Medieval Science and Sorcery - Back before there was a difference between astrology and astronomy or alchemy and chemistry, Medieval science looked significantly different than its Modern-day heir. We’ll look at the philosophical underpinnings that Medieval thinkers inherited from Antiquity and how their ideas about the natural world worked systematically.

    This is the most underrated channel on YT. I have thoroughly enjoyed SO many of these lectures.
  • I’ve enjoying watching these, but notice that the majority of the audience that talks is not to ask a question but to try to interject something that they know.
  • Wonderful videos. I love how you present the information in such a clear, logical manner while also being entertaining. I minored in history (many years ago) but I am learning so much more. Thank you!
  • I really enjoy these talks, and I love the range of the topics. Thank you so much!

    The platonic solids of aether and water are the wrong way round. Water is the icosahedron and aether the dodecahedron
  • What about the EGYPTIAN EBERS PAPYRUS WHICH COMES WAY BEFORE THE GREEKS MASTERS
  • This freaking guy is great! I like that he's smart azfuq but a funky dude! 😁

    1:00:23 the plane of the ecliptic vs the constellations/ the zodiac 1:00:30 I wish I could zoom in more, guess I have to look at it on a big screen; or find the source

    At one stage there was just 10 astrological signs. Virgo ♍️ and Scorpio ♏️ were the result of one sign separated into two signs and Libra ♎️ was inserted between them. Source for that knowledge was Rosicrucian.
  • This is a very good introduction for the serious practitioner at the beginning of study. And no list of the Secret Masters to the dawn of time. I found them a little tiresome after a while. Leonardo daVinci was involved in an incredible number of conspiracies, organization, cabals, orders, and whatall.
  • The dodecahedron and icosahedron are switched, the dodecahedron is spirit/æther and the icosahedron is water

    Remember that GOTHIA is what we call today Catalonia, the true owners of the Catalan Darragon Crown

    1:23:30 Aaaaaactually....physicists can now! It just takes a nuclear reactor and the amount of gold you get out of it is tiny. It cost much more to make the gold than the gold is actually worth...but it can be done!
