Various Astral Guests on a Veterans Day Special- The Warrior Archetype: Shaman, Philosopher, and Healer

Summary

Host Miguel Conner of Aeon Byte asks what lies behind today's endless, disastrous wars and the decline of healthy masculinity in Western culture. He proposes reclaiming the Warrior Archetype, the honorable yet savage side of the Jungian Animus, as a source of wise order and inspiring art. Recorded for Veterans Day, the episode features two veterans turned healers, Dr. Cherlyn Jones and Mahaon Makridopoulos, who draw on Jungian psychology and the ancient Greek healing tradition of Asklepios.
