Jupiter Optimus Maximus—the supreme deity of the Roman pantheon, revered as the embodiment of power, wisdom, and cosmic order.
Join me on this 2-hour walk into the epic tale of Jupiter. We will visit astronomical marvels, admire the mythological grandeur, learn the philosophical principles, plunge into the psychological depth, understand astrological power, and unveil alchemical secrets.
The Great Red Spot, a storm dwarfing Earth, swirling above Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io and icy Europa, part of the famous Galilean moons, presents a paradox. Therefore, we must zoom back to mythology, where Jupiter reigns as Zeus, throwing thunderbolts, Marduk and Thor striking his mighty hammer.
Philosophers like Plato and Plotinus will also come, interpreting Jupiter as a symbol of justice and the Intellectual Principle. Carl Jung reveals its role in the collective unconscious as the Wise Old Man archetype. Astrology. Jupiter is the greater benefic ruling Sagittarius and Pisces in Ptolemeic wisdom. And in alchemy? It’s tied to tin and transformation, and the sources are none other than Isaac Newton and Paracelsus.
With a seducing ElevenLabs voice (link below), the Gregorian Chant of @incompetech_kmac (CC BY 3.0), and stunning historical art, this is ultimately a universal experience of Jupiter, although multiple libraries can be filled with all books referencing Jupiter or its other faces.
