Lastly, itâs undeniable that Zeus has a long history of assaulting and mistreating women. Everyone has their beliefs on the matter and I think it is entirely possible to worship/work with a god while fully acknowledging the messy past. Furthermore, as I dive deeper into the history surrounding the myths I gain a better understanding of the factors surrounding Zeusâs philandering, like the synchronization of Gods and Goddesses across religions and how Zeus likely assimilated past male deities and the people of the time created the stories of his many affairs to explain this merging.
Thereâs no way to justify the raping by our human standards. That being said, I donât think itâs cause to completely shut Him out. He is the King of the Gods, the Bringer of Life! Surely that is something to celebrate.Â
With all that, some final acts that support women:
Believing victims
Donating/volunteering at women's shelters
Learning the signs of domestic abuse
Learning and acknowledging red flags in a partner
Talking to friends about any major red flags youâre concerned about with their partner
Advocating for womenâs rightsÂ
Learning about domestic abuse/rape/abortion services in your area
Hoping this is helpful to someone! I see very few posts for Zeus on here.

THE TYPES AND THE COURT CARDS (III)
There really is one correct way of matching the 16 MBTI types with the 16 court cards of the tarot: itâs the one I found online some years ago and then built upon here, with posts like #01, #16 and #78. I donât think itâs a question of opinion. But of course, itâs very difficult for people to reach that conclusion because the misconceptions and false stereotypes are everywhere, and noboby knows what/how most of the types actually are (the cards are not exempt from that, either).
Assuming you understand what the real psychological types are (not the characters that many people insist on playing), then you also have to get what is it that the court cards are trying to reflect. Like the true foundation of MBTI, itâs about the mind of the person (not about predictions). So when you read card descriptions itâs very important to remember that sometimes (especially in the Queens and Pages, that is: the introverts) certain keywords are better interpreted as referring to the internal side of the person, to how [s]he approaches and moves in the invisible realm, what [s]he does inside, with intangible places and elements, rather than in the physical world.
If you get all that (more or less) youâll see how both sets point at the same 16 archetypes. Itâs quite amazing, but I really think thatâs what happened. In fact, you can make some really good general profiles of the MBTI types using [parts of] the descriptions of their corresponding court cards. People have requested something like this before, so what Iâve done here is combine several of those to get a broad perspective of each type, and show how well the correlation works.
Titles aside, all the normal text in the following sections has been taken from external sources related to the tarot and (as far as I know) unrelated to the MBTI. Specifically, those in the second section are, in order: 1) The Encyclopedia Of Tarot, by Stuart R. Kaplan; 2) Understanding The Tarot Court, by Mary K. Greer and Tom Little (of 16x3=48 correlations in the book only 7 are correct: 1 INTP, 2 ENFP, 2 ISTJ and 2 ESFJ); 3) Tarot Teachings; 4) The Simple Tarot; and 5) Biddy Tarot. The images are from Eleanor Groschâs Everyday Tarot.
The idea is that you read and compare what those sources say with what Iâve been posting in the blog, for example in the tables (especially this one), the lists, the typings, etc. Try also Jungâs book, and notice the coincidences.
Youâll find a few discrepancies as well, yes. An example would be that certain characteristic sides of the types are missing from the common card descriptions, which tend to be a bit too simplistic and repetitive. Some of the most glaring are the jocular nature of many ESTPs, the conceptual and philosophical focus of some ISTJs, and the introspective and contemplative disposition of INFPs. The last one is probably due to a combination of classic ignorance about that type and what I mentioned earlier: people donât seem to be aware of the fact that Pages focus inwardly, just like the Queens. Itâs obviously the Knights who are âoutgoingâ, âenthusiasticâ and âdaringâ. You just canât apply the same adjectives to the Children (and if you do, you mean something very different).
So yeah. Some things fit better than others, of course, and there isnât much room for type-stages either, but I think itâs clear that the right correspondence is this one.

Hi! Weird ask: but do you have any podcast recs where the voices are mainly British ? (Including Irish and Scottish). I know itâs silly but I like to have podcasts on in the background and I find American voices too distracting. I really like wooden overcoats , Magnus archives and the beef and dairy network. Thanks đ
I do! Here's 20 podcasts from around the UK and Ireland that I've quite enjoyed:
The Amelia Project: Comedy. The Amelia Project is a secret organisation, highly specialised in faking people's deaths! A new client each episode, with their own wacky backstories, followed by the client and interviewer planning how to fake the death. Very funny and never a dull moment.
The Antique Shop: Urban Fantasy. Maya, a university student in desperate need of work, finds a part-time job at an old antique shop, under the eye of the enigmatic Madam Norna, and surrounded with items far from mundane. A new customer every episode, and a new item each time, every one as strange and interesting as the last.
I Am In Eskew: Horror. Tales from a man living in something which desperately wants to be a city, and from an investigator who was, in her words, hired to kill a ghost. Told with gentle voices and unending rain. Some of the most creative horror I've encountered, and I really enjoy the writing style too.
The Lost Cat Podcast: Horror (Cosmic, Soft), Weird Fiction(?). A man loses parts of himself, befriends strange entities, and drinks an awful lot of wine as he searches for his missing cat. Fun horror which values kindness and connection, with great writing which has always stuck with me but is also just the right amount of clichĂŠ to be very satisfying in the moment.
Lost Terminal: Sci-fi, Hopepunk. Gentle podcast about a lonely AI living in a space station as he contemplates life, learns more about the world around him, and makes friends. Really charming, great music, takes a respectful look into mental health (including anxiety, depression, ocd, did, loneliness) and talks about all kinds of fun topics like radio, D&D, orbital mechanics, and plants. Big favourite of mine.
Maps of the Lost: Supernatural, New Weird(?), Urban Fantasy, Light Horror. A guidebook style podcast to the strange happenings, people, places, and creatures around the UK. A few of these per episode in an almost mirofiction format, all really fun and creative, and read in a wonderfully soothing voice.
Middle:Below: Supernatural, Mystery, Adventure, (Horror?). Ghost adventures! Humans Taylor and Heather, Gil the Ghost, and occasionally Sans the Cat travel to the Below, the land of ghosts, to solve mysteries and to help or contain the spirits that live there. This one makes me feel a bit like a kid again, it's very fun and has really crisp audio.
Modem Prometheus: Urban Fantasy, (Horror?). From the same team as Lost Terminal, this is a newer podcast featuring 'modern folktales', stories which feel like myths but are set in the city in the modern day. Each one tells it's own story, but in a shared world established by subtle consistant elements. Good audio, music, writing, and I like the narrator's voice.
Monstrous Agonies: Supernatural. "Agony Aunt" radio show (where listeners can write in with their problems and receive advice), but for the supernatural in a modern world where humans, former humans, and people who were never human, live together. Featuring one of the most soothing voices in audio drama, really well written, supportive, full of fantastic advice, and very queer. Another big favourite of mine.
Murray Mysteries: Comedy, Supernatural. A queer, comedic, modern, and delightfully faithful adaptation of Dracula. Taking the form of Mina's podcast, I really enjoy how it's subtley altered the characters to fit a modern setting.
Neighbourly: Horror, (Weird Fiction?). Welcome to Little Street, where behind each door lives one or more residents with their own strange lives and curious secrets. Narrator has a great voice and you can never be quite sure what flavour of strangeness you'll be in for.
The Orphans: Sci-Fi, Thriller, (Horror?): While I could spoil this podcast and it'd still be great, I'm not going to. I will say it's a very well made, far future sci-fi featuring AI, unethical science, quality worldbuilding, heart-crushing tragedies, and a dash of political intrigue.
The Petrol Station: Horror. A short podcast featuring stories of the weird encounters of a petrol station attendant living in an isolated British village. If you enjoyed TMA, you'll probably like this a lot as well, it's very well written and I have all my fingers crossed for new episodes.
The Secret of St Kilda: Mystery? Thriller-ish? Unsure. Brand new podcast about a former conman who moves to the mysterious island of St Kilda, fleeing his past and into the arms of the strange island cult, who both think they need him, and distrust him.
Spirit Box Radio: Supernatural, Mystery. After famous and powerful radio psychic Madam Marie goes missing, her assistant takes over in her place. The only problem is, he's never had much talent for the arcane.
Tartarus: Horror, Sci-Fi. An astrobiologist gets a job at a research facility in Antarctica which isn't quite what she'd expected. Along with the tearse station manager, and facility AI, she finds herself now responsible for protecting humanity from the monsters contained within. Really new but full of promise, looking forward to seeing where it goes.
The Tower: New Weird? Magical Realism? Idk. Short, meditative podcast about a young woman who decides to climb a seemingly endless tower. Modern setting with it's own delightful ancient lore. Fantastic music, quality soundwork, strange, reflective and enchanting. By the same folks as Middle:Below (Above).
VAST Horizon: Sci-Fi (space), Horror, Thriller(?). An agronomist tasked with kickstarting agriculture on a new world wakes on the ship before they arrive, to discover something has gone horribly wrong. The ship is adrift, nobody but the malfuctioning AI to be seen, and the ship riddled with issues, she must do her best to save the ship and herself, and work out what happened. Stellar piece of audio by Fool & Scholar, who also do arctic horror podcast The White Vault, which has an a very international cast and also highly recommended.
Victoriocity: Mystery, Adventure, Steampunk, Comedy. In an alternate steampunk 1887 London, an inspector and a journalist team up to solve a bizzare mystery, possibly even a conspiracy. Full cast, great sound design, full of wacky characters.
We Fix Space Junk: Sci-fi, Comedy, Adventure. An interstellar repairwoman, her AI best friend, and their brand new fugitive socialite assistant travel the stars to complete various tasks at the behest of the evil monolith of a company they are in debt to. A new job every episode, full cast, crisp audio and sound design.
I hope you can find one here which appeals to you!

Superman: Red & Blue #5 - âDe-Escalationâ (2021)
written by G. Willow Wilson art by Valentine De Landro
Sometimes people in my life ask why I do research on Fox News and occasionally watch Ben Shapiro and peek at conservative sides of the internet. And honestly itâs because I want to know where people are coming from.
Iâm no psychologist but Iâm of the opinion that a lot of conservative ideology has to do with comfort and convenience.
A lot of conservatives are raised in authoritarian households, regardless of their parentsâ religious upbringing. But a lot of them also belong to religious groups or cults that encourage a âBecause I said soâ attitude towards rules.
A lot of this stuff is very convenient for people in power. Itâs the same reason some people beat and shame their children. Explaining why things are the way they are and why certain things have to happen is hard. Smacking a child into submission and training them to never ask questions is easy.
So you get generations and generations of people trained to never question authority for the convenience of people in authority. And the majority of them are able bodied white cishet people, so the system doesnât actively beat them down in any way that they can see from day to day. So why would they question it?
But then some people that they view as outsiders question the system. And youâre not supposed to question the system. Youâre supposed to not touch the cookie jar because daddy said so.
If you donât accept authority you must be bad. Because thatâs how they were raised. And so far that authority hasnât hurt them as far as they know. So it must be right.
For all of them the authority they arenât supposed to question is different. It might be their religion, their morals, the political beliefs that their father raised them up in. It might be the government or a cult or a certain famous person that they like.
And questioning whatever that authority is, is just as hard as being a responsible authority figure. If you want to know for yourself why you shouldnât eat a cookie before dinner, you need to think through dadâs logic on that. And you might find that you disagree with him. And heâs in charge, so should you question more things now? Thatâs a scary thought to have.
I was raised in a liberal/socialist household. From a young age I was encouraged to ask questions. My parents explained to me why they asked me to do things. My punishments were mild and few and were explained to me in detail before they occurred. After a while I could see what my parentsâ rationale was behind things and when I was asked to do things I obeyed not just because I was told to but because I understood why I was being asked.
Conservatives like Ben Shapiro claim that âfacts donât care about your feelingsâ while lying and cherry-picking and doing backflips to support ideas theyâve been holding onto for their whole lives. Because their politics are supposed to be this. Real republicans do this or that. Real Jews or Christians or atheists or any other religion do this or that. Itâs a way of thinking that doesnât allow new ideas to come in.
Itâs the facts because I said so.
And I canât imagine thinking like that. But they canât imagine thinking like me either.
