Summary

Today we have a special treat for you in our conversation with museum professional and scholar Liz Andres. Here we discuss Liminal Beings, those mythical creatures who dwell between the worlds, of life and death, above and below, in the wilds and in the human realms. Often, they appear as hybrid creatures, half human half animal, like the Sirens or Medusa, like the randy adventurous Centaurs of yore. These beings break through binaries - they are disrupters, destabilizing the reality we thought we knew all too well. When we find them in myth, they are often magical holders of the mystery traditions, and embodiments of the unknowable and the beyond. Sounds delicious, right! Join us!

1:10.4	Worlds. Today we have a very special treat for you in our conversation with museum scholar
1:18.7	Liz Andres, whom our producer, Carolyn, turned me on to after listening to a talk she did at
1:27.2	morbid anatomy lecture series and exhibition space. So today we'll be talking with Liz about
1:34.9	liminal beings, those mythical creatures who dwell between the worlds of life and death,
1:42.2	between the above and the below. Often these creatures appear as hybrids, half human,
1:49.5	half animal, like the sirens or Medusa, or like the randy, adventurous sentars of your. These
1:58.4	beings blend through binaries. They are disruptors, destabilizing the reality that we thought we
2:08.7	knew all too well. When we find them in myth, they are often magical holders of the mystery
2:17.4	traditions and embodiments of the unknowable embodiments of the beyond. Sounds delicious, right? So
2:27.7	stay tuned to have a listen, but before you do, I just wanted to contextualize this combo for the
2:35.4	tarot a little bit. So for me, I feel like the more I know about myth, the more I have to drop
2:43.0	from in my tarot practice and in my witchcraft. So for instance, did you know that the queen of cups
2:52.0	is often considered a siren? As you listen to this episode and come to understand the sirens on a
2:59.5	deeper level, see if that changes your perception of the queen of cups. Or for usrology lovers out
