Episode #6 Recorded 5/14/2011

In the first segment we start with a discussion of the recent death of Osama bin Laden, and the correlations to the collective transits.  Then Delia explores the fascinating case of Siri Hustvedt, "The Shaking Woman," and her recent interview with NPR's Terri Gross.  Then I look at the case of filmmaker Paul Haggis and his recent disillusionment with the Church of Scientology. We only did two segments this time, and in the "honoring the gods" segment we focused on the Saturn-Pluto archetype, and a very rich conversation ensues.  We do a general overview of a number of themes associated with the archetype, then Delia, who is born with the combination, shares a bit of her own experience with it.  We then close with an exploration of how Saturn-Pluto has something to do with the potential for facing and integrating the shadow.  We discuss how it is an archetype found in the charts of a number of people who have focused on "shadow work," like Carl Jung, Alice Miller, Anne Shulgin, and others.  Lastly I bring in a personal example of someone whose work I experienced directly in college, Danish photographer and racism-awareness facilitator Jacob Holdt, whose slide show "American Pictures" opened me to the power of racism in the United States.  You can go directly to the recording (and listen to the podcast in an open browser window) by clicking on the highlighted text here.  Enjoy!
