Panther energy in poetry

Send us a text

This episode explores the poetic and spiritual significance of Sylvia Plath's 'Pursuit,' delving into themes of sexuality, violence, and the primal nature of both. It also examines the dark side of divinity from the dark Divine within the self, and the ways we use and engage that Divinity with tools, like oracle cards, which was the inspiration for this episode.

In this episode, I connect the poem to the animal energy of the Panther in the Wild Unknown Animal Spirit deck, speaking on the shared invitations of purging for self-growth, embracing the shadow- self through vulnerable, erotic self-love, and using the Panther archetype in relation to collective struggle and to make space for a new, brave, prosperous, and vital self.

My goal with this episode is to bring two of my great loves together, and show you how cards like tarot or oracle give super juicy, delicious meanings when we find them in context to the rest of our lives, like a poem. 

 **Trigger Warning** This poem does have elements of both a sexual and violent nature. If you do not wish to hear the poem, skip ahead to the 8:00 minute mark

Happy New Year! Thanks for listening.
