In this episode, we grabbed a handful of the books found on the top shelf that people look at but don't always recognize for what they are. From Agrippa to Yeats to the Orphic Hymns - there lies a treasure trove of esoteric knowledge. The shiny books may be the first ones you read but don't deny yourself the wonder that lies beyond the entry level.
Not quite bibliomancy as we weren't seeking answers to inquiry; rather, we read through a few passages at random just to demonstrate the sheer amount of information the classic works contain.
The episode would not be complete without the requisite contribution from Bella in the form of artistic snoring interspersed with her usual timing and accuracy.
We hope you enjoy it!
