What happens when two tarot readers meet to talk about archetypes? Literally everything. And nothing. Find out what that means in this latest episode of Myth & Magic for Modern Times -- an interview with Alese Osborn, one chaotic, wild, yang, female explosion of creativity and genius. She shares her thoughts on Carl Yung, J.R.R. Tolkein and Joseph Campbell -- soulful poets and scholars who believed in magic and who, each in their own ways, did big work in connecting archetypes and ritual, magic and spirituality into the everyday in their time. Our long, leisurely, frequently hilarious, insightful conversation covers everything from creativity, concepts of good, evil, the "Secular World," who the Mr Rogers of occultists is, and chaos. I hope you enjoy!

 I’m joined once again by award winning author Tina LeCount Myers to discuss the power of names and words, family legacies, and of marriage and how it’s the merging (or not) of names and identities. I share a naming ceremony that I invented to energetically clear my name of past baggage and I encourage you to take this ritual and make it your own, especially if you haven’t done a name clearing ceremony before or not for some time. Please feel free to let me know if you do so !<3

'The Princess Bride' is a hilarious film that I really enjoy rewatching, and also it portrays many unfortunate subliminal messages regarding love and romance. As much as I love this movie, I think it's important to look with a critical eye at what we're consuming, especially at a young, impressionable age (which is when so many of us first watch/ed this movie). This film is just one of so many that have contributed to the many damaging, subconscious beliefs in our society about love, and in this podcast, we utilize 'The Princess Bridge' as a starting off point and great example through which to take a closer look at some of those beliefs and messages.

I'm joined by Sequoia, a fellow tarot read and healer, and Michaela, a friend I made through instagram with an avidly curiosity in cellular memory and cultural reprograming, to help tease apart those messages and shine a light into the stories beneath this classic story.
