Letao Wang – Oracle of the Mythic Heroes · Destination Unlimited with Victor Fuhrman

0:04
My name is Victor Furman. Some call me the Voice. I've always been
0:11
fascinated with human nature, spirituality, science, and the crossroads at which they
0:17
meet. Join me now and we will explore these topics and so much more
0:22
with fascinating guests, authors, and experts who will guide us to Destination Unlimited.
0:34
Much like the legendary heroes and heroines of Greek and Roman mythology, we
0:41
too experience love, hate, failure, and challenges along our way to enlightenment.
0:49
Though no hero's journey is perfect, we have the power to rise again
0:54
in cosmic alignment with our inner hero. My guest this week on Destination Unlimited,
1:00
Ltau Wang has combined these legendary characters, his personal mastery of astrology,
1:07
a profound understanding of cosmic laws, and his intuitive skills to create The Healing
1:14
Kingdom. Ltau Wang had been confused about life when one faithful meeting with a
1:19
spiritual counselor in Australia changed everything. Since opening his professional practice in Hong Kong,
1:26
he has helped many with financial, family and relationship problems through spiritual counseling.
1:34
His website is the Healing Kingdom dot com and he joins me this week
1:38
to share his path and just publish Divination Deck and book Oracle of the Mythic
1:45
Heroes. Please join me in welcoming to Destination Unlimited. Ltau Wang, Welcome,
1:52
Lato, Hi, Hello Victor. Thank you very much for having me,
1:56
and thank you for joining us and sharing your amazing career in all this
1:59
wonderful work that you bring to our world. So please share with us your
2:02
early path and your early understanding of spirit and nature. M So, I
2:09
actually grew up in a very traditional Chinese family. Uh. My parents are
2:15
never, you know, very spiritual, and you know, they were very
2:17
traditional, and you know, from the early age, we were you know,
2:22
studying things, you know, you know, because I grew up in
2:24
China, so you know, we had to study, you know, whatever,
2:29
you know, the traditional Chinese came to be learn. But spirituality was
2:31
never a part of that. And I think when I was a kid,
2:38
I was really fascinated by, you know, video games and a lot of
2:43
the game characters. I don't know why. I just sometimes I would just
2:46
let myself drift in my imagination and imagine I would I would be one of
2:52
those heroes in the in the game or in the books, and and that
2:58
was a little bit like my escape from the reality or from you know,
3:01
the mountain life. And of course, you know, that was just always
3:07
you know, either you can call that a hobby or something that I like
3:10
to do. But I never really thought I would, you know, use
3:15
my imagination or use my fascination towards a myth as a career until I was
3:25
around twenty eight or twenty nine years old. I remember, because I was
3:30
working in the finance for many, many years, but I was just not
3:36
very inspired. Every day I was doing my job because I needed to pay
3:40
my rent, because I needed to live up to the expectations from either my
3:47
parents or from the so called the society. Right if you are a you
3:53
know, let's say, twenty seven, twenty eight year old guy, this
3:57
is what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to put on a suit,
4:00
posed to go to your job and earn a salary. And and of course,
4:03
you know, during that period of time, I had a lot of
4:06
struggles because I didn't really know what my motivation was and who I was.
4:14
And before that, I think around I was maybe twenty four twenty five,
4:20
I spent some time studying overseas and that's when I met my spiritual teacher,
4:27
who actually officially, yeah, introduced me to Greek mythology, because that's a
4:32
very important part only study astrology. And when I encountered Greek mythology, I
4:41
felt I met my soulmate. I felt that I never felt that fascinated or
4:46
excited about something like that. And so, you know, I was learning
4:54
it. I was studying it, you know, with my teacher and also
4:56
by myself. And around the age of twenty eight twenty nine, I think
4:59
I had my first awakening and I realized that finally realize who I am and
5:08
what I want to do as a career, and what is my calling.
5:11
And so that's how things started. But I would say compared to a lot
5:15
of let's say psychics or spiritual counselors, my development was quite late because a
5:23
lot of people that I know, they realized that when they were kids,
5:25
you know, maybe when they were six or seven years old, they already
5:29
you know, had their you know, first spiritual experience and things like that.
5:31
I didn't. I didn't understand who I was until I was in my
5:39
mid twenties. So but now looking back, yeah, I mean all those
5:45
years that I worked in finance, and I was, you know, also
5:47
in university, I studied something completely different from what I'm doing now. But
5:54
I do feel that all those thoughts are connected, and some of the things
5:58
that I spent years working on and also studying as a student or as a
6:04
worker, they all contributed to my current career. Let me ask you about
6:11
this calling to Greek and Roman mythology. What do you think was the connection
6:16
about the information in Greek and Roman mythology that threw you, that grabbed you.
6:21
Yeah, I guess you know, first of all, I've always had
6:27
this fascination about our past, about our history. Yeah, And I sometimes
6:31
you know, for example, when I was eighteen years old, I actually
6:35
published a book in China. It's a fiction novel about, you know,
6:41
a story that happened three four hundred years ago. So I was also,
6:46
you know, always fascinated by history and the past and the myth because there's
6:50
always something that we didn't know about our past. And secondly, I think
6:57
it doesn't really matter what era that we live in, whether it's now or
7:01
thousands of years ago. We all live on this planet and we all learn
7:06
the same lessons again and again and again. And I don't really think that,
7:12
you know, how we're so much different compared to our ancestors. One
7:19
of the typical examples was we can say, for example, the human beings
7:24
have been involved in wars for thousands of years, but it seems like we
7:30
have never learned our lessons about not starting a war or living yeah, right,
7:36
living harmoniously with each other. We haven't learned that. And you know,
7:40
now, we think we're so much more advanced compared to our ancestors,
7:43
but we still make the same mistakes. So I really feel that we're the
7:46
same. And from the stories in Greek mythology or Roman mythology, we are
7:54
learning exactly the same thing, and they give us a lot of things or
8:01
inspirations, but they're not in the way that is, so how do we
8:09
do? It's very easy for us to learn, I think, because at
8:11
the end of that there are stories, and there's magic in that, there
8:15
is imagination in that. So it's also easy for us to read that without
8:20
too much intensity. We can digest that easily. We find it interesting,
8:26
but we also learn so many things from from from them. Absolutely, Please
8:33
tell us about your founding of the Healing Kingdom. What inspired this and what
8:37
do you offer those who are called to you as clients? M So,
8:43
I think you usually, you know, for most let's say psychics or sometimes
8:50
you know, some people call themselves a fort and tellers, which is,
8:52
you know, totally fine, because I've I've met some of the most amazing
8:56
fords and tellers around the world, whom I also have the opportunity to study
9:01
under. I think what really attracted me was not just about the fortune telling
9:09
or the making predictions for the future, but I was very attracted to being
9:13
a therapist. And I think this has a lot to deal with you know,
9:18
when I was born, my my the natal chart, my astrological natal
9:22
chart, has my normal in conjunction with chirn and chi. In Greek mythology,
9:28
is was wounded healer. He was a centaur and it was also on
9:33
an herbalist right. He used his power to heal millions of people. But
9:41
you know, ironically he was poisoned at the end and he died. And
9:46
so usually when people have this chirn star in conjunction with this norsal, they
9:50
usually find fulfillment and girls in the art of healing or in the art of
9:56
therapy. So when I what I said, I used to work in banks.
10:01
But you know, when you work in banks, you know these kind
10:05
of financial institutions, the purpose of your work is not to help people.
10:09
Well, sometimes you do, but mainly it's to make money, and especially
10:15
sometimes you have to make richer rich people richer, and that's the purpose of
10:20
banking, I think. But for me, I was never fulfilled in that.
10:24
And so when I realized that what I really wanted to do was to
10:28
bring the art of healing to the world, to the at least the world
10:35
that I live in, I realized that I want to start this business.
10:41
And the purpose, of course, a part of it is about fortune telling,
10:45
it's about making predictions, but I my my purpose is really to help
10:50
my clients to look at their current life and their their journey so far and
10:58
sort of let them reflect on their own psychology and so that we can find
11:03
healing and we can find the so called therapy through the session, so that
11:09
they will be able to create their own tool when they move forward in their
11:13
life. And that's the motivation of starting the Healing Kingdom. As both a
11:20
spiritual counselor and professional astrologist, you've been helping clients access their intuition and individual
11:28
power for many years. How do tarot and oracle readings support this work?
11:35
So I see taro and oracle readings as powerful tools that I use to support
11:39
my clients in accessing their intuition and also their personal power. I tend to
11:46
focus on these powerful tools more often during the first half of posession I called
11:52
this is the stage of diagnosis, and then I will move on to the
11:58
so called counseling part where I will combine my esoteric studies and counseling skills over
12:03
the therapeutic process. I do believe that readings act as a mirror because they
12:11
reflect the inner workings of the self and they illuminate the subconscious patterns which can
12:18
shape our experience for me, terrort cars or any type of oracle cars that
12:24
we use. They are effective in revealing the dynamics at play in our lives
12:30
and they offer insights into our past influences, our present circumstances, and also
12:37
our potential future outcomes. And so that's how I use them because I do
12:45
see them act as a divine guidance system that can offer immediate clarity on personal
12:52
questions or the dilemmas we have. So the other thing is about the you
12:56
know, is astrology, and as we all know that astrology is the foundation
13:01
of all esoteric studies. You know, numerology is related to it. Uh,
13:07
each terror card is related to is ruled by the astrological either it's a
13:15
sign or it's a planet. And so when we study herald you know,
13:20
oracle cards, or even numerology and mythology, we can always find their origins
13:24
in astrology. And all these different ways we use are based on the hermetic
13:30
concept of as above, so below, and as within so without to interpret
13:33
the relationships between the celestial bodies and human life. And this implies that the
13:39
patterns and the movement occurring in the cosmos are mirrored here on Earth and in
13:45
our lives, characters, and destinies. And thus I think in my spiritual
13:50
counseling sessions, by studying the positions and aspects of the heavening bodies, or
13:54
by analyzing the card messages pulled by the client, we can gain insight into
14:01
the subtle forces at play in our lives. And so, as a result
14:05
of this celestial symmetry, astrology and card reading can offer a framework through which
14:13
we can better understand ourselves and navigate the complexities of our lives. What sets
14:18
you apart from most astrologists today? I believe that my unique approach to astrology
14:26
sets me apart from many practitioners in the field. And I think this distinction
14:33
stems from my background background in counseling. As you know, sometimes you go
14:39
to a traditional astrologer, especially I've seen a lot of Vedic astrologers focus on
14:46
a lot on let's say, the future prediction or the part of fate.
14:50
For example, I live in Hong Kong, and you know, we have
14:54
a big population of Indian people here, and sometimes we have a lot of
14:58
Indian clients coming to me and saying, oh, they have seen them a
15:01
Vedic astrologer, maybe back in India or somewhere, and they were told that
15:05
at certain age they must get married. You know, this is the time
15:09
that they must do this and this, you know. So you know what
15:13
my understanding about Vedic astrology is, it focuses so much on fate. It
15:18
focuses on you know, what we must do at certain timing. But as
15:22
a spiritual counselor what I really what I want to believe in. And also
15:26
I think this would work a lot better for for people in general, is
15:33
that there is a sense of faith in there. But we really want to
15:37
focus on how we can use our own action, our own our own you
15:43
know, change of our mentality and our attitude to create the future that we
15:48
want, rather than purely uh you know, rely on the so called destiny,
15:52
even though there is the desnthy there. And so I think this is
15:58
very important when we bring the canting part into an astrology session or a terror
16:03
car session, it's about empowering people rather than telling them this is your fate
16:08
and deal with it or not, you know what I mean. And so
16:14
yeah, so I think, yeah, and I think that's the difference.
16:18
And that's why, even though I was trained by a traditional fortune teller,
16:22
you know, when I was living in Sydney, Australia, about I would
16:26
say four years after I started my practice, I realized I really wanted to
16:34
study counseling systematically. So I that's how I started my uh my master degree
16:41
in UH in psychological counseling. And through that course and I was really able
16:48
to gain the knowledge and also learn the practice actually in modern day counseling.
16:53
And I was fortunate to actually, uh, you know interurn in different you
17:00
know clinics and really see actual patients in clins who are looking for you know,
17:07
psychological counseling. And that really helped me a lot in my in my
17:11
own practice. I think, how has astrology changed since its beginnings in ancient
17:18
Mesopotamia? Mm hm, So Australia has this long history. I think.
17:23
I think it originated in the yeah, the Mesopotania time around you know,
17:30
third third millennium BC, and then it spread it to India and then you
17:36
know, then you know, spread to many different countries into you know,
17:41
Greece and other countries. I think when we read the old astrology books,
17:47
right, I mean we're the you know, the things related to the old
17:49
astrology articles, and we can see that it was a lot more rigid.
17:56
Like what I said, it focused a lot on the so called prebateiction techniques
18:00
and it's about what happens, you know, and because the stars are moving
18:06
in this way, that's why this will happen, right, That's why the
18:08
king will die, That's why there will be a flood. I think these
18:12
days when we look at astrology personally, I don't really believe that astrology predicts
18:18
our future. Even though I am an astrologer, I believe that it's more
18:21
sort of like astrology. They're a little bit like a mural. They're reflecting
18:25
our human mind, and so they don't really control us. We are not
18:30
being led by the stars. Right. Let's say now, for example,
18:33
Pluto has just moved into a Quarius these months, and so that's why now
18:40
you know, our thinking are you know changed, you know, and now
18:41
we're all about you know, AI technology revolution things like that. But I
18:47
do feel that modern tech austrology has developed into a more into a different explanation
18:55
right about the sky, and we're really looking at the synchronicity between the celestial
19:00
riem and us. So it's not about they decide our life or we decide
19:04
their movement, but it's more about we come to this understanding that everything works
19:11
in harmony, and they work sort of like you know, in synchronicity with
19:17
each other, and when certain things are moving to certain positions and there are
19:21
certain things happening in our human society, and it's almost like we're each other's
19:26
a mirror. And that's how I see the difference between the modern astrology and
19:30
the traditional where the old astrology from hundreds of years ago. You've created an
19:36
amazing new deck, the Oracle of the Mythic Heroes, in which you combine
19:41
astrology, crystals, zodiac signs, Greek and Roman mythology, and much more.
19:48
How are each of these divination tools connected and how do they work together?
19:52
Yeah, so I'm really happy about this deck which has just been published
19:57
the beginning of January. This here with Beyond Words publishing. For me,
20:03
each of these divination tools right that you mentioned astrology, crystals and zodic signs
20:10
through their You know, I think they're all unique in their in their own
20:15
way, and but the important thing is they're intricately interconnected through a shared object,
20:22
which is to offer guidance, introspection, uh, and a deeper understanding
20:26
of the self and the universe. So astrology and zodic signs tend to map
20:30
out our personality, traits, our strength, the challenges based on celestial patterns.
20:37
Well. The crystals in the book, I think they help us harning
20:41
the energy of the Earth to bring the balance and clarity. So you can
20:45
see astrology and crystals mirror each other, just like the sky and the earth
20:51
and mythology in the book is a very very important part. Because you can
20:55
also see the guide Book of Oracle of the mythic Heroes as my own rendition
20:59
of forty different mythological stories. I believe they provide us with a time tested
21:07
wisdom through you know, the the personified deities and the heroes. You know,
21:14
some of them are quite complex, you know, like what I said
21:17
in the book, none of them are perfect. They all struggle, and
21:21
some of them, you know, they gain their victory, but later you
21:25
know they fall again. Right, So it's almost like they keep going through
21:29
this the way of fortune, the cycle of life. And I think by
21:33
studying these stories and the narratives, we gain insights into the human condition and
21:38
they help us understand our emotions, our actions and motivations better. The gods
21:47
and the heroes and the mythical creatures, which are carefully selected in this stack,
21:52
embody different aspects of our psych and make them the powerful symbols in our
22:00
psychoanalytic studies. So when we combine all these things together, we create a
22:06
comprehensive toolkit for our self discovery and spiritual growth. And if I may use
22:11
an analogy, I think all of these things they coexist like notes in the
22:17
symphony and each playing their unique part, but together they form a harmonious melody
22:22
that guide us on our path. Beautiful, my guest is Luda Wang.

23:49
this week latal Wang. He is the creator of the beautiful and wonderful oracle
23:56
of the mythic heroes. Letto, you share that there are three heroes for
24:00
each of the sun signs. My sun sign is Capricorn. One heroes are
24:07
associated with the goat, so uh. There are many different archetypes that we
24:12
can we can look at because even when we talk about Capricorn, right,
24:17
it's a it's not just one dimensional. We can look at Capricorn from different
24:22
different angles u in uh if. Usually when we look at a lot of
24:26
the past astrological analysis, I've seen a lot of astrologers where mythologists associate the
24:34
U U the consolation sign Capricorn with Pan. So Pan is a Greek deity.
24:41
He was the Greek god of mountains and nature and trees, and you
24:45
know, he dances, he drinks, you know, he he he's such
24:49
a hedonist right in the in uh a Greek mythology. And but he is
24:56
a little bit like this gold looking god right because he has the human faith
25:00
but he has a gold body, and a lot of people would associate him
25:03
with a Capricorn. And sometimes people ask, but Capacorn is such a hardworking
25:08
energy, right, people say, Capricorn people are very goal oriented, they're
25:14
very hardworking. How can you associate Capricorn with Pan? And so this has
25:18
a lot to deal with Harold, right, because in tarot cards, actually,
25:22
so there's a card that rules a Capricorn, which is the devil card.
25:26
Now, there's nothing scary about the devil card. But usually when we
25:30
look at the devil card, we're talking about in a good way. This
25:33
is about our obsession towards something, right, Right, So if you're talking
25:37
about a career goal or something that we really want to pursue, the devil
25:40
card could be something that is very very helpful because he needs you to focus
25:45
one hundred percent on this thing that you want, and so it's almost like
25:48
you become you become obsessed with it, right, And that's how it's associated
25:53
and the devil. In mythic pild the god actually did picked it on.
26:00
The devil's card is Pan. Now in my book, because my oracle the
26:07
mythic Heroes is mainly talking about the mortals and human stories. So there are
26:11
three heroes that I have written to associate with the the sign of Capricorn.
26:19
The first one is a Yes and his keyword is foundation uh. And the
26:25
second hero is Sisipus and the related keyword is called burden because he had to
26:33
push the rock right up heels all the time. And the last hero related
26:37
to Capricorn, which is more I would say it's easier for people to understand
26:41
why this is Capricorn is lio Nidas and the the keyword for him is perseverance.
26:48
And we can all see his perseverance and his sense of in his courage
26:53
and his tenacity in the movie The three Hundred, in which he led the
27:00
three hundred soldiers spots and soldiers to fight against the Persian invasion. Absolutely.
27:06
You know, you talk about Capricorns being into details, and you talked about
27:10
the devil and as they say, the devil is in the details, correct.
27:14
Absolutely, yeah, you know, sometimes very funny because in the reading
27:18
sometimes, you know, the devil car would show up right and the client
27:22
gets so freaked out and they're like, oh my god, what is this?
27:25
You know, what's wrong? You know, and I'll be like,
27:26
you know, come down. You know, there's no devil really out there,
27:30
but sometimes, you know, the devil is really showing that, you
27:34
know, our obsession or our knees to chase something or to get something,
27:41
and it all depends on how you channel this energy. Sometimes. To be
27:44
honest, we all need a little bit devil energy in us in order to
27:47
find our success. And you talked about Sissyphus pushing the rock up the hill
27:52
and it rolls back down and he has to push it up again. And
27:53
you talked about persistence, and I think that really sort of emphasis is the
28:00
nature of my life and my experience. So thank you for sharing that.
28:03
You're welcome. You're well, that's that's Capricorn, right. But by the
28:07
way, do you know your moon sign? Yes, Aquarius Aquarius? Okay,
28:11
so the sign of the future technology absolutely interesting sun and Capricorn moon Aquarius
28:19
and cancer ascendant. Oh you're cancer rising? Oh interesting? Okay. So
28:25
so you've got you know, the Earth, you've got the the air energy,
28:27
and you also got the water energy there. Interesting And as a dear
28:32
friend of mine, an astrology front of mine said, I'm a hot mess
28:37
or interesting. Interesting. Well, you know, usually when we look at
28:41
you know sun and the sun the right people ask, so, you know,
28:45
what do they mean? Okay? Does that just mean that I have
28:47
three signs in US? Usually I see these three different you know, signs
28:51
in US. It's the sun is really showing what you are living your life
28:55
to be. The sun is almost like the future goal there, right,
28:57
So we're walking towards us. And your moon sign is something that you are
29:02
born with because the moon is about your natural instinct, it's your usually,
29:07
you know, if you consult an astrologer, they will tell you the moon
29:10
sign represents your family, your early childhood, sometimes talking about your mother,
29:15
sometimes talking about your emotional reaction. And the one thing that is very interesting
29:18
about our emotion reaction is that we don't learn that your emotional reaction is something
29:23
that naturally in you. And I always use this example. For example,
29:27
Let's say you're driving your car right and someone maybe beep to you, you
29:32
know, from behind. What is your reaction towards that? Right? And
29:36
definitely, you know, the moon sign in aerage people will be more explosive,
29:38
but the moon sign in liberal people, the first thing they react is,
29:41
okay, I want to you know, resolve these issues through diplomatic negotiation.
29:48
So you know, the moon sign is something that we're born with,
29:51
but the sun is something we have to learn. And that is why a
29:55
lot of people when they come to a consultation, they say, I cannot
29:59
relate to my son sign. Right. For example, some people say I'm
30:02
a let's say I'm a cancer, but I don't love children, right,
30:06
I don't want children, but I don't understand why I'm a cancer. So
30:08
that has a lot to deal with that because the sun sign is not something
30:11
you're naturally born with. The moon is something a lot of people can associate
30:15
more and at an early stage. And the sundence is the path that you
30:19
need to walk towards your son. Pretty much, let's share a few other
30:25
of the mythical characters and the relationship in the cards. Please share with us
30:30
the myth of theseus and how does this guide those seeking to be stronger leaders?
30:36
Right? So? Uh, Thethius I wrote this hero as the first
30:41
chapter in Oracle of the Mythic Heroes, and his associated zoetic sign is Aris.
30:48
Yeah, which is also the first sign on the astrological wheel. We
30:52
all know Thethius is widely regarded as a great leader in Greek mythology because of
30:57
his heroic feats, his strategic intellect, and also his noble character. He
31:04
is most famous for slaying the Minotaur, which is a fearsome beast which resided
31:11
in the labyrinth of Crete. The successfully navigated the complex mays on his own,
31:18
which showcases his resourcefulness and also his courage. And secondly, I think
31:22
his leadership was also evident in his role as a king of Athens after the
31:27
Minotaur journey. Uh, he significantly contributed contributed to the political and the social
31:36
reformation of the city states Athens. His commitment to justice, combined with his
31:44
bravery and his wisdom, cement his legacy as an amazing leader in Greek myth
31:51
So you can see how this sets him apart from heroes such as let's say
31:55
Jason or Balarathan, who played a role more or less of a warrior instead
31:59
of a king. And so that's the difference he for example, one of
32:05
the difference is, you know, a king has to take responsibility, unlike
32:08
for example, Jason, after become becoming the king, he pretty much didn't
32:15
do much about you know, his uh, his his kingdom. And so
32:19
I think this is the part about Theseius. That is really honorable because he
32:22
was not just you know about his courage and okay, he slaid the minotaur,
32:28
but also he really you know, took the responsibility of a king and
32:31
he developed Athens. Yeah, Orpheus was a bard, a musician, and
32:37
a prophet. If someone draws the card of Orpheus, what message might they
32:43
need to hear? Uh? Well, I have to say Orpheus is one
32:46
of my favorite Greek mythology. Uh the characters so far, I mean,
32:52
I always have so much admiration towards this figure. Just in case our audience
33:00
don't know about him. He's a legendary figure known for his extraordinary musical talent.
33:06
This figure sends a powerful spiritual message about healing and the power of love.
33:10
Actually, first of all, if we read the stories even before his
33:15
love of youur it is Orpheis never really played his a leayer or a liar
33:22
for entertainment purposes or attention. He played it to heal the people around him
33:28
as a therapy. In astrology, creativity and performance are usually ruled by Leo
33:34
because Leo symbolizes our desire to take the center stage, to be in the
33:37
limelight and get the attention and the plaus we need. But it's a bit
33:43
like I'm standing in the center and it's you know, the Leo energy.
33:45
Yeah, it's a bit like I'm standing in the center and all eyes are
33:50
on me. But in Oracle the mythic heroes, we can see that the
33:53
ruling zodic for Orphis is not Leo. It's cancer, and cancer is a
33:58
water is an emotional sign. And this is why Worth his music was not
34:02
about being showy or entertaining, but it was more about being loving, nurturing,
34:07
and protective. We can also see this from his participation with the Argonauts
34:14
with Jason and later his assistance to Odysseus in Homer's Ilia and Odyssey, and
34:21
his musical instrument, the lyric, was more like his own weapon to protect
34:24
his friends uh and his allies from the harm of the sirens. So the
34:31
most important story about him was also his journey into the underworld. He dared
34:37
to venture into the underworld for the love of his wife, Eridus, and
34:40
this story teaches us about the depths that we're willing to traverse for healing,
34:45
love and transformation. And this tale encourages personal healing by urging us to confront
34:51
our fears. As we all know the underworld is is scary, so that
34:57
we need to face the darkness and shadows in us bring back the light,
35:01
much like Worfiz and his journey to the underworld, So now we can learn
35:07
from He's also from his failed attempt to save his wife. He looked back
35:12
at the soul of eurroit Is despite Hades warned him why because he couldn't trust.
35:17
So on the surface level, it was about him not trusting Hades,
35:22
but metaphorically it was about him not trusting himself, as the underworld is really
35:28
the symbol of our deepest subconsciousness. So I think when it comes to healing,
35:32
his story also prompts us to question ourselves what can we not trust?
35:38
And where does that come from? And also you share the connection between the
35:43
crystal emerald and the story of Orpheus. What's the message there? Well,
35:49
emerald crystal is famous for its hard healing properties. It resonates with you know,
35:54
the message of Wortheiz profoundly. I think it is known to promote emotional
36:00
balance, healing, and abundance, the qualities that align with Orpheus's tale of
36:05
love and transformation. And I think By embracing the emerald crystal's energy, you
36:10
can use it for your meditation. We're simply carried with you. We can
36:15
foster the courage needed to face our inner darkness, just like Orpheus, leading
36:21
us to our profound healing and personal transformation. Now, when we think of
36:27
Medusa, we envision the gorgon with snakes for hair and the ability to turn
36:32
those who looked upon her into stone? What might the universe be telling us
36:37
if we draw the card for Mendusa. This is another very very interesting figure
36:45
right in Greek mythology. Some people really love medusas some people are very scared
36:50
of her. I think Medusa carries this profound spiritual and psychological symbolism. She
36:57
represents the dark and the primal aspect of the human psyche. She embodies the
37:02
concept of the shadow, which is represented with sorry, which is repressed and
37:08
denied in us. Often and sometimes we can also cause a lot of destructive
37:14
behaviors and traits. The snake hair that she has represents intertwining of fear,
37:21
desire, and danger. It serves as a reminder to all of us that
37:25
our deepest fear are often closely intertwined with our greatest desires and can lead us
37:31
down dangerous, dangerous path if left unchecked. And also think may do to
37:37
the gaze that well, we all know her gaze could turn anyone who looks
37:43
at her into stone. We can also see this as a warning against being
37:47
consumed by one's own ego and vanity. And when this card shows up,
37:52
for example, in the reading and I think it's it's a call from our
37:58
higher self to tell us to confront our inner shadows. In the midst the
38:02
godess of wisdom Athena instructed Perseous, the famous hero, to use a polished
38:09
shield as a mirror to defeat Medusa, so we can see the observation through
38:15
the mirror. Uh. This mirror like shield by Perseus to defeat Medusa serves
38:22
as a metaphor. Uh. It teaches us to confront and conquer our inner
38:25
struggles through our reflection and honesty. And actually, the key word for this
38:31
Medusa card in this in oracle of the Mysic heroes is called reflection. Is
38:37
about finding that shiny mirror in us so that we can reflect and destroy that
38:44
darkness in us. You know, the idea of turning to stone. We're
38:49
really talking about the heart turning to stone to close the heart? Is it
38:53
one hundred percent? Yeah, that's what I Because I think a lot of
38:58
the actual counseling sessions, when ever we see the first card, you know,
39:01
coming out as a MEDDUSA, they're usually saying that there's something being closed
39:07
in the client's heart, for sure. A very typical example that I can
39:10
give to you is, let's say, several weeks ago, I had a
39:15
client who was you know, who came to me told me she felt very
39:20
stuck and her first card was MEDDUSA. And when I asked her what happened,
39:23
and she said, she has been She's a female client in her mid
39:29
forties, and she has never been married, and you know, she had
39:34
a very you know, traumatizing experiences in dating but you know, around that
39:40
age, and she felt she has lost hope in love. And I asked
39:45
her, as why would you say that, and she said, because I
39:47
just don't see it. I don't see anyone will be with me. I
39:52
don't see why people, you know, because she said, I learned from
39:55
my history, but nobody really wanted me. And I really think that's the
39:59
meado in us. It's almost like we're closing that door for us, assuming
40:04
that nothing can happen based on our history alone. And I think the so
40:09
called Athena's shiny mirror, it's about we have to look at ourselves sometimes.
40:15
I tell my clients literally look into the mirror every morning, and so that
40:19
sometimes you look at yourself, you realize that I don't want to you know,
40:22
I don't want to be like this, I don't want to live like
40:24
this, and I don't want to tell myself these kind of things. And
40:28
so I really think mirror could be used as a very good tool for our
40:30
self reflection. Yeah, especially if we don't see snakes in our hair.
40:35
Right. Yeah. My guest is lettal Wang. His book is called The
40:40
Oracle of the Mythic Heroes, and the cards within it are absolutely beautiful.
40:45
We'll be back with more after these words on the Own Times Radio network.

41:45
Eastern on Old Times Radio back on Destination Unlimited. My guess this week is
42:00
Ladao Wang, the creator of the Oracle of the mythic heroes. Ladell tell
42:06
us about Psyche and the message that she brings. Psyche comes from a very
42:14
interesting story. And this is a story loved by many many people because this
42:17
is a love story and it has a beautiful ending. So Psyche in the
42:22
story and she fell in love with God of God of Love, Erros or
42:28
some sometimes people know this god more as a cubit right. So the love
42:32
Angel the son of every deity or Venus, and her journey in this story
42:38
has is very eventful because Ephydity, the mother of Eras, was very much
42:45
against this union, and so Psyche has to go through all the trials and
42:51
tribulations in order to prove her love towards Eros, and eventually the story had
42:58
a beautiful ending. The last task that Aphrodite Gate to Uh Psyche and was
43:06
to go down to the underworld to faith, you know, because underworld is
43:10
where dead people go to and generally speaking, mortals are not allowed to enter
43:16
the rim of the underworld. There is for example, the Three has dog
43:22
a servers guarding the door the gate of the underworld, and it's deep,
43:27
and it's dark, and it's scary, right, and there are souls,
43:30
you know, floating around. So for Psyche, a young girl, a
43:34
mortal girl, to descend into the underworld, it requires her to forfeit a
43:38
lot of the things. And so this whole journey is about her her own
43:45
transformation, how she left uh from a girl, she became a goddess through
43:52
this journey, and how she Uh you know, through her own transformation,
43:57
achieved her goal to be with arrows. There's only also one more thing that
44:01
I want to share about Psyche. I think she's very interesting because psyche actually
44:07
is in ancient Greek language, it means our soul, and so it's it's
44:15
almost like, you know, this transformation journey for Psyche is also about finding
44:19
her soul, finding who she really is. And so when a client puts
44:24
out this card, and I really think that what the client is going through
44:28
is an eventful period of time, maybe they also need to descend into their
44:31
own the soul called underworld for their own transformation, so that they will be
44:36
able to come out and finish their transformation from let's say, immortal girl to
44:42
a god is out of these cards bridge our relationship between our physical being and
44:50
intuitive selves. Well, I think each card in an oracle of the mythic
44:57
heroes serves as a powerful, yeah, powerful bridge between our sides, uh,
45:05
you know, our physical being and our intuitive self. This allows us
45:08
to tap into the unseen wisdom of the universe. They stimulate our subconscious mind.
45:16
They they bring forth insights and a guidance often overlooked in our daily lives.
45:24
And by posing questions to the oracle cards and interpreting the symbolic messages of
45:30
each card that we draw, we engage in a dynamic conversation with our inner
45:37
selves. Actually, and this can also spark and exploration of our deepest thoughts
45:43
and feelings. This helps us to cultivate a stronger alignment I think, between
45:50
our physical actions and our intuitive guidance, fostering personal growth and our self awareness.
45:59
One of the practice I always tell my clients to do is a daily
46:04
card role, because cultivating this habit can prove to be a transform transformative practice.
46:13
There's a powerful means to self discovery and enlightenment, offering us daily guidance
46:17
and insights. Sometimes it doesn't does not have to be about something really grand,
46:22
but that one message or that on that one card could really change the
46:29
way we deal with our daily activities. Uh and I think this can really
46:32
help us to either avoid making certain mistakes. Sometimes it just gives us more
46:40
confidence, and it gives us more It gives us a more positive attitude towards
46:46
our our daily operation. We had touched upon earlier how the position of the
46:53
moon in our birth charts affects us, but how the lunar cycles and the
46:58
moon spaces affect us on a regular basis. So the moon's movement the lunar
47:06
cycle actually has been studied by many many astrologers and one of my favorite astrologers,
47:12
and unfortunately she already passed away many years ago. I wrote a book
47:16
about the lunar cycle, right, and her name I remember her name was
47:22
James Spiller. I was really fascinated by his book. So when we look
47:28
at the lunar journey, right, we know the moon goes around the Earth
47:32
around let's say twenty eight to let's say twenty nine days, thirty days,
47:37
and this thirty days journey or twenty eight days journey. The moon will start
47:43
from its new moon face, which is a dark moon. That's the time
47:47
when the moon is having a conjunction with the sun, and slowly we're seeing
47:52
a crescent and within the half moon. And then fourteen days later we achieved
47:57
the woman in the sky. And each moonface represents they have different let's say,
48:05
spiritual meanings. The new moon is the birth of a newman cycle in
48:08
a specific constellation sign. That's the reason why we sometimes hear terms like new
48:15
moon in areas right, new moon in Porous, or new moon in Gemini,
48:20
things like that. And each month we have this new moon and when
48:22
the moon starts, it's it's a journey in its own lunar cycle. It's
48:28
a refreshment. It represents the starting point of something, and you know when
48:32
we need to grow something, and so it's always encouraged for us to make
48:37
wishes on New moon day, right, so when the moon is still new
48:44
and refreshed and fragile, and when fourteen days later the moon becomes full and
48:49
that's the culmination of the lunar cycle, and that's a time for reflection because
48:53
a fullman literally looks like a bright, shiny mirror to us. And so
48:59
what we ref left. Then we also have to look as the constellation sign
49:02
that the woman is in. Sometimes we also hear terms such as foreman in
49:08
Libra where women in scorpio, and depending on the sign the woman is,
49:14
and we gain some type of insights about what this woman needs us to reflect
49:17
or balance. You share that there are cosmic laws and universal regularities. How
49:25
may we embrace these and lead the lives that we were born for. I
49:31
think it's really about the so called synchronisity synchronicitis right that we we talked about
49:38
earlier. I think the so called cosmic regularities is about learning how to move
49:45
work together with the stars. Sometimes it doesn't even have to be about the
49:49
stars, to be honest, I think a lot of things in our lives
49:52
are all synchronized together. Uh. This could be as simple as you walk
49:57
down the street and you see sometimes you know, we see numbers on the
50:00
street. Let's say you know, a triple three, right, or a
50:05
four to ones. You know, things like that. And I think it's
50:07
about us constantly being aware of the messages that are around us and giving us
50:15
time to reflect on what these signs and what Sometimes, if you study astrologist,
50:21
could also be about you observing the movement of the planet and sometimes just
50:27
to remind ourselves that what does that mean to me? Right when when a
50:30
certain planet is moving to a certain position, forming a certain aspect with a
50:35
different planet. And this is how we learn to live together with the synchronicity
50:43
worth the cosmic regularity, I think, and a lot of the times,
50:46
you know, for example, in the ancient days, right, that's what
50:49
humans used to do. We didn't have those, you know, skyscrapers.
50:53
The sky was clear, nothing was blocking our view. So our ancestors was
50:58
watching the stars every day, every night. You know, everything is just
51:01
in front of us. Now, you know, we live in twenty twenty
51:05
four. We have so many things to look at and so we don't really
51:09
you know, when was the last time, you know, you raise your
51:12
head and you were thinking, Okay, I wonder where Jupiter is. You
51:15
know, nowadays we don't do that enough. And so I think it's more
51:20
about bringing the awareness of observation of our universe and observing, you know,
51:27
just generous being the world around us to find that synchronicity. You've said,
51:31
and I quote, the universe needs a humanity that is harmonious and has a
51:37
strong sense of unity. We are all in this together and we can overcome
51:44
any challenge. What would you offer those who are worried about the state of
51:47
humanity and the challenging and often heart wrenching events that we're all experiencing. So
51:55
so you know, on the back of the book right the guide book of
52:00
or called the Mystic Heroes, this is what I wrote. I said,
52:02
No heroes are perfect, neither are they utterly invincible. In the myth,
52:07
they love, they hate, they struggle, they fail, and they rise
52:12
again together with the cosmic way of Writune. And I think this is what
52:16
it is. Sometimes when we look at the world, the real world around
52:21
us, we can all be a little bit disillusioned because we see the heart
52:23
wrenching news. We see what is happening, you know, around us,
52:29
and more often than now, it upsets us, right, whether that's political
52:34
news or let's say, related to families, you know, relationships. Sometimes
52:42
we also hear these kind of stories from our friends and families, and we
52:45
wonder, what is this world about, you know, aren't we supposed to
52:52
live harmoniously and happily together. And I really feel that perhaps at this moment,
52:57
we are still learning what I said at the very beginning of our interview,
53:02
we're still learning the lessons our ancestors were learning, because after thousands of
53:07
years, we're still making the same mistakes. And this is in a good
53:12
way. It's about there are still things for us to learn, and there
53:15
are still things for us to to understand what works for humanity and what doesn't.
53:22
And I think if each one of us could look at this in a
53:28
more rational and logical way, we would be able to overcome a lot of
53:34
the the the let's say, challenges which are not necessarily which were not really
53:42
necessary to us, to be honest, because a lot of the lessons we
53:44
didn't we didn't really need to learn them. So many times I think,
53:46
yeah, but we're still learning them and so right, so we can overcome
53:52
them if we can really look at this from a rational perspective rather than only
53:58
looking at what we desire, on what is best for us. And now,
54:00
I have to to be honest, a lot of the political news in
54:04
Asia, right, you know, the issues. I'm not gonna name the
54:07
countries, right, so you know, Okay, this is my island,
54:09
this is my territory, right, this is your territory, things like that.
54:13
But sometimes I look at you know, I watch these news and thinking,
54:15
but you know, from the perspective of our universe, we're just all
54:20
living on this small blue ball floating in the nowhere in the universe, and
54:24
we're fighting about bad land. I think probably aliens are laughing at us,
54:30
you know that, literally, I really feel like that, the aliens thinking.
54:32
You know, it's almost us watching two three year old kids fighting over
54:37
an apple. Right, so we're gonna think, you know, yeah,
54:39
right, okay, well whatever, right, you know who's apple? Who
54:43

54:51
your military there. This is my territory. Right, and this is my

55:01
