The Magician and "The Self" with Shannon Knight of The Tarot Diagnosis

Today we're sharing a conversation that originally took place on The Tarot Diagnosis podcast. In it, Nick and Shannon discuss The Magician, and use this iconic card to investigate and trouble the notion of "Self" as it appears in Western ontology. Shannon Knight (she/her) is a queer therapist licensed in both Arizona and Florida where she specializes in working with individuals and couples. Shannon received her B.A. in Applied Clinical Psychology from the Florida Institute of Technology and her M.S. in Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. Shannon currently resides in Arizona and when she needs to escape the heat, she’s traveling to find mountains and cooler weather with her partner and her dog Barley. She feels highly aligned with the Queen of Swords and is constantly trying to deconstruct her perceptions of Temperance and The Sun.
