Episode 14: Bethe Wettlaufer (Gemini)
Sarah’s off eating lobster rolls on Cape Cod, so it’s just Hannah and Meredith for Episode 14. Hannah brings the lesser known story of Bethe Wettlaufer, a canonical sadistic angel of death. This is a relatively recent case so Hannah finally gets to say that the perpetrator googled something! We also discuss the issues that are running rampant in nursing homes and affecting the vulnerable elderly population. We don’t really know what an individual person can do to help, but hug your grandparents if you have them.
Hannah also came ready to teach, so we learn about what the position of Lilith means in your natal chart as well as the influence of Chiron. In mythology, Lilith was Adam’s first wife in the Garden of Eden, but she was kicked out because she refused to lie beneath him and wanted to be considered his equal. She does end up going on a bit of a baby-killing spree, so the position of Lilith in your chart indicates what lies in your darker side.
In Ass news, we learn about Chiron going retrograde in Aries from July 15 to December 19. In Greek mythology, Chiron is the wounded healer so the position of Chiron can help you identify and overcome past traumas. Chiron is in Aries, which is a bold, action-orientated sign, so the universe is strongly hinting that now is a good time to work on healing. #therapy Healing from emotional wounds can be daunting, so be sure to prioritize self-care during this process.
Food Pairing: We have the elderly population on our mind after this episode. Due to COVID, we are wary of visiting a long term care home, so consider making a donation to Meals on Wheels or a similar charity that looks out for our elderly.
