When Tlaozolteol presents the beheaded corn snake, a metaphor for desire - She is showing us its sacredness. Even the corn snake bleeds the sacred fluid.
In opening the snake, She reveals its inner divinity.
In opening the snake, She makes us and our desires whole.

Classicists, mythology fans, and others, I've been trying to read and/or round out my collection. I really prefer bilingual works, not simply translations. Is Loeb consistently my best bet? Are there other recommendations? Should I decide work by work?
Current work under consideration is Hesiod's Theogony, but the questions stand more generally, too.
[Feel free to tag in a Classics group if there is one]
We usually only post about professional psychology topics but are excited announce Angela's new podcast!
Its marginally on-topic in the sense that its good for therapists to understand the diverse backgrounds of their clients. The October 13th episode interviews Katrina Messenger, author of "Elemental Psychology: Using Jungian Psychology and the Sacred Elements for Spiritual Development", so that episode may overlap psychology, magick, and Jung in some way. Or not.

Premiering September 22
What’s on order for our first season — dates, topics, and guests!
The first season of the Polytheism Today podcast will be premiering next Friday, September 22, and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ve been dreaming about this podcast for over a year, but it wasn’t until this spring that I got serious. I had to give myself the deadline of the podcast launch (and tell people about it) to motivate me to actually start working on it. This summer was all about arranging and conducting interviews, learning how audio editing software worked, putting up a website, reading a bunch of books, and drafting a few commentary episodes.
So, without further ado…
When, What, and Who
A new episode will drop every Friday for 12 weeks. I have had such juicy conversations that I want to share with you over the next 3 months. Each week, I’ll post a reminder here with a link to the episode, some show notes, and a transcript of the show.
