The Archetypal Tarot Podcast

Special Edition: Interview with Cyndera Quackenbush

Welcome to a Special Edition of the Archetypal Tarot Podcast.   We've had many requests from people wanting to know more about who we are and what we do so we've created this 2 part series on just that.  I sat down with my co-host Cyndera Quakenbush for an informal interview to share more about her background and unique approach to the tarot and beyond.  Look for part 2 of the series coming soon! Visit Cyndera's website www.TarotDreamStone.com for more information and fabulous images of the stones discussed in the show. Cheers, Julienne

The Hierophant: Wise Man, Priest, Guide, Guru

The Sixth edition of the Archetypal Tarot Podcast explores the meaning of the Hierophant card of the Tarot as a stage of a journey where one examines the traditions, organizations and structures of one's life as well as how and who to seek higher guidance from.  The Hierophant, also called the Pope card in traditional Tarot decks also symbolizes the archetypes of the Priest, Guide, Guru, Shaman,Wise Man and Messiah.  Truly a symbol of higher wisdom, this card is a symbol of seeking greater or spiritual knowledge. In a comical twist of irony, this is the first podcast of the series to garner an 'explicit' rating due to Cyndera quoting a line from the movie "Magnolia".
