Jack and the Beanstalk: The Climb Between Worlds in the forum Mythology, Archetypes & Folklore 2 months, 3 weeks agoi never thought about jack like this but it makes sense. trading the cow for the beans… that’s the moment he said “i’m done surviving like this.” that’s initiation. then the climb… when u leave behind what u know, and u can’t see the top yet but u feel the pull anyway. other ppl might call u crazy, trading ur materials for spiritual gro…[Read more]

Jack and the Beanstalk: The Climb Between Worlds in the forum Mythology, Archetypes & Folklore 2 months, 3 weeks agoOn the surface, Jack and the Beanstalk is a tale of poverty, luck, and adventure. But when viewed through the lens of Netism and ancient myth, it becomes something far more profound: a symbolic journey of spiritual awakening, danger, and transformation.
The beanstalk itself is a living Axis Mundi, a vertical channel between the material world and…[Read more]

Rumplestilskin: The Power of a Name in the forum Mythology & Archetypes 2 months, 3 weeks agoIn the Netist view, a name spoken with vibration and intention has force. Certain sounds are like keys—threads in the Net that bind essence, identity, and fate. To name something truly is to enter its current. And to speak an energetic code is to access its blueprint.
The story of Rumpelstiltskin, often dismissed as a children’s fable, is in fac…[Read more]

Prometheus: Innovation and Responsibility in the forum Mythology & Archetypes 2 months, 4 weeks agoWhen Prometheus offered fire… he gave us choice. And choice… is holy and heavy all at once.
The story reminds me… every sacred gift can scar when misused. Fire, yes… and now light in new forms. Electricity. The web that became the internet.
I feel the dual edge of it. We’re more connected… and more alone. More informed… and less wise.
Prometh…[Read more] -

Icarus: The Dangers of Unguided Ascent in the forum Mythology & Archetypes 3 months agoI do enjoy joy the myth of Icarus. When relating to stepping through the veil, luckily I’ve had a strong anchor. Ive swear I surpassed this realm and the knowledge I gained felt earth shattering. Some inner truth were revealed, my path solidified to the truth. One time however, I definitely flew too high, I dont even remember what exactly happened…[Read more]

Icarus: The Dangers of Unguided Ascent in the forum Mythology & Archetypes 3 months agoThere’s a phase that comes early in awakening where everything feels electric. Your dreams sharpen, synchronicities multiply, and the veil between worlds thins. I remember getting swept up in it… channeling nonstop, barely sleeping, thinking I could live entirely in the upper realms. But I wasn’t anchoring anything… I was flying high with no…[Read more]

Who’s your favorite ancient deity? in the forum Mythology & Archetypes 3 months agoFor me… it’s always been the ones who walk the edge between worlds. The ones with one foot in light and the other in shadow. There’s an old symbol I carry in my mind… a figure with owl eyes and serpent hair. She reminds me of the old goddesses of death and rebirth, like Hekate, or Changing Woman from my own lineage…

Sisyphus and the Eternal Climb in the forum Mythology & Archetypes 3 months agoIt’s not about reaching the top. It’s about how we climb. I can admit I don’t always enjoy the climb, some days are hard to get through, but that boulder isn’t going anywhere no matter how much we hate it, gotta plough through.

Icarus: The Dangers of Unguided Ascent in the forum Mythology & Archetypes 3 months agoThe myth of Icarus is often told as a simple warning: fly too close to the sun, and you’ll fall.
Icarus and his father, Daedalus, crafted wings from feathers and wax to escape imprisonment. Daedalus warned his son, “Don’t fly too low, or the sea will swallow you; don’t fly too high, or the sun will melt your wings.” But Icarus, exhilarated by fl…[Read more]

Prometheus: Innovation and Responsibility in the forum Mythology & Archetypes 3 months agoIn Greek mythology, Prometheus is the titan who defied the gods to uplift humanity. He stole fire from Olympus and delivered it to humans, an act of rebellion against divine authority and a symbol of radical compassion. For this, he was punished brutally: chained to a rock, his liver devoured daily by an eagle, only to regenerate each night. The…[Read more]

Sisyphus and the Eternal Climb in the forum Mythology & Archetypes 3 months, 1 week agoIn Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a cunning king who defied the gods, twice cheated death, and thought himself cleverer than the divine order. For his arrogance, he was condemned to a unique and brutal punishment: to push a massive boulder up a steep hill, only for it to roll back down each time he neared the top. Forever.
Sisyphus is often seen…[Read more]
