Awakening Aphrodite 221. The Mythology in Your Stars: Learning From Oracle Cards, the Tarot & Mythic Heroines with Letao Wang
Did you know that astrology is fundamentally related to mythical tales of gods, goddesses, and supernatural earthy phenomenon?
Yes! In fact, mythology is the very foundation of human civilization. We developed higher cognition and language through storytelling: the symbolic retelling of relationships, tragedies, heroic acts and our understanding of the natural world around us. We familiarized ourselves with the mysterious star-shapes in the sky through storytelling.
Letao Wang, my guest today, is an expert on the connections between mythology, astrology and psychology. He is an accomplished astrologist and tarot specialist and the founder and spiritual counselor of the Healing Kingdom. Since 2015, Wang has served clients both in his local city of Hong Kong and internationally, offering insights through astrology, tarot, and numerology readings. Alongside this, he pens the astrology column for the well-known Hong Kong Living Magazine.
In this episode, you'll learn about working with Letao's amazing oracle cards, the tarot, and a practical application of Ancient Greek mythology. Letao discusses the differences between deity worship and the study of archetypes as well as the beautiful myths of Helen of Troy, Queen Penelope of Ithaca, Orpheus the Wounded Healer, and Atalanta, the swiftest woman in the world, and how these characters shed insight on our everyday journeys through life.
