Living the Mythic:
A Journey Into the Magical Stories in Your Birth Chart
October 1 - December 30, 2024
Living the Mythic: Opening the Gate
If you’re uncertain how to answer the call of these times of massive shift, you may need to drench yourself in the Mythic. You might need a way to hold the uncertainty and the magic that’s more visceral and poetic, more wild and mystical, than systems and categories and timelines and facts. You may need questions more than answers, wandering and wondering more than You may need to let yourself begin in the simplest of ways – by listening to Living the Mythic, a weekly audio story hour with the option of a monthly integration circle.
Living the Mythic changes us.
Even now, we – who receive more information in a single day than a highly educated human 500 years ago did in a lifetime – enter a different space when we enter the Mythic. We take our place in a timeless circle, wrapped in the night, surrounded by the stars. In the light of ancient fires, we let the tales of loss and heartbreak, of goddesses and dragons, of monsters and boons, enter our bodyminds, swim through our bloodstream, take up residence in our bones.
In a deep and wordless way, we remember who we are, what we’re part of, and why we’re here.
Entering the Mythic, we step into a more vibrant and enchanted world – the one that lives both within us, and all around, going back to the beginning of the world and the birth of the Universe. The source stream stirs us with wonder and longing, grief and awe. The closer we listen, the deeper the Mythic enters us. The more insistently she speaks to our hearts and sings to our souls. The more we realize we’re Living the Mythic.

The Mythic is the lifeblood of astrology – and your own birth chart.
Your own birth chart, part of the great and ancient astrological wisdom body, has already invited you in. Living the Mythic will bring it alive in a way that’s personal and cosmic, both completely unique and utterly universal. From its beginnings 5,000 years ago, at the beginning of the Bronze Age, the Mythic has been astrology’s lifeblood. The first astrologers saw Inanna’s journey to the Underworld when they watched Venus disappear from the sky – a tale of courage and despair, of the ultimate loss and total regeneration that has touched the life of every woman who’s recognized, in a Venus circle or a reading, her own journey.
As western astrology spread from Sumeria and Babylon to Egypt and then to Greece, the mythic substrate deepened and expanded the astrological wisdom body. Isis and Osiris, Sekhmet and Hathor, Thoth and Horus all brought their medicine, along with Pan and Artemis, Dionysus and Persephone. As we encounter these great cosmic beings in your own life and your own birth chart, we begin to realize that “there is another world, but it is in this one,” as another poet, Paul Eluard understood. The Mythic, you see, is full of poets, musicians, bards, healers, lovers, dancers, diviners, priests, and priestesses.
These times are Mythic.
Our understanding of the ancient world is having a renaissance, as new translations of ancient texts and new findings about the pre-patriarchal world, radically reshape what we thought we knew. Like me, you’re poised for an evolutionary leap so daring that it requires a deep connection with the cosmic source stream.
Living the Mythic is your invitation to step back in, and experience the astrological wisdom body as never before.
What you’ll get:
Using the zodiac as a framework, you’ll encounter the myths as the living forces that animate the skies around you, and the ones within, in a weekly recording that brings the rich and colorful mythic backdrop of each astrological season.
These won’t be the superficial and cliched stories you’ve probably heard before. Every episode of Living in the Mythic will bring the new findings of a new generation of researchers front and center. Stepping into the Mythic as full-fledged inhabitants, we won’t be afraid to question tired platitudes and look into some of astrology’s shadows. You’ll never see the signs, the planets, and the Mythic the same way.
Included with each recording will be suggestions for journaling, painting, reading, imagining, and questing, along with succinct clues about where in your life the Mythic is likely to be stirring each week.
The option to join a monthly integration circle to deepen the alchemy by sharing your experiences and questions and witnessing those of others.
By subscribing to Living from the Mythic, you’re activating the alchemical power of the container. You’re also:
Opening to see and to live in a new and authentic way, one that’s as unique as your own birth chart.
Understanding how the underlying mythology from which astrology arose lets you experience the organic, interdependent connections between the planets, signs, and houses as mythic spaces, rather than a collection of unrelated and overwhelming fragments.
Experiencing the Mythic as the gateway to a new relationship to the Cosmos and a new understanding of your crucial, essential place in it.
As your guide into the Mythic, I’m inviting you to join me on a quest that is personal, compelling, and urgent. Like you, I need the container of Living the Mythic to let all that is pouring out of me alchemize into the book that marries the living source stream from which astrology first sprang, marrying myth with what we’re learning about the Universe around us and the one within.
Your presence and your support is a crucial framework of support that emboldens me to take the crucial step of entering the source stream.

The world would split open.”
