What if the project that fails is actually the one preparing you to finish?
Dr. Sandra Dreisbach, host of Inner Source and a philosopher trained in ethics and moral psychology, sits down with herself this week for a solo episode that doubles as a reveal. After a Kickstarter that didn't succeed, years of quiet work with artist Brandon Singletary, and a companion book, Dancing at the Edge of Darkness, that reached readers before the cards ever did, the Thyrsus Oracle Deck is finally in her hands. What does it take to bring a spiritual project into the world when the timeline refuses to cooperate? What happens when the parts of yourself you've kept separate, the ethicist and the mystic, the academic and the intuitive, finally have to share a stage?
In this episode, Dr. Sandra walks through the story behind the deck: the symbolism of the thyrsus itself as a stand-in for the pineal gland and the awakening of consciousness, the deliberate choice to keep every figure ungendered so the cards speak to shadow and self rather than to gender, and the decolonization work running underneath all of it, from her training with Peruvian curanderos to her reconnection with Celtic ancestry. She talks about turning 53, about being consciously single, about the discomfort of being taken seriously as an ethicist while hiding the parts of her that talk to rocks and speak with the dead. And she pulls a card, live, to show you what the practice actually looks like.
If you have ever built something that didn't land the way you hoped, or hidden a part of yourself because it was easier to be believed without it, this episode is worth your full attention.
