The Magic of Mercury, our psychopomp guide to our subconscious
Manage episode 322420726 series 3289101
In this video, I talk about my shamanic and magical experiences of the god Mercury, who it seems, is always there, waiting to guide my footsteps.
His presence in my life has been so all-encompassing for so long now, that I feel a bit like an ant who's been given the job of describing Mount Everest, and I have a horror of damning him with faint praise.
But one thing I know for sure is that Mercury always inspires my pen and my voice. He is the smith to my wordsmith. He is the key to my keyboard. He is the wright to my playwright. If he wasn't, I would be playing wrong...and clueless.
In all ancient wisdom stories, no matter how far back in time you go, Mercury comes to help the mythological hero in the form of the boatman or ferryman or navigator. He is the psychopomp, the mediator between the humans in this world and the gods in the Other Worlds. He ferries the mythological hero down into the Underworld - the subconscious mind - where he meets the gods who present with his own Shadow during the Dark Night of the Soul.
