Ep 40: How to Work with Witch & Crone Archetypes for Rest & Increasing Satisfaction in Life/Business/Home

How to Work with Witch & Crone Archetypes for Rest and Renewal

Episode Summary

The Fall Equinox is a threshold moment — a balance of day and night before we turn inward for the darker season. In this episode, Emily explores how the Witch and Crone archetypes can guide us into rest, renewal, and alignment. You’ll hear how these archetypes show up in daily life, leadership, and even the way we create our homes as sanctuaries. Blending psychology, spirituality, and practical ritual, Emily shows how to harvest wisdom, release what drains you, and create space for what truly matters.

What You’ll Learn

• How the Witch archetype helps you listen to intuition and set boundaries that protect your energy

• How the Crone archetype teaches discernment, pruning, and the power of slowing down

• Ways to bring archetypes into your home for nervous system calm and daily restoration

• Why rituals regulate stress and help you feel more grounded and in control

• Reflection prompts to help you embody these archetypes at the Fall Equinox

Simple Equinox Ritual (Recap from the Episode)

1. Light a candle and slow your breath.

2. Harvest: name what came to fruition this season.

3. Prune: notice what you’re ready to release.

4. Seed: choose one piece of wisdom to carry forward.
