    How to cultivate a sacred relationship with life - Sara interviews Lian

    This week’s show is a special one in which Be Mythical Soul Guide Sara J. Sanderson interviewed Lian about all things living a sacred life, inspired by our current UNIO quest: The Sacred Life Quest. In this thought-provoking episode, Lian and Sara explore the profound connection between magic and practicality, diving into how we can bring sacredness to the most mundane aspects of our daily lives. Sara’s questions guide Lian into reflections about how we often compartmentalise our lives, seeking life hacks for efficiency and solving problems, yet forgetting the inherent magic that resides in those very moments. They discuss how the act of seeking ‘quick fixes’ might sometimes lead us away from the soul-nourishing practices that offer deeper, more lasting fulfillment. Lian and Sara touch on the essential concept of sovereignty - how we can embrace the power of choice in the midst of daily life and take responsibility for our projections, which shape how we perceive our reality. They also explore how consciously creating rituals can be a bridge between the practical and the mystical, offering tools to navigate the balance between work, family, self-care, and spiritual growth. Ultimately, the episode serves as a reminder that life doesn’t have to be a dichotomy of the practical and the magical - it can be a union. Lian and Sara invite listeners to reflect on how they might approach their own lives with more intention, sovereignty, and reverence, transforming everyday actions into sacred rituals that honour both the spiritual and practical aspects of existence. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: The search for quick solutions can sometimes distance us from what truly nourishes our soul. This conversation invites us to question whether the practical hacks we rely on are truly fulfilling and soul-aligned or merely temporary fixes. We can infuse even the most mundane tasks with magic and intention, turning them into meaningful rituals that connect us with something larger than ourselves. Recognising and taking responsibility for our projections is essential for reclaiming our sovereignty, ultimately leading us to a life that feels more authentic, nourishing, and aligned with our deeper purpose.

    How to weave the hidden web of your ancestors, epigenetics & stories - Caitlín Matthews

    This week’s show is with Caitlín Matthews. Caitlín is an internationally renowned author, a teacher of shamanic training programme, a facilitator of Systemic Ritual® and the co-founder of the Foundation for Inspirational and Oracular Studies (FÍOS). Caitlín is the author of over 80 books, including Diary of a Soul Doctor, Singing the Soul Back Home, the Art of Celtic Seership, Celtic Devotional and The Celtic Book of the Dead. Her books have won a number of awards. She is known internationally for her work on the spiritual, mythic and ancestral traditions of Britain and Ireland. She teaches and works with communities and spiritual institutions worldwide from Iceland to Portugal and from USA to Australia. Caitlín is a co-founder of the Foundation for Inspirational and Oracular Studies (FÍOS), which is dedicated to the sacred arts that shape the landscape of the soul, via vision, dream and memory. FÍOS hosts masterclasses with exemplars of living, oracular sacred traditions that are rarely recorded in writing or given an honourable place in modern society. Caitlín has had a shamanic healing practice in Oxford for the last 30 years, working in the community to deepen connections to the ancestral traditions which are our heritage. In this conversation, Lian and Caitlín journey into the systemic context of shamanism - understanding how deeply interconnected we are, not only to each other but to our ancestors and the broader web of life. Together, they explore how our personal stories intertwine with ancestral narratives, shaping who we are in profound and often unseen ways. Lian and Caitlín reflect on how rituals, myths, and collective stories hold powerful keys to healing, transformation, and understanding. They journey through ancient mysteries and modern examples - from the Tarantella rituals of Southern Italy to the haunting power of ancestral stories triggered in unexpected moments. Drawing on the metaphor of the spider’s web, they illuminate the delicate balance of our interconnectedness. These threads reveal how epigenetics and cultural perspectives deeply influence our experiences of illness, healing, and personal crisis. This episode invites listeners to reconnect with the hidden threads of their own lives, transforming unconscious ancestral burdens into sources of wisdom, insight, and strength. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Healing isn't solely individual; it requires recognition of our systemic context, including familial and ancestral influences, to uncover deeper truths and lasting transformation. Myths and stories are not merely tales; they can either awaken healing narratives or stir unresolved ancestral wounds, influencing our lives profoundly. Cultivating daily awareness of our interconnectedness helps us navigate life's complexities with greater sensitivity, understanding, and alignment.

    How women can draw out masculine virtues in men - Arthur Haines

    This week’s show is with Arthur Haines. Arthur is a Maine hunting, fishing, and recreation guide, forager, ancestral skills mentor, author, public speaker, and botanical researcher.  He grew up in the western mountains of Maine, a rural area that was home to swift streams known for their trout fishing. He spent most of his childhood in the Sandy River Valley hiking, tracking, and foraging. Arthur now runs the Delta Institute of Natural History in Canton, Maine, where he teaches human ecology, focusing on the values of foraging, wildcrafting medicine, and primitive living skills.  He continues to spend a great deal of his free time practicing his skills as a modern hunter-gatherer.   In 2017, he authored “A New Path”, a comprehensive work on nature connection and rewilding, detailing how to incorporate ancestral practices into modern living.  As a research botanist for the Native Plant Trust, he completed an inclusive flora of the New England region titled “Flora Novae Angliae” and has authored over twenty publications in peer-reviewed journals and books, including naming species of plants new to science.  His series of YouTube videos has inspired thousands of people interested in foraging wild edible and medicinal plants. In this show, Lian and Arthur explore the foundational principles of masculinity - strength, bravery, mastery, and honour - not as outdated relics, but as essential qualities for men navigating modern life. Arthur brings a rare, embodied perspective to this discussion, having lived as a hunter, forager, and practitioner of ancestral skills. His insights are not theoretical - they are drawn from direct experience of what it means to provide, protect, and live in alignment with primal masculine virtues. This isn’t just about men. If a woman desires a man who embodies these virtues, her role in allowing and encouraging them is crucial. Arthur and Lian discuss how trust, receptivity, and honouring polarity create space for masculinity to thrive, while competition and control can diminish it. They explore the challenges modern culture presents and the ways women can either stifle or inspire the best in men. Together, they unpack why masculinity and femininity are complementary forces, not opposing ones. From the importance of honour to the role of provision and protection, this episode offers a rich exploration of how men and women can create stronger, more aligned relationships, families and communities. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Masculine virtues are amoral - honour defines their application. Strength, bravery, mastery, and honour are essential masculine traits, but without an honour code, they can be misused. True masculinity is about how these virtues are wielded for the good of family, community, and the land. Women shape the masculine through trust and receptivity. If a woman wants a man who embodies these virtues, she must create space for them. Trust is essential - without it, masculinity cannot emerge. Relinquishing unnecessary control allows men to provide, protect, and lead, while women refine and steer the vision. The primal masculine thrives in purpose and action. Arthur’s experience as a hunter and provider highlights how men are wired for challenge, risk, and responsibility. These qualities are not obsolete but deeply ingrained, and when honoured, they allow men to show up fully in relationships, family, and community.

    Beyond automation: AI as a catalyst for human growth - Richard Nikoley

    This week’s show is with Richard Nikoley. Richard was born and raised in Reno, Nevada, the son of a German immigrant. He attended a private, church-run high school before moving on to Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga for his first year of college. He later transferred to Oregon State University, where he graduated in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, along with minors in mathematics/computer science and naval science. During his time at OSU, he was a member of the NROTC unit and was commissioned as a Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) in the U.S. Navy upon graduation. Richard’s naval career began with eight months of training in San Diego, California, followed by a deployment to Yokosuka, Japan. There, he served on the USS REEVES (CG-24) from 1984 to 1987 in various roles, including Assistant Missiles Officer, First Lieutenant, and Electrical Officer. He then joined the U.S. SEVENTH FLEET aboard the USS BLUE RIDGE (LCC-19) from 1988 to 1989, managing a substantial fuel budget as Assistant Fleet Scheduling Officer and Assistant Logistics Officer. After five years in Japan, Richard moved to Monterey, California, to study French at the Defense Language Institute. This led to an exchange officer position with the French Navy from 1989 to 1992, where he served as Navigator on the FNS COLBERT (C 611) and FNS DUQUESNE (D 603). He left the Navy in 1992 and returned to the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1993, Richard founded a company that grew significantly over a 20-year period. Although he was married for much of that time, since 2019, he and his former spouse have maintained a friendly relationship while pursuing separate lifestyles. Since January 2020, Richard has been living in Thailand as an unintended expat. Initially planning to be digital and nomadic, he decided to settle more permanently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, he built a house in a rural province and wrote extensively about COVID-19, masks, lockdowns, and global drug trials - earning recognition for his insights. Currently, Richard manages multiple income streams while engaging in various creative pursuits. He writes, makes videos, takes long walks, swims and snorkels in the tropical ocean, rides a motorcycle without a helmet, and enjoys cooking and eating exquisite food. A self-proclaimed gym junkie and honorary "Bro," Richard is known for his clever and well-crafted writing. In this show, Richard and Lian explore the intersections of artificial intelligence, truth, and human evolution. They discuss Julian Jaynes’ theory of the bicameral mind, the rapid development of AI, and the deeper question of what it means to be conscious. Richard shares how his skepticism about AI turned into curiosity. He describes AI as a logic machine - highly intelligent but without awareness or intrinsic values. They examine whether AI’s ability to process vast amounts of information makes it an unlikely yet powerful force for truth. Together, they reflect on AI’s role in democratising knowledge and the philosophical implications of intelligence without consciousness. Could AI push humanity toward greater awareness, or does it merely highlight our limitations? As technology continues to evolve, this episode challenges listeners to consider: what does it mean to be truly intelligent, and what does it take to be conscious? We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: AI operates as a logic machine, not a conscious entity. While AI can simulate human intelligence, it lacks self-awareness, emotions, and personal values. However, its ability to analyze information might make it one of the most effective truth-seeking tools we’ve ever created. Intelligence and consciousness do not always go hand in hand. Drawing from Julian Jaynes' theory, Richard and Lian discuss how past civilisations perhaps functioned without the kind of self-awareness we assume is universal. AI, like early humans, can operate with intelligence but without a conscious inner world. AI could redefine human potential rather than replace it. As AI automates tasks and challenges traditional roles, it may not eliminate jobs so much as shift human focus toward creativity, philosophy, and problem-solving. Rather than competing with AI, humans may need to expand their own awareness.

    The portal of the plate: How to journey consciously with food, ethics & liberation - Matthew C. Halteman

    This week’s show is with Matthew C. Halteman. Matthew is professor of philosophy at Calvin University (MI, USA) and the Oxford Centre for Animals Ethics (UK). He is the author of Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan and co-editor of Philosophy Comes to Dinner: Arguments about the Ethics of Eating. Matthew’s work is driven by deep commitments to human flourishing, animal freedom, food systems transformation, and communal cooperation to realise as much truth, beauty, and goodness as we collectively can. He loves Arsenal Football Club, the television show Twin Peaks, and vegan desserts (especially tiramisu!). In this rich and thought-provoking conversation, Lian and Matt explore the profound intersections between dietary choices, ethics, and the search for a more liberated way of living. Matt shares how his agricultural roots once framed his understanding of food, only for a childhood visit to a slaughterhouse to plant a seed of dissonance that would take decades to fully bloom. Through philosophy, emotional connection, and a series of serendipitous interventions, he found himself drawn to a new way of being - one that prioritises creaturely flourishing over rigid ideology. The conversation weaves through the personal and the mythical, touching on the tensions between authenticity and openness, the allure of fundamentalism, and the freedom found in conscious food choices. Lian also reflects on her own lifelong path as a vegan, seeing it through a fresh lens of self-inquiry and deeper meaning. This is not just a discussion about diet; it’s an invitation to rethink our most ordinary, intimate rituals - what we eat, why we eat it, and how that shapes the world we create. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Food is more than sustenance—it is ritual, identity, and philosophy. Whether we realise it or not, our dietary choices are woven into our values, relationships, and personal mythologies. Flourishing matters more than dogma. Instead of rigid rules, Matt invites us to see going vegan not as an ‘ism’ but as an aspiration—one that prioritises the joy and freedom of all living beings rather than simply avoiding harm. The mythical exists in the mundane. By examining something as fundamental as food, we open doors to greater self-awareness, transformation, and connection to the sacred in everyday life.

    Beyond coincidence: How to embrace the magic of synchronicity - Mike Bais

    In this week’s show Lian is joined once again by Mike Bais. Mike is a physiotherapist, counselor, university lecturer and author, also having had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest in the esoteric christian tradition, which lead him to follow the mystical side of this lineage called the A.S.A. (Apostolic Succession of Arimathea). He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure. His esoteric training comes from the western mystery tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. Living in the Netherlands (Utrecht) he extensively worked with teachers and groups in the UK.  After some decades of study and practice in the western esoteric tradition, the inner work came together in these three streams or disciplines that make up the Circle of Avalon. Mike sees it as his life’s work to teach these traditions to whomever wishes to receive them. He is a mystic and teacher by nature and through his groups, individual sessions, workshops and writing, transmits them in the most pure and true way he knows. Mike is the author of 3 books: Paths on the Tree of Wisdom – A course in 21st Century Kabbalah, A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 1 and A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 2. In this show, a part 2 to last week’s episode on fate and destiny, Mike and Lian explore the deep mystery of synchronicity—how meaningful coincidences shape our spiritual journeys and reveal hidden connections between the seen and unseen realms. Together, they trace the threads of psychological time, archetypal resonance, and the transformative potential of recognising synchronicity as a guiding force in our lives. Drawing from Jungian psychology, Kabbalistic teachings, and mythopoetic wisdom, they uncover how synchronicity isn’t mere coincidence but an intricate dialogue between our inner and outer worlds. Jung described synchronicity as an acausal connection between events that hold personal meaning, bridging the gap between the material and metaphysical realms. They discuss how we can cultivate awareness of these signs, interpret them in service of our spiritual path, and discern their deeper meaning without falling into superstition or over-interpretation. Throughout this rich and soulful discussion, Lian and Mike invite listeners to consider the ways synchronicity can awaken them to their own mythic journey. How can we sharpen our perception to notice synchronicities when they arise? What role does psychological time play in these moments? And how can recognising the larger archetypal patterns help us live a more meaningful life? Join them on this journey into the heart of synchronicity, where myth meets reality, and where the unseen forces of life conspire to lead us toward wholeness. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Synchronicity as a Mirror of the Soul: Jung described synchronicity as an event that has no apparent causal connection yet holds profound personal meaning. These moments reveal the interconnectedness of our inner and outer worlds, guiding us toward greater self-awareness and spiritual insight. Cultivating Synchronicity in Daily Life: Developing presence and intuitive awareness allows us to notice synchronicities as they unfold and integrate their wisdom into our path. Rather than dismissing them as coincidences, we can recognise them as invitations from the unseen to deepen our engagement with life. The Mythic Thread of Synchronicity: Synchronicities often link to archetypal stories and patterns, offering a bridge between personal experiences and the deeper currents of collective meaning. Understanding these patterns can help us see our own lives as part of a greater mythic unfolding.

    How to live your destiny: Kabbalah wisdom on the soul's path - Mike Bais

    This week’s show is with Mike Bais. Mike is a physiotherapist, counselor, university lecturer and author, also having had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest in the esoteric christian tradition, which led him to follow the mystical side of this lineage called the A.S.A. (Apostolic Succession of Arimathea). He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure. His esoteric training comes from the western mystery tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. Living in the Netherlands (Utrecht) he extensively worked with teachers and groups in the UK.  After some decades of study and practice in the western esoteric tradition, the inner work came together in these three streams or disciplines that make up the Circle of Avalon. Mike sees it as his life’s work to teach these traditions to whomever wishes to receive them. He is a mystic and teacher by nature and through his groups, individual sessions, workshops and writing, transmits them in the most pure and true way he knows. Mike is the author of 3 books: Paths on the Tree of Wisdom – A course in 21st Century Kabbalah, A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 1 and A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 2. In this show, Mike and Lian dive into the rich and resonant realms of fate, destiny, and the stories that shape our lives. Together, they unpack the profound distinctions between fate—the patterns of biology, psychology, and ancestry—and destiny, the call to align with a purpose beyond oneself. Mike illuminates how fate begins in the inherited aspects of our DNA, family culture, and societal conditioning, often creating a sense of limitation that prompts us to seek deeper meaning. Lian reflects on how trauma and challenge, while seemingly random, can act as gateways to growth and understanding, inviting us to uncover the deeper purpose behind them. They explore the Kabbalistic Tree of Life as a powerful map for navigating fate and destiny, emphasising the journey from ego-driven patterns to the heart’s wisdom at Tiferet, where self-awareness blooms into authenticity. Finally, they bring the myth of Chiron, the wounded healer, into focus, using his story to illuminate the transformative power of embracing wounds as steps toward grace and union. Together, they weave a soulful conversation, inviting listeners to see their challenges as part of a greater unfolding and to explore the myths that resonate deeply with their own lives. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode: Fate is the foundation of our inherited patterns—physical, psychological, and cultural—that often seem like limitations but hold the seeds of self-awareness and transformation. Individual fate begins when we start to wake up to our own deeper truth. It’s the call to authenticity, the moment we realise we are more than the roles we’ve been shaped into by family and society. This awakening often comes through crisis, inner conflict, or a deep yearning for something more. Destiny is the call to transcend ego and our individual self and align with something greater. It emerges when we allow grace and service to guide us. The myths and archetypes that call to us hold deep personal meaning, acting as mirrors and guides to our own path of fate and destiny.

In short, Be Mythical is the antidote for old souls struggling to find their way in this new world. Listen now to join us for the mythical adventure that your soul has been calling you into. Our love and blessings, Lian & Jonathan
