Welcome to the new podcast feed!  In our seventh episode, we step back from the close reading of the text to talk about what it is we are doing with our analysis of symbolism and mythology.  We'll discuss how A Song of Ice and Fire fits into a critically important tradition of esoteric and symbolic art and literature, and why that is so relevant and compelling to us in today's modern era. This forms the foundation how we at Mythical Astronomy view the books, and thus, our methodology for analyzing them. This isn't just a case of a clever author hiding double-meanings in his writing for his own amusement, but rather the continuation and elevation of a grand literary tradition.
We've also got some very important information about the state of the podcast at the beginning.  The matching text to this episode and all episodes can be found on lucifermeanslightbringer.com.  Featuring the local talents of the Amethyst Koala and the music of Animals as Leaders.
