Arcane: The History of Magic

This podcast (which is on hiatus until I submit my PhD for defence) explores the real, sometimes dark, and always wondrous history of magic.

Thank you to everyone who has listened to Arcane for helping it reach 10k downloads from people in over 85 countries!!!
The podcast is still on hiatus until I submit my PhD for defence - but that is weeks away, and I am excited to begin working on it again! More updates to come!

@winjer Hello! I have successfully relocated, got her a horrendous flu (not covid mercifully) and have fought up on grading undergrad papers. The next episode is in the works, and then I should get back to the intended schedule! :)

[Arcane: The History of Magic @ArcaneHistory]

Sorry for the interruption to my upload schedule. Due to the rise of covid-19 and the forthcoming lockdown measures in the UK, I am in rapidly relocating back to stay with family in Nova Scotia, Canada.
But do not worry, the next episode will come shortly after I have relocated.

Happy Halloween everyone!
From 2:00-4:00PM EST today I am celebrating Halloween with a two hour AMA (Ask Me Anything) on the r/History page of Reddit.
If you have any questions about magic, the podcast, or me, feel free to come along! :)

My little friend Abrasax (or "Abra") has decided that the best POSSIBLE time to cuddle up is when I have a microphone running to record episodes. I am afraid there have been several cut takes when a loud purr rises up in the background, or when I am interrupted by a little "mew!"

I am thankful that Arcane has been mentioned in posts by eminent scholars of magic such as @DrFrancisYoung and in blog posts by academic communities like the University of Exeter Magic and Esotericism Research Group! (See: https://t.co/va8YKM6IHo )
