| 6/19/26 | ![]() #157 - Abbie Rosner - Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging | "Long before their appearance in the modern West, psychedelic medicines were understood and revered as portals into sacred space." WELCOME today you will hear about SUCH a progressive and wise theme, when we talk about sacred medicine in older age. In fact it is a revolution— in the role of elders in our society. My guest and author today also write: "What a delight to meet my inquisitive, slightly edgy younger self again! And yet, altering my consciousness in older age, I found the weight of life experience grounded me like an anchor. I knew myself, my mind, my strengths. Years of meditation had taught me how to deal with that old trickster, fear. Now, pot invited me to put on music and dance, dive deep into conversation, and simply ponder life with a joy I'd never known. If that was what happened with cannabis, I couldn't wait to revisit psilocybin." Her name is Abbie Rosner, she is leading a movement of conscious aging, and in the book she shares not only her own experience but more than 30 older psychonauts share how their psychedelic experiences helped them heal old wounds, align with their authentic selves, and experience profound love and forgiveness. Her book is called "Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging" and is published in july of 2026 by Inner Traditions. In this interview we adress topics such as: -Why the focus of baby boomers -Aging before and aging now! -Bringing in psychedelics for the benefits for older adults -How it can help prepare transition: "Experiencing this paradox of simultaneously being everything and nothing may be about as close as we mortals can get to the divine. It can also extend a level of comfort to the idea of our own mortality. Some find that moving beyond the boundaries of self is useful for making peace with death." -The shift of consciousness -The experience of being PRESENT -Safety around drugs -and a word that I now love and will use all the time: MULTI-GENERATIONAL COMMUNITIES In the end we touch on the the Leo-Aquarius archetype in Abbies chart that for example show that she will live from a truth that has not yet become conventional which matches the fact that she gives voices to pioneering psychedelic elders.

| 6/11/26 | ![]() #156 - Dr. Cynthia Li - THE MEDICINE OF FLOW - Just One Conscious Awareness Away - QiGong for Health | Dr. Cynthia Li is a Physician, Author, and Integrative Healer and - will I add - an excellent speaker as you will hear in this interview on her brand new book: "The Medicine of Flow: Harmonizing Your Inner State for Effortless Healing". She shares how she was merging with the emptiness, when the book wrote itself into a series of letters to her younger self. Cynthia has a wonderful speaking flow and I hope you will feel a piece of healing, just from listening to this. Here is some of what we touch on in this interview: -Opening to the flow of LIFE -Rapid healing - The understanding of flow and that illness is part of a continuum with healing -Illness is not a gift, but part of life and can show us things -Our energy patterns are connected to our consciousness state -Our RELATIONSHIP to the symptoms -Energy fields and heart-brain coherence -Our Electromagnetic fields -What EMBODIED FLOW is -Playing as one orchestra -The radiance of an energy field -Being synced up and attuned for example when you have clients -What to do before and after clients in terms of energetics -QiGong becoming less and less physical -What happens in healing circles both with need of coherence and prevention of taking on others energy -Flow states -The collective field and communications in sacred places And even more then this. I am so happy you are with us. Go be calm and active at the same time and let ancient wisdome guide and enliven you (If I could put a smiley here I would, but read my many inner smiles) -Mannah LINKS https://www.cynthialimd.com/ https://www.newharbinger.com/9781648487255/the-medicine-of-flow/#nh-book-accessories https://a.co/d/03PHGl6V Mannah https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/ Youtube of this episode: https://youtu.be/etGn8y8XW_U | — | ||||||
| 6/7/26 | ![]() #155 - Angel Millar - Supernatural Woman and the Male Initiate: Bonded Through Dreams | Quote: "Initiations into esoteric societies prepare—or are intended to prepare—the initiate to think about what is beyond life and even what might lie beyond death, and to consider his actions not in relation to his ambition but in relation to the Divine Will. Indeed, the symbolism of death and self-sacrifice is common to initiation rites." (...) "Often, the initiation rite gives the initiate a new body by making it symbolic or talismanic. Most notably, there is frequently special symbolism that relates to the sexual organs. These are no longer the animal organs but acquire some sacred status." Welcome to a very special conversation with Angel Millar, whose quote appears above. His newest book has just been published!! I will just copy his bio from the publisher, Inner Traditions, as my own rephrasing is going to make it worse I'm sure: Author Bio: Angel Millar is a highly esteemed author and lecturer on spirituality, symbolism, sorcery, and self-transformation. He began studying magic and trance in his early manhood and was initiated into the Illuminates of Thanateros in London at the age of 19. Now residing in New York City, he is a certified consulting hypnotist and the author of "The Three Stages of Initiatic Spirituality", "The Path of the Warrior-Mystic", and "Transcend the Chaos". IN THIS CONVERSATION, we touch on topics such as fundamentalism in esoteric communities, dreams and visions that are more than representations of aspects of the personality, true HUMILITY, how sex and self-transformation can come together, encounters with a supernatural woman, how to FEEL if someone is not for you, even if they say all the right words, and in the end, we find out what Angel really thinks of therapy and how his Capricornian nature points us to what is REAL. Angel has a great cardinal (initiatory) nature, so in the astrology corner at the end, we talk about the fusion of what we can call a whole cardinal cross, in fact. I HOPE you too also feel this interview is evocative and worthy of your further exploration and contemplation.

| 6/3/26 | ![]() #154 - David Stokes: Masquerade At The Crossroads of Good And Evil - Holism and Spirit Work in Mental Health and Addiction | "If patients stay in the system long enough, they learn to control all words and gestures linked to fantastical thinking, delusions, grandiosity, and hallucination. Through hard experience they learn the fruit of their best thinking is not approved of by the professionals involved in their care. They learn Orwellian doublethink, a capacity to believe in two opposing points at the same time. They discover the skill of believing the reality their mind often presents them with, while at the same time fitting in with the actual reality reinforced by mental health workers."(....) "The scale of suffering of our mentally disordered is rarely investigated as a factor of the disconnections between who we are now and those who went before us." David Stokes has written a truly exceptional book, where I feel he says all the things we are not supposed to say - when working in publically funded social work at least. "Masquerade At The Crossroads of Good And Evil - Holism and Spirit Work in Mental Health and Addiction" is published this year, 2026, at Aeon Books. A much needed book!! This is a shorter interview, as the audio was really poor, but I have edited it so it is a lot better for you to listen to now. I'm hoping to meet David again for a follow up. But enjoy this shorter interview on what the Crossroads is, what the Masquerade is, and how to incorporate a holistic approach into social work, not by suggesting anything spiritual to clients, but by meeting their own aspirations.

| 5/21/26 | ![]() #153 - Jungian Analyst Erica Lorentz: Body as Shadow - Jungs Method of Embodied Healing | "In modern culture, our sensitivity to our embodied soul has largely retreated into the shadow. An individual may be an excellent athlete or a consummate dancer, for example, but that does not guarantee a healthy relationship with our sensual authority, emotions, or imagination. Indeed, to excel in these areas and achieve our goals of efficiency and precision, we need to focus acutely on breathing, muscles, bones, and rhythm. This creates false gods of perfectionism and achievement." (from page 44 of Body as Shadow, 2026) I am so glad to welcome teacher, lecturer, workshop facilitator, supervisor and Jungian Analyst Erica Lorentz to this chapter of TAP. Erica is the author of Body as Shadow - Jungs Method of Embodied Healing, that she just published after many years of conceiving it. Themes that come up include healing of trauma, where do you go during dissociation, trust the somatic unconscious, what does it mean if there is only darkness when you go into your imagination, and what the subtle body is, even though it cannot fully be expressed in words. Erica spontanously shares from this place in the book that magically enough already was more own favorite, both this quote but also other passages around this lunar consciousness: "As we use the radar of our own experience to feel what a client is emitting—sensing something in the field between us that has not yet flickered into focus—we must soften into it. This is a lunar consciousness (in alchemy, a "making of the silver"). Schwartz-Salant (1982) describes what it means to perceive this kind of awakening and sight: 'This shift of consciousness can be described as a movement from a "solar consciousness" that readily leads to interpretations, into a "lunar consciousness" that focuses upon images and imaginal perceptions. This shift involves an introverted act in which psychic energy—attention and consciousness—is surrendered to the unconscious and to a symbolic sense of oneness, the One Continuum.' (p. 140) Jung discovered this introverted act in psychic energy, which he called "indirect thinking" (1971), when he followed his soul into the underworld." Erica has practiced Authentic Movement for many years, and had the experience of healing a serious headache through - she shares how that happened, and we speak a whole lot on Jungian psychology, symbolic journeys, and how the whole embodied soul got pushed into the shadow, and for us to heal, we need to reconnect to it and go into the imaginal creative space. So all in all - I hope you will tap in with us - beforehand Erica had asked me to look astrologically at how the book will be received and so I interpret the Saturn aspects to her natal chart, which are many, to be a place of solid authority and a lasting impact and things becoming real now- Erica mentions the new beginning, and I totally agree that right now and the coming year is big initiation into being her own person, having her own sense of authority rather than having to rely on social expectations - I don't know obviously how anyone will receive her work, but from my own perspective this book was a joy to read, beautifully written and points to what we long for collectively...at least I do.

| 5/12/26 | ![]() #152 - Lauren Donelson - Beyond the Information - A Conversation Between Therapeutic Astrologers | To us, astrology feels completely natural. But for many, it still sits outside the system, also the system of psychology, even though the obviosly go well together. As Neptune is influencing Saturn in a critical way right now, the lines may begin to loosen. This is a conversation with Lauren Donelson, who is a psychotherapist, intuitive healer, and yes, an astrologer. We share the vision of directly usindg astrology in the healing work - so welcome to an echo chamber what we feel strongly about. TAP in with us as we explore rich themes together and Lauren Donelson brings up many important reflections: at one point she says, "they don't belong to the institutions, they are ours," speaking about gifts that are often treated as something you need certification to even have them. Here are just a few notes on what we speak about: -How completely obvious it is to use Parts Work/IFS and Astrology together - and examples of how that would look -Embodiment, containing, holding and connecting to medicine plants -Mercurial gifts, both the technical explanatory ones and the more artistic ones -Would you trust an IFS therapist who is not also a registered psychotherapist? -How awful it is that what we can go out and call ourselves titles that relies on what education we were able to buy, and not solely on qualifications -And about the registering...do you trust someone with a register more than you own intuition and if so, I wonder why we became that way... -Ancestral healing -Environmental destruction !!! and justice -Building relationship with the land -Being magic /in Self !!! -and how it is TIME TO LISTEN deeply because the earth is speaking Astrologically, we speak about the whole gamut of Saturn, Neptune and lots of Pisces glimmer in there too, since Lauren and I have that Sun sign in common, and also Uranus through Taurus, because, as I envy in Lauren, she's got a lot of Taurus energy for embodiment, gardening, connecting to animals and nature, and her music (that we even get a tiny piece of)- It WAS truly refreshing to be with another and very qualified therapeutic astrologer-I really do hope you enjoy it LINKS: youtube: https://youtu.be/DlBiR8GKTEA Find Lauren: https://www.laurendonelsontherapy.com/ instagram: https://www.instagram.com/embodied_healing find me: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/ | — | ||||||

| 3/2/26 | ![]() #139 - Maurice Fernandez on Past Lives, Karma & Evolutionary Necessity (p.1) | This is part 1 of a 2-part series with Maurice Fernandez, who once upon a time managed to educate me (Mannah) as an Evolutionary Astrology. Now what is that? Well, we identify the soul's evolutionary journey through the natal astrology chart and questions of the purpose of this life is in the forefront. In this first conversation we tap into the growth of consciousness that unfold over multiple lifetimes, and how one can truly find meaning, not by making it up, but by really discovering why we are here. I also get Maurice's take on neurodiversity as it is reflected in astrology. As I am stepping into my 40s, I bring you this mini-series with a great teacher of mine, who never ceases to inspire and open me up to realizations. I hope you enjoy it. PS: The audio is less than good on this one. I had taken all my recording gear to Sweden to meet Maurice, and it seems the recorder was too tired to turn on. I will do my best to ensure better audio in upcoming interviews.

| 2/20/26 | ![]() #138 - Brian James - The Cult and Myth of Trauma - Trust Your Soul's Response - Howl in the Wilderness | "Culture looks and acts a lot like a religious cult, and as writer and magician Alan Moore has said, every culture started out as a cult." (quote from Brian James, Traumadelic, 2024) In this conversation, my very Jupiterian guest says: EXPANSIVENESS IS THE KEY and he also says "sometimes we just loose our shit!" Listen to this thought-provoking conversation about the so-called myth of trauma. It is a longer episode, but I invite you to stick around, because we get into so important themes like what is is that attracts so many people to trauma work - and what you can do when you are caught by a belief. Brian James is a depth counselor, archetypal coach, and podcast host (see link below), and we share a love of yoga, interviews, depth psychology, and a mutual tendency to question overly simplistic views!! You could even say we "trauma bond" over our experiences in (leaving) therapy schools........a little into the conversation. Like I said -please stick around! For those who care to read this text, I will mention I mix up an important word, but I mean to talk about the parentalism, a term that contains an objection within it!!! The heart of that critique in parentalism and in this conversation is actually captured in a quote from James Hillman, quoted in Brian James' Traumadelic: "The more I believe my nature comes from my parents, the less open I am to the ruling influences around me. The less the surrounding world is felt to be intimately important to my story. Yet even biographies begin by locating the subject in a place; the self starts off amid the smells of a geography. We are ecological from day one." TAP in with us as we explore: - Brian's experience with a series of remembrances - Another way of understanding causality - Radical ambivalence - A critique of "small t" trauma - Experiences with Gabor Maté and other role models that are not always easy to engage with in a nuanced way - Being right or wrong is constructed ! Go beyond! - Are we truly responsible for all our actions? -What it means to be triggered, and how we understand it without trauma -The importance of finding your own path -A howl in the wilderness of modernity -The experience of being an outsider, while still longing for connection -The myth of trauma within the psychedelic world - The cliché of non-reactivity vs. responsiveness – and the risk of overriding one's instinct to be affected – Thinking in elements, because it is all archetypal -Attending to the soul - Understanding suffering and authentic reactions -Our animal nature -Ego defenses and reactions that upsets others -disillusionments of our time -It is an affront to nature and the soul when we can't challenge what we are to learn and speak up about what we feel -Still reactive? Thank God!! TO BE OF THIS EARTH !!! -in terms of astrology we mostly speak jupiter, and I mention a danish therapist, that is Ulla Rung Weeke and if you do understand danish, I recommend this interview with her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kz05yQCSBrE&t=380s I hope you enjoy it, I truly did, and I am not trying to sell anyone anything, but I did really feel like Brian would be such a safe space to be in depth therapy with.

| 2/17/26 | ![]() #137 - Tiffany Hopkins - Beyond - A Living Person's Guide To The Dead - Mediumship as a Healing Practice | If you are curious about mediumship, I really recommend this interview with medium, teacher and author Tiffany Hopkins. We talk about her book, "Beyond – A Living Person's Guide to the Dead" (2025), which I find to be an easy read, as well as very informative and mind-expanding. I would call Tiffany Hopkins a visionary in this area of mediumship, and I am so glad for this conversation with her. You are very welcome to tap in with us as Tiffany Hopkins shares about: -How she became a medium in a town of mediums -Tiffany worked in tech for 20 years, and it is not too far off from mediumship -Spiritualism, the Second Great Awakening, and Lily Dale -How mediumship and working with AI are similar -The need for discernment -Staying connected to different aspects of your being -The foundation of mediumship and why it changes us -The experience becoming real as it is shared -Creativity and mediumship—where you receive and express -The importance of therapeutic support and being validated -The countercultural component of mediumship -Will mediumship be culturally accepted? -Mediumship as inherently healing and care work -The therapeutic context -Now—what if not all the information is from spirit? Tiffany has a neuroscience background and offers her new two metaphors for what is happening in mediumship -Evidence for Spirit -Improvisation as we listen to both at the same time -Can you bring in information and integrate it? -The spiritual connection is not practical! -LONELINESS—and a potential loneliness renaissance -the social construct of this one romantic partner (I relate this comment then to the Pluto in Scorpio generation) -The Pluto in Scorpio generation is born from 5th of November 1983 to 10th of November 1995 (with retrograde returns during the period so be sure to check out your actual birth day) and we talk about the deep heartbreak that often comes in relationship because we are to grow so much, that we need the pain head first- for healing to occur the trauma need expositon/confrontation/that we dare deal with it.

| 2/6/26 | ![]() #135 - Iman Moeinian - René Guénon: Traditionalism, Metaphysics, and the Modern World | Today you will meet the best kind of influencer, Iman Moeinian, whose thoughtful YouTube channel brings depth to philosophical questions. Iman Moeinians core interest is in philosophy, metaphysics, especially traditional metaphysics. I invited him to speak with me about René Guénon and Traditionalism, because he did excellent talks on the topic. TAP in with us as we speak about what has been lost in the modern world, and how the timeless wisdom of the ancient traditions can still orient our lives, like when we choose to slow down. I wanted a real casual talk so we could meet in our shared humanity, and I believe it succeeded. The recorder was on from the beginning, and you are with us through everything! Here is a few notes about what we go through in our little more than an hour together: -How Guénon has a critique of modern individuality and truth as a personal affair -Guénons bio which is quite secretive -Intellectual intuition!! (the kind of intuition that today is dismissed as superstition) -The traditional view of art where art should surely delight but also point to higher truth and not only pleasure -Critique of modern psychology! Jung popular, but Iman argues Coomaraswamy is even more important -The question of the subconscious versus spiritual origin of healing -What is metaphysics ?? -We have several critiques actually such as modern writers sometimes borrow from older masters without reference -We have a great Ananda Coomaraswamy spotlight throughout! He was a philosopher, a major thinker, mastered many languages, he had a precise mathematical style, and not widely read, so he is one Iman is bringing to a wider audience these days. Of course, we also have fun looking at Iman's chart toward the end. We find astrological clues behind his precise craft, his ability to critique where it's needed, and his spirit of careful service for example by reading, editing, writing, and doing the hard work. Through his Uranus–Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius we see some social reform going strong in past incarnations, and with both planets retrograde, a current-life rethinking of the Aquarian progress and revolt. I truly recommend Iman Moeinian - you can find some of his work here: https://www.youtube.com/@imanmoeinian My web is: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/ Thank you so much for being with us!!

| 2/1/26 | ![]() #134 - Gary Lachman - Touched by the Presence - From Blondie's Bowery and Rock and Roll to Magic and the Occult | 2026 is a year when the wheel is turning in a big way, and I have the honor of speaking with Gary Lachman shortly after he's turned the big seventy; his own significant turn. Gary is a writer and musician, he was a major influence in mid-1970s as a founding member of the rock band Blondie Blondie and other bands. In the 1990s, he transitioned to full-time writing, producing influential works on mysticism and occultism. This intro is inspired by wikipedia but the book we speak about today is a much more accurate and detailed "presentation" - as we speak of his book that is a memoir of magic, rock and roll, and becoming who you are! It is called "Touched by the Presence: From Blondie's Bowery and Rock and Roll to Magic and the Occult" published november 2025 by Inner Traditions. In the publishers intro it says about Gary that he is a prolific author and lecturer on consciousness, counterculture, and the Western esoteric tradition. The big question about how we went from big music business to that of an esoteric writer, is what the book we speak about, will answer. And. Here we are in the beginning of 2026 talking in way about the forces than can be controlled and those which cannot. At least these my after-reflections. Here are some clues about what you will be tapping into with this wonderful interview with Gary Lachman: -The true self beneath layers of sleep, social conditioning, and optimization -why Gary wrote this memoir differently than his other books: not commissioned, no plan, written during a difficult period as a way to assert and protect his sense of self -a key turning point in 1975: discovering Colin Wilson's The Occult while living on the Bowery and playing with Blondie, and how that book became the doorway into consciousness studies and the esoteric -R.D. Laing and "the sane response to an insane world": family double-binds and gaslighting -the "false world" theme through existentialism and Gnosticism: gnosis as direct felt knowledge, the demiurge idea, and modern parallels like post-truth -"You're poking your finger through this paper wall… it was just scenery, but you had accepted it as reality, and suddenly you realized you could do that" -You might know the name that's on your passport, but who is that person? -the explanation on Gurdjieff's core teaching that is about waking up from "sleep" or mechanical living: -The purpose of the Work (also called the Fourth Way) was to break habitual, unconscious patterns that keep people functioning automatically and Gary personally tried this discipline, and also Aleister Crowleys. -systems of esoteric psychological development -many people (including himself) first encounter the Work through Ouspensky's writing, not through Gurdjieff directly -books like "A New Model of the Universe "opened entire fields for him: the idea of an esoteric current running through history -Gary is honest about having gone through a hard time when writing this book and as a related theme I ask him to pull up a poem he write when teenager, that I (Mannah) relate to personally. I was surprised he had it in his memory, and could recite it so well - look forward to that part of the interview!!! At least if you also know that feeling of "what is there to tell"... The poem is dark and romantic, dealing with death, defeat, and resignation, not necessarily a literal wish to die, but a youthful fascination with world-weariness, sorrow, and the idea of giving up. -choosing to transcend by writing, by working, by staying alive and engaged You also get the story of the title of the book "touched by presence" and here is a recommendation from Gary, a short (and super cool!!!) film his son made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=919SNRJtMRc thank you all for listening, and i hope you're settling into the new year..and into your own power; as you will have noticed, the wheel is already on the move. -Mannah LINKS the book we speak about: https://www.innertraditions.com/touched-by-the-presence https://garylachman.co.uk/ https://www.gary-lachman.com/ Video version of this podcast: https://youtu.be/Mt1vmWzkuT4 More Mannah: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/ | — | ||||||
| 1/23/26 | ![]() #133 - David Leskowitz - Sideways from Saturn - Astrological Guidance From The Centaurs | "A mystic directly experiences the flowing waters of inspiration in moments that seem to transcend space and time. Yet these, the coordinates of astrology, can still help us describe such events. Astrologers may seek out patterns that trace our treasured mystics' meetings with the muses of their ecstasies. If we succeed, their biographies may gain a brilliant new dimension, revealing some of the cosmic architecture through which spirituality flows." Quote from beginning of a chapter by David Leskowitz from the book we focus on today BY THE NAME: "Sideways from Saturn, Astrological Guidance from the Centaurs" It has just been published here in january 2026 - a long awaited book about the astrological meaning of Centaurs. Centaur refers to a distinct class of planetoid between asteroids and TNO/KBO*. There are so many of them and this episode is meant to inspire you to -rather than give up in overwhelm- to develop a personal and direct relationship to- well some of them! I recommend the book and no one pays me to do that, I just truly love a book that is both inspiring in message and in its form- and also I think it is really needed as someone like myself who has only been in depth familiar with that one Centaur Chiron - here we get a lot deeper into the Centaur family and paradigm. Welcome to this episode and now this text written fully by a human, me, Mannah, I write these for every episode, so that you may get some overview of what it is I invite you to tap into with me. It would be easier and more well written if I took the transcript from zoom or asked chatgpt to mix something up, but then again, what would I use my long lonely nights for, if not writing these show notes. I appreciate you reading and caring for the personal touch! MY GUEST TODAY: David Leskowitz who edited and put the book together is an astrologer, healer, and writer with a BA in religious studies and a decade-long engagement with the Centaurs. He has written for The Mountain Astrologer, The Career Astrologer, and Astro.com, and is the cat-herder of Praesepe Press. (you will learn in the end what it means being a herder of brillant cats) Tap in with us as we speak about: -The Centaur Era -Personal Encounters with the Centaurs -Wisdom from outside of society -Centaur-personalities and subcultures and Centaur-astrologers -Bask in the observations and the messages they bring to us -The differences between the Planets and the Centaurs -Forming personal relationships with Centaurs -Look to your Centaur transits! -Healing with the Centaurs -We talk about several but speak mostly of Chiron and Asbolus -The being behind the symbol -Becoming a conduit -The re-emergence of the relational need in astrology -Observe without agenda -Therapeutic Astrology as a Chironic Art (to this, let me add that in one of the chapters in "sideways from Saturn" Melanie reinhart says about the terrain to which the Centaurs guide us, that it is traume-informed both trauma on a personal, but also ancestral, cultural, and historical level.) -What is the perfect blend of astrology and healing? -Many inroads to making meaning -David recommends the important contributions of Philip Sedgwicks work and the late Nick Anthony Fiorenza -Centaurs unusual rhythm and how it gives a certain weight to a moment -The experience of an archetype in ones life -Beyond the Myths for example beyond the WOUND in the WOUNDED Healer -Asbolus and the myth of Ixion -Hybridity -Case studies of James Leininger -My reading with David 6 years ago -Ceremonies of healing with the Centaurs -A glance at David's own chart Thank you for being with us!!
