Archetypal Tarot Podcast

Provocative Mythology for the 21st Century The Archetypal Tarot Podcast uses the mythological story seen in the major arcana of the Tarot as an important analog of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey that includes more feminine archetypal characters and situations. Since 2011, the Archetypal Tarot Podcast has been exploring the universal human patterns of archetypes in the Tarot and uncovering mythology relevant to life in the 21st century. It’s an open-hearted, provocative exploration of psychology, spirituality, philosophy & life presented in a helpful, grounded & funny manner.

The monthly podcast is hosted by Tarot Consultant & Author Cyndera Quakenbush and Archetypal Consultant, Julienne Givot. Together and with their guests they have tackled topics such as relationships, anxiety, superstition, ecology, death, depression and more.. All episodes are available on Podbean and YouTube.
