    Season 4, Ep 2 - Leonora Carrington: The Imaginal Realm and the Witches of Surrealism

    Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) was an imaginative, rebellious, and otherworldly surrealist painter, writer, mother, and activist. She emigrated from England to Mexico during WWII where she spent the remaining five decades of her life, painting over 2000 works, writing 2 novels, a memoir, and several short stories and plays. Though her legacy is often overshadowed by her male contemporaries (specifically by her love affair with Max Ernst), her influence remains massively significant as one of the most famous artists out of Mexico.

    For our first episode of season 4, we welcome natural perfume pioneer, author, and educator, the absolutely iconic Mandy Aftel.

    Coven - Season 3, Episode 9: Arabella Thaïs

    Arabella Thais is a philosopher, writer, and researcher whose work explores the metaphysics of time, symbolic systems, and the aesthetic structure of reality. She is a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy and physics at the California Institute of Integral Studies, lectures internationally, and serves as a peer reviewer for the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Physics. Her research engages with retrocausality, depth psychology, and sacred number—drawing on influences from Heidegger to Hildegard von Bingen. Arabella is also the founder of The Temple of Truth, a mystery school devoted to consciousness, cosmology, and high-frequency living. We were honored to virtually sit down Arabella for our season finale, and as expected, this conversation was so rich and inspiring. We discussed a wide range of topics, from her perspectives of time, to chaos theory, to addiction, to petrichor as a state of consciousness, to her upcoming book "On Being and Becoming", to aspects in her own natal chart and so much more.

    Coven - Season 3, Episode 8: Clarice Lispector

    Clarice Lispector (1920-1977) was a linguistic alchemist, translator of the invisible, and stream of consciousness poet, best known for her novels, Agua Viva, Near to the Wild Heart, and The Passion According to G.H. Often compared to eccentric existential authors such as Albert Camus and stream of consciousness royalty like Virginia Woolf, Lispector remains undefinable, opting to linger in the land of the intangible and formless. The Ukrainian-born, Brazilian-raised writer left a legacy behind as a household name in much of Brazil, while remaining relatively obscure in the American zeitgeist. In this episode we discuss her natal chart, her limitless attitude, her trance like writing, her tumultuous upbringing, her natural genius, and her incredibly inspiring unbothered demeanor.

    Coven - Season 3, Episode 7: Becca Tarnas

    In this episode we had the pleasure to sit down with our mentor and professor, Becca Tarnas. Becca is a scholar, artist, and archetypal astrologer. She is currently a professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies, where she wrote her doctoral dissertation on the Red Books of Carl Jung and J.R.R Tolkien. She's also the author of Journey to the Imaginal Realm: A Reader’s Guide to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, an editor of Archai: The Journal of Archetypal Cosmology, and is working on a biography of transpersonal psychology legend, Stanislav Grof. In this conversation, we discuss everything from the history of archetypes and mythology, to her research on Stan Grof, to motherhood and the lens shift that followed, to her own natal chart, to her experiences being raised by the iconic archetypal astrologer and historian Rick Tarnas (author of "Cosmos and Psyche"), to the complexities of binaries, to the Witch vs the Wizard, and so much more.
