Mad Kings and Monsters: The Power of Story
Today we listen to the tale of Erysichthon of Thessaly, a mad king under a curse. His hubris and savagery so angered the mother goddess Ceres, that the icy Goddess Famine cursed him with an insatiable appetite. Trying to fill the voracious void, the king lays waste to the entire kingdom and ultimately devours even himself. In the tradition of myth, it is a living tale, and this one, an eerie mirror of the present. When our search for meaning, becomes a search for soul, we inevitably find ourselves “entangled in myth,” said James Hillman, Jungian analyst and founder of archetypal psychology. Join us as we free ourselves from our mythic entanglement with mad kings and monsters. Thanks to @iamlucasbakker - Blue Medicine Journal's editor, producer, musician and composer!

Susan Rowland & The Swan Lake Murders: A Mary Wandwalker Mystery
Join us in conversation with Dr. Susan Rowland, PhD, a Jungian scholar, teacher & prolific author. Today we discuss The Swan Lake Murders: a Mary Wandwalker Mystery. This is her 4th in an ongoing series of the heroic feminine in search of justice in a patriarchal world. In today’s conversation, we discuss the inspiration, history, and archetypal principles behind the story of Swan Lake, and the sundry cast of characters who are marooned together during hurricane, at an ancient convent which shelters young women, once victims of sex-trafficking, and run by the witch/ therapists who tend them. Cast includes: Mary Wandwalker and her Depth Enquiry Agency (DEA), a three women team, who brave the hurricane to bring justice to an evil sorcerer– who not only influences politics, but more nefariously, poses as a choreographer to lure and sexually abuse teenage ballet dancers, a braggadocious populist politician, his disgruntled wife– who owns the ballet company, and their teenage daughter Irina, the ballerina, about whom The Swan Lake Murders revolve. Tune in! Special thanks to my producer and editor, Lucas Bakker, whose original music adds to the magic! https://www.susanrowland-books.com/
