We’ll go over what Jung (and Jungian scholars in general) say about the Magician, set it in the African context, and then examine specific examples of the Magician archetype as they show up in African myth, folklore and legend. Listen on YouTube:

Hello Friends!
We close the series with a short reflection on what this might all mean for us as people living in today’s world of chaos and contradictions.

This week, we linger in that sliver of space where the perception of “good” or “bad” rulership bends to the will of the beholder.

New Episode!
I examine archetypal symbols, patterns and motifs from the story of Chief Shemwindo, a case of bad rulership from the legends of the Nyanga of the DRC, and then reflect on how this ties to the persistence of bad rulership on the continent in current times.

Sundiata is to Mali’s Manding people what Arthur of Camelot is to the British. His legend is rich in archetypal symbols and he is one of the continent’s embodiments of a courageous hero who became a beloved ruler.

I will also use some truly unsavory figures from African legend to discuss why it’s important (potentially lifesaving even) for a people to lean into the shadow of their collective stories. It will be an interesting year so don’t miss out!

With a beloved Black/African actress potentially being cast in the role of a traditionally non Black/African character in Greek mythology, I will have opinions if this actually happens.

Hi friends! MA is back from break so regularly scheduled programming starts with the first podcast episode next Sunday, and the January reflection this month.
MA’s focus this year will be on the “mindscapes” of African myths and folklore (since we did landscapes last year).
