  • Both Jonathan Geltner (Absolute Music) and Gregorio Montejo (In a Green Tree) return as guests to discuss the 2019 book, Beneath the Silent Heavens, by Brian Christopher Moore.

    Nested in the discussion of the book, we also discussed typology vs allegory, Noe's Ark, Medieval Mystery Plays, the Welsh poet David Jones, the French poet Charles Péguy, the American tale tellers R. A. Lafferty, Gene Wolfe and Tim Powers, and what makes good fantasy.

    What does make good fantasy anyway?

    Seriously, we covered a lot in this one, so don't miss it!

  • Friedrich Nietzsche and a guy named Bronze Age Pervert want to return to the Bronze Age of Greek civilization to reinvigorate our culture with abundant vitality. The trouble is, Greek paganism, like all paganism, lacks the vitality they so desire. The life force they want can't fulfill their desires. What can?

    Susannah Black Roberts, Senior Editor of Plough and Mere Orthodoxy, joins the show to discuss her essay, The Birth of Comedy, which offers a critique of this view. We discuss Nietzsche's misreading of Homer's Odyssey and how Jesus' words to St. Peter about the Gates of Hades are misunderstood by Christians today.

    My Brother's Keeper by Tim Powers

  • Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were German academics and philologists and are famous for their collection of folk tales, which includes Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Snow White. Rev. G. Ronald Murphy, S. J. joins the show to these stories and his book, The Owl, The Raven, and the Dove: The Religious Meaning of the Grimm's Magic Fairy Tales. Fr. Murphy is the professor emeritus of German at Georgetown University.

    His bio can be found here: https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/00336000014RkSzAAK/g-murphy

    The Grimm brothers weaved Norse and Classical mythology with Christian symbolism to try to revive these stories to their original meaning. Fr. Murphy and I dive deep into these tales and even compare the different versions from Charles Perrault to Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
    Fr. Murphy's book is excellent and you can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/Owl-Raven-Dove-Religious-Meaning/dp/0195151690

  • Author and poet Marly Youmans joins the show to discuss her recently published book, Seren of the Wildwood from Wiseblood Books:

    "Seren is born on the brink of Wildwood, realm of shadowy fey who listen and laugh–who sometimes bless and sometimes curse. As she grows into young womanhood, shaped by a familial tragedy tied to her conception, she is lured from home by a whispering mystery in Wildwood, where the supernatural roams freely through time and space. In riddling, often dangerous forests and mountains marked by fallen powers and holy women, oracles, hermits, and giants, Seren finds both violence and balm on a path arrowing toward transformation."

    Fairies, demons, giants, and more! Marly also discusses the creative process and how, sometimes, characters appear from the mists of our minds. This potent poem needs to be read more than once.

Amboria: The World Under Starlight is the result of about 20 years of myth-making and poetry. Culture, ritual, and liturgy are expertly woven together in this rich, textured, completely unique game.

  • Raphael Aloysius Lafferty was an author, a teller of tall tales, and a Catholic from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Gregorio Montejo of Ktistec Press and I discuss Lafferty's fiction, his life, his unique storytelling style, and why no one has ever heard of him (or have they?). We compare Lafferty's style to another famous Catholic speculative fiction author, Gene Wolfe. Wolfe even said that Lafferty is "our most original writer". Lafferty's fiction defies classification. 
    Ktistec Press publishes Feast of Laughter: An Appreciation of R. A. Lafferty and has two new books coming out soon. One is called The Wolfe’s Lair - Critical Essays on Gene Wolfe and the other is In a Green Tree by R. A. Lafferty. Both will be bought by me (and hopefully you too). Ktistec Press' books can be found on Amazon.

Without the spilling of blood, the world would end. Lydia Lei, history and literature teacher at Chesterton Academy, joins the show to discuss the Aztec religion and their religious symbolism. We talk about how these symbols were incorporated into the tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I mispronounce more names.
