A Method Rooted in Language,
Jungian Psychology, Culture,
and
Storytelling

Keys and Flowers- Wix (2)_edited_edited_edited.png

At the heart of my method lies the belief that Gothic literature is a gateway to understanding our inner worlds.

 

By exploring the language of symbols, archetypes, and unconscious narratives, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

​

This method is about using language such as the stories we tell, the cultural symbols we inherit, and the deep psychological themes embedded in Gothic tales, to guide your path. Through these narratives, we confront and embrace the unknown, finding wisdom in the forest of our minds.

​

Like the roots of an ancient tree, this method is grounded in deep introspection. As we move upward, each branch and leaf represents the stages of personal growth, guided by the themes and symbols of Gothic narratives.

​

Drawing from Jungian psychology, cultural insights, and the art of storytelling, this unique method offers a personalised journey rooted in your unique life path, helping you tap into the power of transformation within yourself.

“Very well defined Alicia, as always, a really deep and erudite vision on the subject. I wish there were not so much commercial gothic disco, noise and vice and there were more introspective minds.."

The Person Behind this Project

Keys and Flowers- Wix (2)_edited_edited_edited.png

My name is Alicia Domínguez, and I am the creator of The Gothic Descent.

​

I am an English philologist with a Master in Jungian psychology, writer, content creator, and researcher of all things Gothic and depth psychology.

​

This project began in 2005 as a simple webpage dedicated to Gothic literature and ghost stories. At the time, I was just starting my degree and discovered that, alongside my love for communication and the English language, my true passion lay in exploring the dungeons of the human mind.

​

Life, like any Gothic tale, has led me through the shadowed corridors of loss, transformation, and the ever-present dance between life and death. These experiences have deepened my connection to the Gothic and its ability to illuminate profound psychological truths.

​

Through The Gothic Descent, I guide others who, like me, seek meaning in the darkness, using stories as mirrors to navigate their own depths.
