This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I get personal as I explore the concept of the core self through the archetype of The Hermit and the Internal Family Systems model. I had a great conversation with a listener recently who shared that she was listening to This Jungian Life Podcast when they spoke about how the first 50 years of our life is about finding our place in the world, and the next 50 is about finding our place within ourselves. This was deeply profound for me because I feel like I'm somehow straddling both of these experiences right now. So, I dive into the archetype of The Hermit and explore how it relates to accessing our true, core Self. I talk about the 8 C's of the Self as coined by the Internal Family Systems model and pull SO MANY CARDS! Along with The Hermit I explore, Two of Wands, Page of Wands, Death, Page of Cups, Temperance, Queen of Swords, Three of Cups, and the Queen of Pentacles. This is one of my favorite episodes to date!
