    Why Icarus Needed To Fall: Grandiosity, Vision & The Necessary Descent Into Maturity

    The story of Icarus is often told as a cautionary tale. Don’t fly too high. Don’t dream too big. Don’t overreach. But what if the fall was never the mistake? In this episode of The Wyrd Way, Dean unpacks the archetypal function of grandiosity within the psyche, the part of us that believes we can create anything, that calls us beyond limitation, that dares us to imagine something greater. This grandiose spark is not pathology. It is initiation. It is the childlike visionary that says: “Go. Leave. Become.” But what that part doesn’t tell us is that the journey will lead through the underworld, through discipline, structure, confrontation with reality, identity death, and the slow forging of maturity. Icarus needed to fall. Because the fall grounds the vision. The descent shapes the visionary. The underworld matures the dreamer. In this episode we explore: The archetypal meaning of Icarus The role of grandiosity in the hero’s journey Why vision must be paired with structure The danger of spiritual bypassing The necessity of the underworld Holding both magic and the mundane Becoming the bridge between dream and reality This is not about shrinking your vision. It is about becoming the one who can hold it.   Core Themes Archetypal psychology Grandiosity as developmental stage The hero’s journey Initiation & underworld descent Spiritual bypassing Vision vs. structure Child → Adult maturation Holding polarity (magic & mundane) Embodied becoming   Time Stamps: 00:00 – The return of The Wyrd Way 06:20 – Entering the myth of Icarus 10:30 – The function of grandiosity 14:10 – Vision without structure 17:50 – The underworld as forge 19:55 – Vision as becoming 23:20 – Reclaiming your grand vision 26:30 – Holding magic and mundane   About Dean: Dean Bentley is a speaker, mentor and host of The Wyrd Way podcast.

    Is Your Magick Shit? w/Daniel Erulian

    Welcome Back Wyrd Wayer's   This was one of my favourite episodes to record. There is a deep appreciation when I get to have a fellow magician on and dive into the depths of conversations and this episode was exactly that.   One of my favourite things is having guests on that have spent the time and energy learning of themselves and ancient wisdom traditions. People that I myself get to learn from and explore concepts, ideas and ways of being.    In this episode, Daniel takes us deep right away with and then we get to explore myths, magic, runes, tantra and so much more. We touch of hermeticism, the importance of lineage and what it means to apprentice to the mystery.    Go check out the full episode, and connect with Daniel below   Remember to share, tag and let us know what landed for you.    Connect with Daniel Erulian: Instagram Daniel Erulian (ritualembodiment.com) House of Mages Instagram   Connect with me: Dean Bentley (@thedeanbentley) • Instagram photos and videos Mentoring Inquiry Soul Method Community

    The Transformative Powers of The Darkness & Learning To Be Human in The Modern World w/Hallie Rose

    Welcome Back Wyrd Wayers,   This is a special episode for me. I got to welcome a dear guest onto the show, Hallie Rose.    Hallie has been someone that had been a massive part of my journey and awakening. And was my first mentor, and coach (which we dive into a bit in this episode). Returning to this podcast many years later, and experience both our changes, was a special experience.   In this episode we dive into, the nuances of transformation and the journey it takes to stay committed to one's heart and soul, he struggles of building something we love and reaching success, only to discover it may have not been what we wanted or changed into something that no longer we loved, the journey into the dark and some of the programs that are apparent within the coaching industry.   This was an incredible conversation that covered a wide variety of topics. With so much gold.    Remember to like, share and let us know what you think.    Hallie Rose is an author, speaker, educator, and relationship coach from New York City. She is also the founder & CEO of Lunar Wild which aims to reclaim the sacred feminine and address a modern need for a Rite of Passage into womanhood and host of The Thought Room Podcast Connect with Hallie Rose: Listen to The Thought Room Podcast Hallie Rose (@hallie_rosebud) • Instagram photos and videos Email | thoughtroompodcast@gmail.com Website Hallie Rose    Connect with me: Dean Bentley (@thedeanbentley) • Instagram photos and videos Mentoring Inquiry Soul Method Community

    Stopping Chaos By Building Internal Foundations w/Dean Bentley

    Welcome Back Wyrd Wayers,   I've noticed a trend in many of the healing spaces I've been in (and this is a reflection for myself when I've been in them) is the constant seeking of peak experiences and the creation of chaos in their lives as a way to experience the INTENSITY their nervous system craves in the every day.   This can be a sign of trauma, of an unregulated nervous system and an indication that reparenting needs to occur. This is the process of healing the inner child who may not have received the love and support that was desired at the time. This helps to self source and validate the self and stops the need for an individual to chase or fix themselves to show they are worthy of love.   The theme of "fixing" the self through personal development and spirituality is one of the biggest shadows of the industry. And one of the biggest opportunities for healing within the self. When there is recognition, that the self is deserving of love as they are. Allowing healing to become a form of self love instead of self flagellation.   Remember to like, share and tell me what lands. Helping this podcast grow and the people that need it, receive it.   It is a pleasure to be of service.

    The Nuance of Healing and Finding Freedom Beyond Defeat w/Dean Bentley

    Welcome Back Wyrd Wayer's   This week was a dousy, we dive into some of the conversations that don't happen much around the healing space and the nuance of how to go beyond the surface level of some of the common new age spirituality, and tap beneath into what sits beneath.   This means looking at where our desire for healing is coming from. Is it because we don't feel good enough? Well that is the program that needs healing. For else, we become simply well adjusted humans to a world that isn't exactly sane.    This episode is great if you've been feeling stuck, facing a challenge or constantly up against the same block again and again. I share ways I navigate and come into relationship for myself and how we can move from this into a relationship with truth, acceptance and then from here, move to create change.    For those that wish to dive deeper, The Soul Method Community is open. This is a donation-based community (with also a lot of free content) to support those wanting to explore what it means to be fully alive and fully human in this wild world.  Connect with me: Dean Bentley (@thedeanbentley) • Instagram photos and videos Mentoring Inquiry Soul Method Community

    Grief As The Healing For Humanity w/Dean Bentley

    Welcome Back Wyrd Wayers,   This is a prayer of grief. For the simplicity of being you. The one that casts aside all ideas and illusions of grandeur and come into relationship with the fact you are already grand.    Grief is a pathway home to the heart. It is the water that wears away the stone to reveal the marvel beneath. It cuts away the layers that were not us.   This is a real and raw share to help you remember you get to be you, who you are is enough and all the other stories are the grief wishing to be known.    Come home my friend.    Connect with me: The Temple w/Dean Bentley - YouTube Dean Bentley (@thedeanbentley) • Instagram photos and videos Dean Bentley's Coaching (mykajabi.com) Apply to work with me

    Using Burnout As A Gateway To Initiation w/Dean Bentley

    Welcome Back Wyrd Wayer's   We have another solocast today. This was an episode inspired by a recent workshop I did, The Soul Method. A common theme that I witnessed this evening was the feeling of burnout that SO many people can experience when it comes to business.    These layers of shame, imposter syndrome and perfectionism that lives at the root of this. Keeping a person running. How then can we use burnout as an initiation to deeper healing and returning to ourselves?    This is the invitation. This is asking that you meet the fear. To alchemize the layers of conditioning that live within this.    This is a powerful episode for anyone who is building their own business, who has been afraid of stopping or have been unable to meet the layers of fear they experience.    Remember to like, rate and share this podcast.    Connect with me: Join The Temple Facebook The Temple w/Dean Bentley - YouTube Dean Bentley (@thedeanbentley) • Instagram photos and videos Dean Bentley's Coaching (mykajabi.com) Apply to work with me
