New Podcast Premiere with Richard Rohlin and a special announcement
Rohlin reveals the universal icon, the Medieval Model, Tolkien, Lewis, and the 'Discarded Image' - plus a chance to hold a prototype of my next big project
Author, Podcast Host, Game Designer, Seraphim Richard Rohlin tells the tales of rescuing Snow White with Jonathan Pageau, the origins of their Universal History podcast, and creating a role-playing game called Amboria project. Rohlin reveals the Medieval Model, the Universal Icon of the Middle Ages, the difference between intellect and reason, and other themes from C.S. Lewis's last published work The Discarded Image. This profound podcast premieres on YouTube Thursday 2/15 at 11:30 am pst.
I experimented with some of YouTube’s features. For the first time on the Dialogues with Derek podcast, you can view a preview before the release of the premiere. Check it out and let me know what you think. If you like it, I will take the extra time to produce more previews in the future.
I hope to see you in the live chat. If not, you can rewatch the conversation on YouTube, or listen to the audio version when it is published here on Substack a few days later.
Stay tuned: I will be posting my book notes from The Discarded Image and my personal conversation notes from the Rohlin podcast exclussively to you, my indelable newsletter subscribers.
Lastly, in case you haven’t heard, we have a chance to meet in person at the end of this month. Rohlin and I will be participating in the Symbolic World Summit starting February 29, 2024 (leap year, of course). Will you be joining us? I hope so. I will be bringing a special new something that you won’t want to miss.
To honor of our opportunity to meet in person, I will be bringing a rare prototype of my next big project. Hint: it is something that you can hold and thumb. ;)
It is a collaboration with a fellow symbolic world artisan who makes fastiduous works of art. After the SW Summit, this special project will be available to purchase exclussively through my newsletter subscribers. More details to come. Stay tuned.
Sincerely,
Derek
@Derek J Fiedler have you noticed the similarity between that model of the cosmos and the Neolithic rings engravings? Some even have ten rings. Most have 3, 5 or 7.
Is this model baked into human perception, rather than modern conception?
Awesome, illuminating conversation, Derek, drawing me deeper into the Universal History of our world. I'll give myself a quarter of a point for my Dante Alighieri (Inferno) guess at the content of this podcast--not quite on the money! I'm now very keen to read Lewis's 'The Discarded Image' and Boethius's 'The Consolation of Philosophy'. Cheers.
