BTW 88: The King of Cups, Alchemist and Pharmakon with Brian Cotnoir
06/28/24 • 104 min
2 Listeners
The King of Cups brews a potent medicine. Drinking it will change you. This King is an alchemist, bringing out the secrets you've kept hidden within. He is a trance inducer, a seducer, mixer of poisons and medicines. When the King of Cups appears in your life, you are about to encounter the Mysteries, you will become wiser, more relational. Your life will change. You may feel confused, inspired, turned on, transformed, besotted. Join us today to learn more about the power of this king, Lord of the Waves and Waters, King of Undines and Nymphs, with our special guest Brian Cotnoir. Like the King of Cups himself, Cotnoir is a master alchemist; in this episode you'll be invited to taste his magical elixir bubbling with knowledge of Hermes Trismegistus. See you beneath the waves, and between the worlds!

BTW 87: The Strength Year – What to Expect in 2024
In this episode we discuss 2034 as The Strength Year, what it means, what to expect, and how to work WITH the Lion of Strength rather than struggle against it. We also consider what tools will be available to us in the Strength Year, mythologies of Strength, what it means to be authentic, post-humanist perspectives on Strength, and how to find our way this year with the Star card to guide us. Finally, we speak to your own PERSONAL card of the Year and what that means for you, so join us! P.S. Don't forget to sign up for our Strength Year workshop! See below

BETWEEN THE WORLDS STRENGTH YEAR WORKSHOP
In this course, you'll learn how the Strength Year can help us find our authentic self, work with our muse, and resource ourselves to create the world we want to find! (All without becoming a monster!) Each one of us has a specific area in our life where we can make most use of the medicine of the Strength Year, and it’s different for everyone. In this workshop you’ll learn how the Stength Year can show you how to gently coax your inner Lion to give its most might roar.
You can buy this as a one off or become a member of our coven where you get workshops, monthly tarot studio classes, and lots of other goodies included in the cost of membership.
