You Have Power

You were born with tremendous power because you embody one or more archetypes, even if you don’t know it.

What Is an Archetype?

Definitions vary. For example, some people believe archetypes are useful metaphors, while others believe archetypes are living beings and other actual forces.

In any case, archetypes are figures, ideas, symbols, etc., that humans innately recognize and see as powerful.

There are many archetypes. Each has its own strengths.

Here are some archetypes: Gods, Goddesses, mythic heroes, clowns, Fairies, winged horses, and other animals of both this world and the fantastic realms. The possibilities are endless. The range is wide, from dragons to tricksters.

Why Is Knowing Your Archetype(s) Important?

Tapping into your archetype(s) brings forth the power and wisdom to achieve your goals.

Discover Your Archetype(s)

Perhaps you need to discover one or more of your archetypes. Or you need to better understand and use them.

During Archetype Coaching, we can accomplish all that.

Unleash Your Archetype(s)

Knowing your archetype(s) is only the beginning.

We will empower your archetypal aspect during Archetype Coaching, even if you’ve never heard of archetypes until now.

If you already know your archetypes and use them effectively, we will bring that to a new level.

You will receive Shamanic practices to
* Build your particular archetypal power
* Maximize your use of it

This two-pronged approach gives you immense force and finesse. The combination helps you overcome challenges and actualize goals.

I Channel Shamanic Practices Especially for You

Whether you’re new to archetypes or need to reach the next level of archetypal power, I channel Shamanic practices specifically for you. The lessons apply to who you are right now, who you strive to be if you want to change, what suits your current situations, and your life goals.

Live a Mythic Life

I live in myth and help others do the same. What do I mean by living in myth? It is far more than I can cover in this post, but here are some salient points. Living in myth means:

* A life larger than roadblocks and discouragement might convince us is possible

* Reaching dearest goals, despite discouragement and opposition

* Gods repeatedly granting the strength and determination to rise up and go for the win, like heroes in myths

* Knowing that life is far from perfect but still good and worth the fight. Myths teach us that life has great harshness, we can’t get every thing we want, and we can reach a lot of our significant goals and be a happy person.

My Decades of Shamanic Experience with Archetypes Will Help You

For a quarter of a century, I provided Archetype Coaching, when it was relevant in the Shamanic classes that I teach and Shamanic counseling I give. Then, in 2013 (or perhaps earlier), I had a vision. It guided me to offer counseling about archetypes as a service unto itself, in a one-hour session.

Then, I coined the term Archetype Coaching to better represent this longstanding part of my work.

So, almost 40 years of experience helping people discover and unleash their archetypes will inform your session with me.

Before those 40 years, I had other experiences with archetypes:

The Fairy Secrets of our Pagan Ancestors Are Practical

My mother raised me to be a Witch.

Our Fey life was secret. Few people around us saw it, including my siblings, who lived in the same household. These secrets are noticed only by people who sense them. Do you sense the truth of my words?

For centuries, Fairy secrets have quietly been part of society.

I lived in a mythic home from my first breath. In our shared myth, Mom imbued me with the Fey-touched ways of her ancestors.

Archetypes were always part of my life. They were to be lived, the way eating is not relegated to theoretical ideas but is part of the everyday. Much like I learned to hold a spoon as a part of daily life, I learned archetypes.

Throughout my childhood, I learned more and more about archetypes by living in mine.

Being raised this way helps me make your session powerful and down-to-earth. So you reach worldly goals.

  1. Francesca’s work always seems so subtle at first experience and then it isn’t. Everything is different. And by different I mean deeper, better, more aligned, more potent, more honest more empowered.

    If what you seek is gratuitous glamour or super serious can’t-laugh-at-yourself spirituality with the rigidity of other traditions, look elsewhere. Francesca’s spiritual teaching is highly practical which means it necessitates a healthy willingness to accept our humanity and foibles and even recognizing that so much of our personal power can even derive from those quirks. Don’t reject your genius! The world needs your beauty.

    I agree with the other reviewer who talks about Francesca leading her students to discover for themselves. That is one of her most precious gifts as a teacher. She has helped me to become independent while in community. Interdependency is not co-dependence or counter dependence.

    And don’t worry, If you are not a fit, she will tell you so. I’ve been present for such conversations. The woman’s got integrity which is vital in such deep and delicate work.

    • Thank you, sweetie. You always make such positive comments re my work. I am so grateful! And thank you for taking the time to write a lengthy comment. I know you are a busy woman.

  2. Many moons ago in the far off land of San Francisco, I took Tarot training with Francesca. She didn’t give us a list of pat interpretations to memorize. Instead, she had us go home and think about knives and cups and DISCOVER what they meant TO US! That’s the essence of Francesca’s work: she leads you to explore yourself and the divine (tomato-tomahto), using archetypes that are at once timeless and deeply personal. If you want someone to give you simple answers, go someplace else and waste your money, but if you want a guide into the deepest forests of yourself, work with Francesca. The real work of magic is within us and Francesca can lead you to it.

    • I want you to write my promotional copy. Joking aside, thank you, you always have understood my work, and that is a priceless gift. And, heh, I think folks waste so much $$$ going for pat answers, so it is nice to hear someone say that, bc no on wld believe it if I say it. 🙂 I think yr comment is also important bc some folks think if you’re powerful, you don’t need a teacher. You’re one of the most powerful people I know, and one of the most committed to a spiritual approach. Powerful people love to learn from other powerful people! I learn from you: Watching you face life with serenity and compassion is an incomparable role model. PS, your post is beautifully lyrical.

  3. Working with my archetypes has helped me recognize my unique strengths (empathy! courage!) and wrangle with some bad habits (procrastination!) in a very effective way. I’ve felt empowered to go after my dreams as a result.

    • Ange, it goes both ways. Watching the enthusiasm and integrity with which you work with me is inspiring in return. You throw yourself into life, so bravely and passionately. So thank you!

  4. Doing archetype with Francesca has been very rejuvenating for my spirit. A great way to tap into other energies for self-discovery.
