In this episode we talk about his motivation behind the project, his hopes for how technology can support rather than replace human connection, and his response when I insinuate that the automatization of astrology is a little scary! Alex shares how astrology apps can truly complement our lives — and how his work with STARFIELDS aims to help people discover their soul's purpose in this lifetime. An exciting conversation about coding, consciousness, and the cosmic map within us all!!

Consciousness can be experienced in many diverse ways — such as the normal waking state, REM dreaming, states brought on by psychedelics, states of being under light anaesthetic etc. How is psychosis different from other states? And how is the sense of self experienced during psychosis? Today's guest: Shauna Winram is a PhD candidate in the School of Philosophy, Australian National University, I am so glad that she shares her research and her personal perspectives with us! TAP in to this fascinating conversation about: - How individuals may or may not realise they're in a different reality during psychosis. - How the mental-health system often fails people through lack of therapeutic support, stigma, and disempowerment. - How understanding that psychosis is part of the diversity of human experience can help reduce stigmatising these experiences - Shauna Winram's own lived experience of psychosis - Why we shouldn't romanticise these states — but need to ensure that people are helped and treated properly - Balancing ✨spirit and matter✨ - What are global states of consciousness? ...and more!

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."

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!!
