Dionysus + Ariadne as Faery King + Queen with Maeg Keane

Today we welcome on the show writer, astrologer, and herbalist Maeg Keane of Third Sister. Maeg has a really beautiful and almost alchemical perspective on the role that plants and the stars play in our lives, and how we can engage them for personal growth, exploration, and evolution. Maeg originally caught my attention through her writing and astrological services around Dionysus and the 5th house of the birth chart. The mythopoetics of Dionysus has played a pivotal role in my life and practice and it was a blast talking with someone with such an eloquent take on a shared passion. Maeg and I also can't contain ourselves in dedicating most of the show to another shared interest, and a being Maeg is planning on exploring more deeply in the coming months: Ariadne. We discuss the notion of Dionysus and Ariadne through the lens of Faery King and Queen. The way deity can speak through mythologies that might even be written to subvert their role and power in society, and how these beings speak to us through the stars. I hope this is the first of many chat's with Maeg on these subjects.
