Spring has arrived! In this episode, I’m joined by my wonderful wife Michelle, as we discuss the rich symbolism of Aries. We explore many symbolic aspects of the sign including its relationship to Mars, spring, childhood, fire, The Emperor card, sulfur and much more. For the first time, we're featuring listener voicemails, something we're both excited about. This new format brings added depth to the show and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed. Enjoy!

In this podcast episode, I'm joined by my lovely wife Michelle and together we explore the depths that is Piscean symbolism. In an effort to be well rounded, we highlight the good, bad and ugly aspects of the sign. I also read some comments and answered a few questions about Pisces.

This podcast was available exclusively for patrons for the first week. Early access to the Symbolic Studies podcast will be a new monthly offering in addition to an exclusive Symbolic Secrets episode. Also, if you're wondering why this is the second episode it's because I recorded my first "official" episode a while back! In Ep. 1 I interviewed GB Marian about Egyptian and Setian symbolism and have decided to revive the show and also switch up its format. Enjoy.

I started a podcast! For this maiden voyage I reached out to G.B. Marian whose work and spiritual perspective focuses on the Egyptian deity Set. G.B. is part of a Setian coven and has been studying Egyptology for most of his life. I’ve become increasingly interested with Set in recent years mostly due to his associations with Ursa Major (The Big Dipper) and, to be honest, I couldn't have asked for a better guest to discuss this relationship with. G.B. provided a TON of useful information and insights which I’m extremely grateful for. Enjoy.
