Episode 61 - Getting to Know Archetypal Tarot with Mariana Louis

Host Natasha Levinger and her co-host/husband/producer, Brett welcome Mariana Louis, archetypal taroist, psycho-spiritual educator, sacred feminist and author of Tarot and the Psychology of the Soul.

In this episode, they discuss:

• Healing as a process of clearing out what is in the way of your already whole self
• How resistance to difficult experiences keeps you from growing from them
• Shame wants to keep things in the unconscious
• What is depth psychology and how does it work with the unconscious?
• Some things may be beyond our ability to every consciously examine
• Archetypes and how they function in our life
• How tarot is a communication between your conscious, unconscious, and the collective
• Mariana wants to move the way people approach the tarot from divination to individuation
• How seeking "clarity" from the tarot can sometimes just be an attempt at ego validation
• If your goal when consulting the cards is connection, it will help keep you in the present
• Learning to connect to your own knowledge can be very daunting, but very rewarding
• Finding "the better question" instead of "the best answer" when reading the tarot
• The importance of finding neutrality as much as you can before pulling cards
• Why Mariana doesn't like it when a tarot deck renames cards to "less scary" things
• And more!

Getting to Know Woo is a podcast dedicated to dispelling the rhetoric that so-called "woo-woo" practices such as energy work, energy healing, inner child healing, chakra clearing, and more are impractical and ineffective, and instead are pragmatic, transformative, and powerful.
