The Archetype of the Holy Hero ✨

Welcome to Holy Week!

Welcome to Holy Week, a time traditionally observed by Christians around the world to remember the final days of Jesus’ life on Earth—his death, and ultimately, his resurrection.

It's a sacred pause in the gregorian calendar, designed for reflection, sacrifice, and the return to Spirit.

I want to offer you something a little different than what you would normally find regarding this topic.

Not through the lens of religious dogma or rigid belief systems—but through the eyes of someone who was raised Catholic, then wandered, questioned, and found Spirit everywhere.

As someone who has walked through the rituals of the Church, but also danced barefoot with the Tao, sat in silence with the Buddha, and felt the pulse of the Earth in ceremony—I’ve come to see the story of Jesus not just as a religious tale, but as an archetypal map of human grace at its highest form. What I’ve come to realize is that truth is echoed everywhere, especially in the stories that stand the test of time.

And Jesus’ story is one of them, though perhaps not in the way we were taught to see it. Instead of worshipping the man, what if we observed the model? The archetype that Jesus represents?

Instead of repeating the story, what if we became the story?

Perhaps Catholicism and Christianity got part of it right: the story of Jesus is powerful. But how many are actually living it—not in guilt or obedience, but in alignment, in devotion, in the embodied practice of Christ Consciousness?

Holy Week, to me, is not about memorizing scripture—it’s about returning to spirit. It's a moment to ask:

✨ What does it mean to be holy—not just in belief, but in being?

✨ How can we apply this ancient story to our lives today, in a way that heals and uplifts?

✨ And what would our world look like if more of us lived in union with our highest self—the one that forgives, creates, and loves without condition?

This week, we’ll explore those questions through modern lenses: Superhero mythology. Divine union. Creative inspiration. Shadow work. Sacred family bonds.

This is Holy Week—reborn.

✨The Archetype of the Savior

It’s no coincidence that Superman’s story mirrors the life of Jesus. Both were sent from another world to save this one. Both grew up feeling different, holding immense power, and yet chose to live humbly—using their gifts not for dominance, but for service.

Superman may wear a cape, and Jesus may wear a crown of thorns, but at their core, both represent the same archetype: the Savior. Not because they are worshipped, but because they reflect back to us what we are capable of becoming when we live from our highest virtues. They reflect the courage we have to stand up to what we believe in and fight for a better world.

They are both strong—but their true strength isn’t physical. It’s their compassion, humility, forgiveness, and unwavering commitment to love in the face of darkness that sets them apart. They act not out of ego, but purpose. They choose to carry the weight of the world, not because they have to, but because they can.

In a world still battling greed, pride, and fear, their stories remind us that there is another way—a higher path. One where power is not about control, but about protection. Where leadership means sacrifice. And where salvation isn’t a miracle granted from above, but a choice we make every day, within.

🧠 The Übermensch, Superman & Christ Consciousness

When I began rewatching Smallville years ago, I was also diving into Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch—the “Overman” or “Beyond-Man.” In the first episode of Smallville, Clark walks over to his childhood crush and first love, Lana Lang. Clark stumbles in front her, dropping the book, "The Will to Power", written by Nietzsche - we quickly learn that Lana wears a Kryptonian crystal on her chest (kryptonite), which if you don't know already, Clark is deathly allergic to, which is why he can never be less than 5 feet of her without looking like he's going to die. It's actually Clark's only weakness...other than magic lol.

Lana picks the book up for him, looks at the title, and curiously asks Clark, "So what are you, Clark? Man or Superman?" - this scene is probably the most iconic of the entire series, as it was used in many flashbacks, it was loved by fans, and it set the stage for the rest of the series.

The Übermensch is not someone born with perfection—it’s someone who transcends. Who rises above their limitations, not by avoiding them, but by confronting them. It’s about taking what you’ve been given—your flaws, your hardships, your circumstances, your pain—and transmuting it into something higher. Someone who doesn’t wait to be saved, but becomes the architect of a better world, starting from within.

Superman embodies this beautifully. Raised as a human but born of the stars, he could’ve ruled over the entire planet—(in fact, there’s even an episode that explores this, imagining a reality where Clark was raised by Lionel Luthor instead of the Kents… but that’s a story for another time).

Instead, he chose to serve.

Not because he had to, but because he wanted to.

Because he had the power to help, and he understood—deep down—that this was his destiny.

As heavy as that burden was, throughout the series we witness him grappling with it: the pull to live a normal, carefree life versus the call to step fully into who he was born to be. It wasn’t easy. But by the final season, we see him stop resisting. He commits. He doesn’t just have power—he earns his integrity.

With this in mind, we can then reflect on the story of Jesus, whose path reminds us that enlightenment is not about escape—it’s about embodiment. It's about walking through the fire with grace and confidence. It's about choosing love… again and again.

In this light, Superman becomes the modern-day myth of the Übermensch: a symbol not of unattainable perfection, but of what is possible when we move from lower nature to higher nature. When we evolve not just in body or mind, but in spirit.

💫 Sacred Archetypes of the Superhuman

In many ways, Jesus was my first original superhero—an embodiment of light in a world full of shadows. A man who could heal with a touch, forgive with a breath, and speak truth to power with unwavering love.

And when we look at modern mythology, we see echoes of that same energy in figures like Superman—sent from above, misunderstood, feared, and adored, with powers beyond comprehension. But even more importantly: a heart fully devoted to the good of all.

These aren’t just stories. They’re blueprints.

Whether it’s Jesus, Superman, or another mythic figure, they all serve as archetypes of what we are capable of when we choose to rise above our lower nature. They show us what it means to live with integrity, purpose, and compassion—to walk through a fallen world without falling with it.

But what is it that tries to pull us down?

🐍 The Judas Within: 7 Deadly Sins as Spiritual Saboteurs

In the story of Jesus, Judas represents betrayal. Not just of a friend—but of truth.

In our lives, betrayal doesn't always come from others. Sometimes, it comes from within—when we abandon our own light for a moment of pleasure, power, or escape.

This is where the 7 Deadly Sins come in—not as outdated religious rules, but as symbolic markers of where humanity tends to lose its way:

• Pride – the mask of false superiority

• Greed – the hunger that never ends

• Lust – the craving that turns sacred union into consumption

• Envy – the poison that robs joy

• Gluttony – the excess that dulls the spirit

• Wrath – the fire that burns bridges with unchecked emotional upheaval

• Sloth – the slow erosion of purpose

These are our modern-day Judases—subtle, seductive, and socially accepted. But they debase our species and block our access to Christ Consciousness, to the light we carry within us.

I’ll go deeper into this on Holy Thursday, the day that symbolizes the Last Supper, but I wanted to touch on something that’s been stirring within me for years—something I’ve hesitated to write about out of fear that it would come off too heavy, or maybe too serious.

But humanity is at a tipping point.

What's the point of learning about history, myth, or scripture if we’re not learning from it?

Over the past five years, the concept of the 7 Deadly Sins has kept surfacing in my awareness—not as some outdated religious concept, but as a coded message about the obstacles that keep us from our higher selves… our Christ Consciousness.

These sins—lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride—aren’t punishable offenses handed down by some angry god in the sky. They’re spiritual blockages, distortions of energy that keep us small, distracted, and disconnected from love, truth, and purpose.

And maybe that’s why I was so drawn to the final season of Smallville (Season 10), where Clark Kent—our modern-day Superman—faces off against a force called Darkseid.

Darkseid isn’t just a villain. He’s the embodiment of humanity’s deepest shadows—he preys on our weaknesses, our indulgences, and our unhealed wounds. Those who fall under his influence are marked with an Omega symbol—a dark sigil of submission.

Interestingly, in the show, children remained untouched. Which is why we should all be on the mission to protect every child on the planet, to preserve as many 'pure of hearts' as possible.

Most of the adults carried the mark being tainted by the darkness.

Why? Because somewhere along the journey to adulthood, we often lose our way. We lose our connection to the natural world. We succumb to temptation, fear, shame, guilt, and false pleasures. We are taught to survive in a world that goes against our nature. And that is what I believe Jesus wanted to teach us to move away from - the way for all of us to step in his footsteps and create Heaven on Earth with the piece of Earth we have been gifted with.

What ultimately defeated Darkseid in the end wasn't brute strength—it was Clark’s inner light - the hope that good existed in the world through each person. He was able to confront and overcome his own shadows, and in doing so, he helped others reclaim their light too from his example.

🌟 A Path Forward: From Story to Embodiment

This Holy Week, I’m not asking you to believe in something you don’t resonate with. I’m simply asking you to feel into the stories that have shaped our world—and ask:

🌀 What are they really trying to tell us?

🌀 Where do these archetypes live within me?

🌀 And what would my life look like if I remembered that I, too, carry the potential to heal, to lead, and to rise?

Jesus and Superman weren’t exceptions.They were examples.

And you, dear Hero, are not just an observer of their stories. You are the next chapter. This whole website is dedicated to being a reminder and a reflection that YOU are what the world is waiting for.

✨ A Personal Note From Me to You

I want to be real with you…

I’m not writing this from a pedestal—I’m writing from the middle of my own transformation.

I know these shadows well, because I’ve danced with each and every one of them. I'm still dancing with them now, trying to see how to move forward in strength, while correcting everything I've ignored or messed up - which is a handful. To be honest, this path is kinda drowning me in the moment as I look to change everything in my life and start making moves in front of people that scare me. But I know the lotus doesn't grow without the mud.

I’ve been seduced by lust, diving into bouts of excessive pleasure and hedonism.

I’ve let pride make me think I always had to be right.

I’ve overindulged in moments of emptiness, and I’ve been paralyzed by sloth—blaming it on depression, which still visits me in waves.

This isn’t about pointing fingers. It’s about holding a mirror.

Every post I write, every insight I share, first and foremost is a message to myself.

And if it also touches something inside you, then maybe that’s the Spirit at work. Maybe that’s how we begin to return to ourselves—together.

So please know, I’m not here to judge. I assure you, I judge myself more than anyone else.

I’m here to walk beside you, to hold space for the honest work of becoming our best selves. To give that a shot. And to remind us both: we are never too far gone to come home to the light.

Here is a preview for the rest of this week!

🌟 Superhero Monday – Jesus x Superman

Awaken Your Inner Hero

Today we explore the myth of Jesus and Superman—not as unreachable icons, but as templates for our own inner superhuman. What if Jesus wasn’t the exception but the example?

💞 Tantra Tuesday – Jesus & Mary Magdalene: Divine Union

Sacred Love & Wholeness

We’ll peel back the layers of history to reimagine Jesus and Mary Magdalene not as sinner and savior, but as divine counterparts. A reflection on tantra, healing polarity, and becoming whole from within.

💃Muse Wednesday – Deep Dive into Mary Magdalene

Reclaiming the Divine Feminine Archetype

Midweek, we will take a closer look at the enigmatic and often misunderstood figure of Mary Magdalene. Why was she so close to Jesus? And why, throughout history, has her image been reduced, distorted, and shamed — often by the pens of men? How has that affected the way women see themselves and their place in society?

⚔️ Warrior Thursday – The Last Supper

Betrayal, Bravery & Sacred Brotherhood

We will honour The Last Supper, what it represented in Jesus' life, and what it represents to all of those that keep this story close to their hearts. Jesus knew his path would involve betrayal—but he still showed up with unconditional love. We’ll reflect on our own inner “Judas,” and how to transmute our own vices, and lead with compassion even when tested.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Tribal Fridays – The Crucifixion

Letting Go & Becoming New

Crucifixion is the death of what no longer serves us. With grace and forgiveness, we’ll explore what we're ready to release—and how to invite rebirth into our lives and communities.

Happy Holy Week, Hero! Join us as we get ready to paint some eggs this weekend! 😋
