Terra Mortis: The Death of the Earth

A Jungian and Indigenous View
Part II: All the Rough Beasts
by Michael Owen

The collective cannot think beyond the “threat to human civilisation” and its pathological optimism maintains our ecological coma. But thinking the unthinkable inhabits it with human consciousness. We've run out of planet–1.7 planet’s worth. Her waters can no longer dream. Monotheism has abandoned the earth for heavenly rewards. Terra Mortis: Part II continues Michael Owen's exploration of the mortality of our planetary home. All with the help of C G Jung and indigenous consciousness.

Terra Mortis: Is the Earth Dying?

A Jungian and Indigenous View
Part I: A Few Rough Beasts
by Michael Owen

We’ve run out of planet. The trees have nearly given up. The animals have done what they can. 9/11, the GFC and Covid have tried their best to warn us. Monotheism has abandoned the earth for heavenly rewards. Indigenous peoples are now only 5% of the world’s population. Fifty percent of the world’s population lives in cities. And our relationship with beauty has been lost.

To think the unthinkable allows what does not have a home to find a home. Then it will not appear in matter the same way as it might have done. Perhaps.

The Maya Book of Life

Understanding the Xultun Tarot
by Michael Owen

The Maya Book of Life is the companion book to the Xultun Tarot. It explores the archetypes and alchemy of the major arcana (only) through indigenous teachings and the analytical psychology of C G Jung.

“Brilliant, eye-opening.” —Arthur Rosengarten, PhD, Tarot and Psychology
“A profound book of wisdom.”—Mary K Greer, 21 Ways to Read a Tarot Card

*Please note: This book refers to the MAJOR ARCANA ONLY. The alchemy of the complete Xultun Tarot is unique and majors and minors cannot be adequately dealt with in a single volume. The Xultun minor arcana have a unique relationship, found in no other tarot deck, to the major arcana, and they contain further teachings. However, until that book is written the standard meanings of the minor arcana can be sourced from the many books on the Western tarot.

Xultun Tarot

by Peter Balin and Michael Owen

The Xultun Tarot was created by New Zealander Peter Balin in 1976 based on images from Maya history and culture. It was the first of the non-European or indigenous tarot decks. It is the only tarot deck where the major arcana form a complete picture. This picture is a symbolic image of the alchemical marriage of spirit and matter and a map of what C G Jung called the individuation process.

See our companion site xultun.com for the full story of how the cards came to be.

The new edition of the Xultun Tarot is cause for celebration.
—Rachel Pollack, author of Tarot Wisdom

In Peter Balin’s single painting of the twenty-two Major Arcana of the Tarot, we have a multi-textured tapestry that depicts the Self.... its myths and symbols that can take your personal work with any tarot deck to a new level.
—Mary K Greer, author of 21 Ways to Read a Tarot Card

This Classic Edition is authorised by Peter Balin, the creator of the Xultun Tarot, and is printed in New Zealand to the colour and size specifications of the original 1976 deck.

The 27 Club: Why Age 27 Is Important

by Michael Owen

IS THE 27 CLUB JUST A MYTH? (No). Is it a “curse?” (No). But The 27 Club is not what you think. It’s more than the deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse and others. Using indigenous teachings about our life stages and the analytical psychology of C G Jung, Michael Owen explains what happens to all of us in our mid- to late-twenties and how life often takes a turn, for better or worse.

Jung and the Moon Cycles:
Rhythms of Influence

by Michael Owen

Jung and the Moon Cycles describes the life of C. G. Jung as as laid out on the Moon Cycles, an indigenous teaching about the archetypal and developmental influences that affect us at different times in our lives.

We see how the rhythm of Jung's life coincided with the great events of the 20th century. This book offers new insights into Jung's life and death, and provides a fascinating perspective on some of Jung's more important dreams. It also unexpectedly casts new light on Jung's fateful associations with Freud and Picasso and the controversial areas of his life, particularly his relationships with women and his supposed anti-Semitism. Michael Owen also shows how readers will be able to place the events of their own lives on the Moon Cycles of the Native American Medicine Wheel, gaining a new perspective into the births and deaths in their life (inner and outer). They will see what learning periods are ahead of them, and understand the critical importance of the nine-month, three-year, and twenty-seven year cycles.
