Symbolic Studies

In addition to our monthly show on astrology, we're introducing a second show exploring symbolism beyond the zodiac. Same format, but covering topics outside of our standard fare. In this inaugural episode, I’m joined by my wife Michelle, as we unpack the symbolism of magick. Together, we explore themes including the intention and meaning of the magician, magical garments, magic in popular culture, the language of symbols and their role in personal transformation. This episode features voicemails and insights from Georgina Rose, Paranoid American, Nick from The Occult Rejects, Brandon from Magus in the Media, along with contributions from listeners like yourself. Enjoy!

For this episode, we turn our focus to the third sign of the zodiac: Gemini, the Twins. As always, I’m joined by my wife and co-host, Michelle, as we pierce the veil of Gemini symbolism and delve into the sign’s esoteric dimensions. We explore themes including the contrasting nature of the twins, polarity, duality and how these concepts relate to the alchemical marriage. We also examine the Major Arcana correspondences of The Lovers and The Magician. Additionally, we discuss Gemini's ruling planet Mercury and its correspondence to the arms, lungs, nervous system and more. This episode features voicemails and insights from our regular contributors, Emily Ridout and Katriena Emmanuel, as well as the latest addition to the show, Jord. We’re also joined by special guests Benjamin Balderson and Tom Mac, along with several voicemails submitted by listeners like yourself.
