Reframing my struggles with astrology has helped me not only re-commit to living here but to do so with wild aliveness, authenticity, and joyful presence. This is because astrology is a magical language: the words are more than new vocabulary terms. Astrology provides codes for accessing technologies for speaking magic, for healing, and for dreaming the emergence of new timelines for ourselves and for our world. In this episode, I share how on the side of portal of the magical word Scorpio, we open into a realm for healing our relationship to the unconscious, to trauma, to buried memories, and to the dead. You'll find here: - a study of the ancient Sumerian myth "The Descent of Inanna" - the precursor to the myth of Persephone - a look at ways modern psychoanalysis has shaped our understanding astrology and myth, and what this has to do with emergence - a discussion of the 8th House in astrology as our closet and our underground, which tends to open up for us the deeper we go in our enmeshed relationships - co-dependency versus what I call "gate-walking" (how to hold sovereignty and our own shit within our deep partnerships) - the connections between alchemy, astrology, and psychology - my own version of the 7 stages of an underworld journey and why I'm so passionate for helping myself and those who are interested in learning with me to find tools and skills for moving through stage 2 (gnarly feels) and 3 (being with what's here). - how in ancient Sumerian language "ear" and "wisdom" are the same word, so in the original Descent when it begins that Inanna "opened her ear" to the Great Below, it refers to the wisdom she wanted to learn from the underworld, and how wisdom is so much of the gift of the journey - a discussion of how crucial it is to give our shadow self - the unconscious that bubbles up - a witness to listen and reflect back without judging, advice-giving, or solution-grasping This episode is so much of everything I am and everything I do. I love it. Learn about my new offering CAVE SPACE, an online learning container with 4 weekly lives but mostly pre-recorded teachings and exercises for you to experience at your own pace. I invited 12 contributors to bring their wisdom of the underground path to guide you in the dark. Most of them you will recognize from Moon to Moon or my learning containers. We meet Scorpio season. All replays available for folks who join later or can't attend. The purpose of CAVE SPACE is to give you magical language, tools, and exercises to greet yourself where it's often quite scary. The overall goal is the same as with all of Emergence Astrology: to help you trust your life. All participants receive my Scorpio workbook. The first 30 to register receive a Pluto ritual oil from Ashley Estabrook of Witches for Bernie.

Our guest this week is Joseph Han, the author of debut novel NUCLEAR FAMILY and one of the 2022 5 under 35 National Book Foundation honorees. His novel centers the palpable nature of generational trauma and hope by manifesting it literally, the spirit of an ancestor possessing a descendant, all amongst the backdrop of the longstanding Korean War and a Korean restaurant based in Hawaii. Joseph chose a book reflecting on similar themes for this episode, THE MAGICAL LANGUAGE OF OTHERS by EJ Koh. This memoir told through the language of translation defies expectation and feels to the reader like a triumph just for its existence. Joseph also shares his thoughts on all things Guy Fieri, what it means to chose the perfect title, and so much more. As always, there are no spoilers for either book in the episode.

“These were my bedtime stories stories. I remember listening to them before I could speak. I had delayed speech, and I had quite a bit of trouble with speaking at all and with learning and also just simply getting into school. I think I must have been five before I was uttering some of my first words and trying to articulate.Simple communication was very difficult for me and my family, especially in a family where we were speaking several languages. They hoped to instill English. It's the language of survival. Once they immigrated to the States. And my grandmother, my father's mother, who raised me was speaking Japanese, that was her private language. It was a remnant of the past and sort of the past of the occupation with Korea being occupied by Japan. My mother and father spoke in Korean, and this was a much more intimate language that I wanted to have access to but would also keep me away from the English that they hoped me to get. And all of this was compounded by my difficulty with speech. So there was a lot of frustration and fear in my relationship to language, and the relationship these languages had to each other, that was something I felt very sensitive to since I was young. Since before I could speak.”E. J. Koh is the author of the memoir The Magical Language of Others, winner of the Washington State Book Award and the 2021 Pacific Northwest Book Award.

“And yet somehow by magic we love. We fall in love. We teach each other. We care about each other. We have these emotional experiences together even if all of that seems impossible.

In episode 7, I would like you to meet maverick Diane Samsel - a gifted astrologer, artist, animal communicator, and author of the book "The Magical Language of the Heart - Rediscovering Animal Communication."  Maybe you can identify with her life journey which includes an upbringing certainly not suggestive of where she is today.  

This week, poet, memoirist, and translator E.J. Koh on the untranslatability of Han. “Han is very difficult for me to define,” Su Cho agrees. “The dictionary definition is ‘an internalized feeling of deep grief, regret, anger, and sorrow, which is felt by all Koreans,' but this is complicated because what does it mean to define an entire country by its trauma? And how can those of us who feel the lingering effects, but didn't live through its history, write about it?” Koh's work runs into the fog of what we don't know—yet. This conversation features excerpts from her memoir, The Magical Language of Others, which includes translated letters written by Koh's mother, and her poem “American Han” from the October issue of Poetry.

Subtext is the art of the implicit, and this week's guest, E.J. Koh, has written a gorgeous memoir, The Magical Language of Others, in which the subtext nearly drips from the page—to gorgeous and astounding results. This week's show, therefore, explores what subtext is, how to use it, how to watch out for it, and how to practice it. We want all of you writers out there to make your readers hungry for your stories, and this is one way you can entice, delight, and tantalize.

Hear interviews with authors Amal El-Mohtar, Max Gladstone, and E.J. Koh. El-Mohtar and Gladston chat about their spy novella, This Is How You Lose the Time War. Koh discusses her memoir, The Magical Language of Others. Each author talks about how letter writing can act as a form of time travel. We also share some of our other favorite epistolary works.

Tammy Mastroberte is author of “The Universe is Talking to You: Tap Into Signs & Synchronicity to Reveal Magical Moments Every Day,” a spiritual teacher, award-winning writer and founder of the multi-award-winning Elevated Existence Magazine. She started her writing career as an editorial assistant for two magazines at 20 years old, and her life changed dramatically at the age of 22 when her mother died suddenly of a brain aneurysm three days after Christmas in 1999. The death of her mother sparked a spiritual journey in the search for meaning to life's big questions — What happens when we die? What is the purpose of life? How can I find more meaning? To her surprise, it was her mother — through various mediums and too many signs from the other side to count — who helped her find many of the answers she was seeking. Tammy's work focuses on helping people tame the chaos in their everyday lives so they can open up to all life has to offer them — including signs and guidance from the Universe and loved ones who have passed on — to discover more meaning, peace and happiness every day. Through online classes, a membership program, live in-person workshops and speaking events, Tammy's goal is to help others find calm in the chaos and live with more happiness and connection each day.

PYTHAGORASAna's Bio: Hi there! I am Ana Dorotea. I was born in Mexico City. Since I was little, I was passionate about energy, God, the Universe and the mysteries that inhabit it. I found in numbers a spiritual tool to direct my path through the highest vibration. As you may know, we are energy and consciousness. When we vibrate low, we encounter dense frequencies (fear, guilt, frustration, anger, sadness, etc.). When we vibrate high, we encounter high frequencies (love, harmony, joy, abundance, forgiveness, etc.). The good news is that we have free will and we can choose our vibration! My mission is to share all the knowledge learned about the power of numbers. I want to share the great love and respect that I have for them and the messages they transmit. I know you will find a GREAT tool in Numerology!Check Out Ana's Website and book your session today!! https://calendly.com/numeranaTruthSeekah's Book Spirit Realm: Angels Demons, Spirits and the Sovereignty of God (Foreword by Jordan Maxwell) https://amzn.to/31g9ydRTruthSeekahs Guided Meditation | The Throneroom Visualization https://www.TruthSeekah.com/MeditationsHelp Keep The TruthSeekah Podcast On The Air!⭐️ Become A Patron And Support TruthSeekah

Show notes for Episode 023 – Marci Calabretta Cancio-Bello on “The Magical Language of Others” by E.J. Koh     Marci Calabretta Cancio-Bello is equal parts quick wit and deep thinker. Talking to her was like talking to someone who can see deeper into the ocean than you can, and will gently explain it to you. Marci talks freely about how books saved her life, and this conversation was a balm for my soul after a rough week. I know you are going to love it. We talked for almost two hours, and I had to cut a lot of it to fit the podcast time restraints. But one thing I don't want you to miss is that Marci is the program director for the Miami Book Fair. Because of the pandemic, this year the Book Fair is online, which means we all have access to it. The fair is happening November 15-22;  make sure you check out the awesome lineup of programs and discussions.     Support the Best Book Ever Podcast on Patreon   Follow the Best Book Ever Podcast on Instagram or on the Best Book Ever Website   Host: Julie Strauss Website/Instagram/Facebook   Guest: Marci Calabretta Cancio-Bello Website/Instagram/Facebook   Indie Bookstore Shoutout of the Week Murder on the Beach Bookstore in Delray, Florida   Discussed in this episode: Hour of the Ox by Marci Calabretta Cancio-Bello The Magical Language of Others: A Memoir by E.J.
