2025-10-11 01:39:43 +0000 UTCFor the curious, with tongue in cheek (sort of): As it happens, according to some who played with Maxwell equations excessively, in the near-field region of a source (a mirror?), electromagnetic fields (e.g. light) propagate superluminally. In other words, effects precede causes in that region. Scrying? Anybody? The problem is that the actual near-field region of visible light is only a few hundred nanometers thick. Perhaps, that's why it is so difficult to make anything out. Shadowy figures, fog and such and such. A metal mirror will also reflect any radiation in the radio frequency domain as long as it is insulated, thus extending the near field zone from nanometers to meters. Would a virgin boy holding the mirror make a good insulator? Yes, he would. The question is: what were they bouncing off the mirror? I leave the rest as an exercise for the reader. https://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0603240

2025-10-07 01:47:02 +0000 UTCThose mirror covers are amazing! I can imagine being the proud possessor of one of those. I'm looking forward to your spooky schedule for October. Sometime in the future, I would love for you to do a video in the same vein on MS 121, Western Medieval Manuscripts Collection, University of Edinburgh. It's called the Tractatus Varii and in it there is a spell, including infinity circle diagram, to raise a demon named "Baron." Since F and B seem to have been transmutable over time, I am wondering if this is yet another variation on the name? You mentioned a "Florbarie" (sp?) and a "Bilit" that was interchangeable for Lilith in other texts. Whether Baron and Floron are related or not, I'd love to have your insight into the curious little grimoire in which he appears. https://images.is.ed.ac.uk/luna/servlet/view/search/what/MS+121?q=tractatus+varii+western+medieval&sort=work_shelfmark%2Csequence%2Cwork_source_page_no%2Cwork_subset_index

2025-10-04 14:32:48 +0000 UTCWe've been enjoying your work for several months at least especially the Merkavah lectures. Along with that my wife and I have been puzzling over some of the things shown behind you and one very curious device in the intro. In the intro there is a device that rhythmically splits a flow of water into two streams. We've ha hundreds of guesses about it but, what is that thing? Besides the bust of John Dee, the Phastos Disk, and what appears to be a small still in the background there is a book titled "Drawing Down the Moon". Is there a possibility that you could do an episode explaining all the cool stuff in the background?

2025-10-02 20:40:11 +0000 UTCAs a fellow satanic panic survivor, I must tell you that, while I listened, I was writing a few notes for possible inclusion in D&D. Then you made the joke about granting +1 to intelligence. I had to pause the lecture for a bit due to laughing. All that aside, thank you for another fascinating lesson.

2025-10-02 07:35:46 +0000 UTCThank you. As I child I had Lewis Carrol’s’Through the Looking Glass’ and read it over and over. I imagined, being left-handed, that I was on the wrong side of the mirror. Historical scrying is a fascinating subject.

2025-10-02 03:27:20 +0000 UTCAnd just as a further matter of interest (perhaps?), while I have never done "scrying" with a mirror as it is described in many different texts, I have done some work with mirrors, and the effects are...let's just say potentially scary for those who aren't prepared for it, and disturbing even for those who are.

2025-10-01 17:04:04 +0000 UTCSuperb work, as always! :) The name that I heard you say as "Fail-Berry" (?!?) in the Cambridge manuscript makes me wonder...I am going to have to go and look at it, as the form might point toward something with which I am familiar...I will get back to you later on this if I think it is what I suspect it might be!

2025-10-01 15:44:37 +0000 UTCCertain practices of meditation employ a trick of imagining looking through a window in your minds eye, or at a screen upon which is projected the answers you seek. Imagining looking into a mirror in such meditations could serve the same purpose. How much more potent would it be if you actually possessed the mirror that you would then call up in your meditations?
