Best seminar topic for discussion this week.

How does the golem compare to other human created beings like Frankenstein or AI?

Students did not disappoint in their reflections.

That feeling when you get when being sent the proposed program for a conference you are presenting at and you find out you are giving your paper in a panel with two of GIANTS in your field.

Caught between fangirling, pride and sheer terror.

Another day writing about magic in the works of the medieval church doctors. I just love being able to do this, despite the slow and painful process of writing.

Appropriate since I am writing a bit on Aquinas an magic today. 🖤
Today is the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, d. 1274. The Angelic Doctor is known for many things, not least of which was his absolutely terrible handwriting, the "littera inintelligibilis." Here it is, in Vat. lat. 9850.
