Notes

Australian Aboriginal culture makes use of the ladder archetype to describe the spiritual journey towards connection. "The “ladder” that must be climbed reflects the various stages of spiritual development that a karadji must undergo on his spiritual journey"[1]

A.E. Waite's poem, A ladder of life, expresses this ladder archetype.
