In the Cauldron with Olivia Pepper and Star Poetry - a podcast by Kathryn Fink

This season’s guest at the cauldron, Olivia Pepper, tenderly directs our gaze simultaneously upward and inward—to connect with the stars but also our own inner tides, and the liminal places where these intersect and communicate through the poetry of our lives.

Whether you’re someone who looks to astrology as an old friend on your journey, or you’re like me and have a curiosity but no real working knowledge of the stars, I hope this conversation will offer unexpected invitations as we reflect on both personal and collective destinies.|| 0:00 || Intro
