Understanding Your Archetype
Images sourced from Pinterest
Goddesses of Healing are innovative, knowledgeable, and progressive thinkers. While they are highly intelligent, they are also deeply intuitive, and they wed their practical abilities with their inner voice. They understand that the body is a source of wisdom, and they know how to tap into the power it holds to facilitate healing—on a physical, mental, and emotional level.
Goddesses of Healing are passionate about humanitarian work and dedicated to making the world a better place. Some Healing Goddesses may work as nurses, doctors, or therapists. Others may work with herbs, plant medicines, and Indigenous remedies, while others may do healing work on a spiritual and ancestral level. Whatever their speciality, Healing Goddesses are vital members of society and truly goddesses on earth. They teach us to care deeply for others, and ourselves.
