Garden of Thought E.279 Shakespeare and the Occult
Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description
Shakespeare is a giant hole in my knowledge base. But I do know the occult or paranormal played center stage in many of his works. But that's about where it ends for me. So, a call to experts was needed. And like the fires of Rohan, they were answered. Enter frequent guest (and friend) Rev. Dr. David Parry and former thespian and current professional wrestler, Aron Haddad Stephens. Not only do they cover Shalespeare, but they cover pretty much everything. From esoteric schools of thought to philosophy, it's tackled from the lenses of the Elizabethan period and the modern periods. There are some history lessons along the way. Some working definitions. And certain philosophies oft identified with certain names or groups. Any useful substance I added is aided by luck. And of course I added a Dr. D David Schultz joke in.
David is not your typical clergymen. And Aron is far more than a grappler. We might just have given birth to an intellectual tag team for future shows.
