What if the things we've been taught to fear aren't actually the things we should be afraid of?
This in episode we're diving into the darkness. From my lifelong obsession with horror, haunted houses, and all things spooky; to the history of demons, witch hunts, and the suppression of feminine sexuality, we're exploring how darkness became synonymous with evil—and who REALLY benefits from keeping us afraid.
We get into Carl Jung's concept of the shadow, the parts of ourselves we've been conditioned to repress, and why avoiding the things that make us uncomfortable often gives them more power over us. I also break down the symbolism behind two of my favorite tarot cards, The Devil and The Lovers, and what they can teach us about attachment, control, freedom, and self-trust.
In this episode, we explore:
- Growing up on horror movies and never having a nightmareWhy we're conditioned to fear darkness and the unfamiliarThe history of demons, the occult, and the persecution of witchesHow shame and social conditioning disconnect us from pleasureWhy menopause used to be a woman’s power era.. But now it’s something to dread Carl Jung, the shadow, and what happens when we repress parts of ourselvesThe hidden symbolism connecting The Devil and The Lovers in tarotThe numerology of 666 and what the pentagram representsHow attachment, avoidance, and control keep us trappedWhy reclaiming your darkness might be the key to becoming whole
Questions to reflect on: What were you taught to fear? Which parts of yourself have you learned to hide? And what might change if you trusted yourself enough to finally let them out?
