Before you can truly meet your deeper self, you need to understand the layers that have shaped who you think you are. In this follow-on from last week’s episode on the self, we explore the stage of preconditioning - the beliefs, behaviors, and emotional patterns formed by upbringing, culture, and society.
Drawing from The Art of Tarot guidebook, this episode dives into the Empress, Emperor, and Hierophant cards as archetypes of emotional, structural, and societal conditioning. You’ll be guided to reflect on your early influences, examine inherited beliefs, and begin the slow, powerful process of choosing what’s truly yours.
This is the work of peeling back - not to reject the past, but to uncover what was always there beneath it.
