PRINCESS, PRIESTESS, GODDESS, WITCH
A four-part exploration of the archetypes of Feminine Power in western consciousness
For centuries our stories of feminine power have been fragmented, distorted, or hidden away: the Princess trapped in her tower, the Priestess banished from her temple, the Goddess relegated to myth, the Witch burned at the stake.
And yet—these figures live on in us. They whisper through our dreams, our desires, and the ways we move through the world. They are not relics of the past, but living archetypes that continue to shape how we understand power, beauty, authority, and freedom.
This course is about reclaiming them.
Over four weeks, we’ll step into the stories of the Princess, the Priestess, the Goddess, and the Witch—not to romanticize them, but to see them clearly. We’ll explore their history, their shadow, and their enduring presence in our psyches. Through depth psychology, myth, and cultural reflection, we’ll uncover how we might engage with these archetypes in ways that are healing, empowering, and deeply relevant to your sacred feminist journey.
What exactly is this series about?
This seminar series is designed for sacred feminists and seekers who are longing to authentically understand and connect to the Feminine. It’s based in my years of scholarship tracing the forms of these archetypes through real myths and real women. No prior expertise is required, but this is no fluffy class on feminine self-confidence. This is deep dive into discerning the truth nature and power of the archetypes of the Feminine. This series will:
-
Introduce you to the most moving stories of these archetypes, and how they can animate and guide your individuation.
-
Help you to untie the knots of patriarchal influence on the archetypes of the Divine Feminine, and how to reclaim their authentic meaning.
-
Enliven your own path of sacred feminism and offer pathways to inspire your own spiritual practices.
Plus, you can opt to join the complete series or sign up for just one.

Meet your instructor...
Mariana Louis is a professional tarotist, writer, and archetypal educator based in New York City. Her journey with depth psychology and archetypes began with the discovery of a little book called The Undiscovered Self by Carl Jung in her grandfather’s attic library, which led her to the pivotal decision to pursue a master’s degree in Western Intellectual Traditions with a focus in archetypal theory.
Soon after Mariana launched Persephone’s Sister—a platform for psycho-spiritual education and tarot guidance, blending depth psychology, sacred feminism, and witchcraft.
