Hilarious and wildly fascinating so far. Descartes, Bacon, Copernicus- all magicians and/or occult dabblers. And turns out “secularization” doesn’t equal “disenchantment” quite like we may think.

Fascinating stuff on the revival of folklore and the start of studying folklore in England in the late 1800s. Which totally cooked the going theory that the evolution of man was myth-religion-science. Those dang peasants stalled out in the myth stage 😆
