Summary

Traditional mythic, animist, and astrological systems have long told us that the moon is more than a distant, detached object in space, but rather plays an active role in governing the daily rhythms of life.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. I'm Josh, and this is The Emerald,
0:10.4	currents and trends through a mythic lens.
0:13.8	The podcast where we explore an ever-changing world and our lives in it
0:18.3	through the lens of myth, story, and imagination.
0:27.6	The Emerald.
0:28.6	All that's happening on this green jewel in space. Hey everyone, Josh here. Before we get into the episode today, I just want to say really quickly that feeling a lot of gratitude for how this podcast has grown and how it's reaching people and touching people and bringing together a really
0:55.9	thriving community of people who are feeling the call to the mythic, the call to the animate.
1:01.9	And as you've probably gathered, if you've been listening for a long time, the scope of the
1:06.7	podcast is kind of growing. The episodes are involving more and more musicians. The episodes are

1:51.7	please consider becoming a patron and supporting the effort that goes into creating these episodes.
1:58.3	I'm really seeing it as an artistic endeavor, a mythic endeavor, a journey of the
2:03.9	spirit, you could call it. And I really need support in order to bring that to full realization.
2:10.4	And your help, just like a little bit of help, a few a month makes that dream possible increasingly possible.
2:19.7	So yeah, if you're interested in becoming a patron, check out patreon.com slash the Emerald podcast,
2:25.7	and there are patronage levels that start as low as $6 a month.
