8: Versing Fate: Fortuna, Nemesis, and Divination feat. Ione Richards

No one, not two, In sky and seed sewn, Dream up shadows to love through.  Shape change in the nether-pool and drown with friends To arise anew again and again. Joined by astrologer and classical researcher Ione Richards (@iynxwheel), we delve into the practice of divination and fortune-telling--both from practical, deconstructive, and magical perspectives in turn. Gaming and divination; cartomancy through MTG, pokemon, and Tarot; astrology as divinatory vs psychological practice; the hero's journey; manipulating the odds of your life's outcome; storytelling as survival mechanism; Fortuna and Tyche; the first dice; Syncretizations of gods; Titans giving birth to gods; queer mothering; mother monsters and monstrous mothering; angels in terrifying form; escaping fate; hekate as helper through trauma; western esotericism and the difficulty of getting what one wants; farming as hades/persephone myth; Daemons and fortune; collective fortune vs individual's; medusa, Algol, and alcohol; virgo bearing wheat and torch; hephaestus in exile; the cruelty of farming; deviance and society; chthuluscene, hekate, and medusa; food needing death; hephaestus dionysus and divine drunkenness; alchemy and the loosening of the bonds; weekend salvation cycles music: mary lattimore, more eaze, laurel halo, kai whiston, iglooghost, R.A.P. ferreira
