Jonathan Pageau - Ancient Symbolism in Pop Music
Nymphs, Sirens, Hermaphrodites, The Devil & Rock n' Roll
Kanye West, Madonna, Sam Smith and Harry Styles, these megastars of pop music are household names, their music pulses through stereos and headphones across the world. But do these modern icons represent something deeper?
Winston speaks with Jonathan Pageau, expert in ancient symbolism, one of the most influential men in Christian Orthodoxy and one of “The Three Orthodoxmen Of The Apocalypse”. Jonathan explains the deep archetypes belying pop music and rock n’ roll over the last 100 years.
From Johnny Cash’s Heroes Journey to the androgynous Prince, Bowie and Bjork. It turns out there are deep archetypal characters belying the lights and the makeup.
And of course, all usual podcast outlets.

Absolutely loved this conversation! Had never thought about our culture as a carnival before…or androgyny as chaos…so wild!
Wonderful to come across Jonathan in your podcast Winston! Will save for later listening and share it with my readers :)
