Dr. Justin Sledge, of the YouTube channel "Esoterica", has just released the first lecture in a crowdsourced and freely available course on the philosophy of Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, author of the "Three Books of Occult Philosophy", a foundational text for Western ceremonial magic.

Dr. Sledge is one of my favorite low stimulus/high fascination YouTubers to watch while I work. Thanks for the post!

Just finished watching this earlier - this first seminar covers the first half of Agrippa's life prior to writing the text in question, and is a great blend of informative combined with Dr. Sledge's incredibly dry humor. I incredibly recommend his entire channel, and actually made a post about it a little while back.
