Om For the Shire: Coming Home Through Tolkien, Tarot and Jung
Two very nerdy Mellons, Molly and Libby, begin a new adventure... For the Shire: Coming Home through Tolkien, Tarot and Jung.
In this podcast we geek out about the Lord of the Rings and explore its characters through the archetypal portals of Tarot and Jungian Depth Psychology.
We share how these books have shaped us, given meaning to our lives and carried us to the crack of doom… and back again.
Please join us on this road as it follows ever on and on.
"May it be a light for you in dark places, when all other lights go out."
