⁣As above, So below...⠀ The phrase originates from the Hermetic tradition of philosophy, which dates thousands of years ago. It describes the correspondent relationship between the individual and the universe.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ The word macrocosm comes from Greek “macros kosmos”, the great world - the universe as a whole. Microcosm also comes from the Greek “mikros kosmos”, the small world - the human being, understood as a miniature universe.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ The gesture is also seen in the Baphomet statue from Netflix’ Adventure of Sabrina, which BTW is influenced by the Satanic Temple.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ As above, so below also reminds me of the differentiation term, which the institute has taught me, since it has to do with our ability to balance our dualistic needs of both intimacy and autonomy.⠀ ⠀ #tarot #psychotherapy #differentiation #asabovesobelow
