Workshop: Unlock Your Creative Block with the High Priestess

Hi little coven. Earlier this week, I shared a Note about the High Priestess, The Greek Goddess Persephone, and my own regular descents into darkness.

I have many favourite versions of this card. The one I’ve found most compelling lately is the Mythic Tarot’s take, which casts the Priestess as Persephone.

I, too, spend half my year in the Underworld.

Those descents can’t be blocked out on my calendar, they don’t follow an annual pattern. My stolen seasons occur in snatches that turn into slipstreams, caught in the undertow - bouts of executive dysfunction & neurodivergent burnout I can’t always predict or manage, a ceaseless news cycle that makes whatever I can plan for feel deeply unimportant, the run of the mill energy sucks that come with being human, the undercurrent of depression that flows beneath it all.

I’ve wondered how Persephone handles the whiplash of moving between the extremes of life and death, wondered if some part of her loves the cycle of sinking and coming up for air. Wondered if some part of me loves that, too. After all, it’s nice to go to ground, to hide in the dark, to let the world get on with itself without me. Then again it’s nice, too, to be alive.

I explored similar themes in a workshop I hosted last year titled Unlock Your Block with the High Priestess, and writing about the card this week brought all the juicy reflections from that course back to the front of my mind.

So, I thought I’d bring Unlock Your Block out of the vault and make it available to you now.
