show for the first time, about me. I'm an author also, and
2:32
I'm a photographer and an artist myself and I have a book titled Postcards to
2:38
the Universe, Harness the Universe's Power and manifest your dreams. And my book
2:42
is all about manifesting and using the law of attraction, and I had people
2:46
create what I call a manifesting postcard, which is kind of like a little
2:50
mini vision board, and people would put on something that they wanted to bring
2:54
into their life, and when that did show up in their lives, I
2:59
would photograph the postcard and I would share their stories. So that is there's
3:05
thirty of those in the book. Yeah, there's thirty of those in the
3:07
book. And I broke it down in areas of our lives where we want
3:12
more abundance, which is love and relationships, our monies, our career,
3:17
our health. Those are all the areas that we always want to increase our
3:23
abundance. So I have a lot of exercises and writing tips to get us
3:28
to get clear on what it is we want to manifest. So if you're
3:30
interested, you can find my book on Barnes and Noble or Amazon, and
3:38
I hope that you do find that interesting because I also started doing live readings
3:43
from my book on my social media TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
3:47
I post the videos, so I've been reading everybody's story and showing their
3:53
postcard they're five minutes long, and I've been having a lot of fun them.
4:00
And I've also been rephotographing the postcards because the book came out in twenty
4:04
nineteen and here we are already in twenty twenty four. God time just flies,
4:09
wow, And it's very different the way I've been I'm photographing the postcards
4:14
and now than when I originally started. So it's been a lot of fun
4:17
doing this kind of work. And I hope that you, guys. It's
4:23

7:30
n G d d O M dot com. Welcome LaTaO, thanks for being
7:33
here with me today. Hi, Hello, Melissa, thank you so much
7:38
for having me. You're calling from Hong Kong, right, that's what you
7:41
told me right before we went on. Yeah, that's exciting than the first.
7:46
It's a first for my show having somebody all the way over from Hong
7:50
Kong calling in. So littoo, it's really specific. I mean, we're
7:56
we're going to be talking a lot about this specific oracle deck you have.
8:00
You have others also, But how did you get into this kind of work
8:05
where you started doing astrology and trot and numerology? Were you always interested in
8:09
that as a kid, Like, how did you find yourself doing that?
8:15
Well? To be honest, when I was a kid, right, I
8:18
actually had I knew nothing about our you know, the spiritual world, you
8:24
know the mystical side of our lives. Right. I mean I grew up
8:28
in a very traditional Chinese family and none of my parents were actually interested in
8:35
you know, spirituality and astrology. And I would say my first encountering with
8:43
astrology was quite late I think that was back in the early let's say,
8:50
maybe two thousand and eight, two thousand and seven, so that was around
8:54
my early twenties. I was living in the Sydney, Australia around that time,
9:00
and I, yeah, very fortunately I encountered encountered my first astrology teacher
9:07
in Sydney, and I was a client at that time. Yeah, I
9:11
was not really systematically studying it. I just you know, walked into his
9:18
shop in Sydney and you know, uh, he did a very quick reading
9:22
for me, and I would say that was a very eye opening experience for
9:28
me. Yeah, at that time, and that's how I started to become
9:33
interested in discovering more about astrology and mythology. Yet hmmm, yeah, I
9:43
mean I've always been into it since I was a kid, and this is
9:46
like totally my wheelhouse. You know. I love astrology and numerology. I'm
9:52
learning more about numerology now as I'm older than I ever did before. But
9:56
it's really really interesting. And and you brought in with these cards, especially
10:03
this Greek and Roman mythology, and I remember studying that back in school a
10:09
long time ago and hearing these stories are very fascinating. So what is it
10:13
about the Greek and Roman mythology that you wanted to incorporate into your cards and
10:22
how does that correlate with the astrology, the tureau and everything. Yeah,
10:26
I'll let you talk ahead. Yeah, that's a great question actually, because
10:31
I think this has a lot to do with my first astrology teacher. You
10:35
know, he was really different. He you know, I remember the first
10:41
time, you know, I actually we had our first lesson. He told
10:48
me that I should be expecting something very very different from most astrology compared to
10:56
most astrology teachers, right, And I said why? And he said,
11:00
because we're going to spend a lot of time talking about the Greek mythology.
11:07
And so usually, you know, when you study astrology, for example,
11:11
a very typical thing that a teacher will do is they will stop from explaining,
11:16
let's say, the twelve zodic signs, and they will start talking about,
11:20
you know, the basic meanings of each planet and house systems, you
11:24
know, to just borrow my teacher's words. And he found it very bookish,
11:31
you know what I mean. Yeah, So what he did with me
11:35
was he he taught me mythology. You know, he was telling me all
11:39
the fascinating stories from Iliad and Odyssey and you know, other famous Greek literature.
11:46
And then he was throw a question at me, saying, okay,
11:50
now you have heard the story, let's say, between Apollo and Hermes.
11:56
So what do you think the planet Mercury means? Because you know the planet
12:00
mercury Mercury is the Roman Roman name and the counterpart is the Greek counterpart is
12:05
Hermes. So from the story, what do you think, Uh, you
12:11
know the planet mercury uh symbolizes on our chart. And so my early days,
12:18
you know, learning and study about a planet and astrology was really uh,
12:24
it was deeply rooted from my understanding about the mythological stories. And so
12:31
for me, there were never really different things anyway, you know when I
12:37
guess when I was creating Oracle of the mythic Heroes, it was just really
12:43
right up my alley. Yeah, from I really wanted to publish a book
12:48
to talk about Greek mythology and you know, the fascinating stories, but I
12:54
want to uh talk about them from an from an astrological perspective and how we
13:01
can fight wisdom and sometimes it's about a very simple self analysis through those stories
13:07
and then we can also connect that with our sunset, our munsa, our
13:13
send and side, et cetera. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
13:16
And I can see how you would marrying the Terreau and the stories from the
13:26
life of the Roman gods and the Greek gods and what we're supposed to learn
13:31
from them. Yeah, I can see how putting those together would really be
13:35
really interesting. And just f y, I just so you know, Mercury
13:39
is my ruler. I'm a Gemini, so I'm familiar with mercury, right,
13:46
and it's no surprise that I fell into radio as a Gemini and Mercury
13:50
being my ruler. Literally I fell into it. It wasn't something that it
13:54
was I ever thought that I would do. So, yeah, it makes
13:58
sense. Right, Well, go ahead, I'm notcally quite curious about One
14:03
thing is so you know, we are actually finishing mercer retrograde. Okay,
14:11
this is around you know today tomorrow is right. Yeah, So we've been,
14:13
you know, going through mercer retort for the past three weeks. Do
14:16
you feel that you tend to be affected by Mercury retrograde being a Gemini,
14:22
This one, in particular, I was more than I've noticed in the past.
14:26
There was a lot of technological glitches that kept coming up for me in
14:33
this past one. But usually I enjoy a mercury retrograde. I really do,
14:37
because I find myself going back and reworking things or that's when I get
14:45
into my organizing and getting rid of things and like reevaluating things and where my
14:50
life is at. So I find those times very productive in a sense,
14:56
you know, for me personally. But this, yeah, I don't know
15:01
what was going on. I just kept having one glitch after another of things
15:05
just not working like and it was all technological based, and so that was
15:09
my experience. Yeah, Now what is your sign? What are you?
15:13
What's your sign? So my son's sign is I'm a cancer, yeah,
15:16
my sne but my ascendence sign is virgal so I'm also used by Gemini.
15:22
Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm also mercury. Yeah yeah. Virgos and Geminis
15:26
are mercury rulers. Yeah, I'm a I'm a son in a double Leo,
15:31
which is interesting. And I've learned a lot more about Leo in the
15:35
last probably five years than I ever studied before, which is kind of makes
15:39
sense. And I also have a lot of earthy signs in my charts and
15:46
that makes a lot of sense. Why I'm like, I love home being
15:48
home bound a lot, and yeah, I have all this stuff. So
15:50
it's interesting about for people who are because I'm sure you know this. Most
15:56
people just know their sun sign and that's all they read. And then they'll
16:00
be like, well, you don't seem like a Virgo or a Gemini or
16:03
a typical answer whatever, and you're like, yeah, because you're not looking
16:07
at my whole chart, right, that's yeah. So that you know,
16:12
that's one of the questions that I tend to be asked during my counseling session.
16:18
You know, some clients would say, you know, I am let's
16:19
say, I'm an aries. I don't feel like an aries at all,
16:22
right, so how to explain that? Right? So that's actually a very
16:26
good question just in case our audience is interested in in in hearing this.
16:33
The sun sign is not really something that we were born with. Actually,
16:37
So in astrology we see that our sun sign, it's a place where where
16:41
we're heading towards because that's where the light is the sun is shining, you
16:45
know, the place where the sun is really shining is where we're walking towards,
16:51
and that's the so called the identity where the enlightenment that we're trying to
16:56
reach. So to put in a very simple term, if you're an area
17:00
sunshine areas, you're trying to become an areas in your life. Let's put
17:04
it this way. So usually when people are very young, let's say when
17:07
they were a child, a lot of them cannot really connect with your sun's
17:11
sign because you know, it's very obvious we haven't got there yet. And
17:18
and the moon sign is usually about our natural emotional reaction towards things. So
17:23
we tend to be uh, we tend to feel like our moon sight more,
17:29
I would say, because this is, you know, our emotion is
17:32
not something we learn, it's something that naturally we we you know, it
17:36
comes out right. And so uh, you know, moonsin is also related
17:40
to our mother, our childhood, and so that's something more I was intrinsic
17:45
yet enough. And the sundence sign is talking about the path you need to
17:49
walk in order to get to your sun sign m and that makes sense yea
17:56
ahead, Yeah, So it's interesting, right, So if you're sun sign
18:00
and your ascendant or your writing sign are the same, it's actually a very
18:04
good thing. It means that the path you're walking is exactly where you're heading
18:10
to work, and so and plus you know, for some people, you
18:15
know their sun sign, moon sign and the sentence that they're all the same,
18:17
right, which is not very common. For those people, it's very
18:22
easy for them to really channel their energy into one direction and so they So
18:27
those people, when you meet them, you're going to find that they're very
18:30
simple, simple in a way that they're not complicated, because they want what
18:37
they need and they need what they want and their energy is very focused in
18:40
one direction. Yet, oh that's very interesting. Yeah, and it makes
18:45
sense now when when I learn more about Leo's and I when I get my
18:49
feelings hurt, I'm very prideful, and that's not usually a Gemini thing.
18:55
Geminis are very airy and oh just roll off your back. But when my
19:00
pride gets hurt, oh you know what I mean, I am like a
19:03
god cling gotta go lick my wounds. You know. So you did you
19:11
say you your moon size or your son? Yes? Both? Both?
19:15
Okay, okay, yes, yeah, so yeah, and it's so for
19:22
anybody listening, I highly recommend and how tell everybody an easy way that they
19:26
can just find out you know they're all three because most people, just like
19:30
I said, know their son sign you know, look up. Yeah,
19:34
so how do you how do you know all three? First of all,
19:38
you know, you definitely would need to know your birth time. And this
19:42
is you know, really a fifty fifty right. I mean I've been counter
19:45
the clients who know their birth time to the to the to the minute,
19:49
you know, like they was like, oh, yeah, you know I
19:52
was born at you know five, you know, thirty seven pm, you
19:55
know, something like that. But for some people they just saw that,
19:56
they just say, you know, sorry, my mother doesn't really member and
20:00
it's not really on my birth certificate. Right. So, and I think,
20:03
you know, depending on you know, the country, the city you
20:06
were born in, some hospitals just they just don't do that. And so
20:11
in that way, it might be a little bit difficult, right because sometimes
20:15
in a mother's memory it might not be very accurate that they were in pain.
20:21
Right. So, but if you can find out your birth time,
20:23
you can just easily log onto any astrology website and you can put your information
20:30
there and the website should be able to give you at least your sonsie,
20:36
your munsa and your ascendant sign and if you still think that's not very undependable,
20:41
you can also consult as a professional astrologist. You can go to them,
20:47
book a session with them and they will cast a chart for you.
20:51
Yeah. Now, do you work one on one with clients if they want
20:56
it? Do you do charts or do you account you you do a chart
21:00
and you also do their numerology too, which I'm going to let you share
21:04
a little bit about how numerology works, because, like I said, this
21:08
is newer for me, and a lot of people don't understand about your numerology,
21:14
your life path and all that that stuff. So share a little bit
21:18
with us, right. So for me, actually it's a little bit different.
21:22
Yeah, because most let's say, if you find it just an astrologer
21:29
or whatever, fortune teller, psychic online, right, So usually on their
21:32
website they will say, okay, my service include Okay, if you want
21:36
to do astrology reading, this is how magic costs, right, doing numerology
21:40
reading, this is howmogic costs. I don't really do that because I identify
21:45
myself as a counselor and okay, I'm certified as a counselor in Hong Kong,
21:51
So what I do is called spiritual counseling, So I don't really separate.
21:56
Okay, so we're now we're going to do astrology, where now we're
21:59
doing you more. What I do is through the purpose of the session is
22:03
to is about counseling and therapy and finding solutions and balance for the either the
22:12
patient or the client. And so during the session I will make the judgment
22:18
whether I should use astrology now to tackle the Usually we're talking about sometimes the
22:23
whole session we're not looking at at astrology at all. Maybe I'm purely using
22:30
terrot or oracle cars. Sometimes I might be spending eighty percent of my session
22:37
doing numerology and twenty percent time we're doing other things. And so it's really
22:41
case by case. And so usually when a client makes an inquiry and they
22:45
say, oh, can I just do an astrology reading, I'll explain how
22:48
I work with them, unless they say, you know, they have some
22:52
very strong preference or they will say, oh, I don't like terrot right,
22:57
because some people they will be very straightforward. They was say, you
23:00
know, because of my religious beliefs or whatever, I just don't want you
23:03
to use any type of cars. Can you just only use astrology, and
23:07
in that case, of course, I would, you know, try to
23:11
avoid that, right if the client is being uncomfortable. I love that you
23:18
do that. I love that you do that because I love I think everybody
23:23
should get some kind of counseling, even if there's nothing wrong in your life.
23:29
I just think it's such a great tool to go to somebody and to
23:33
help to have some kind of assistance, guidance, help, whatever. And
23:37
I love that you do it with astrology, trurou numerology instead of the traditional,
23:44
especially over here in America, western psychology, right, you know,
23:48
because there's many of us that don't relate to that Western psychology where you sit
23:56
and you just do the talk therapy and let's go back into our childhood and
24:00
what happened to you. And that doesn't work necessarily for everyone, right,
24:04
So I love that this is an option. Like as my personality and especially
24:11
where I am now, this relates to me personally so much better, tapping
24:15
into my what you know, where my signs and my you know, my
24:19
numerology and the tureau and it's just wonderful that you have come up with a
24:26
way to put it all together. So what is the healing Kingdom. Is
24:30
that what what does that title mean? Because you say you're a spiritual counselor
24:33
of the Healing Kingdom. What does that mean? Right? Yeah, so
24:37
so the king Kingdom is right, my friend? Rightious? Okay, practice
24:41
okay right? So so the heating part, obviously is the part that I
24:48
do therapy about, you know, the therapeutic value of our session. And
24:53
I think from the very beginning of my practice, I always subconsciously had this,
25:00
uh I was a happy desire where I felt very connected to the art
25:07
of healing. My first astrology teacher was not really a healer because he was
25:15
more like a fortune teller, you know what I mean. He was a
25:18
psychic. So the early days training that I received in the esoteric field was
25:23
really about, you know, the psychic greetings and things like that. But
25:27
the more I practice, the more I realized that what really gave clients and
25:33
also gave me, uh, the sense of fulfillment and satisfaction, was about
25:37
therapy. And so slowly, you know, the more I developed my career,
25:44
the more I realized that I became less interested in predicting future for my
25:49
clients because I don't think my clients really need that and based on my experience,
25:55
more often than not, they should be aware of their own ability to
26:00
create their future instead of believing that everything is already predestined in the sky.
26:07
I usually say this to my clients. Astrology does not predict your future.
26:11
Astrology is a little bit like a mirror synchronizing your own behavior and your own
26:18
patterns. But you always have a say in in changing, transforming and improving
26:26
yourself. And I think that's really the key point for someone when they go
26:33
into a counseling session with therapy, because if they believe that everything is already
26:37
written in the stars, so just deal with it, right, so I
26:40
can't change it, that's just what my life is, then we're pretty much
26:45
in giving up on our self manifestation, which you know, this word you
26:51
know is always talked about by by therapists, by counselors, and by the
26:56
spiritual people. And so the Healing Kingdom, the brand is really about bring
27:00
the therapeutic and also the healing elements into our session and so that when the
27:07
client walks out of a session, they are not just feeling that now someone
27:11
pulped me about my future, but more importantly, they know that there's something
27:15
that they can do to create that better future for themselves. Hmmm, I
27:19
love that. Well, that's all I'm about. The manifesting is creating the
27:22
future that we want for ourselves, co creating with the ures. Yeah,
27:26
so I'm gonna let's take our break now, and then when we come back,
27:30
I want to talk about how about the oracle of the mythic heroes?

30:30

30:44
Welcome back, and if you're just joining me, I have calling in
30:48
from all the way from Hong Kong. LaTaO Wang spiritual counselor and professional astrologists
30:53
and the creator of the new of a deck, the Truro Deck titled the
30:59
Or of the Mythic Heroes. And let's tell what will people who get your
31:08
deck find in the historical stories of the Greek and the Roman mythology, or
31:15
in the heroes of their sign like when they're doing a card pull or reading
31:22
for themselves, or you know, for others. You know, a lot
31:25
of people like to have decks and they do readings for their family and friends.
31:30
So India deck, right, there are forty mythic heroes that are right.
31:37
So on each Greek hero is linked to a keyword. So for example,
31:45
let's use an example. So you are a Gemini, right, So
31:48
in the chapter for Gemini, there are three heroes, and there are related
31:53
to the three different decades in the constellation Slam Gemini, and those three heroes
32:00
are Ariadne, Paris right, the judgment of Paris, and the third one
32:05
is Numa from Roman mythology. And the keyword are also different. So Ariadne
32:10
is related to the keyword curiosity, and Paris is linked to the keyword indecision,
32:16
and Numa is linked to the keyword humor. That sounds like me curio
32:28
right, exactly Rightmi. So so those keywords were selected by me because I
32:34
feel they can best, let's say, represent geminis qualities. Right. Of
32:39
course, we can't just use three words of describe a sign, but I
32:43
would say those are very prominent. And so when we pull a card,
32:47
what we are going to see on the card is a beautiful illustration of the
32:52
story about the hero. Right. So for example, in the card Paris
32:58
and you will see Paris standing in the middle of the picture, and he's
33:01
holding a golden apple, and in front of him there are three goddesses,
33:07
the goddess hera Athema as well as Aphrodite, and you can see on the
33:13
car the parish looked very, very confused and did he did not know whom
33:17
he should give the golden apple to. And the story was basically about him
33:22
needing to choose the most beautiful goddess in the world, and he was looking
33:29
at those three women and thinking, you know, what do I do about
33:31
this? And so when we're looking at the illustration, first of all,
33:37
we can, first of all, you know, just to feel from that
33:39
picture, right, because the picture also says indecision there, So what do
33:43
we feel about that picture if you don't know the story yet, And of
33:46
course when you really dive into the stories, you will understand the whole picture
33:51
of a judgment of Paris and why was he indecisive? And he's indecision led
33:57
to what right at a later stage. And so through these the storytelling and
34:02
also on the teaching section in the guide book, we'll be able to find
34:07
some either let's say, challenges that we're dealing with at that moment, or
34:15
we might be just gaining some kind of wisdom that we might need to hear
34:20
at that time. So this is actually a daily practice that would I would
34:24
highly recommend to people. Sometimes, you know, we don't really need to
34:29
use cars to answer a very complicated, you know, life changing question.
34:34
Sometimes it's just a daily question like Okay, I just need to know what
34:38
I need to know so that today I will be happy, I will have
34:43
a better unproductive day, or I will be the best version of myself.
34:46
And I think that's when when we use Oracle cars. And I also think
34:52
what sets my deck different from a lot of other Oracle card is that my
34:57
deck has a very strong storyteller an element in it, and so you can
35:04
really read the story and use your own imagination and intuition to connect yourself with
35:09
the hero in the story. Hmm. I love that. That's why I
35:14
love Oracle dex And the way that I always do it is I shuffle a
35:19
lot. I like the act of shuffling, and whatever jumps out, I
35:23
always allow it to jump out because there's always one that does or two and
35:29
then I feel like, Okay, that's what I need to hear today,
35:30
and it always somehow relates to something I'm thinking about or something that's happening in
35:38
my life. So there, I'm always getting messages. And the people that
35:44
listen to my show are the kind of people that believe that we get messages
35:51
from Spirit, the universe, God, Buddha, whatever you want, It
35:54
doesn't matter, whatever you want to call it, right that we're always receiving
36:00
messages from the universe. So yeah, I love the fact that you can
36:05
just grab a card and ask yourself what is it today that I need to
36:08
hear? And you actually have in in when when I have a guest,
36:14
I asked sometimes they'll send me some questions, and one of your questions is
36:19
what might the universe be telling us in the card for Medusa? And I
36:23
really want to know to answer to that question. Medusa is a very fascinating
36:30
character. So yeah, so what what what will the universe be telling us
36:35
in the card for Medusa? Yeah, so that's such an amazing question.
36:38
Actually question so much is so uh it's such a complex figure in greet Yeah,
36:49
because she herself, you know, we don't know if we would really
36:52
call her a hero, but definitely in the early stage of her story,
36:57
she was a victim, so, you know, just in case our audience
37:02
is not familiar with Medusa's story, right, So she originally was a priestess
37:08
serving in athena temple. Athena is the goddess of justice and wisdom. And
37:15
but to be a priestess, loyal priestess to Athena, the princess has to
37:21
remain her virginity. She cannot marry a guy, she cannot have any sexual
37:25
contact with a male. And that's just Athena's requirement, because Athena herself is
37:31
a virgin goddess. But Medusa was seduced by the god of ocean Poseidon in
37:40
some version of the story. And they say Poseidon actually raped her in the
37:45
in the source, So she was victimized, right, And but at the
37:49
end, Asenam punished her instead of prosidon, which is you know, in
37:54
our modern day, uh perspective, it's crazy, right, Well, I
38:00
have to tell you, I have to tell you. I have to just
38:05
say, truthfully, for a lot of women, not much has changed.
38:07
Sadly that a lot of women get blamed for being you know, you know,
38:12
raped and attacked and assaulted. So it's interesting that this is a mythological
38:16
story. Okay, go ahead, I'll let you continue. Yeah, yeah,
38:20
I totally hear you, right, you know, you know we still
38:22
see that kind of you know, thing's happening, you know, not just
38:24
in the face in Asia a lot, right sure. Yeah. So after
38:30
that Athena to some people say it's a punishment yet, but also some mythologists
38:37
and scholars say it's actually a protection from Athena. Athena transformed, and they
38:42
does it into an ugly monster. She lost her beauty and she had snake
38:47
hair and all of that, right, And some people say, oh,
38:50
it's a Sina trying to protect her from from male predators. But obviously,
38:54
you know, it's also a kind of punishment for her. And so that's
39:00
sort of like when she was deemed as a monster and she was afraid to
39:06
uh to look at anything because anything she sees will be turned into stone.
39:09
Now right now, obviously for the people around her, they were scared.
39:15
Nobody wants to look at her. But deep down, she's also very sad
39:19
because you can imagine, if you can't look at anything, then you can't
39:23
really love anyone, because anyone you love, you look at them, you
39:28
will turn them into stone, So how can you make a connection with them?
39:30
Right, So that part of the story is very tragic. But in
39:36
psychology and in specifically in the way we see Medusa's energy, in psychology,
39:44
it's about us feeling that things are being turned into stone and stuck. But
39:50
deep down the real reason is because we can't really reflect on that because in
39:55
the story at the end, when Medusa was conquered by the hero person is
40:00
Precious didn't really just to kill her. Persius used the mirror, and so
40:06
in some version of the story, Medusa saw her own reflection in the mirror,
40:12
and so she turned herself into some and that's how Yeah, so that's
40:16
how she, you know, was in a way released from this curse from
40:22
Asthena, right, and she could find her teeth. And so one of
40:25
the things about you know, pulling out Maddusa car you can see the key
40:30
word that I have linked to make Dousa within the guide book is reflection.
40:35
And so usually in our sessions when we feel a client is very very stuck
40:39
in their mind, and what we really want them to do is to go
40:43
feel their deep reflection over their emotion. Especially what I realized about people pulling
40:51
Medusa card is. They might feel either they're very stuck or they tend to
40:55
have this very negative thinking, but they use that as a proof to make
41:01
themselves feeling even more miserable. And a typical example, for example, in
41:07
the book the case Studies that I did, was one of my clients she
41:12
felt very stuck in love. I mean, she couldn't find love for a
41:16
long time, and she started to put into this id in her own mind.
41:21
She thinks of because I'm not attractive woman, I'm not attractive. Men
41:25
don't like me anyway, So what's the point of trying? Right? Even
41:30
if I try and they're not gonna you know, uh, let's say respond
41:36
in a positive way, They're not going to return my affection. So I
41:40
just I just I hate it. I don't like I don't love it,
41:44
I don't believe in love, I don't want love, and it only hurts
41:46
me. You know, that kind of very negative cycle, right, because
41:51
once someone gets into that cycle, then they stop loving. But the more
41:54
they do that, the further away they are from love. Right, So
42:00
that's very much sort of like that kind of we are being turned into stone.
42:04
And also we're very afraid to really gaze at law or gaze at something,
42:08
because we wonder if I really gaze at that, then I will be
42:10
turning into stone as well. And so for this kind of energy, I
42:15
think for anyone who postally do some I mean sometimes you know, we all
42:19
go through that kind of you know, stage right, because life goes ups
42:22
and downs. But I think the most important thing is we need to find
42:25
that shiny mirror that we have to look look at ourselves and be like,
42:30
Okay, why am I feeling this way? Is this rational? Or am
42:34
I just playing this negative mental game with myself? And sometimes I would even
42:39
recommend to my client that maybe really every day in the morning, look into
42:45
the mirror, just look at yourself and say something nice and saying something beautiful
42:49
about who you are. Because the more you can reflect physically, both physically
42:54
and let's say spiritually, the more you are, let's say, the closer
43:00
you are towards breaking this this blockckage for you. And the interesting thing is
43:07
we rarely see ourselves right in our daily life. Yeah right? Right?
43:13
When do we see ourselves only in the morning when you wash your face or
43:15
whatever? Right? And it's very interesting. There was one time a client
43:20
told me that she would even avoid looking at herself in the mirror in the
43:22
morning. Yeah, she You know, sometimes when we don't want to look
43:25
in the mirror, what that say about us? It says to us,
43:29
but we don't like ourselves absolutely. So sometimes reflection talks a lot about what
43:37
is actually I don't like to say what's wrong, but it's what is lacking
43:42
there or what we're willing to work on. Yeah. Well, listening to
43:45
you talk, listening to you talk and you said reflection, it made me
43:50
feel like Medusa represents what are you seeing? What isn't being mirrored back to
43:55
you? Right? What is being mirrored back to you? So if you're
43:59
putting out, like you said, negativity, then what's going to happen is,
44:01
Yes, if you if you're always negative, you're going to have a
44:05
lot of negative experiences. And if you're negative about like your one client love,
44:10
then of course she's going to be right, right, everybody's going to
44:14
show up to her, is going to prove her right. So what is
44:16
being mirrored back to you? So that makes perfect sense, you know,
44:22
when the universe is showing you right? Yeah, and I it's funny that
44:25
you said that about mirror work, because I've talked about that in the in
44:30
Postcards book, but also I'm working on another book, and it's all about
44:35
mirror work and and and looking at ourselves and doing that work and saying kind
44:42
things to ourselves instead of criticizing, because we have a tendency to look in
44:45
the mirror and point out everything that's wrong. Right, we want to shift
44:50
that. Yeah, we want to shift that. I love that you also
44:53
talk about the card Orpheus and that has a significant message. So can you
45:00
share a little bit about Orpheus? Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah, So I
45:02
would say this is my favorite Greek hero, right, Okay, not well,
45:09
I would say top maybe top two, top three, yeah, if
45:12
not the pact. Yeah, so work is The keyword that I associated him
45:16
with is a healing and Worfis is actually a master healer from Greek mythology.
45:22
He's a musician, but he doesn't play music as an entertainer. He plays
45:27
music to heal people's pain because his music is very, very therapeutic. The
45:31
story about him was how he descended into the underworld to save his wife Eurotus
45:38
due to a poisonous snake bite. But at the end of the day,
45:42
he couldn't trust Hades. Hades basically promised him to give him his wife back,
45:49
but only under the condition that he wouldn't look back at her, you
45:52
know, until he reaches the sunlight. But at the last minute, right
45:57
last second, he lost trust. He looked back. He needed that confirmation
46:01
that his wife was actually following him, and because of that mistake, his
46:07
wife's so dispersed into smoke, and he was banned from going to the underworld
46:12
ever again. And I think the reason why I like this character a lot
46:16
is because I personally and I also feel that a lot of my clients can
46:21
associate with Worthy's story. On the surface, it was about him not trusting
46:25
Hades, the god of the underworld, right, But deep down, I
46:29
really feel that Hades is a symbol of our psychology because Hades is a god
46:34
of the underworld, and the underworld is and dark, and we're so great
46:37
to get to, right, but it's always there, the transformation of power
46:42
that we all have. So Orf is not trusting Hades to save his love
46:46
was about us not really trusting our own deep psychology. We don't really trust
46:52
our intuitive self, and so we keep looking back, we keep needing that
46:57
validation or confirmation that we are doing the right thing, that it's gonna go
47:01
my way. But the more we do that, the less chance we have
47:06
to manifestation. Let's say, so I really feel this orchist card is about
47:12
releasing our fear, and it's not about the fear towards other people, but
47:17
it's more about the fear towards we won't be able to have what we want.
47:22
So it's you know, I love his story so much because I find
47:25
it so deep, there's so many layers there, right, and also works
47:31
in a different way. He was also, like what I said, he
47:34
was a healer, but you know, after you know, the failure of
47:37
saving his wife, he refused to marry any any anyone else until the day
47:42
he died because he was just he was in so much pain. He regretted
47:46
his decision, you know, looking back, right, So somehow, yeah,
47:51
exactly. So we can also see this as sometimes a master healer or
47:54
truth therapist have to go through their own sense of loss. They have to
48:00
go through their own pain in order to become a true healer so that they
48:04
can find their innate emphasis towards their patients or their clients. And that's who
48:12
wors is So what I will also say to a lot of you know,
48:16
people who are listening to our podcast, I feel that if you are going
48:21
through some difficulties or challenges or lost let's say a family member and loved one,
48:28
also see this as your own empowerment because through that painball experience that you
48:34
yourself will find that inner healer in you not only to heal yourself, but
48:38
you might even be able to provide a very important play, a very important
48:45
therapeutic role to the to the people around you who you love. Oh oh
48:50
wow, I love that. Yeah, and it's interesting too. Maybe the
48:53
card may just be telling you be careful, don't keep looking back, like
48:58
maybe you just need to start looking for right. So when you were when
49:01
you were deciding to create this deck, this oracle tech and you're going through
49:07
the stories, is that what you did? Did you go back because I
49:13
remember some of the stories listening to talk, but it's been many years since
49:16
I was in school learning about the Greek mythology, So you forget some of
49:23
the stories after time? Did you, like do a lot of research and
49:28
certain stories stood out to you and that's what made you choose them? Like
49:32
how what was your process working to create this deck? Interesting? Is so?
49:37
I actually I've always been writing stories. Yeah, so it's just a
49:42
habit of mine. Yeah. So I think in when I really wanted to
49:45
create a stack, I actually already had a lot of stories there, you
49:50
know, just in my past writing or what in my journal, right,
49:53
And so when I was going through on the past writing and realized that I
49:59
could actually all those stories together and make it a very interesting a deck of
50:05
cars, you know, or a book for people to read and to And
50:09
I also realized that all the different stories they are, they can be related
50:15
associated with the conslation signs, and so this could also be very good for
50:20
astrology lovers because they will be able to understand the story from an astrological perspective.
50:27
And so I selected those forty stories from my reservoir writing, yeah,
50:34
and I put them together with the astrological elements. Yeah. M interesting.
50:39
Now you also talk about, which I kind of remembered, the myth of
50:45
Theseus and then I had to relook it up before the show, and I
50:50
was like, oh, the sacrificing for the greater good? Right, Okay,
50:52
So yeah, because you talk about the myth of Theseus as it's very
50:58
good to know that story to be a stronger leader. So I'm gonna let
51:02
you, yeah, Like, how would that relate, like for for those
51:07
of us that want to be stronger leaders, and especially for the leaders of
51:12
our world, right politicians, maybe they should they should read the story.
51:19
Right. So, so what is interesting about Secy's story is that, you
51:22
know, most people know him as a king of Athens. He was probably
51:27
one of the most prominent heroes from Greek mythology. Uh, But what I
51:31
understand about Secy was he was not just a king, because he was the
51:36
one who actually you know, he was very famous for his deed, uh,
51:39
you know, slaughtering the minotaur, the monster in the latins and saving
51:45
you know, the young boys and young girls. Right, So you can
51:49
tell that not only is he a king, but also he's a warrior.
51:53
He is the one actually taking the action to save people, to save the
51:59
kids, and he's not there just giving instructions or you do this, you
52:02
do that, but he is actually the one doing it. And so his
52:07
leadership, first of all, is really life in his own sense of action,
52:12
and he's setting a great example for the people around him. And after
52:16
he became the king. He pretty much transformed Athens in this ancient city.
52:22
Like he was building dams, he was building bridges with together with the people
52:28
of Athens. Right, So again, he was not really just a like
52:31
a royalty, you know, sitting in his throne and enjoying his why and
52:36
being okay, I'm the king, everyone respects me, please. He was
52:38
really a door. He was once setting a great example for the people around
52:43
him during the wartime when he was launtering the minotaur, and also during the
52:47
peaceful time when he was really building the city. And so that's what I
52:51
love about Cysius because I feel that, you know, he really set a
52:54
great example to a lot of the people in modern days. You want to
53:00
become a leader, whether you want to become a leader of a country or
53:02
maybe you are just a let's see, a CEO of a small company,
53:07
right, I mean, how would you like people to see you as a
53:09
Cessius, the king of Athos in your own environment? And that's what it
53:14
is. So yeah, so I think this he could be. He would
53:17
be the perfect match for the conslation side of the areas. And the keyword
53:23
is leadership, yeah yeah, and looking at what's best for the greater good
53:29
and not the individual, which is really really interesting. I love the symbolism
53:32
and the cards. Now tell people listening because we only have a few minutes
