Britten LaRueHOST
And the first post I ever did as Britten LaRue, the astrologer in Instagram, you can scroll down to the bottom of my feed.
Britten LaRueHOST
I talk about the katabatic journey and what katabasis means.
Britten LaRueHOST
So this has been so essential to my whole approach in my career all along.
Britten LaRueHOST
And for me, emergence astrology is underworld astrology.
SamHOST
it's so good whoever storyboarded that did a great job because that's such a good shot and then i just wrote katabasis baby
RinHOST
We are all up in the catapussy in these episodes.
RinHOST
Yeah, no, I mean, this is absolutely Anakin's Katabasis arc.
RinHOST
This whole arc is absolutely a hole somewhere between Katabasis and a journey to Mount Olympus itself.
RinHOST
Other pieces from this confrontation with the sun...
RinHOST
when anakin like sort of agrees to follow the sun he says will we bring peace and the sun goes of course and hands anakin his weapon almost the same type of shot as in jedi crash Where we zoomed in on Isla Secura's lightsaber.
Sallie ChedburnHOST
There's a few bits which are annoying me, but I'm all right with it.
Sallie ChedburnHOST
Catabasis.
Sallie ChedburnHOST
So I listened to a good hour and a half of it last night on the way back.
Sallie ChedburnHOST
I think I've realized what RF Kuang does and what annoyed me with Babel probably.
Rebecca SchinskyHOST
Mona's Eyes, The Artist and the Feast.
Rebecca SchinskyHOST
Catabasis, King of Ashes, Samin Nosrat's cookbook, Mother Mary Comes to Me, a puzzle book that we had kind of looked at a little bit of that might be a good gift.
Rebecca SchinskyHOST
Was that the New York Times puzzle book? Yes, it was the big New York Times puzzle
Jeff O'NealHOST
mania.
SammyHOST
No. Oh, the other book I've never finished is right back here behind me.
SammyHOST
Catabasis.
MaddieHOST
Oh, I never finished that one either.
MaddieHOST
It was so boring.
Claire NicholsHOST
And maybe that's the lane where we thought Rebecca would stay.
Claire NicholsHOST
But then, last year she returned to fantasy with Catabasis.
Claire NicholsHOST
That was a novel about university magic students taking a trip to hell.
Claire NicholsHOST
And now, only a year after that book, Rebecca Kwong has made another pivot.
Mattea RoachHOST
I know for a lot of writers who are promoting a book that they've recently finished while they're editing the next one or jumping to other things that they do outside of their writing life, you can kind of be in this state of always shifting your mindset to different narrative worlds.
Mattea RoachHOST
Last year we were talking about something very different with Catabasis.
Mattea RoachHOST
What was it like for you to go from writing and thinking about hell to thinking about Taipei? LAUGHTER
R.F. KuangGUEST
Actually, not too difficult because when I was writing about catavasis, I was having a mental breakdown over the stress of my PhD program and dealing with my husband's chronic illness together with him.
JennyHOST
I am following a 19-year-old woman in Taipei just having an okay summer immersive Chinese language experience.
JennyHOST
Well, I guess that's better than like when you were traumatized by catabasis, right? Catabasis at least had a quest.
JennyHOST
And it kept going.
JennyHOST
And I knew which circle of hell we're in.
Christopher W. LittleHOST
It was a beautiful, necessary fracture.
Christopher W. LittleHOST
Without her descent into the shadows, the material universe would not possess the spark of the divine.
Christopher W. LittleHOST
Without her wandering, true experiential wisdom could never be earned.
Christopher W. LittleHOST
She had to experience the darkness to truly comprehend the light.
19 MINS LATER
Christopher W. LittleHOST
You are ready to return to the Pleroma, the state of absolute fullness, neural coherence and divine harmony.
Christopher W. LittleHOST
Look up at the stars above the clearing.
Christopher W. LittleHOST
A column of iridescent shimmering light descends from the heavens, bathing you in a warm Lifting magnetic energy.
Christopher W. LittleHOST
This is the Logos.
HannahHOST
okay and then question number
ParisHOST
two I wrote it down and I was like yep we're doing this yeah I think I have maybe it was after Katabasis or some other horrible book that I hated and I was looking for books that were scoring high stars I didn't want to read a shit book I just wanted something that was going to be good and nuanced.
HannahHOST
Yeah.
HannahHOST
