From my lifelong obsession with horror, haunted houses, and all things spooky; to the history of demons, witch hunts, and the suppression of feminine sexuality, we&#39;re exploring how darkness became synonymous with evil—and who REALLY benefits from keeping us afraid.</p><p><br></p><p>We get into Carl Jung&#39;s concept of the shadow, the parts of ourselves we&#39;ve been conditioned to repress, and why avoiding the things that make us uncomfortable often gives them more power over us. I also break down the symbolism behind two of my favorite tarot cards, The Devil and The Lovers, and what they can teach us about attachment, control, freedom, and self-trust.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>In this episode, we explore:</strong></p><ul><li>Growing up on horror movies and never having a nightmare</li><li>Why we&#39;re conditioned to fear darkness and the unfamiliar</li><li>The history of demons, the occult, and the persecution of witches</li><li>How shame and social conditioning disconnect us from pleasure</li><li>Why menopause used to be a woman’s power era..
