Logic & Magic: Finding Harmony in Opposition

The Tarot Diagnosis

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I tackle a topic I think many of you have pondered yourselves. How do we find harmony while we’re rooted in logic, but long for magic?

A Symposium member reached out to me recently and posed an insightful question. I had already planned on doing some work with The Hanged Man this week, and I felt her question paired so well with that anchor.

I begin the episode by exploring the concept of logic and magic through the lens of The Hanged Man. Then The Hierophant, Hermit, and Ace of Cups all make their presence known. I spend quite a bit of time talking about Dialectical Behavior Therapy and dialectical thought and how that seems to be the most appropriate avenue for finding harmony in opposition.

The question asked is below:

“Hello! I have a question and I think it is a difficult one, but I do not know who I can talk with. In general there are two sides inside of me. I believe in logic. I understand how Tarot cards and horoscopes are working from the psychological side. I know deeply why I am using them and how it helps.

But there is also another side of me who is really interested in all the spiritual things. About mystery and energy flow. And it is more about chaos theory and that everything has meaning. And this part makes me believe in all "magic" things.

So my question - how do you manage these two sides and have a clear mind for decisions?”

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this!
