In the Borderlands

David Beth has spent half a lifetime exploring the hidden aspects of consciousness, the malaise of the modern mind, the essences of divine archetypes and forms.We speak of how the Western World is a world only in concept, because it is based on safety, predictability and preconceived notions of what it should be. A reality based on human imposition. How do we re-establish a true relation with the world based on openness, listening and allowing, a world of never-ending creation, constantly making kosmos from kaos?DAVID BETH LINKShttps://theionpublishing.com/https://kosmic-gnosis.org/Intro text from the essay "Children of the Abyss"https://theionpublishing.com/shop/tfg_2revexp/PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL contact@intheborderlands.com TORGRIM'S LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL'S LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/REFERENCESConjuring Creativityhttps://conjuringcreativity.org/Aleister Crowleyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_CrowleyThelemahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThelemaAnthroposophyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AnthroposophyMichael Bertiauxhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_BertiauxHaitian Vodouhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_VodouLudwig Klageshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_KlagesMartin Heideggerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_HeideggerHomerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomerGeorges Bataillehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_BatailleSagas of Icelandershttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagas_of_IcelandersLeft-hand-path and right-hand-pathhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-hand_path_and_right-hand_pathMinotaurhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinotaurArchon (Gnosticism)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archon_(Gnosticism)Biocentrismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biocentrism_(ethics)Maya Derenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_DerenCandombléhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candombl%C3%A9Umbandahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UmbandaQuimbandahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuimbandaDionysushttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DionysusLanguage of the birdshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_the_birdsSiegfried/Sigurdhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SigurdSufismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SufismMjölnir (Thor's hammer)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mj%C3%B6lnirGeisthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeistVeil of Isishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_IsisKlaus Kinskihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_KinskiAlfred Schulerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_SchulerAnselm Kieferhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anselm_KieferVincent van Goghhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_van_Gogh

Maui, the taboo-thrashing sun-subduing demigod of the Pacific islands, takes center stage in this episode, a force of erupting and disruptive nature that has been haunting podcast host and performance storyteller Mikael Öberg for decades, demanding with increased intensity the making of a performance, a show, a narrative string of pearls.Mikael has finally relented, creating "Maui Trickster“, a storytelling show that just premiered in the UK.

"...set out again, with an oar on your shoulder, and travel to a country where people have never heard of the sea..."Returning guest and deep friend of the podcast, interdisciplinary performer and storyteller Jo Blake, is back! This time to invite us to look at Odysseus, the classical epitome of heroic masculinity, with new eyes.The story of Odysseus has always been a living companion story for Jo, though she is yet to tell it. We discuss how Odysseus' voyage goes beyond gender, teaches something profound about the nature of reality and relation, and can be seen as a valuable story of submission, humility and descension.And last but not least, why most modern retellings of the Odyssey often choose to leave out the actual ending.JO BLAKE LINK https://jo-blake.co.uk/ PODCAST LINKS https://www.intheborderlands.com/ https://www.patreon.com/IntheBorderlands https://www.facebook.com/intheborderlands https://www.instagram.com/intheborderlands_podcast/ EMAIL contact@intheborderlands.com TORGRIM'S LINKS https://www.brittle.one/ https://www.facebook.com/kloverknekten https://www.instagram.com/kloverknekten/ MIKAEL'S LINKS https://smarturl.it/inanna https://www.facebook.com/mikael.oberg.performance.storyteller https://www.instagram.com/mikaelobergstoryteller/ REFERENCESTaiko drumshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TaikoPandvani 108https://crickcrackclub.com/pandvani108/The Iliadhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IliadIthakahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer%27s_IthacaPenelopehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenelopeTelemachushttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TelemachusShivahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShivaTroy (film)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_(film)Kratos (god of war)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kratos_(God_of_War)Athenahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AthenaCircehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CirceTiresiashttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TiresiasCronushttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CronusDemeterhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DemeterPersephonehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PersephoneTerence McKennahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_McKennaMary Magdalenehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_MagdaleneThe Divine Comedyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy

Carl Gustav Jung, the mythopoetic mirror to Freud’s trauma-focused psychology, spoke of a concept he coined "Active Imagination“. An intuitive process of letting your own imagination unfold by drinking from the waters of the collective consciousness. In this conversation we juxtapose both this "AI“ and the more commonly known "AI“ aka Artificial Intelligence. Joined by special guest Fredrik Høyer, a Norwegian slam poet, author and dramatist, we take a meandering and overflowing journey through these mythic borderlands pregnant with the unrealised potential of dreams.

In the US, there’s a prediction that if the current traditional farming practices continue, there’s 60 harvests remaining before the topsoil is completely eroded.  Is there another way? Biodynamic farmer and dancer Johan Nilsson offers one alternative. What if we transform our entire mindset and instead of viewing the soil as dead matter we enter into a relationship with it? Welcome into a sparkling and stirring conversation where the borders between agriculture and art are wiped away, where the intuitive development of the farmer and the soil are seen as one and the same, where the farm itself becomes an alchemical organism, where attentiveness, presence and the spirit of constant discovery and mutual enrichment is key. Welcome to a world where both carrot and human can reach their fullest potential.

We kick off 2024 with a timely musing on the nature of Good and Evil. Does absolute Good and absolute Evil exist? Is the binary idea of Good and Evil useful or does it disconnect us from the actual reality of things? Your hosts Mikael Öberg and Torgrim Mellum Stene explore this landscape through the medium of a spread of Hollywood blockbuster movies.

It is that time of the year. We sit on the treshold. Between what we know and what we don’t know. We look at what has happened In the Borderlands in 2023 and we look ahead at what we would like to discover and experiment with in the year to come. And as an offering to you, dear listener, we end with a midwinter meditation, dreamt up for this moment in time.

Susanna Salo was looking for a deck of Tarot cards inspired by Finnish mythology, but could not find one. So she decided to make one herself. More than a decade later, close to the global relaunch of the English version of her mesmerizing and dreamlike deck, we were lucky enough to get to speak to her In the Borderlands. About the creative process, being inspired by dreams, following the inner voice, how the mythology of Kalevala blended with the Tarot system to create something entirely new, and of deep listening. We even get to draw a few cards!

The Yule Goat is an ancient Northern European symbol of the midwinter solstice, a time when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest. The practice of dressing up like a horned goat for Christmas has many examples in Scandinavian history, though only echoes remain. Friend of the show and historian of religion Rune Hjarnø Rasmussen has for the past few years aimed to remake a new tradition. Inspired by animism, carneval, Krampus processions in the Alps and samba he has started a Yule Goat Parade in the center of Copenhagen which this year will take place on the 16th of December. We talk to him and mask actor Petter Madegård about the thoughts behind the parade, the old concept of beings of darkness bringing the light at the turning point of the year, and the importance of renegotiating your relationship with the absolute Other.

From the busyness of UK screen writer’s rooms to the stillness of the Swedish forests. From mastering the story to serving the story. From performance to ceremony. From ego-centred to eco-centred. Zara Waldebäck’s life, wisdom and thoughts on storytelling, resonance, relationship and attention are some of the many wonderful ingredients of this conversation. It developed and grew like a mycelial network of association and wonder, sprouting fascinating mushrooms to ponder, while pairing and playfully opposing the invisible and visible worlds in a dance of words.

Of all the creatures of the forest, the bear holds a place most dear in the hearts of ancient Scandinavians. New animist thinking and perspectives on how our forebears related to the world around them as well as the concept that personhood and culture is the baseline of existence for all life, ignited a spark in Olle Möllervärn's mind during his Religious studies. His fascinating master thesis on "Bear Culture“ is the springboard for this podcast episode where we delve into folklore and tradition with both the bear and the human as our guide, and the fascinating borderland that emerges between them.

We are back after a lengthy interim! And how better to kickstart our new bout of episodes than with a dose of divine power! We interview Sally Pomme Clayton, British performance storyteller and author, about her latest book – The Mighty Goddess. We try to touch upon the immensity that is the Goddess, through a breadth of mythical lenses, attempting to describe archetypal energies that are impossible to pin down or reduce to human psychology. Indeed, how do you approach the Mighty Goddess, a borderless creative force that craves expression. Through the language of Love? Of Good and Evil? Or of Rage?

In the middle of the night, you find yourself caught between dream and wakefulness, unable to move, unable to scream, with the feeling that someone's sitting on your chest. There are many names for this condition. Sleep paralysis. The Old Hag. The Nightmare. Mara.
