Classes on Planetary Personalities & our Erotic Cosmos
My new Podia site (for class downloads), and my upcoming Hymn to Pluto!
For those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter (@urspiritauntie) or Insta (@cosmicspiritauntie), you may not have heard that I’ve had Covid (again!) these past few weeks. While it’s been a time of physical rest, my brain has been ticking away furiously. (OK, that might be the result of the Paxlovid I was taking, which was a little like speed tbh.)
So… while I’ve been in Covid quarantine, I’ve had the chance to upload the first of my recorded classes to my new Podia site, which will be where I host downloadable class recordings for purchase. Right now, you’ll find two items up there (with more to come). Scroll down to read more.
Planetary Personalities in the Orphic Hymns is about how we can get to know the planets in an intimate, fun, and intuitive way using the Orphic Hymns. It is FULL of good juicy details about the major celestial figures, and includes both a retelling of the Orpheus myth (it is WAY queerer than you thought) AND a guided meditation at the end. Yum!
And then there’s Erotic Cosmos: The Orphic Hymns as Medicine for our Times. This is a deep dive into Orphic cosmology and how it can connect us to our true family: earth and starry sky. Offered earlier this year in collaboration with Drew Levanti, Erotic Cosmos is a queer-friendly, ecospiritual journey modeled on that of the original Orphic Mysteries. Using the Orphic Hymn to Selene/Moon (which you’ll receive a printable copy of, along with the course download), we look at how the Orphics used poetry to help us remember the cosmic, but very much embodied being we always already have been.
Oh…and one more thing. While I was in my own quarantine underworld, Pluto ingressed into Aquarius. To honor His passage, I have been doing a TON of research and translation. Please send good thoughts/prayers/rites/interpretive dances for my continued good health so I can finish up the Pluto material and get it to you because man, it’s an esoteric funhouse of a doozy!
And, as always, if you have folks you think would like to be on the receiving list for that translation, please share this site with them. Being sick again has simply reinforced how much I rely on community to help me continue doing this work.
Yours in Earth and Starry Sky,
Kristin
