The archetypes are the core of my work, and now that the previous episodes have laid out the worldsense and frame of ideas that hold the archetypes, we can start getting into these inner figures in detail.


The Primal Animal can be one of the more difficult archetypes to live well with, especially (because of socialized judgment) for nonbinary, gender-fluid, and female people.


Its raw, intense, and amoral essence (note I'm not...

This is my first interview-ish episode, with the FABULOUS Mattia Mauree who podcasts, teaches, does deep magic with neurospicy humans, and also happens to produce Human Equals Paradox.


We are jamming about my personal pet peeve - the way cultural biases have gotten plastered over the core framework of western astrology and then the whole mess presented as if that is what astrology is.

In this episode I give a basic introduction to the way that archetypal parts of us can end up "in the basement" - i.e. semi-conscious or unconscious, and how that leads them to express in twisted and compulsive (shadowy) ways.

This episode outlines my not-a-trained-therapist understanding of projection, what that has to do with archetypal nature, and why it's so very relevant in our understanding of ourselves and other humans.

This, hopefully, will illustrate why the lens of paradox is ALWAYS more effective, pragmatically speaking, for und...

I lay out my understanding of the qualities I describe as "down-and-in" and "up-and-out" as core parts of human nature.

Introducing the idea that we're made of so many different sets of needs, desires, and priorities.
