Welcome back to the Quotidian Podcast. I'm Bradley Denis
In the world of astrology, the name Richard Tarnas is well known. His book Cosmos & Psyche broke ground in establishing a hybrid of Jungian archetypal psychology and a contemporary version of astrology that includes rather than repudiates modernity.
Perhaps less well known, but certainly formidable in her range and scope of knowledge is his daughter, Becca Tarnas.
Becca is a scholar, artist, and counseling astrologer, and an editor of Archai: The Journal of Archetypal Cosmology. She received her PhD in Philosophy and Religion at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco. Her dissertation is titled The Back of Beyond: The Red Books of C.G. Jung and J.R.R. Tolkien. She teaches at both Pacifica Graduate Institute and CIIS, as well as several other online education platforms, and has published one book thus far, titled Journey to the Imaginal Realm: A Reader’s Guide to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.
We spoke about the intersections of creativity in her work as an archetypal astrologer, how astrology positively impacts the world today, and what astrology holds for both the skeptical mind and the believer alike.
Dr. Tarnas' both, featured on www.astrologyhub.com later this month. Stay tuned to that address for more details.
