009 - Dr. Alexander Cummins

Scholar, necromancer, and joy-to-be-around Dr. Alexander Cummins pops in to talk about his new book, An Excellent Booke of the Arte of Magicke: The Magical Works of Humphrey Gilbert and John Davis. We get into spirit conjuration, necromancy, learning magic from the ghosts of dead magicians, and the relationship between magic and colonialism. Frank Sivilli (anti.bishop) also has a great pair of astrological elections for us, including one that makes use of the elusive February 29th.
