Symbolic Studies

In this episode, we focus our attention toward the second sign of the zodiac: Taurus, the Bull. As usual, I’m joined by my wife and co-host, Michelle, as we dig deep into the fertile soil of Taurus symbolism to unearth some of the more esoteric aspects of the sign. We cover themes including the sacred cow and its abundant offerings that tie in with Venus and Earth symbolism. We discuss various runic connections as well as the signs’s correspondence to the throat as the "inner ear" or "voice of the heart". Additionally, we cover the major arcana correspondence in The Hierophant. As always, this episode features voicemails and insights from our regular contributors Emily Ridout and Katriena Emmanuel. We also have special guest appearances by Jord, Noah Campbell and Tom Mac, along with a few voicemails submitted by listeners like yourself. Enjoy!
