Jonah Emerson-Bell
Styx & Stars: Water in Nature, Soul and Cosmos
This talk explores the element of water through three interconnected lenses: ecological, psychological, and astrological.
We begin in the physical realm, examining water's natural properties and its vital role within ecological systems. By tracing its movement through the water cycle, we gain insight into how water flows and functions in nature.
From there, we follow the river inward—into the depths of the unconscious. Drawing on Jung’s concept of the feeling function, alchemical symbolism, and the mythic rivers of the underworld, to understand water’s role in memory, emotion, and transformation within the unconscious.
Finally, we ascend to the celestial sphere to consider how the element of water appears in the astrological chart. We consider how water functions through the cardinal, fixed, and mutable signs and how these various expressions shape our inner experience and interpersonal dynamics.
Integrating insights from each stage of our journey, we explore magical and ritual applications to cultivate a more conscious and skillful relationship with the element of water in everyday life.
