Join Tasha Simms and Marc Caron as they speak with author, Philippe Sibaud, about his latest book “Scavengers of Beauty”. In this unconventional work, Philippe Sibaud explores the symbolism behind the 1969 landing on the Moon. More than fifty years after this seminal event, and whilst the Moon is attracting renewed interest, the author offers a bold new interpretation of the iconic Apollo mission.
“The picture of Earth in space taken by Apollo 8 was a turning point in the environmental movement. The real message of the mission is Earth. ‘Know the place for the first time’” (T.S Eliot).
Why was the mission to the Moon named after the God of the Sun, and not after a Moon Goddess or God?
In this unconventional work, Philippe Sibaud explores the symbolism behind the 1969 landing on the Moon. More than fifty years after this seminal event, and whilst the Moon is attracting renewed interest, the author offers a bold new interpretation of the iconic Apollo mission.
Was the Apollo landing the ultimate triumph of solar consciousness over the ancient lunar ways, a concrete enactment of the god Apollo mythically slaying the mother dragon at Delphi, or can the whole venture be seen as the sacred union of Sun and Moon, birthing a new vision at a time of great need?
By weaving his own personal story with a greater cultural and symbolic narrative, Philippe Sibaud invites us to reflect on the importance of myths and the power of the Imagination to unlock the deeper meaning of our individual and collective experiences.
You will never look at the Moon with the same eyes again
Join us as we discuss:
Why was the mission to the Moon named after the God the Sun and not after a Moon Goddess?
Sun and Moon symbolism: lunar consciousness vs solar consciousness
The landing on the Moon may be seen to symbolise the triumph of Apollonian consciousness: rationality, science, technology.
The symbolism of the mission shows prevailing Sun imagery.
Astrology of the Moonwalkers: primarily Pisces Sun sign. Why?
Epiphanies of the astronauts in space. What did they see? The tension between Reason and Revelation.
The mission may be seen in a different light: the union of Sun (Apollo) and Moon, giving birth to the Divine Child, Earth.
