#128 - John Michael Greer – Revisioning the Tree of Life - John Gilbert’s Cabala 12/27/2025

#128 - John Michael Greer – Revisioning the Tree of Life - John Gilbert’s Cabala John Michael Greer is an award-winning author of over fifty books and an initiate of Freemasonry, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Martinist Order, and several Druid traditions. He also served for twelve years as Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America. I’m delighted to be with him to explore some of the themes from, what at this exact moment is his newest book, "Revisioning the Tree of Life; A New Cabala for Magic, Meditation and Pathworking" – it is hard to keep track when you are such an active gemini mind that John is. Join us as we talk about: -How John Michael Greer came to take on the work of John Gilbert -Why Western occultism can be understood as Middle Platonism dressed in wizard’s robes -Use the Tree of Life as a tool (not a truth) -Here is a quote that I reflect back to John: "As I write these words, the Western world is stumbling through a cascade of difficult cultural transformations set in motion by the failure of the cult of progress mentioned earlier, to make good on its promises. The rationalist materialism that provided that cult with its impetus has begun to crumble as it became clear to too many people that the artificial world coupled together by human reason in the service of collective ego has turned out to be unfit for human habitation. The most common response to that realization is to fight back to the dogmatic religious ideologies of an earlier day. Too few people have noticed that it was precisely those belief systems with their inevitable abuses in the hands of entrenched and often despotic hierarchies that made rationalist materialism inevitable and built the foundations for its temporary triumph." -that leads to us talking about progress.... John says we trust progress like a superstition ! -If archetypes are not only psychological, the implications are .....? Think with us please.. how archetypes move through individuals and manifest collectively, is it energies trying to express themselves through us? John speaks about how Figuration that is a shifting pattern of interdependence formed by human beings – things are not as solid as they seem -DESIRE (one of my favorit themes that John mentions in his book) Remember: we desire what we do not fully possess....... is all desire for the Divine? Possibly! -Projections of shadow (can you hear how close occultism and in depth trauma therapy is?) -The second triad with WILL, IMAGINATION and MEMORY -the tree of life and archetypes and how it helps to have more control, to have thoughts rather than thoughts having you (again link trauma therapy and....the great Merlin!) -John’s strong Gemini emphasis, which is what I feel he refers to as his two secret weapons -What lead John to the Kabbalah and to the Golden Dawn Order -The Aquarian versus Piscean view of community and visions of the future (talking about the ages that last about 2160 years) -The beautiful Gemini Saturn link that reflects how John Michael Greer became an authority on traditions that raised his curiosity and that he was and still is able to write about in understandable language. Thank you for being with us and wishing you a wonderful end of the year, we have been through a lot together in 2025 havent we?!? Wishing you a magic transition into the new year coming up – or a lot of good energy to when ever you are, as you read this! I will be back in the new year with authors who influence and inspire us, all coming with different pieces of the puzzle! Remember... You have a place to call WHOLE. -Mannah LINKS link to video version: the book we speak of: Johns interactive website: Mannah: /episode/index/show/512e5124-0d53-49a8-9bca-c32a2c148b24/id/39521750

#123 - Oholomo - AWAKENING THE BELOW- Navigating through Darkness and Spiritual Emergency Let's talk about navigating darkness! Everyone on a spiritual path encounters challenges, and in this chapter of TAP we meet author Oholomo, who talks about rather than transcending or letting go, we can welcome and fully embody them- so that its energy can be liberated and expressed in the present. When we awaken DOWN into life it begins with a Descent. The call to the Below can take many forms and we each have our own personal experience of it. Like Oholomo says in this book, "Awakening the below": "Once we turn toward the call, whether through our choice or not, a chasm will open up and we will be drawn down into its darkness. This process is never a perfectly step-by-step linear one, and everyone’s experience is unique. Some people find themselves having dramatic mystical experiences when moving through the Below, while others have more of a gradual unfolding. Some people experience high levels of absorption whereby their entire reality seems to be shaped by the Below to the exclusion of all else. Others are able to maintain a wider, more holistic perspective that allows them to do the work of integration as they go along. Awakening the Above and Below may happen sequentially or simultaneously, or perhaps all mixed together." People, you really don’t want to miss this one—especially if you’ve known darkness in your own life. My hope is that it inspires you to go deeper and experiment with a model that isn’t about disidentifying from the darkness, but about fully sinking into it. Oholomo articulates this with such clarity, and his voice has a quality that seems to draw you directly into the Below, I feel inspired to move further myself. Welcoming any comment you might have as usual. -Mannah Links The book we speak about: ATB20 -code valid until 17/12/25 and will give you 20% off Oholomo: Mannah: /episode/index/show/512e5124-0d53-49a8-9bca-c32a2c148b24/id/39038060

#122 - Paul Marcus - Psychoanalysis and the Wisdom of Ecclesiastes - A Time to Heal 11/14/2025

#122 - Paul Marcus - Psychoanalysis and the Wisdom of Ecclesiastes - A Time to Heal You’ve got to hear this one! At least if you’re not afraid of talking about meaninglessness — and the antidote to it. My guest today has combined his psychoanalytic lens with a deep reading of an ancient biblical text. I love combining perspectives, especially when the purpose is healing! Meet Paul Marcus, PhD — psychoanalyst, supervisor, and author of numerous books. Today we dive into the themes of his newest work, Psychoanalysis and the Wisdom of Ecclesiastes (Routledge, 2025). As they write in the book description: “Psychoanalysis and the Wisdom of Ecclesiastes will be of interest to psychoanalysts exploring spirituality and the human condition, and to academics and students of psychoanalytic studies, religious studies, Judaic studies, and philosophy.” Tap in with us as we explore: – Perspectives on meaninglessness — because life really does feel that way sometimes (but LOVE changes everything!) – Who Koheleth was, and how he moved through despair – The psychology of work: job, career, and calling – The Moon, Pluto, and South Node as symbols of a self-centered or image-focused mother – Ways of healing and why we become therapists! Freud is every present in the conversation - here is a quote from the book to understand why: "Koheleth, like Freud, is characterized by his unshakable intellectual honesty, his courageous use of reason in facing the most agonizing problems of life, his absolute refusal to sureness where he saw ambiguity and uncertainty, and the relentless devotion to truth, regardless of the uncomfortable ramification in one’s personal life". I truly loved talking to Paul Marcus, his honesty touched me, and I deeply appreciate that. Let’s say it like it is: sometimes it’s tough. We meet resistance, not only in our clients but within ourselves, and there are good reasons for that. Change takes time. So I hope you feel inspired by this ancient preacher we talk about — and mind you, we speak of the text in a symbolic, not literal, way...

#121 - Phil Mollon - The Physics of the Mind – New Perspectives for Psychotherapists, Healers and Seekers 11/07/2025

#121 - Phil Mollon - The Physics of the Mind – New Perspectives for Psychotherapists, Healers and Seekers "Once we start to think of the mind as itself consisting of a kind of “space”, which other fields of influence can shape, distort, or form pathways within, there are many obvious parallels with the physics of the cosmos." Quote from our guest today Phil Mollon, who is currently with this new book: "The Physics of the Mind – New Perspectives for Psychotherapists, Healers and Seekers", 2026, by Karnac Books. Phil Mollon, PhD, is a psychoanalyst, clinical psychologist, and energy psychotherapist. He is well-known as a writer and speaker on topics including shame, trauma, dissociation, self-psychology, and EMDR – and has pioneered the development of psychoanalytic energy psychotherapy. TAP in as we speak about: How the human mind is a fractal of cosmos Quantum in the dreamworld Therapy and superposition The unified field is a self-organizing living system How information is stored holographically and the structure of the brain follows a holographic pattern and minds are organs for dealing with information! The physics is as usual a little beyond my understanding (Mannah here) so here is a qoute from the book to help: "The mind and brain display quantum qualities. Although the brain influences consciousness, there is also a way in which consciousness selects brain states in both self and other." This is when we speak of the primacy of consciousness What does it imply that we are plasma? The concept of mental radio In closing Phil shares something to reflect on; the parallel of the speed of light and of thoughts (Here is a quote from pga 62 that underlines that: "A computer with a slower processor can do most of the same tasks as a faster processor, just more slowly. Many educational systems fail to recognise neurodiversity and the relativity of different brains and modes of learning (Forchelli et al., 2022). Moreover, there can be advantages in slowing the presentation of information right down, as in meditation. The equation indicates that as the movement of conscious focus slows towards a point, intelligence expands towards infinity!") I hope you were inspired!!

#116 - Kaedrich Olsen- Sacred Masculinity & Norse Archetypes Beyond the Warrior Kaedrich Olsen is a seasoned Paranormal Arts Mentor, and in this episode he shares about Sacred Masculinity and how to relate to the modern world through inspiration from Norse mysticism. A small note from me: I trusted my microphone to be on, but it didn’t connect to my computer for some reason, so my audio is less fortunate — I hope you can flow with it!! Tap in to hear some juicy parts about how Kaedrich has been studying Norse mythology, mysticism, and the old belief systems since his teenage years. He discovered the runes and even translated the Poetic Edda himself to understand the Old Norse mindset. The Norse people lived with spirituality as an everyday part of life — what we call the supernatural was simply the invisible part of nature. TAP in as we dive into the topic of the sacred masculine and: -The mature warrior is calm, self-contained, and protects out of love for what’s behind him — family, home, community. – The sovereign archetype, or sacred king, holds vision, builds alliances, and uplifts others rather than hoarding power. – In Old Norse stories, the best rulers were called “Ring Breakers” and “Haters of Gold” because they gave away wealth to strengthen their people. – Not just warriores, but the craftsman, the magician, the sage – Take individual responsibility and choose what truly makes sense to you instead of following the collective mindset – The current turmoil in the world is like a collective shadow surfacing, calling us to evolve – Loki, the Norse trickster, stirs things up and creates discomfort, but when the dust settles, everyone is better off!! – I also get his take on the Vikings tv-series- he in stead recommends “The North Man” and “The Last Kingdom” and shares that Ragnar Lothbrok is “sort of like a King Arthur figure,” likely an “amalgam.” Thank you for being with us!

#113 - Paul Hughes-Barlow - The Secret of the Thoth Tarot - The Origins of Aleister Crowley’s Book of Thoth "The Book of Thoth inspires students to progress from foundational knowledge of Magick and Mysticism to a deeper engagement with the writings of Aleister Crowley and other luminaries".... "Step onto the sacred path mapped by the Book of Thoth—a gateway to spiritual mastery and cosmic understanding. Whether you’re an aspirant seeking the wisdom of the A∴A∴ or a student of esoteric traditions, this profound manual offers the Keys to navigate the Map of the Universe." - (Direct quotation from by Paul Hughes-Barlow) Welcome to an episode that goes behind the new book "THE SECRET OF THE THOTH TAROT The Origins of Aleister Crowley’s Book of Thoth" by Paul Hughes-Barlow published on Aeon Books. TAP in as we speak about some background story of Aleister Crowley and also topics like: -Pauls process with writing the book (that was in fact channelled) -Crowley's obsession with Tarot -Eliphas Levi -The number of Mercury and Christ -The promise to have contact with the Hidden Masters -Freemasonry -Immanuel Kant, German philosopher, as influencing Crowley's ethic -Crowley stayed Christian -To hide your light under a bushel -What all the secrecy is about!! -The four levels on the Qabalistic Tree of Life -Mercury above and below the Abyss -The book of Lies -Both Carl Jung (1875–1961) and Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) were exact contemporaries, born in the same year. Each developed a radical system engaging with the unconscious, symbols, myth, and spirituality outside orthodox religion -I love how Paul uses Tarot therapeutically — it reflects the very essence of TAP and of a place to find Whole- What might look like two different paths, therapy and Tarot/Astrology, actually converge in one shared practice - or at least parallel practices within one healing field -Initiations and the nigredo (darkness) necessary before renewal -Fatalistic divination - or something more useful -Thoth is the God of magic -Aleister Crowley stands as one of the most disputed figures in modern Western esotericism, and our conversation concludes on that note—yet Paul Hughes-Barlow offers a perspective that reframes the common judgments Hope you enjoyed something about this episode.

#111 – Gabrielle Perez – Luminous Astrology – Soothe Your Nervous System and Energize the Reality You Want 09/08/2025

#111 – Gabrielle Perez – Luminous Astrology – Soothe Your Nervous System and Energize the Reality You Want Welcome to TAP in with Gabrielle Perez, who has a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and almost twenty years of astrological practice. Like myself Gabrielle is a professional in both fields of therapy and astrology - which in short is connected by the ability to help people (and ourselves) connect with the unconscious. (Pluto in Scorpio) In this conversation we get to know each other’s work a little bit while also reflecting about the meaning of our current times. We begin by exploring Gabrielle’s journey from mental health counseling to astrological practice - other alternative healing modalities. Back then she had a Uranus on the MC experience and is currently getting to know Pluto transits. We talk about trust as we share a Pisces/Scorpio signature, meaning we have experienced trust-shattering events, and many times realized less control and agency than other might be inclined to. Then soon we go into why bridging therapy/psychology and astrological insight can serve deep healing plus how to navigate the Virgo Pisces eclipse with all the background of shifting outer planets. That is my very short resume, but I encourage you to listen in, I feel very honored and glad that Gabrielle Perez takes the time in this one to not only share her work but also interpret for us how best to relate to the energy. AFTER the interview I received this wonderful text from her linking to the point in our conversation, where she forgot something and I actually directed us to something else so it didn't come back TILL NOW-- so here is what she wrote me: "I remembered what I was going to say about the Pluto in Scorpio generation which is that we are the first generation with substantial access to therapy. The USA is founded by traumatized people that continued to inflict that trauma on the Native Americans, African slaves and each other. I believe the Pluto in Scorpio generation is healing and transmuting that. And because we are doing that work, this Pluto out of bounds cycle has the opportunity to actually bring transformation that raises the vibration of the planet." ENJOY and keep reflecting with us and reading the energy to enter deeper into your own alchemical process. You have a place to call Whole. -Mannah LINKS to Gabrielle: Mannah: Link to youtube version (where I wear glasses due to an allergic eye reaction if you want to know!): /episode/index/show/512e5124-0d53-49a8-9bca-c32a2c148b24/id/38133030

#106 - Yael Eini - Karmic Constellation - Unblock Your Life on the Soul Level "MAKE THE PAST YOUR STEPPING STONE" says my guest today, and I think Saturn in Aries are behind that as well. Join us as we are speaking about karmic constellations with Yael Eini, developer of the Karmic Constellation method The Karmic Constellation method by Yael Eini has spiritual roots, as it draws from Yaels experience in energy healing and family constellation work,. What we talk about today is a method to trace karma, those old patterns we carry without even knowing why. In her book, Karma Healing, Yael shows how past-life traumas and unresolved soul contracts show up in our relationships, our fears, our repeating life themes. She writes on page 30: "The purpose of karma is soul growth. When we meet someone, the interaction we create with them is karma. It motivates us, it teaches us, it allows us to accumulate experiences, and it helps us to develop both as human beings and as souls. And yes, encountering the other can be painful, even very painful. At the same time, this pain is not a punishment; rather, it is an invitation to learn. The person may not learn, but the soul learns." This is SO aligned with Evolutionary Astrology where we see the birth chart as a map of the soul’s intentions, some call it a karmic blueprint. We can see the memories of previous incarnations through archetypal patterns. We interpret the chart related to evolutionary journey of the soul, so that placements describe past-life dynamic, especially through the lunar nodes and planetary aspects to them, but really all of the chart are soul memories. That's why I am fascinated with Yaels work, because she has a method of working therapeutically with a past life story. In this interview we explore how the soul has a very different opinion that the human, and how to use representatives to unite karma and rewrite soul contracts. Tap right into the links below.

#105 - Mark Jones pt 2 - The Future of Therapy with Pluto in AQ - Astrology as a Psycho-Spiritual Path - Reclaiming Depth, Sacredness, and Complexity YAY Mark Jones is back, and we begin by TAPping into the role a therapist in the future - and then we go from there. Of course for us therapy involves a birth chart, this special map for deeper insight on what the purpose of it all is. Astrology and psychology need each other. But how does the field of therapy look in the future? Here are some key points we dive into: The Future of Therapy: The conversation opens with a vision for how therapy might evolve. We discuss that therapy is no longer just about traditional models – it's becoming more individualized, more integrative - Saturn Archetype Changing: Mark notes that the archetype of Saturn is shifting. Where it once represented rigid norms and societal expectations, there is now more room for personal authority, unique self-expression, and freedom. However - we shouldn't reinvent the wheel every time either.... Neurodivergence and Pluto in Aquarius: I bring up neurodivergence, linking it to Pluto in Aquarius. Mark reflects on how we are moving away from the systemic, hierarchical nature of Pluto in Capricorn into a more decentralized, knowledge-sharing era. This allows for new voices, new minds, and new ways of being to emerge. However... Pluto in Aquarius & Uranus in Gemini: Mark adds that Pluto in Aquarius alongside Uranus in Gemini will foster rapid technological innovation, particularly around how we process and understand information. This could revolutionize fields like therapy, communication, and even consciousness. AI and Therapy: The question arises: Can AI be a therapist? Well... not a very sacred therapist? Materialism vs. Sacred Imagination: A central critique is how materialism has narrowed the meaning of astrological archetypes. Mark calls for a return to sacred imagination, where astrology isn't just about prediction or personality, but about engaging with something transcendent and mystical.

#104 - Joanne Twombly - Trauma and Dissociation Informed Internal Family Systems: How to Successfully Treat C-PTSD, and Dissociative Disorders 04/21/2025

#104 - Joanne Twombly - Trauma and Dissociation Informed Internal Family Systems: How to Successfully Treat C-PTSD, and Dissociative Disorders Joanne Twombly, MSW, LICSW, integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) with essential knowledge from the complex trauma and dissociation field for safer, more effective treatment of C-PTSD and dissociative disorders. She's got more than 30 years of experience in the field of treating dissociation! In her book "Trauma and Dissociation Informed Internal Family Systems: How to Successfully Treat C-PTSD and Dissociative Disorders", she writes that: “Dissociation is a protective defense that, in a way, hides oneself from oneself.” In this interview, Joanne Twombly shares her argument for trauma-informed adaptations to standard IFS. Here is some of what we cover: – “Dissociation is a protective defense that, in a way, hides oneself from oneself.” In this interview, Joanne shares her argument for trauma-informed adaptations to standard IFS. Here is some of what we cover: – Dissociation, and how to dissociate "better"—which gives choice and control - Use the trance you are in! – Dissociative parts can show up as numb, deaf, robot, or sex-only parts. As Joanne explains, all of them have a survival purpose, and healing requires compassionate engagement—not suppression – Hypnotic language as a tool to support engagement, symptom management, and communication with parts – Orienting parts to the present: essential when parts are stuck in past timelines or multiple subjective realities - Being even with affects – How to combine IFS with phase-oriented trauma treatment to create a safe and effective model – Using containers to hold trauma until it’s safe to process – Creating safe spaces for parts not actively participating in a session – Safe Space Imagery: stick around as Joanne offers a brief, guided experience - It helps parts manage overwhelming material.

#103 - Tom Soloway Pinkson, Ph.D - The Psychedelic Shaman: The Wisdom Warrior's Path to Transformation Meet a wise elder talking to us about how to walk the path of integrity, heart, and spirit—tap into this conversation with Tom Soloway Pinkson, Ph.D. Tom shares powerful insights from his newly published book: The Psychedelic Shaman: The Wisdom Warrior’s Path to Transformation (Inner Traditions), and reflects on a life devoted to sacred service, healing, and love. Here are some of the themes we explore: — “The most effective prisons are the ones we don’t know we’re in” — How mainstream culture conditions us to believe in separation, which feeds fear — The shift from being a fault-finder to becoming a love-finder — Awakening to the truth of our interconnection — Aloha, Alaha, and Alegría as spiritual forces — The Wisdom Warrior: seeing truth and having the courage to act — The constricted ego identity and how sacred plant medicines can help us transcend it — “Being breathed” and receiving the question from life-force energy: How do you want to use me? — Opening to inner wisdom—psychedelics are not the only path — Vision quests and how Tom has just completed his 51st (he just turned 80) — The Psychedelic Medicine Wheel — Vision fast quests as rites of passage — Dropping into gratitude rather than asking for more — The Healing Attitudinal Principles And much more - Tom even sings to us - and I mention a bite of astrology, but to recap, what I see most significant is his Neptun and Chiron conjunction on his ascendant. It is in the sign of libra and connects many of his themes of listening, relationships, channeling, receiving, love - It is clear to me, Mannah, that he is so connected to spirit that the highest version of these archetype comes forth in his work and books. I am so happy you are here.

#101 – Lana Kunštek – Dreams as Windows Into the Unconscious - Embodied Spirituality Today you’ll meet Lana Kunštek, a body-oriented and mindfulness-centered psychotherapist from Croatia, now living in Copenhagen. Lana works with embodied spirituality and facilitates dream groups. If you are like Lana says "a dreamer" yourself, you’ll probably enjoy this conversation. I (Mannah) love working with dreams, and my only regret is that I’m not able to translate the whole thing—some parts just remain unconscious to my waking self. Therefore, what we’re talking about is a window, probably not full access, and how to make that window even more clear. Here's what we explore: – Living in the imaginative realm – Body-oriented psychotherapy – The never-ending path of therapeutic training – Letting each client teach you how to meet them – Every person is a mystery – Recurring dreams and what they ask of us – The impulse of the dream character – The overall emotional tone of the dream – Archetypes and symbols that speak through dreams – The dream matrix – Being shifted by someone else’s dream – Feeling guided by dreams – How dreams are often direct and unmistakably clear – Dreams that bring up shadow material – How to get closer to what a dream symbol means to you – The question: are we dreaming, or are we being dreamt? – Not every dream carries the same weight – All dream characters as aspects of yourself – Integrating dreams into daily life – How to interpret a dream that could easily be misunderstood – Endless therapy trainings — and the lie that says you’re not enough without them – Lana's storytelling (soon to be published?) also emerging from the dream realm – The importance of not forcing oneself – Give the work your commitment and it will grow – Commit to your soul every single day – The importance of how the energy moves – Medicine or poison? Depends on the day I hope you enjoy enjoy this conversation LINKS Find Lana here: Mannah here: /episode/index/show/512e5124-0d53-49a8-9bca-c32a2c148b24/id/36058425
