The Laughing Mystics: An unorthodox journey through the liturgical year

Ep 42 - Kings and Queens - November 23, 2025


Listen Later

The Feast of Christ the King.

Question: Who is someone I trust and admire enough that I’d be their subject and honor them as a  King in my world.

 Laura mentions mythologist Michael Meade and his Living Myth podcast.

 

We talk of Joseph Campbell and an ancient practice of sacrificing the King.

Laura also mentions another podcast, including ⁠The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill.

We explore the power of changing the genders in the second reading.

 We mention: Jungian Marion Woodman and her quote about the Goddess,

Elizabeth’s Johnson’s book, She Who Is.

Laura again uses the Jungian term "Objective Psyche" as a synonym for God. Marci mentions sand mandalas made by Tibetan monks.
