In the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, the principle of gender states: There is gender in everything, masculine and feminine exist on all planes.
In this episode, John Moore explores the meaning of gender from the perspective of spirit. He talks about the divine masculine impulse - Eros, and the divine feminine impulse - Agape and how they cannot be separated.
Beyond patriarchy, politics, and sex, how do yin and yang play out in our spiritual lives, and the benefit of embracing both sides? John touches on the Tao - yin, and yang, as well as shamanism.
John talks about the fetch or fylgia from Celtic and Norse beliefs and how that shows up in the series, based on His Dark Materials.
Bringing it back to the shamanic impulse, John discusses his experiences of gender while training in shamanism and sitting in shamanic circle.
