Come and explore the Council Suit in our SoulCollage® gathering!
What to Bring
You will need to bring your cardstock, scissors, glue stick and a journal and a pen.
You will need to have something for the base of your cards. You can use some large index cards or card stock from a craft store. You can also make 5X8 card stock by cutting a cereal, cracker, or any other box that may work– I use boxes that contain my file folders at times. I also have SoulCollage sets that you can purchase some card stock (5×8 thick index cards, mixed media journal, spiral bound 5×8 index cards) or order a kit of Soul Collage cards here
More on the council suit…
Seena Frost, creator of SoulCollage ®, describes Archetypes as, “the invisible guides, challengers, creators, and destroyers, known across time and cultures by many names, yet being somehow universally in the collective unconscious of the human race.”
This Council suit embodies the larger story; they invite us into the unknown; cosmic energies that take different forms; basic building blocks of stories.
The word archetype itself comes from the Greek word arkhetupon for first mould or model, meaning the initial version of something later multiplied.
An archetype is an original pattern, model or symbol, a persistent representation of an idea or concept across cultures which seems to represent common patterns of human life.
The council suit connect us to the larger field of life (the warrior, the Hero, The Lightbearer, The Great Mother, The Great Father, The Divine Child, The Creator

“The inner guides are archetypes that have been with us since the dawn of time. We see them reflected in recurring images in art, literature, myth, and religion; and we know they are archetypal because they are found everywhere, in all times and places.” Carol S.
