In part one of this double episode series, we’re discussing the Greek goddess archetypes and how they’re expressed in women’s psychology. This was a response to the suppression of the feminine in a patriarchal society that disregarded art, culture, and feminine reverence.

Pure coincidence? Confirmation bias? We think NOT!

Astrology. Men love to hate it. Many of us have quarrelled with a man over the validity of mercury retrograde, or been accosted for asking for a birth time. So where does this particularly passionate disdain towards astrology come from? How does patriarchy shape what counts as an authentic relationship to spirituality? In this surprisingly complex conversation, we unpack the reasons so many men take issue with an innocent interest. We’ll give you a hint: it’s not a supposed love for logic and reason. The complexities of misogyny can show up in surprising forms. In this episode, we break down the real reason so many men hate astrology.Email: communingwiththecosmos@gmail.comInstagram: communingwiththecosmosIntro & outro music: Lunar Gemini by Polly DacticSources:https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-07-27/is-the-key-to-beating-the-market-written-in-the-starshttps://apnews.com/article/d1d67862bab082f831f705dfe48016d9

Take a shot every time we say ego in this ep. Today, we’re deep diving into the complexities of spiritual narcissism, bypassing and spiritual materialism. We chat about the red flags in seeking a spiritual guide, and how highly influential these dynamics can be psychologically. The malleability of the ego is complex! We touch on our personal experiences and how quickly our practice can turn into a tool to bolster our sense of self. Although the ego is tricky, it’s also very important. Teetering the line of utilizing ego as a tool to stay grounded in reality yet not allowing it to transcend into narcissism is no easy feat, so join us as we break it down and have some giggles in the process <3Email: communingwiththecosmos@gmail.comInstagram: communingwiththecosmosIntro & outro music: Lunar Gemini by Polly DacticSources:https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/out-the-darkness/201904/the-guru-syndromhttps://www.vicmansfield.com/jungian-psychology/the-guru-disciple-relationship-making-connections-and-withdrawing-projections/https://lonerwolf.com/spiritual-materialism/
