the occult truth about heartbreak

What if your heartbreak was an initiation?

This episode explores heartbreak as an occult process that remakes you from the insight out. We examine limerence (that obsessive, addictive infatuation), the ancient Greek concept of Eros as daimon (a spirit that seizes you, not a choice you make), and the alchemical function of grief.

You'll discover why the person you loved was a projection of your own soul, why heartbreak feels like death (because something in you is dying), and how the pain of heartbreak functions as a furnace, burning away dependency to forge inner sovereignty.

We’ll draw from depth psychology, Renaissance philosophy, alchemy, and myth to reveal heartbreak's hidden purpose: teaching you that love was never meant to be about another person “completing” you, but breaking open the parts of you that refused to evolve. If you're in the aftermath of a breakup or any kind of lost love, this episode offers a different kind of map through this all too familiar territory.

Topics Covered: heartbreak recovery, limerence psychology, Jungian shadow work, alchemical transformation, Eros mythology, depth psychology, spiritual initiation, healing after breakup, inner work, and occult philosophy.
