Living Mandala Podcast

The Living Mandala of Oz podcast series explores the corresponding upcoming Living Mandala of Oz oracle deck through a series of conversations based on the color schematic of the cards. Each color in the deck corresponds to a country or character type within the magical realm of Oz. In this podcast series, Dr. G. William Barnard and I discuss each color one by one in an effort to tap into themes of divination, chakras, occult knowledge and spiritual undertones available to dissect in the 14 marvelous Oz books by L. Frank Baum. Episode 11 - Chariots of Ascension - DEEP GRAY - In L. Frank Baum’s Oz books, the recurring use of "chariots", vehicles of transition like the cyclone, hot air balloon, and whirlpool, can be seen as symbolic conduits of energy flow within the auric field, particularly in the subtle, liminal spaces between consciousness and transformation. These gray-toned phenomena, neither purely dark nor light, represent threshold experiences, moments where a character is lifted out of the ordinary and transported into a new energetic realm. Episodes drop every two weeks.
