WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:04.839 You see, something's going to happen. 2 00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:10.599 What what's gonna happen? 3 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:28.079 Up? Everybody, Welcome to another Headless is Magical mail bag. 4 00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.920 I got my co host Nick with me. I gotta 5 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:36.240 tell you Nick, your episode on Tycho brahe was just amazing. 6 00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:37.479 Thank you. 7 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:39.600 I really had it. I really had a great time 8 00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.359 actually making it. I thoroughly enjoyed that one for sure. 9 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.039 I love how you got into the technical details as 10 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.640 well as like his his wild, madcap sort of lifestyle 11 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.880 as well. It's like this contrast to this guy is amazing. 12 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:54.640 Yeah, that's why I even said at the beginning, I 13 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:56.359 really wanted to give people like an idea of like 14 00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:58.320 what kind of funck like, like what was it like 15 00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.320 in the Renaissance life? And it's like those one of 16 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.479 the fuckers were like, no, like weirder. I mean, they 17 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.159 were just as weird as we are now. And and 18 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.439 the thing is, like what I found interesting is like 19 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.959 that stuff probably wasn't considered all that weird then, but yeah, 20 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.640 for some reason it would be now to have like 21 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.079 a to entertain a dwarf's channelings or you know, just 22 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.000 like certain things. It was just interesting to show that 23 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.680 that's what people entertained back then, and that's the links 24 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:24.640 they went to try to figure out knowledge for truth. 25 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.359 Well, you taught me something too. The drunken elk that 26 00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.200 fell down the stairs was actually a fucking moose. 27 00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:32.920 Yeah yeah, use. 28 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.120 Isn't an elk. It's like five hundred pounds bigger, you know. 29 00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.079 It's fucking that's probably it probably fell and like crust 30 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.760 its neck from the fall, like the weight on it. 31 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.359 Yeah, that's amazing. So he's just getting elk drunk in 32 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.239 his castle and they just what they bulldozed his castles 33 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:54.280 after he was gone. 34 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.040 Yeah, yeah, I was. I couldn't believe that too. Yeah. 35 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.840 And then eventually, like they read, did them to like 36 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.239 reconstructed like a tiny bit. But yeah, it was like 37 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.519 just like damn, like you just like you don't even 38 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.479 want to try to repurpose that, like fuck the fuck? 39 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:13.759 I mean, especially a place that was sucking up one 40 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:18.240 percent of the country's budget, right. 41 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:20.360 Well, I didn't know what they expected to get out 42 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:22.719 of it. I mean, if they're funding all this stuff, 43 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.960 like how exactly are they getting something back back then? 44 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.919 But I guess there was a you know, thriving arts 45 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.120 community and that was sort of like the arts, you know, 46 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.879 and you had to have these noblemen who were contributing 47 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:36.960 to the arts, and this this was his whole life, 48 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.360 you know. I mean he was supposed to be going 49 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.719 to school for lawyer or whatever, and he's just like, ah, 50 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.479 let's put that aside and go back to the astronomy. 51 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.960 Yeah, I think that's what's cool too. So he pulled 52 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.879 that off, right, he was going for And then I 53 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:56.319 was like, yeah, I think I'm going to do this fucking. 54 00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:01.000 Go on about Tycho all day. Why don't they have 55 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:01.919 movies about him? 56 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.919 I mean, come on, yo, right you could yeah, I 57 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.719 mean even seriously, like his story would like make like 58 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.039 almost like comical and like serious too, you know what 59 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.599 I'm saying, Like very entertaining. It could be very entertaining. 60 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.159 Sure you call it a period piece, and you can 61 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.560 just call it Tycho. And you've got all these scenes 62 00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.240 just in the trailer. I could see it now. He's 63 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.680 getting his nose slashed, he's got elk falling down the stairs, 64 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.919 he's got a midget coming out from under the table. 65 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:26.879 It would be amazing. 66 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:32.080 Yeah, Well for real, right, there's like so much to 67 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.080 work with there. That's like a national Lampoon's movie come true, 68 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.960 you know, like see you know, the storyline come true. 69 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.319 There's so many characters in history that are just so 70 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:48.719 ripe for you know, like making a movie out of it, 71 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.159 really digging into the material and staying accurate to history 72 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.960 as well, because there's so much stuff in there, you know. 73 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.960 But I think one of the interesting things if we 74 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.879 can get into the symbols that I'd like to see 75 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:06.080 a movie of without the whole you know, video game aesthetic, 76 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.280 would have to be the is Mahli. Right, So this 77 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:15.960 is the Hashashians. If you've ever heard of the Assassins 78 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.279 Guild was actually a real thing. And so in the 79 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:25.319 Caspian Sea region of Iran from about ten thirty to 80 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:30.120 the twelve hundreds, there was this group that was literally 81 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.480 called the Assassins. They had a couple of castles, and 82 00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:40.040 their whole shtick was mind control and covert murder, right, 83 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:45.600 And so the is Mali Assassins keep popping up throughout 84 00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:48.279 all of history, and I thought this was kind of appropriate, 85 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.040 since you know, what we're going through is a country 86 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:53.319 right now, maybe you should know your enemy a little bit. 87 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.759 So this is how it works, right, What they do 88 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:02.639 is they brainwash people into murdering prominent individuals, and this 89 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.560 was their main method of operations. So they would be 90 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.879 contracted out to surrounding kingdoms and they worked a lot 91 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.800 with the Knights Templar as well. These guys had a 92 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:23.639 very complex relationship politically with their rivals and other gangs 93 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:29.920 that basically, you know, amounted to a kind of drugged 94 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:35.519 out mk Ultra before mk Ultra program that I think 95 00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.399 really stands the test of time as an example for 96 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.519 people who are just bloodthirsty and power hungry. So if 97 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.319 you want to get them out of the way, you 98 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.560 better hire an assassin from the assassins guilled and you know, 99 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.040 maybe they would leave calling cards behind. I know that 100 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.839 was the idea. You wanted to let everybody know that 101 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.399 we're the assassins, you can't touch us, and we're going 102 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.600 to murder you. So maybe they would use number like 103 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.759 thirty three, maybe over and over again, thirty three all 104 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:05.920 the time, just to let everybody know, hey, it was 105 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.519 us that did that, like. 106 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.279 They do now in the news. 107 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:16.279 There you go. So I think if they did have 108 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.519 this intimate connection with the Templars, there might be something 109 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:25.079 to say about what then became the you know Freemasons, 110 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.360 why they use this thirty three number over and over, right, 111 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:34.079 So the complex relationships that they had carried on in spirit, 112 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.920 maybe not just the people. So the way that the 113 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.000 assassins would work is they would take slaves off the 114 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:47.759 street brainwash them into This is the Marco Polo rendition, right. 115 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.639 So Marco Polo said what they would do is they 116 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.319 would kidnap a slave off the street and then they 117 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.800 would say that, you know, we have a way for 118 00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.279 you to see paradise, and they would get them all 119 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.319 drugged up. This is where the idea of hash comes in, right. 120 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.120 So hash is you know this, you know, marijuana oil 121 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.720 that they would drug these people with until they were 122 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.920 in kind of a stupor right, really powerful, uh, marijuana oil. 123 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.319 And so they would take them to these castles and 124 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.399 the courtyards of the castles would be filled with all 125 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.600 these women and they would say, you know all this 126 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.399 stuff in the Koran, you're looking at paradise right now. 127 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.040 And they'd be all drugged up and then they knock 128 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.480 them out again and be like, look, all you have 129 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.839 to do to get to paradise is to fulfill the 130 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:37.480 mission that we've given you. And go kill your master, right, 131 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:39.800 do it in front of everybody, and then kill yourself 132 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.879 and then you'll be right back here. You know. Obviously 133 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.519 it was you know, not said it was a real place, 134 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.560 but it was more like a spiritual place. And so 135 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:52.160 Marco Polo's relating the story of the assassins where they 136 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.360 would drug people, tell them that they're going to a 137 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.879 better place, and then get them to kill somebody. And 138 00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.759 in the story Marco Polo, he went to one of 139 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:05.959 these castles and the king there told all of his 140 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.879 servants to climb up on the walls. And then as 141 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.319 soon as he gave the orders, all those servants just 142 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.000 jumped off the walls. He killed themselves immediately because they 143 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:19.759 were brainwashed into this sort of thing. And he also 144 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:23.480 used stage magic, a little bit brutal stage magic. By 145 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.920 the way, this is what comes through Bill Cooper in 146 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.680 his Mystery Babylon series. So he covered a lot of 147 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:36.320 this extensively. And he said that the king would take 148 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.799 a hollowed out crate or like a hollowed out floor 149 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.679 and then put somebody inside of it and then tell 150 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.159 all of his guests or his servants that he has 151 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:52.000 the ability to reanimate dead material, and so they would 152 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.039 all come in and look at this head, and the 153 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.799 head would start prophesying it was a guy in the floor, 154 00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:01.440 and then after the prophecy was over, he would chop 155 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.279 the head off just to prove to everybody that was 156 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:10.080 already dead or something like that. Right, So this whole 157 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:12.360 thing was sort of like a stage magic kind of 158 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:17.159 set up. Now he can show he can reanimate matter 159 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:20.600 and everything else. So there's a lot of interesting factors 160 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.759 in what goes into the Ishmaeli and what we see 161 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:28.000 as our popular narratives in society right now is we're 162 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.120 kind of given this whole stage magic and then we 163 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.840 you know, dissect that stage magic. We find that it's 164 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.039 full of holes. But then we're giving in given another 165 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.279 narrative to sort of fill in for the holes, and 166 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.759 then give it another narrative. But we're not actually given 167 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.320 the actual evidence or the truth that can allow us 168 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:48.120 to have that mental freedom of knowing what actually happened. 169 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:54.200 So that's that's my symbol. The hash Ashians Guild seal 170 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:59.360 I have never heard of that before. Check them out Ishmali. 171 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:11.159 It's spe well, so you can look it up. It 172 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.919 is all right. So this is also Persian and Romanized 173 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:20.120 and all sorts of other stuff. I s m a apostrophe, 174 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:26.440 I l i ishma'li. Right, that's the Persian version and 175 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:33.000 it was founded by Hassan el Sabah ten Ad. So yeah, 176 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.120 check it out, start tracking it through history. Check out 177 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.159 Bill Cooper's Mystery Babylon if you really want to get 178 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.720 deep into the history. He sort of goes goes into 179 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.320 it a lot. But you know the ah what's it called, 180 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:52.639 the Shriners. Yeah, yeah, big Hashashian roots in the Shriners 181 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:59.559 big time. That's an inner order of the Freemasons. So 182 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:01.879 it's like, what are a bunch of white people doing 183 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.159 going around with fezes and all of this Middle Eastern aesthetic. 184 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.639 That's kind of where they're getting it from, is like, 185 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:13.200 we're the League of Assassins. So the idea that they're 186 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.879 wearing the red fez is kind of interesting because that 187 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.039 was kind of a a propaganda tool for the Europeans. 188 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.519 They said that the Turks would dip their fezes in 189 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:25.399 European blood, that's why they have the red fezzes. And 190 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:28.440 then you got all these people who are related to 191 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.879 the assassins all over the United States and they're just say, oh, 192 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.159 it's just an aesthetic thing, is it. 193 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.840 It's kind of strange you think most of these people 194 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:40.320 that have done this, these outfits and where this should 195 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:46.120 have no idea what the fucking means. 196 00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:49.480 Kind of like assassin. 197 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:53.000 Slaves whatever, good old boys story. Somebody tells them, they'll think, oh, 198 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:53.759 that sounds great. 199 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:58.679 I'll go with that, right, because they're just joining a 200 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:00.000 social club exactly. 201 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:04.039 Yeah. 202 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.679 Yeah, So let's see what did you What did you 203 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:07.120 bring us today? 204 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:08.679 That looks curial ring? 205 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:10.840 All right? What we got here? 206 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:16.919 This is a mercurial ring, a Nilo d mercurio from 207 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:24.600 Alfonso the tenth Libro Libro d Astromagia. It's a thirteenth 208 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.879 century talismanic ring design tied to the planet Mercury. Depicted 209 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.480 in the Spanish astromagical compilation known as the Libro d 210 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:40.679 Astromagia Book of Astromagic Surviving Miniatures, which is those little 211 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:45.399 drawing things, show a magician empowered by Mercury. One image 212 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:49.159 even labels the scene a Nilo d mercurio and depicts 213 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.879 the spirit appearing as a writer or a on a 214 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.759 winged elephant while the practitioner works within a ritual rectangle 215 00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:59.919 and where does it? A first show up in this book, 216 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:04.720 and that is in the late twelve seventies early twelve eighties. 217 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.360 The only manuscript is in the Vatican Library. 218 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:09.840 Now. 219 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.679 Contemporary and later inventories describe its contents as one fourteenth 220 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:23.679 century French library note even its contents one fourteenth French 221 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:27.519 library note even mentions the closing rubric as ortro anilo 222 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:32.279 d mercurial another ring of mercury, confirming multiple mercurial ring 223 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:37.399 recipes or figures in the book. The manuscript circulated in 224 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:40.759 France and ultimately entered the Vatican Collection, where it was 225 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:47.399 rediscovered for scholarship in nineteen eleven. Where have you seen it? 226 00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:50.960 Whereas it used historically again it's part of a broader 227 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.840 astronomical program alongside with Libro d last forms a whole 228 00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.159 bunch of other words, and it also a lot of time. 229 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.440 It also gets like paired up with stuff from the Pikatrix. 230 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:08.240 It's also kind of logged among astronomy and astrology books 231 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:12.000 with painted figures, later owned by collectors like Paul Pateau 232 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:17.679 before entering Before entering Queen Christina of Sweden's library and 233 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:23.200 then the Vatican, the work is presented today in facsimiles 234 00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:27.159 and overviews. It's then you know, because there's really no 235 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:31.799 books around what it means. In medieval magic image magic, 236 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:38.240 mercury governs, eloquence, memory, learning, craft, and clever negotiation. The 237 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:41.600 mercurial ring is a wearable talisman meant to capture mercurial 238 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.759 influence at a chosen astrological moment. Alfonso's images directly parallel 239 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:52.720 Pikatrix style instructions for planetary rings and talismans. There's times 240 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:57.120 to work with mercury and stuff like that. They're also 241 00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:01.240 engrave in inscribe appropriate characters and images, And this is 242 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.320 another one where they I think I had mentioned this 243 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.240 one other time. In this one, it is mentioned to 244 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:14.639 fumigate with subtle aromatics and consecrate with invocations. Some astromagica 245 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.480 scenes even specify conditions like mercury and libre and show 246 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:23.159 an angel handle handing the ring to the image again 247 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.399 like how it was used in a ritual. Again, they 248 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:30.960 would use those those like miniatures, and the magician would 249 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:34.919 stand within a magic rectangle and they would fumigate and 250 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.559 they would do their invocation. But there is also again 251 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.600 that protective boundary that they use as a rectangle in 252 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.519 this one. I know I've mentioned that before with them 253 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:49.360 doing that with solemonic magic. It's suggested here too, so uh, 254 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.799 and it says the manifestation of the mercurial spirits sometimes 255 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.360 mounted during the act of empowering the ring. This visual 256 00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:01.559 program matches textual traditions of celestial magic, where images prison elected, timing, 257 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:07.320 draw down, planetary influence into metal, so pretty much making 258 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.240 a talisman. 259 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:15.840 And really interesting image. I think the whole rectangle thing 260 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:18.759 has gotten me kind of interested because it looks like 261 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.200 he's standing in front of a portal, right, and so 262 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.679 he's supposed to be the magician on the rectangle, and 263 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.799 he's sort of existing outside of time, and then mercury 264 00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:32.759 is coming in sort of from the world. So this 265 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.360 guy is sort of separating himself out so that he 266 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:39.399 could enchant this ring. Is there an incantation or anything 267 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.080 that goes along with this image or is it just 268 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:41.799 the image? 269 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:42.919 I couldn't get that. 270 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:50.720 Actually, it's amazing. So all of these magical manuscripts right 271 00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:53.840 have so many holes in them. It's hard not to 272 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.080 think that they might be deliberate, you know what I mean? 273 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:01.399 Oh yeah, sections missing and all the rest of this stuff. 274 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:05.319 Maybe that is deliberate. Maybe there is a lot more 275 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.200 to this stuff that we know, and that's why it's 276 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:10.000 so incomplete to the general public. 277 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.640 He can rip off one little piece and be missing 278 00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:16.119 some missing whole piece. You know what I'm saying. You 279 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:17.599 can screw a lot of things up if you're trying 280 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:22.599 to understand it could be the key, yeah exactly, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 281 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:23.519 I agree with that. 282 00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:26.640 But I like, I like the medieval style on this. 283 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:31.920 It's a it's interesting that he's riding a chimeric elephant. 284 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:38.960 I've never seen elephants being associated with mercury. It's usually 285 00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:42.279 you know, you think about fast animals and you know, 286 00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:45.680 animals that go between realms and stuff like that. But 287 00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:49.599 elephant with wings, that's a new one. And what kind 288 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:53.160 of feet are those? Is that like lion's feet looks 289 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:59.039 kind of like a like his back legs. You see that? Please? 290 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:05.160 Oh yeah, you know what? Oh, I don't know, you 291 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:09.400 know what? They almost look like to me? Uh like 292 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:13.720 the when I was in Nashville, it was it Nashville, Yeah, 293 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:15.839 it was Nashville. When I filmed the one of the 294 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:17.680 things in front of the Mason buildings, the legs of 295 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:21.240 it were like lion legs and they kind of had 296 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:24.559 like those big front poles like that, because it definitely 297 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.480 doesn't look like the front of the elephant. I don't know, 298 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:28.119 it looks different. 299 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:31.640 What's got the stripes? And the stripes kind of make 300 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:32.400 me think zebra? 301 00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.640 Yeah right, I don't know. 302 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:38.359 And the wings, Yeah, there's something to it that it's 303 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:43.119 a chimera. That's not exactly immediately obvious, but you definitely 304 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:47.720 see the wings. And is that is that an altar 305 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:53.160 below him? That's what I was wondering, because again you're 306 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:54.319 talking about the fumigation. 307 00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:55.960 That's what I was like wondering if that's like the 308 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:04.440 inceinsburner like the things, Yeah, the fire to fumigate with. Right, Interesting, 309 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:05.519 I have a star up there. 310 00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:09.480 Too, right, Well, you know, I assume it has something 311 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:13.119 to do with the planetary time, because that's that's big. 312 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:16.240 When it comes to charging the metals and stuff. You 313 00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:19.400 have to do it at certain times, yeah, which is 314 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.839 why you know, let's face it, Tycho was probably really 315 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.759 sought after by a bunch of you know, magic practitioners 316 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.480 because he had everything down to the arc second right 317 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:36.200 within zero zero one percent of you know, that's a 318 00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:39.960 lot of predictive power. Yeah, so magicians would definitely be 319 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:40.519 drawn to that. 320 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:47.799 Let me think. I think, oh right, that's my that's 321 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:49.839 my image sticking to it. 322 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:55.039 Yeah, all right, let's see. So I got more from 323 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:55.720 Winter York. 324 00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:01.400 We hit the vave for this one. Yeah, yeah, this 325 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:03.440 might be like a season. 326 00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:12.119 We could do a whole season. Yeah all right. Oh, 327 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.839 it always spits me right up to the top. You know, 328 00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:25.160 I gotta do this on a different thing. All right, 329 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:29.599 this one is labeled one last One. I'm not sure 330 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:32.799 if this should even be played on air. Oh jeez, 331 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.079 this is probably the scariest thing that happened to me, 332 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:39.519 and it was recorded. I'll just start from the very 333 00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.799 start of this energy. I was living in New Hampshire 334 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.000 with my grandma, as i'd left my kid's dad over 335 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.839 that horrific roommate. My son was three years old and 336 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:51.640 we had a doctor's appointment in the late afternoon during 337 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:54.640 a snowstorm. While waiting for the nurse to come back 338 00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:57.440 into the room, everything was very quiet. My son asked me, 339 00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:00.599 what's that noise. I stopped and listened, and because I 340 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.519 wasn't hearing anything. But it turns out it was the 341 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.160 ticking second hand of the clock on the wall. I 342 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:09.440 started to explain the hands of the clock to him 343 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:12.240 when I noticed it was stuck. The clock was stuck 344 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.759 at ten forty. It was at ten forty. It was 345 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.279 like two pm. Then the nurse came in and she 346 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:20.839 shut the door and took two steps. When the clock 347 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.640 didn't drop from the wall, it flung out from the 348 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:27.240 wall and glass shattered. We got my son's shoes back 349 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:29.359 on and went to a different room, but the nurse 350 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.759 found this strange. Anyway. After the appointment and the horrible 351 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.000 blizzard driving home, we both took a nap. Now in 352 00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:40.000 this dream, I was in the basement where the laundry is, 353 00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:44.079 and suddenly there were these giant black spiders everywhere. Then 354 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:46.839 in the corner of the old unused shower, next to 355 00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:50.440 the washing machine, there was this tiny creature. It had 356 00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:57.400 the energy of a god. Though Taicho, a little dwarf. 357 00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:00.759 I forgot his name. I keep forgetting to jet Be. 358 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:08.599 There was Jetpe coming up from the table. He looked 359 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:10.839 like a man from the waist up, but he was 360 00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:14.240 all red with horns, and he had arms crossed, but 361 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:16.799 his body was like a spider. Crab. It was like 362 00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:20.039 a hard shell. The message was, let me tell you 363 00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:22.839 how it is. Next. In the dream, I was upstairs 364 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:25.640 holding my laundry, but I was thinking, I can't go 365 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:28.559 down there. There's a demon in my basement. And then 366 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:32.119 this thought came in loud and clear. My son needs 367 00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:34.960 clean clothes and I need clean underwear. Who cares about 368 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.799 the demon in the basement? Face your fears. So I 369 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.720 went back down to the basement and above the washing machine, 370 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:44.480 where there was normally a wall, there was a hole 371 00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:48.799 into a bunch of tunnels. I watched this crab spider 372 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.000 creature lead a man who is dressed in a white 373 00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:57.079 robe holding a lantern to physical treasure. I looked down 374 00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:59.480 to my side and I saw a child. I knew 375 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.880 this man's child left behind, and I reached out to 376 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:05.440 give him a hug. When I woke up, the tapping 377 00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:07.839 of the spider crab legs turned out to be the 378 00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:12.240 tapping of sleet hitting my window. At this point, I thought, well, 379 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:16.319 another weird dream. But here's the thing. While they were 380 00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:19.839 in that office doing the appointment, it was the ticking 381 00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:25.440 sound that the kid was asking about. So it's the 382 00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:27.680 ticking sound of the window ticking, sound of the office, 383 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:30.799 and you've got that explosion. It's weird. Still got to 384 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.240 go make dinner. I guess this is my life now. 385 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:35.799 It dawned on me because at this point I was 386 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:38.720 looking into the tarot and realized that the figure being 387 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:42.960 led looked like the hermit car. Following this, I started 388 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:45.759 to try and figure out if this thing was represented 389 00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.920 in occultism, and the closest I could find was bald, 390 00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:52.480 except there were no cats or frogs, So I don't 391 00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:57.200 know now in the death tree belly all can be 392 00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:00.400 like a crab I found in this one sort. I 393 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:02.920 don't even know if that matters, because after that, I 394 00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:05.880 was playing taxi to my mom and her current boyfriend 395 00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:08.720 to a concert. She had no time for us, but 396 00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:12.079 needed a ride to the concert. After she got out 397 00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.000 of the car, my son started crying that he wanted 398 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:17.559 to spend time with his granny and that in that moment, 399 00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:20.160 I looked back at him and saw the tears rolling 400 00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:22.400 down his face and saw myself as a child doing 401 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.119
