The Chthonic Archon Archetype

This is a video I released back in July of 2011. In this vlog I deconstruct the concept of the Holy Guardian Angel. Often abbreviated to "H.G.A." this is a term that was popularized by the infamous Aleister Crowley. In the philosophy and religion of Crowley the HGA has a very specific meaning. Instead of regurgitating that, I take a different approach here.

I go into some of the traditional folk beliefs about guardian angels and associate those traits back to the functions of the personal Shadow, as described in Jungian psychology. I then relate this back to the countless myths depicting characters who acts as the gatekeeper of the underworld. These include Hades, Pluto, Erishkigal and even Satan. The conclusion being that one's HGA is a microcosmic instance of the chthonic archon archetype. This novel approach suggests unique methods of working with the HGA.

Transcript Excerpt

"Holy Guardian Angel" is supposed to be an entity that you are not normally aware of except under certain extreme situations. You may occasionally encounter the Holy Guardian Angel and it's supposed to be protecting you from dangers unknown. So things that you may not even be aware of. You're being protected by the Holy Guardian Angel.

Now if we look at the psyche (and psychology is a modern form of occultism and there's no sense denying that at this point. It uses a lot of different terms to discuss the same concepts that are used in various occult systems.) So let's take a look at what function of your own psyche performs a similar function as a Holy Guardian Angel. Well that would be the Shadow.

The Shadow, the psychological Shadow as described by Carl Gustav Jung, is an entity... you could call it an entity, or a function of the psyche that takes experiences, memories, ideas, even concepts that you encounter but are currently unable to process... you don't have the emotional and/or mental faculties to process. That's it and therefore it's a form of trauma and the shadow is the function that keeps that from disturbing the conscious mind. So it suppresses it; represses it and prevents you from correlating different pieces of information that might lead you to certain very disturbing truths or realizations that can possibly damage the mind.

It's very similar to what you would call Satan, which is the King of Hell that keeps the damned souls from you know, in Hell. Keeps them down in the underworld. It's like a Hades or a Pluto type figure. And now the goal is to...
