to return to yourself, your truth, and your Source.

Shadow expression: Isolation, withdrawal, or emotional shutdown. Using aloneness to avoid intimacy, conflict, responsibility, or vulnerability. Getting stuck in the cave and forgetting to come back out.

Reflection questions for your inner Hermit

1. Where in your life do you feel a genuine longing for more space, quiet, or time alone right now?
2. What is your Seeker hoping to find or understand in this season of stepping back?
3. How can your Nurturer make your solitude feel supportive rather than punishing—what would caring, replenishing aloneness look like?
4. What insights has your Sage already given you in past Hermit seasons? What did you see more clearly only after you stepped away for a while?
5. Where might your current Hermit energy be tipping into shadow—avoiding conversations, decisions, or relationships that actually need your presence?
6. What simple practice could your Mystic bring into your alone time (walks, journaling, prayer, meditation, art) to turn it into sacred, not just empty, space?
7. How is your Liberator using this Hermit phase to free you from roles, expectations, or patterns that no longer fit?
8. When you imagine eventually emerging from this Hermit space, what one shift or truth do you hope to bring back with you into your everyday life?

The Knight is not a core archetype but a powerful expression of several core energies — primarily the Liberator and Devoted, with threads of Sage, Nurturer, and Seeker. The Knight channels courage and loyalty into action, protecting what matters and standing for their values. In this way, the Knight shows us how our inner Liberator and Devoted can move from intention into embodied service.

The Knight is the part of you that rides toward what matters, armor on and heart alive. This archetype channels courage, loyalty, and protection into action.

At its core, the Knight is a living blend of your six core frequencies:

• From the Liberator, the Knight receives the drive to defend the vulnerable, challenge injustice, and free yourself and others from what harms or limits.
• From the Devoted, it draws loyalty, vows, and the willingness to keep showing up for a person, purpose, or path — even when it’s hard.
• From the Sage, it inherits a higher code: acting from discernment, ethics, and inner truth rather than impulse or ego.
• From the Nurturer, it carries a quiet tenderness beneath the armor — the desire to protect, to safeguard, and to create a sense of “you are safe with me.”
• From the Seeker, it is always on a quest: testing itself, growing through challenge, and discovering who it is through the journeys it takes.
• When the Mystic is present, the Knight becomes a spiritual warrior — guided not just by outer rules, but by inner guidance and a sense of sacred mission.

Light expression: Courageous, honorable, grounded in service. Protects what is true and life-giving. Uses strength in alignment with heart and wisdom.

Shadow expression: Over-identifies with saving or rescuing. Fights battles that aren’t theirs, burns out, or uses “honor” to avoid vulnerability and rest.

Reflection prompts

1. Where in your life is your inner Knight currently riding in — what or whom are you trying to protect?
2. When you feel called to “fight” for something, is your Liberator leading from love, or from fear and reactivity?
3. What sacred vows has your Devoted energy made (consciously or unconsciously), and do they still serve who you’re becoming?
4. What would change if your Knight took counsel from your Sage and Mystic before acting — what battles would you choose, and which would you lay down?

Delights and enchants, or deceives to gain power over others.

“The Magician is not a core archetype in this system, but a dynamic expression of Mystic and Sage—supported by Seeker, Liberator, Devoted, and Nurturer. In shadow, the Magician manipulates, performs, or uses spiritual and psychological tools to control or escape reality. In its healed form, the Magician becomes a conscious co-creator: collaborating with Spirit, wisdom, and love to shift energy, transform patterns, and bring new possibilities into form.”

• Mystic (core)

At its center, the Magician is Mystic energy in motion. It works with the unseen—intention, symbols, energy, prayer, synchronicity—and trusts that what is invisible shapes what becomes visible.

• Sage (core)

The Magician also carries Sage: it studies patterns, laws (spiritual, psychological, energetic), and understands how “cause and effect” work on subtle levels. It doesn’t just feel magic; it understands how to work with it consciously.

• Seeker

The Seeker in the Magician is curious about what’s possible: “How can I create with Spirit? How can I shift reality from the inside out?” It experiments with tools, rituals, mindset, and embodiment.

• Liberator

A healthy Magician uses power to liberate—shifting limiting beliefs, releasing stuck energy, opening new paths. In shadow, it can manipulate, deceive, or control.

• Devoted

True Magician energy is not a one-time trick; it’s a practice. Devoted shows up as consistent work with ritual, meditation, healing, mindset, or creative process.

• Nurturer

When grounded, the Magician uses its gifts in caring ways: for healing, protection, and the flourishing of self and others, not just for ego or spectacle.

Reflection questions for your inner Magician

1. Where in your life do you already notice your Magician at work—using intention, ritual, mindset, or energy to create change?
2. What situation in your life is most calling for transformation right now? What would “shifted” or “healed” look like there?
3. How can your Mystic and Sage collaborate—what do you intuitively sense about this situation, and what do you clearly understand about the patterns involved?
4. What small, practical practice could your Devoted Magician commit to for 21–30 days (a daily prayer, journaling, visualization, candle ritual, affirmation, or somatic practice) to support this transformation?
5. Where might your Magician slip into shadow—trying to control others, rush outcomes, or avoid real feelings or conversations? What would your Sage advise instead?
6. How can your Nurturer make your magic more compassionate and sustainable—for your body, nervous system, and relationships?
7. What does your Liberator want your Magician to help you dissolve or release (a belief, identity, fear, or loyalty that no longer serves)?
8. If your Seeker could design one playful experiment with your Magician—something small but meaningful to test what’s possible—what would you try this week?

"THE Martyr is not a core archetype, but a wounded expression of Devoted and Nurturer, shaped by Liberator, Mystic, Sage, and Seeker. In shadow, it over-sacrifices, equates love with suffering, and abandons its own needs to save or stabilize others. In healing, this same energy becomes sacred devotion that includes the self: a willingness to care deeply and stand for others, while also honoring personal boundaries, needs, and joy.”

Core energies for the Martyr

1. Devoted (core)

This is the Martyr’s main root. The Martyr is saturated with devotion—loyalty, commitment, willingness to stay and suffer for others, a cause, or a role. The problem is not the devotion itself, but where it is directed and how much of the self is sacrificed.

1. Nurturer (core)

The Martyr is usually an over-stretched Nurturer. It carries, cares, and holds far beyond its capacity. Healthy Nurturer says, “I care for you and for me.” The Martyr says, “I’ll disappear so you can be okay.”

Strong secondary energies

1. Liberator

On the bright side, this energy can stand between others and harm, or take a costly stand for truth and justice. In shadow, it can stay stuck in suffering and oppressive dynamics because pain has become familiar or meaningful.

1. Mystic

Some Martyrs spiritualize their pain—“Suffering makes me worthy/holy/lovable.” When healed, Mystic invites a new story: you are loved and held without needing to abandon yourself.

1. Sage

As Sage grows, the Martyr begins to see the pattern clearly: where sacrifice is truly called for (healthy Devoted/Nurturer) and where it is a reenactment of old wounds, conditioning, or family roles.

1. Seeker

The turning point is when the Seeker asks, “Is there another way to love and serve than losing myself?” That question begins the shift from Martyr into a healthier, boundaried Devoted–Nurturer.

God is your passion, or you escape into drugs and out-of-balance practices.

I AM SPEAKING TO YOU if you are seeking a direct relationship with the Divine, and if you feel and listen for the unseen--intuition, signs, dreams, energies, synchronicities. The Seeker, Nurturer, Devoted, Liberator, and Sage will shape how you express yourself--as a Priestess, Monk/Nun, Shaman, Alchemist, or everyday loving soul in conversation with the divine.

1. Devoted – Gives you consistency and commitment for prayer, ritual, spiritual practice, and service.
2. Seeker – Drives you to explore traditions, tools, and inner landscapes; to keep asking deeper questions.
3. Sage – Helps you discern: what is true guidance vs. fear, fantasy, or projection.
4. Nurturer – Keeps your energy grounded and gentle, so spiritual life also cares for the body, heart, and nervous system.
5. Liberator – Uses spiritual insight to free yourself and others from shame, fear, and constricting beliefs about God, self, and reality.

The peacemaker represents the philosophical voice and goals of a society with the intention to inspire people to create the best that a society can become. The shadow side is fully represented in the character of Hitler. On a smaller scale, this is part of the personality that attempts to inspire others to follow goals for selfish reasons, political/social/financial gain. 

A good is example of a peacemaker is Jimmy Carter.

Questions life in order to better it, or drifts into empty existentialism.

• Seeking meaning in life and the world... asking the big questions, and searching for meaning.
• Pursuing questions that may not have definitive answers
• Thinking beyond ordinary reasoning toward the transcendent
• Understanding life itself, not just collecting facts

Contrast with others you might lean toward.

• A scholar loves learning for its own sake
• A detective seeks facts to solve a problem
• A philosopher seeks understanding of life and existence

A hearty trailblazer, or an egocentric explorer.

An explorer follows the unknown and goes beyond the familiar. Star Trek, anyone?

This archetype doesn’t just dream of elsewhere; it starts walking. You step beyond the familiar and follow the pull of the unknown, refusing to stay inside your inherited boxes, inherited roles, and limiting beliefs. [See Sacred Choices for the limiting beliefs or boxes.] You don't wander like the wanderer archetype; you learn about spiritual paths and guide others to see what you have found. Your journeys bring wisdom, and you recognize the encouragement of your spirit in synchronicity, dreams, and signs along your path.

Take heed, however, that you don't become a restless runner who avoids commitment.

Reflection questions for your inner Pioneer/Explorer

1. Where in your life do you currently feel the pull of “there must be more than this”? Is it about work, place, relationships, spirituality, or how you live day to day?
2. What are you most curious about right now—and what is one small, concrete step your Pioneer could take toward exploring it?
3. How can you support this exploration—what do you need (money, rest, planning, companionship, boundaries) to explore without burning out or blowing things up?
4. What did you learn the last time you followed the unknown?
5. Where might your Pioneer–Explorer be in shadow—running away instead of moving toward? What would you choose if the goal were real freedom, not just escape?
6. If you sat still and listened, what signs, synchronicities, or inner knowings have already been nudging you in a particular direction?

I pray for your journeys to be fun and exciting and a means to help your spirit grow, and that you stay aware of when you are running away and not dancing toward. Be at peace."

Engages ritual to understand God, or embodies superstition.

A priest / priestess is a trustworthy bridge between Spirit and life, holding that space with integrity, humility, and care, creating an invitation for others to find their own wisdom rather than making herself the source.

And for those seeking out the priestess, watch for her to use mystery to feel special or above you.

Reflection questions for your inner Priestess

1. Where in your life do you already feel your Priestess at work—holding space, trusting intuition, or tending the sacred in quiet ways?
2. What are you most called to honor, protect, or serve?
3. What practices help you feel most connected (ritual, prayer, nature, movement, altar work, divination, song, silence)?

Pay Attention: Where might your Priestess be tempted into shadow—performing spirituality, over-functioning for others, or avoiding your own human needs?

Christel is asking...

Engages their own innate power apart from the throne, or makes immature use of power.

The key is to discover/develop inherited power; hence the seeker energy.

Some questions to explore your vibration meter:

1. When you don’t get your way, can you throw a hissy fit better than anyone around?
2. Have you ever been called high maintenance?
3. Are you picky/particular?
4. Do you feel confident in your ability to take care of yourself (financially, emotionally, spiritually), or do you dream of someone else taking over this role and doing it for you?
5. Do you tend to be a bit lazy, preferring someone else to do the heavy lifting?
6. Do you like to be pampered or catered to?
7. Do you control people by your snits, prissiness, or bitchiness?
8. Do you feel personally powerful, or do you just like being around power?
9. Do you think pink is a great color?

Prostitution takes many forms, such as when we sell our bodies or minds for money or when we compromise our morals and ethics for financial gain. We prostitute ourselves when we remain in circumstances that endanger our well-being because we have put power before honor.  From this archetype, we learn the great gift of never having to compromise our body, mind, or spirit ever again for a secondary gain.   A high vibration prostitute is  “Not for sale!” Seek your truth.

"Trading your values, body, or integrity for security, approval, money, or power will ruin you. Please, reclaim your self-worth and choose honor over gain."

Christel Nani

The Queen is the part of you that sits in sovereign authority over your own life. She knows her worth, tends and protects her realm, and leads with both backbone and heart. Or becomes entitled and cares more about image.

Some questions for a deeper understanding of your inner Queen

Do you show up again and again, for what truly matters?

Where have you given your crown away — allowing others’ opinions, expectations, or fears to rule your choices?

Do you protect and create spaces of safety, nourishment, and growth for yourself and others?

Are you making decisions that consider long-term wellbeing, not just short-term comfort?

Do you use your power to uplift and protect others?

Do you listen inwardly and are you guided by intuition, prayer, and a felt sense of alignment with the Divine?

Do you continue to evolve, willing to grow and learn?

Light expression: Grounded, gracious leadership. Clear boundaries. Generosity that does not self-abandon. Uses influence in service of healing, justice, and flourishing.

Shadow expression: Control, entitlement, martyrdom, or emotional withdrawal. Over-responsibility for others’ lives, or neglect of her own needs while managing her “kingdom.”

**I pray for the Queen to feel loved while in service to protect and guide others, never forgetting who she is, nor the great responsibility placed lovingly in her hands. We know that Heavy is the head that wears the crown, so remember to care for yourself."**

The healthy firefighter, officer, or paramedic, or one who needs to feel needed and loved.

Please do come to our aid when we are in genuine need. Please don't try to earn love, worth, or an identity by enabling a dependence on you. We understand that you need to feel needed...but there are other ways to achieve your goal.

Please don't avoid looking at yourself. Take the first step in healing your low-vibration rescuer."

Christel Nani

Evolving, helpful wisdom, or an attempt to control others.

Earn your wisdom, and please do guide others with clarity. Please don't use your life experiences to control or manipulate others.

Some questions to consider:

Have you earned your wisdom through experience or just study?

Can you stay objective and not need to control the outcome?

If you speak with authority, do so with integrity.

"The measure of a man is what he does with power." [

Plato

Loves to learn, or hides in the mental dimension.

We know you love to learn, so please do enjoy yourself with your study and reflection, but please don't collect knowledge and not use it, or use it to avoid life. You have a lot to offer to others.

"What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." 

Jane Goodall

A faithful reporter, or a source of inaccurate facts.

Are you devoted to the truth and report details with accuracty, honesty and impartiality? Or do you distort facts and use information to shame or discredit others. Time for some honesty, here.

You can tell yourself stories that remain untrue and hurt you. Choose truth.

Christel Nani

Serves others by conscious choice, not out of need.

Please do serve others with conscious choice, integrity, and care. Please don't serve out of fear, obligation, or a sense or belief that you have no choice.

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

Mahatma Gandhi:

"The Shaman is a Mystic-in-service: a healing bridge between worlds, here to liberate and tend souls back toward wholeness. In a low vibration, shamans manipulate, intimidate, or try to impress, pronouncing karma or a spiritual lesson as the reason for illness or distress."

This is the Shaman’s deepest root. The Shaman moves between worlds, works with spirit, ancestors, guides, and unseen energies. That is pure Mystic current: direct relationship with the invisible and the more-than-human.

The Shaman’s work is ultimately about nurturing, healing and tending. Holding space, retrieving lost pieces, clearing, protecting, and helping people come back into wholeness—this is Nurturer expressed through energetic and spiritual medicine.

Shamans free people and places from what binds: old energies, patterns, cords, curses, contracts, trauma imprints. This is Liberator working on subtle and soul levels.

We can all take journeys, but true Shamanic work is a life path, not a hobby.

-Christel Nani, RN-Medical Intuitive

Strong secondary cores 4. Sage

The Shaman learns and carries lineages, maps, and deep wisdom about cycles, illness, soul, and nature. Sage gives structure, discernment, and understanding so the work is not random.

1. Seeker

The Shaman usually begins as a Seeker—often through crisis, illness, or initiation—and keeps learning new pathways of healing and relationship with the unseen.

1. Devoted

True Shamanic work is a life path, not a hobby. Devoted is what keeps showing up for the spirits, the land, the people, the ceremonies, and the training.

A healer who empowers strength and vision, or instills fear to threaten and control.

Please do empower others through ritual, protection, healing, and spiritual vision. Please don't use fear or spiritual authority to control others.

Some questions to consider:

Do you feel naturally connected to ritual, symbols, or spiritual practices?

Are you sensitive to the energy of animals, nature, or the unseen world?

Do you feel called to protect, guide, or strengthen your community or tribe?

Have you experienced times when healing, trauma, or initiation deepened your spiritual gifts?

If you are called to the shamanic energies, please, please begin to listen to the drums and practice shamanic journeying.

Christel Nani

Understands and uses the power of choice, or feels trapped.

Pay attention to your victim archetype, one of the big four that we all share. The victim teaches us the illusion of powerlessness until we choose differently, thus empowering the slave archetype. Honor the victim archetype, one of the four universal energies we all share. The victim reveals where we have forgotten our power, and the slave archetype invites us to remember that freedom begins with choice.

To heal your slave, always look for a third or fourth option to your situation. Don't stay trapped in a rigid place. Often, a limited tribal belief has held you captive, and by asking your spirit for a solution to your issue, a more true-to-your-soul answer will be given. Consider reading Sacred Choices for more information that will guide your healing.

Christel Nani

Teaches students to think, or constrains their thinking.

Take heed, prospective teachers: In shadow, the Teacher can become rigid, ego-driven, or more interested in being right than being of service. In its healed form, the Teacher shares wisdom with humility and heart—creating spaces where others feel safe to learn, question, and grow into their own knowing.”

The best Teachers are permanent Seekers. They keep learning, asking questions, and updating their understanding. The Seeker side keeps their teaching alive, curious, and evolving.

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

William Arthur Ward

Learns forgiveness and compassion for self, or seeks endless and unattainable absolution. 

“The Transgressor is not here to destroy you. In its healed form, it is the part of you that will not betray your soul by living with guilt and angst and keeping you from a more honest relationship with yourself, others, and the Divine. It is time to step out of shame-based beliefs that you are wrong, not enough, or wrong for wanting what you want. I sincerely hope you are listening."

Core energies for the Transgressor

1. Liberator (core)
At the heart of the Transgressor is Liberator energy: crossing lines, breaking rules, refusing what feels false, rigid, or oppressive. It says, “I won’t stay inside this box,” whether that box is cultural, religious, familial, or internal.

2. Seeker (core)
The Transgressor is also driven by Seeker curiosity: **You want a more honest life that is alive and aligned with your soul.**

Strong secondary cores

3. Sage
When healthy, the Transgressor draws on Sage to discern which rules are life-giving and which are dead or harmful. Sage turns it from reckless rebel into conscious edge-walker.

4. Mystic
Spiritually, the Transgressor may break inherited religious or spiritual taboos to find authentic connection with the Divine. Mystic asks, “What is actually true for my soul?”

5. Devoted
There’s often a fierce devotion to authenticity, freedom, or a personal code: “I will not betray myself just to fit.” In shadow, this can become devotion to shock, chaos, or self-sabotage instead of real freedom. **Pehaps God is calling you to grow, heal, and see your life in a different way.**

6. Nurturer
When underdeveloped, Nurturer is missing and the Transgressor crosses lines that harm self or others. As Nurturer grows, this energy learns to ask, “How can I honor my need to cross this line and care for wellbeing and safety?”

"I pray for all transgressors to let themselves off the hook and free up valuable energies to help our world and each other... Amen."

1. What line are you crossing?
When your Transgressor shows up, what specific rule, role, or expectation are you crossing—cultural, family, religious, relational, or your own?

2. What are you seeking?
Underneath the behavior, what is your Seeker actually hungry for—freedom, truth, aliveness, pleasure, authenticity, belonging, or a more honest relationship with the Divine?

3. Is this harm or liberation?
If you listen to your Sage, does this transgression move you toward greater wholeness and truth, or does it quietly damage trust, safety, or integrity (your own or others’)?

4. What are you saying “no” to?
What system, story, or inner rule is your Liberator refusing (for example: “I must always be the good one,” “I can’t question authority,” “My desire is dangerous,” “I have to stay small”)?

5. What are you secretly loyal to?
Where is your Devoted energy going—are you devoted to authenticity and soul, or unconsciously devoted to chaos, shock, or reenacting old wounds?

6. Where is care missing?
How could your Nurturer bring more protection and care into this edge-walking—through clearer consent, boundaries, communication, or choosing a different way to express your need for freedom?

7. What does your soul say?
If your Mystic sat with this impulse in prayer, meditation, or ritual, what guidance would you receive about how to honor your truth without abandoning your integrity or compassion?

8. What is the liberating alternative?
If your Transgressor, Liberator, and Sage designed a more conscious act of rebellion here, what might it be—a boundary, a conversation, a decision, or a change that moves you toward real freedom r

Helps people recognize the absurdity of life, or is angry at failure.

Do you use humor to reveal the truth or help others see more clearly, or do you tease to wound and avoid responsibility?

Cartoons anyone?  Universally celebrated as the greatest trickster in pop culture, known for turning the tables on hunters and villains with wit, cross-dressing, and puns. I am...

Bugs Bunny

A high sense of justice and honor, or a criminal.

Do you use your strength to protect, or to choose integrity over wrongdoing, or to steal, exploit, or commit crimes mentally or financially?

Nuance to differentiate between Villain / Soldier / Warrior

A villain makes a moral choice against corruption, a soldier chooses loyal service to a group, and a warrior chooses a brave defense [courageous action] of the vulnerable.

Think outside the box, please. A whistleblower is actually a villain/crook archetype in high vibration.

Christel Nani

Willing to see all future possibilities, or afraid to look.

Can you imagine our world if Leonardo da Vinci — imaginative, original, and ahead of his time, were afraid to look?

Let's not forget spiritual visionaries like Joan of Arc — visionary in spiritual conviction and fearless action, and

Teresa of Ávila — visionary mystic and spiritual reformer.

Buck up with your courage which is found when you make one thing more important than your fear [of looking].

Seeks out new places and experiences, or runs and never completes anything.

Can you break free from routine and a fixed identity? You are NOT who others claim that you are. Your archetypes can help you grow spiritually and emotionally and create more joy and less pain in life.

Freya Stark — explorer and travel writer known for venturing into remote regions, who discovered the inner freedom that comes from venturing into the unknown. Thank you, Freya, for teaching us:

That travel can enlarge the mind and spiritual perspective

The value of independence, courage, and curiosity

"Remote places and unfamiliar peoples often reveal more truth than assumptions do."

Freya Stark

A protector, or a force of cruelty.

A protector of the tribe, you display courage in your fight for justice and the protection of the weak. Joan of Arc embraced her archetype at a young age. "I am not afraid... I was born to do this." (Perhaps her most famous statement, summarizing her fearless acceptance of her divine mission).

Dearest Warriors, I pray that you speak up when it matters most.

Amen

A burning desire to advance society, or one who harms society and steals others' research.

Do you like to discover how things work or create something new? Please do... can you imagine if Marie Curie didn't embrace her archetype and her scientific discovery and groundbreaking research never came to fruition? You wouldn't recognize the life you know in the 21st century.

“We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something.”

Marie Curie
