The Energy of Empire 10. Honduras - The Banana Republic

The Energy of Empire 10. Honduras - The Banana Republic

By the turn of the twentieth century, and much as with Nicaragua, American corporations were consolidating large landholdings and lobbied the US government to protect their investments as they ran into conflict over issues such as peasants rights. The first US military incursion took place in 1903 and occurred consistently over the succeeding decades. Because the country was effectively controlled by American fruit corporations, it was the original inspiration for the term ‘banana republic.’

The Dark Night of the Soul, with Fiona Robertson

The Dark Night of the Soul, with Fiona Robertson

Fiona Robertson returns to the podcast to talk about her latest book, The Dark Night of the Soul. Fiona is referring to the archetypal experience of entering a period of darkness and despair during a process of spiritual awakening. We talk about our own dark nights our emergence from them back into the light and how we've come to relate to the traditionally more troubling aspect of our psyches. For me this interview was one of the most personally insightful ones I've recorded provoking self-reflection whilst it was still in progress. Find out more about Fiona's work here The Dark Night of the Soul is available on Amazon (UK) (US)

Achetypes & Body Image, on the Archetypal Tarot Podcast

Achetypes & Body Image, on the Archetypal Tarot Podcast

Hello everybody, I was recently a guest on the Archetypal Tarot Podcast, alongside Nicole Schnackenberg. We spoke about body image from a spiritual and mythical perspective, talking about the soul's relationship with the body, the hero's journey, films such as Labyrinth and even a bit of Game of Thrones. Even if Tarot is not your thing, The Archetypal Tarot Podcast is one the best shows on mythology and symbolism there is. If you are into Tarot, the hosts Julienne and Cyndera have done a complete course on the symbolism of the Major Arcana. I can't overstate how much I enjoyed recording this and I hope you enjoy it too. Find The Archetypal Tarot Podcast on: Podbean, YouTube, Itunes, Facebook
