I’m very excited to introduce a brand-new feature to you: The Forbidden Histories Reading Group (https://www.reddit.com/r/ScienceMagicReadings). The first reading will be E.R. Dodds’s The Greeks and the Irrational. For a schedule and further information watch this video. Reading groups are not your thing? You may still enjoy the video, which addresses a possible link between the comparative angle Dodds takes on the Greek oracles in his book and his own experiences with trance mediumship.
