From current astrology to ancient mythology, water systems science, middle school education, queer imagination and some of the standout archetypes of the horror genre, including “the final girl.” We hope this conversation leaves you feeling curious about your own chart placements, and excited by the ways that archetype and imagination meet through astrology.Every month in 2025 we're hosting guests to drop in with us for some seasonal exchange and astrological exploration.

Join us on our continuing lecture series on the Iliad.  Dr. Gary Stickel, Homeric scholar and archaeologist guides on our journey through chapter two of this amazing work of world literature. 

Classical Mythology by Thomas Bullfinch is a complete telling of the great stories of the past. The beliefs, the gods and godesses, and the explanation for natural and scientific phenomena. Specifically the Norse Mythology. Read in a slow and soothing way to get you to sleep. This was a bit of an experiment, due to the nature of the content.  Can't sleep? Let the dulcet voice of Erik Braa reading the classics take over for jumping sheep. These tales, narrated in a soothing, calm voice are designed to turn sleeplessness into somnolence. Tune in, zonk out. Bullfinch's Mythology.

Ned and Meg discuss Classical Mythology and garden statuary of Bavaria plus American traditions in art-based humor. This is a weird history lesson with some detours. THANK YOU for listening while the world burns and sinks and wash your hands and wear a mask and watch your butts out there.

Writer and classicist James Cahill gives an introduction to mythological themes in art.

Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde Themes "As we think in our hearts, so are we." (Proverbs, 23.7) The Twins Most cultures have a fascination with the phenomenon of twins. Jekyll and Hyde can be understood to be a strange type of twin.  Castor and Pollux were twins in Classical Mythology, both had the same mother (as would be expected): Leda, but each had a different father. Castor’s father was Leda’s mortal husband and was thus mortal, while Pollux was the son of Zeus, and thus an immortal. When push came to shove and Castor was killed, Pollux shared half his immortality with his twin.  We see in Tolkien, the half-elf brothers Elrond and Elros choose their kindred, Elrond to be an elf and thus immortal and Elros to be human and thus to die. In fact the symbol of the twins runs through our culture: Cain and Abel, Romulus and Remus, Osiris and Set.  Very often one is bad and the other good. Most often, stories about twins involve a moral choice.  The psychologist Carl Jung felt this motif revealed an archetype in human nature itself. Jung (Collected Works XX, 217n) mentions the old apocryphal legend that Jesus (the believer) was twin to Thomas (the doubter).  Chevalier and Gheerbrant (trans. John Buchanan-Brown) in their Dictionary of Symbols (1994, p1047) talk about different pairings of twins; one dark, the other light, one good, the other evil, and they say that they represent the contradictions in a person’s nature and his or her moral struggle to overcome them.  Stevenson’s discussion of this theme addresses the morality, but as well as being philosophical, he manages to demonstrate it through its human and dramatic aspect and show the suffering that such a struggle within a person’s nature can bring. It is not so simple as good fighting against bad. Jekyll wants to be both evil and good at the same time and to enjoy his evil with no penalty. His solution is to create, or more correctly, liberate Mr Hyde. Jekyll gets away with his guilty, but tempting pleasures while he can, but when he fears that Hyde will cause him to be punished, he tries to do away with Hyde, but he has fed the beast too much and it has grown too strong, and in the end, it is Hyde’s evil that proves the stronger. Rather than sharing his immortality as Pollux does for Castor, Jekyll chooses to share his death with Hyde, killing himself and thus killing them both. The idea is that in each of us is a mortal and an immortal part. They are always together but never completely one. We see this in Castor and Pollux but also in Jesus and the Christ, who were both man and god in the same body. We see a version of it where Jekyll is the mixed man, very mortal, fond of both his sensual pleasures and his pious reputation, and Hyde who is uncombined, younger, more vital, his senses sharper, but wholly made of shadow.  The Elixir Stevenson’s Tincture that changes colour and foams and bubbles has been portrayed many times on the television and movie screens. You can even get your own alcoholic version in The Alchemist bar in Manchester and now elsewhere. It does seem to link back to the Elixir of Life of the Medieval and Renaissance alchemists, which they also called a ’tincture’ in that it is transformative. The Elixir of the alchemists could reputedly turn lead into gold, bring that which was dead alive once more and transform man into god. Jekyll’s elixir turns man into monster.  It is also interesting that in an old Irish story, the druids gave the great warrior Cú Chulainn an elixir of forgetfulness so he would forget his love for a woman who was not his wife and therefore not fall into sin. In a sense, Jekyll’s elixir allows him to forget his moral nature, and partake of Hyde’s excesses and abominations with an unblemished conscience, at least so long as he is Hyde. At first thought, Jekyll’s problem is that his elixir does not allow him to forget his sins when he has Support this podcast

This week's story hour I read a section out of the work Classical Mythology by H.A. Guerber on the ancient myth of Hercules.Listen in as the tales of the this great hero are spoken, and the legend of the 12 Labors of Hercules are told.Background Music credit to the always epic Ludovico Einaudi, the contemporary composer. I hope you guys enjoy, and get a giggle out of my best efforts to pronounce some of these very difficult Greek names!Comment below on your favorite mythological story, and I may narrate a section about that legend!Add me on IG @holistic_psyche and listen to the podcast on apple podcasts. Like, subscribe and comment if you appreciate the great works of mythology! 

On this week's episode we have a lil chat with Laura about Classical Mythology and some of the women involved.

Flashback to the birth of Aeneas and the affair between his parents Anchises and Aphrodite. Plus, as usual, the gods made the war far, far worse for the humans. CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
