Therapeutic Astrology Podcast

Kaedrich Olsen is a seasoned Paranormal Arts Mentor, and in this episode he shares about Sacred Masculinity and how to relate to the modern world through inspiration from Norse mysticism. A small note from me: I trusted my microphone to be on, but it didn’t connect to my computer for some reason, so my audio is less fortunate — I hope you can flow with it!! Tap in to hear some juicy parts about how Kaedrich has been studying Norse mythology, mysticism, and the old belief systems since his teenage years. He discovered the runes and even translated the Poetic Edda himself to understand the Old Norse mindset. The Norse people lived with spirituality as an everyday part of life — what we call the supernatural was simply the invisible part of nature. TAP in as we dive into the topic of the sacred masculine and: -The mature warrior is calm, self-contained, and protects out of love for what’s behind him — family, home, community. – The sovereign archetype, or sacred king, holds vision, builds alliances, and uplifts others rather than hoarding power. – In Old Norse stories, the best rulers were called “Ring Breakers” and “Haters of Gold” because they gave away wealth to strengthen their people. – Not just warriores, but the craftsman, the magician, the sage  – Take individual responsibility and choose what truly makes sense to you instead of following the collective mindset – The current turmoil in the world is like a collective shadow surfacing, calling us to evolve – Loki, the Norse trickster, stirs things up and creates discomfort, but when the dust settles, everyone is better off!! – I also get his take on the Vikings tv-series- he in stead recommends “The North Man” and “The Last Kingdom” and shares that Ragnar Lothbrok is “sort of like a King Arthur figure,” likely an “amalgam.” Thank you for being with us!

Do you know that tension between your imagined life and the "real" one? and at this time do you feel the systems breakdown and the potential "heroes" rising? In this episode, astrologer, writer, and podcaster Adam Sommer helps me tap into the Saturn–Neptune conjunction — a 36-year cycle, yet they have not met in Aries since year 1703. I share my most recent story of feeling disillusioned or we could say that an authority "gave up on me", and that could fit the Saturn-Neptune as well. TAP IN with us as we look at how to avoid its shadow expressions such as victimization martyrdom and escapism, which could take us over, when what goes on just seems too void of purpose. Adam reflects on historic turning points that relates to this transit and how this rare alignment invites us to build new structures for collective dreams - and Aries is the sign of THE SPARK OF LIFE. There's the disenchantment, the necessary confrontation and then there's all the possibilities!!  Stay with LOVE, stay with FORGIVENESS, and REMEMBER — appearances aren’t always the TRUE FACT. That’s how I make peace with being unexpectedly kicked out of therapy school (when I am done being angry) - and everything else that's going on that seems random at times. In astrology of course there are many transits happening, but I like just tuning sometimes to some particular background energy (we mentions others too), like we do in this chapter, and so I hope you enjoy it and get some helpful reflections for your own context and situations in daily life. -Mannah LINKS to Adam: https://www.adam-sommer.com/ [https://www.adam-sommer.com/] direct to his pod: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/constellating-cosmos-an-astrological-lens/id413880792 [https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/constellating-cosmos-an-astrological-lens/id413880792]   My web: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/ [https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/]   Youtube Version of this episode: https://youtu.be/zcQdmIYp150 [https://youtu.be/zcQdmIYp150]

WELCOME to this conversation with translator and esoteric researcher Yury Pankratov, who has translated "The Encyclopedia of Occultism" by the early 20th-century Russian occultist and Martinist teacher Grigori Mebes. Yury's own journey went from computer engineering in Russia to the hidden traditions of Western esotericism and the rediscovery of Russian Martinism – a spiritual current rooted in the teachings of Martinez de Pasqually, Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin, and Papus. TAP in with us as we talk about: – The rise of Russian Martinism and the soul’s fall and reintegration – Occultism is a training of thought  – Mebes’ model of Archetype, Man, and Nature – The astral plane as a bridge between spirit and matter – The mystery of Egregores – collective fields of consciousness that shape, heal, and influence human life – The creative polarity of manifestation expressed through Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh – How the Tarot serves as a initiatory alphabet  – The three stages of initiation – physical, astral, and archetypal – and the meaning of inner alchemy – What it means to make gold by first having gold – Yury’s own practice of astrological theurgy through Orphic hymns and planetary communion – Reflections on Mebes’ astrology, the question of free will versus fate – Mebes’ later life and the happenings due to the Russian Revolution Thank you so much for being with us!!

"The Book of Thoth inspires students to progress from foundational knowledge of Magick and Mysticism to a deeper engagement with the writings of Aleister Crowley and other luminaries".... "Step onto the sacred path mapped by the Book of Thoth—a gateway to spiritual mastery and cosmic understanding. Whether you’re an aspirant seeking the wisdom of the A∴A∴ or a student of esoteric traditions, this profound manual offers the Keys to navigate the Map of the Universe." - (Direct quotation from by Paul Hughes-Barlow) Welcome to an episode that goes behind the new book "THE SECRET OF THE THOTH TAROT The Origins of Aleister Crowley’s Book of Thoth" by Paul Hughes-Barlow published on Aeon Books.  TAP in as we speak about some background story of Aleister Crowley and also topics like: -Pauls process with writing the book (that was in fact channelled) -Crowley's obsession with Tarot  -Eliphas Levi -The number of Mercury and Christ -The promise to have contact with the Hidden Masters -Freemasonry  -Immanuel Kant, German philosopher, as influencing Crowley's ethic -Crowley stayed Christian -To hide your light under a bushel -What all the secrecy is about!! -The four levels on the Qabalistic Tree of Life -Mercury above and below the Abyss -The book of Lies -Both Carl Jung (1875–1961) and Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) were exact contemporaries, born in the same year. Each developed a radical system engaging with the unconscious, symbols, myth, and spirituality outside orthodox religion -I love how Paul uses Tarot therapeutically — it reflects the very essence of TAP and of a place to find Whole- What might look like two different paths, therapy and Tarot/Astrology, actually converge in one shared practice - or at least parallel practices within one healing field -Initiations and the nigredo (darkness) necessary before renewal -Fatalistic divination - or something more useful -Thoth is the God of magic -Aleister Crowley stands as one of the most disputed figures in modern Western esotericism, and our conversation concludes on that note—yet Paul Hughes-Barlow offers a perspective that reframes the common judgments Hope you enjoyed something about this episode.

"Every single person has a deep storehouse of mysterious Yin, rife with potential richness, meaningful innovation, and the terrifying unknown. When one knows how to walk in a Yin way, they orient themselves to the fabric of reality. This is why one who navigates life in a Yin way is masterful, because they work with the current of the cosmos and they feel the contextual web of possibility." A quote from the book "Yin Mysticism and the vesica Piscis" by my guest today, Brynja Magnussen. Inspiring and beautiful book. Brynja Magnussen is an artist in the visionary and psychedelic genres and an author of archetypal and energetic reference books. In this episode we dive into Yin Mysticism and the mind’s hidden currents. TAP IN as we speak about themes such as: -Hypnosis & Yin: “Hypnosis holds a special role in the modalities of Yin because it directly approaches the Yin subconscious from a wakeful YANG state.” -A world short on Yin: “The subjugation of and separation from YIN over millennia is bound to begin manifesting in neuropathology.”  -ADHD & unchecked YANG paradigm -Separation as mystical-mundane. Why the most profound transformations leave you alone afterward -Seasonal depression and what one could do about it -Astrology !! As we speak about modern life over-privileges analytical, fragmentary, left-hemisphere styles— a Yang tendency—at the expense of contextual, embodied, relational, integrated, holististic form of knowing. Eclipse seasons (literal alignments, shadow and light) are a good time to rebalance toward Yin qualities such as: recovering, attunement, dark unknown.
