Again: a fascinating talk that flew by and gave me delectable food for thought. Thanks to you, I'll see Nosferatu with new(er) eyes next time I watch the film (or look at the figure of him on my car dash). Well done!

“The notion of woman as devil’s accomplice is prominent throughout Christian history and has been used to legitimise the surbordination of wives and daughters”.
Got my hands on this beauty today! @PerFaxneld 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

I often wonder what academia before computers was like. No emails so you just go home and read books and drink tea; your students have to actually go to office hours to ask questions; publication send rejections to your actual mailbox; no PowerPoints . . . what have we done

For anyone who enjoyed @PerFaxneld’s piece on Townsend Warner in The Summoning Issue and for any fans of Lolly Willowes, a Halloween present from @BBCRadio4!
Tomorrow at 3 pm on @BBCRadio4 is Sylvia Townsend Warner's marvelous Lolly Willowes. I've described it to friends as Virginia Woolf but if Woolf had felt that novels needed witches sabbats and conversations with Satan, which is wrong but not very wrong. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001140…

Well, that was a fascinating lecture on Satanic Feminism from @PerFaxneld via The Last Tuesday Society. Our reading list has just expanded considerably though.

När jag intervjuade religionshistorikern @PerFaxneld om hans bok om Hilma af Klint och esoterismen undrade jag varför han inte skrivit mer om psykoanalysen. Frågan ledde till den här underbara artikeln. modernpsykologi.se/2021/02/0…

What branches of spirituality did Hilma af Klint pursue and how were they expressed in her art? FULGUR interviewed Hedvig Martin, a doctoral candidate researching af Klint's religious worldview, about the beliefs and methods the artist used: fulgur.co.uk/hilma-af-klint-…

Läsvärt om det esoteriska i konsten - @PerFaxneld har skrivit en intressant idéhistorisk och kulturhistorisk odyssé där esoterismen sätts in i en kontext. Mathias Jansson har läst Det ockulta sekelskiftet utgiven på @VolanteForlag. opulens.se/litteratur/lasvar…
