Italian philosopher and Catholic priest

On this month's episode of Magus we are travelling all about Renaissance Europe and up through the layers of the heavens to undertake divine revelations into the life, times, and accomplishments of Giordano Bruno!From Bruno's early life as a Dominican priest, forced to flee one of six popes he thoroughly annoyed, right up to his horrid execution in the Campo de' Fiori, we're running through a wild highlights reel of his accomplishments - both in the development of his pioneering mnemonic memory systems through to creation of his occult philosophy, rooted in 'Egyptian Magic.'It's a wild journey, ranging from forbidden texts, hidden in the walls of a latrine, back through time to the birth of Renaissance Magic care of the likes of Pico and Ficino, into the heart of the French and English courts, to all the Universities where Bruno made himself so unpopular, wizardry aside this would still be a fascinating story. Yet, Giordano Bruno also preached a unique gospel, informed by the mythology of Hermes Trismegistus, which involved using hieroglyphics to talk to angels, flirting with Queen Elisabeth I, writing pretty ripe poetry, and trying to debate the failings of Christianity with the Pope himself...With examples of Bruno's wilder mystic beliefs as well as examples of how he shaped Renaissance science and culture, and even inspired aspects of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, if you know nothing about Bruno then this one is going to be a face-melter. And if you do, we bet the wealth of a mid-rank Medici that there will be things in this episode that will still surprise you! The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Uma belíssima e profunda reflexão sobre a obra e os ensinamentos deste personagem inigualável, que impactou a história humana com um legado que ainda hoje pretendemos alcançar. Exímio linguista, clérigo, médico, astrólogo e filósofo, Marcílio Ficino era conhecido como um homem mago, autêntico servidor da magna ciência, uma magia natural fundamentada no amor, essência comum a todas as religiões e via de integração do ser humano ao cosmos e à sua própria natureza divina. Em plena noite dos tempos, Ficino foi capaz de abrir uma porta iluminada pelo puro ouro da Sabedoria. Um farol que iluminou as mentes de grandes gênios e que ainda hoje faz brilhar a esperança de um novo renascimento humano.
On Thursday August 5th, 2021 - the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will present a discussion on Magical (Electional) Astrology from Ficino to Campanella with Bishop Michael Beeson (V.H. Frater Suen). We will refer to D.P. Walker's book Demonic and Spiritual magic from Ficino to Campanella, recounting Campanella and Pope Urban's magical astrological operation. We will discuss Planetary Hours, Lunar Mansions, and other aspects of electional astrology. We will recommend the books of Christopher Warnock (Renaissance astrology) and Michael Beeson's own podcast, Hacking Fate. So if you want to know how the old wizards did it, tune in and find out.

La capacidad turbadora del sonido, según pensadores de otras épocas, tiene la capacidad de curar, incluso, la melancolía, esa inexplicable enfermedad del alma, sobre la que hablaban tanto galenos como filósofos. Y se daba el caso de médicos, como Ficino, que además de brebajes para combatir la bilis negra, recetaban música, como la que hoy proponemos en este programa: Dufay, Frohberger, Monteverdi, Bach, Josquin y Guiraut de Riquier.Escuchar audio

Welcome to Season 10 of the Thoth-Hermes Podcast, dedicated to scholarly exploration of the Western Mystery Tradition. In this opening episode, Rudolf re-engages with Italian-American author David Pantano. David provides a dizzying timeline of occult development in the landscape that has become modern Italy. In the spirit of the Golden Bough (Fraser), David's book “The Magic Door” (2019) provides the canopy for honoring a history beginning with the European Wild West of Hesperia, embracing the varying definitions and forms of The Sacred through a culture's dynamic development. This Italic mythological history has repeatedly and deeply connected into international occulture. The conversation ranges from the importance of authentic linguistic diversity in both exoteric and esoteric reading to the appearance of Roman-era tripartite alchemical initiatory cosmology. Ovid, Virgil and the later Dante all receive citation, in addition Compano, and Ficino. The conversation explores Giordano Bruno's complex contributions not only to esotericism but larger practices such as the Art of Memory (in recent resurgence). We learn of the recent restoration of The Magic Door itself, with its multi-faith, multi-linguistic alchemical script… illustrating the tripartite. The repeated interaction, collusion and co-opting between Church and State are clearly acknowledged, as well as the pre-Rennaisance use of Magical Realism to influence the collective imagination towards the ideal of State. David and Rudolf take time to examine the influence of the UR Group, its writings, and ethical questions surrounding the figure of Julius Evola. David expresses his analysis that Evola, while holding controversial views, did repeatedly publicly and privately reject fascism David and Rudolph emphasize the rejection of hero worship toward any thinker, writer, or historical figure and the responsibility for sustained personal inner work as a bulwark against extremism. Pantano also invites the audience to contact him personally to further discuss or question any aspect of his writing or this interview. If you have questions for David or want to get in touch with him, go on his Faecbook page by clicking here and post him a message. In the interview, David and I mentioned a few times the new edition of the collected publications of the UR-Group. Below you find a picture of this edition. By clicking on one of the images you will be brought to the corresponding page of the publishers - Inner Tradition. Music played in this episode And once again I am happy to present the music by one of our listeners! Joshua Kirch has sent me his beautiful work already more than a year ago, but now finally after the break I can happily present it to you: Josh Kirch is a musician and composer who started with guitar, and he soon moved to classical guitar and performing in a guitar trio - really enjoying the range of repertoire and especially the Renaissance pieces available. This eventually led him to start learning the lute and cello.His compositions often mix electronic elements with classical and early music instrumentation and themes, as well as more standard rock and folk moments. And as he says himself, his training in magic and the occult has also opened new horizons in regards to his musical work.

Marsilio Ficino fu il pensatore che più di tutti, a Firenze, declinò il platonismo nella nuova sensibilità rinascimentale.
Nel Rinascimento in tutta Europa, ma in modo più intenso a Firenze, ritornò di moda Platone, e oggi capiremo perché.
Ciao, eccoci alla prma puntata. Bruno inizia a ricordare il ritorno in Italia e la denuncia da parte di Mocenigo. Iniziamo a scoprire i protagonisti della denuncia ed i capi d'accusa.

We speak about illusion, magic, and reality with magical experience designer Ferdinando Buscema. He can make stuff disappear, find your card anywhere in the deck, and read your mind. He is, in short, a magician. But he is also, like Apuleius, Iamblichus, Ficino, and Crowley before him, a philosopher of magic.
Sophia Howlett is the President for the School for International Training. In this episode we discuss her book Re-evaluating Pico: Aristotelianism, Kabbalism, and Platonism in the Philosophy of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, alongside discussions on Ficino, God, and Kabbalah.

This week Jeff and Dave take a sustained look at an-oft discussed but ill-defined notion: what, if anything, gives people dignity? Drawing on the work of famous, late scholar Charles Trinkaus (The Scope of Renaissance Humanism), the guys trace this notion from Cicero through the Greek and Latin fathers and into the trecento. Thanks to the diligent spadery of Chuck T., you'll enjoy a who's who of what's what when it comes to key themes and ideas surrounding what separates man (and woman) from animal, the noble brute. In the end it all comes down to Petrarch, Ficino, Mirandola, and Peter 'Et' Cetera of Chicago fame. The jinx here may be lower than normal, but the substance is swole. Don't miss it!
In this episode we cover the curious tale of Marsilio Ficino who translated the Corpus Herticum into Latin at the behest of his patron Cosimo de' Medici. We look at his magical belief system and how he reconciled this alongside his Catholicism. We also touch on how Ficino helped to pioneer the philosophy of religious syncretism and ask the question of whether or not Ficino could have laid some of the groundwork for ecumenism in the Catholic church. Also discussed is some of the occult imagery that exists in the Vatican. So if you have any interest in the Catholic Church, Hermeticism, the occult, the House of Medici or strangeness in general this may be the podcast for youGeorges Jones-Cup of LonelinessJohnny Cash-If I Give my SoulHank Williams-I Saw The Light

On this episode of Mythic Existence, host Jack Daly covers a fascinating topic: the different types of magic. We discuss the difficulties involved with defining magic, trace the development of European medieval magic, and read excerpts from little-known texts like the Three Books on Life and the Arbatel of Magic. Magic is a fascinating topic that demands to be studied. Learning about a culture's attitudes towards magic can shed important light into their values and how they view the structure of reality. So go ahead and read your Ficino, and maybe you can obtain life from the heavens.

Without a doubt, one moment that pretty much everyone is in agreement is absolutely seminal to the Occult, is when in 1471 Marcilio Ficino published the Corpus Hermeticum which he had recently translated. This triggered an explosion within Esoteric thought at the time, but also still right up to today. Finally, Hermeticism was something we could point a finger at and say that it was important. Since the publication, Hermeticism has had its ups and downs, but one thing is for sure- it is not going away any time soon. In this concluding episode, Erik Arneson and Sam Block go through Hermeticism over the last 600 years.
Miguel de Cervantes' daring in literary experimentation was both perfectly suited to the time in which he lived, and an exponential step forward in literary art, specifically in the genre he perfected, the modern novel.

Our guest Brian Copenhaver joins us to explain how Ficino and other Renaissance philosophers thought about magic.
Ficino, Pico, Cardano, and other Renaissance thinkers debate whether astrology and magic are legitimate sciences with a foundation in natural philosophy.
I am joined by Dan Attrell, the massive mind behind the Modern Hermeticist YouTube channel, which includes the vast and ever-growing Encyclopedia Hermetica. He is currently working on his PhD in Renaissance history at the University of Waterloo. He has gone out of his way to share tons of his knowledge and learning with his impressive audience, and is also known for translating some amazing materials from Latin. In this episode, we discuss Marsilio Ficino, and in particular Dan’s translation of Ficino’s De Christiana Religione, On the Christian Religion. We discuss many topics and themes in Ficino’s life, including the highest goal of mankind, the immortality of the soul, the nature of reason, the supercelestial world, and the question of whether or not there even was a Platonic academy in Florence. We also attempt to make some sense of the tangled historical events unfolding around Ficino’s life. The Intermission and Beyond We ran into a really bad recording problem in this episode. About 25 minutes in or so, Dan’s Canadian internet connection gave out on us! We had to pick up the conversation the next day. I filled in the gap with a reading from De Christiana Religione that Dan was kind enough to provide. The background music during Dan’s reading is “But We Shall All Be Changed” by Matt Anthony. Thank you, Matt! In part two, Dan and I begin by talking about Aristotle and Plato and their reception in Medeival and Renaissance Europe, but then we get a few tangents, and then we spend time with our favorite mad monk, Savonarola!

In this podcast we have as our guest Angela Voss, senior lecturer at the Faculty of Education of the Canterbury Christ Church University, and Programme Director for the MA in Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred. Her expertise is on Renaissance and Baroque Music and has focused a great part of her research on Marsilio Ficino. In the podcast we discuss the importance and contributions of Ficino to early modern astrology, as well as the position of the history of astrology in academia. For more information on Angela Voss’ work see: https://canterbury.academia.edu/AngelaVoss Some of her publications are: – Marsilio Ficino (North Atlantic Books, Western Esoteric Masters Series, 2006) – Daimonic Imagination: Uncanny Intelligence (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2013), edited with William Rowlandson. – Re-enchanting the Academy (Rubedo Press, 2017), edited with Simon Wilson.
A webinar with Professor Denis Robichaud (University of Notre Dame), originally presented June 30, 2020. Part of our summer webinar series on "Reason and Beauty in Renaissance Christian Thought and Culture," presented in collaboration with the American Cusanus Society In the humanist recovery and study of Platonic thought and texts, Marsilio Ficino (1433-99) was a brilliant luminary. He produced the first translation into Latin of all of Plato's texts and of Plotinus's Enneads, and he translated and commented on numerous other Platonic works. Ficino was also more than a scholar, he was also a philosopher and theologian whose network of students, friends, and correspondents extended far beyond his Florentine home. His philosophical thought fed early modern philosophy for generations but also raised questions of Ficino's orthodoxy. In this webinar, Professor Denis Robichaud (Notre Dame) will discuss Marsilio Ficino's humanist, philosophical, and theological thought.
Angela Voss, PhD, SFHEA is Programme Director for the MA in Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred at Canterbury Christ Church University, UK. In this podcast we discuss:Her interest in the Renaissance philosopher Marsilio FicinoThe relationship between art, religion and scienceWho were the neoplatonists?Neoplatonic ritualThe neoplatonic goalThe prominence of its practiceThe influence of neoplatonic ideas on contemporary esoteric, spiritual and scientific thoughtShe has studied and taught Western esotericism for over twenty years, and is also a musician and an astrologer. Her interest began with the Renaissance philosopher Marsilio Ficino, who was deeply indebted to both Plato and Hermes in his desire to renew the spirit of the Christian religion (see Marsilio Ficino, 2006), and she completed a doctorate on his astrological music therapy in 1992. She is now in the Education Faculty at Canterbury Christ Church, and is working within a transformative learning context, finding ways to bridge esoteric wisdom and reflexive scholarship. She has written extensively on Ficino, the symbolic imagination, music, astrology and divination, and she regards her vocation as a ‘walker between the worlds', of spiritual experience and academic discourse.

Dan Attrell - Canadian-born intellectual historian, classicist and philosopher, also known as ‘The Modern Hermeticist’ - shares about the Latin Polemical Tradition, how converts from Judaism to Christianity debated Talmudic esotericism and theology, and how these debates and anti-Jewish sentiments shaped the thought of Renaissance humanist philosophers Marsilio Ficino and Pico della Mirandola. Dan examines the streaming ribbons of thought how throughout medieval European history, Petrus Alfonsi's converso mysticism and natural philosophy went on to influence many great intellectuals from the monastic and mendicant traditions (such as Joachim of Fiore, Ramon Marti, Paul of Burgos, and Jerome of Santa Fe), culminating in both the Christian interpretation of Kabbalah, and the development of the Christian Cabala itself, among many other topics.►Dan’s excellent YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcluftdk1tuDU71ZdGNpHTA►Dan’s website: https://themodernhermeticist.com/►‘The Disputation’ film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p3WlesJgaI Become a Glitch Bottle patron! ✅►https://www.patreon.com/glitchbottle

Since the publication of his Care of The Soul in 1992, Thomas Moore has been a bestselling author on all matters important to the human being. He has a background as monk, musician, psychologist and practicing psychotherapist with deep connections to Carl Jung, and is very erudite on all of the humanities, making him an ideal guest for Journey Of An Aesthete Podcast. Moore holds Ficino, Erasmus, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson and J S Bach as special influences and attempts to bring their insights into the contemporary period. He is as widely versed in spiritual traditions as he is in the secular liberal arts and in books like Soulmates, The Soul Of Sex, The Re-enchantment Of The World and, currently, Ageless Soul., renders his philosophical commitments in the most beautiful prose. One of his central insights is that what he calls "literalism" is the biggest problem for our world today; consequently, he attempts to heal the effects of this literalism through a more poetic consciousness about all aspects of life. It was certainly an honor to have him as guest on the show.

Dr. Angela Voss and I discuss “A Methodology of the Imagination,” transformative learning, magical and divinatory ways of knowing, balancing the rational and the intuitive, scholarship as initiation, the personal daimon and the daimonic, and Marsilio Ficino’s astrological music therapy. Dr. Angela Voss is Programme Director for the MA in Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred at Canterbury Christ Church University. Previously she was the Director of the MA in the Cultural Study of Cosmology and Divination at Kent. As a graduate student, she was introduced to the writing of the Renaissance philosopher, musician and astrologer, Marsilio Ficino, and became thoroughly immersed in the world of 15th-17th century music and philosophy, then decided to embark on a PhD to explore Ficino’s astrological music therapy - her dissertation was titled: 'Music, Astrology and Magic: the astrological music therapy of Marsilio Ficino and his role as a Renaissance Magus’. She has published numerous papers on Ficino, as well as an edited collection of his astrological writings for North Atlantic Books, Western Esoteric Masters series, and is the author and editor of several other books, including Seeing with Different Eyes: Essays on Astrology and Divination, The Imaginal Cosmos: Astrology, Divination, and the Sacred, Daimonic Imagination: Uncanny Intelligence, and Re-enchanting the Academy. Angela is now moving deeper into the territory of symbolism and the imaginal, exploring statue-magic, the spiritual dimensions of music, and past-life therapy, ancient Greek mysteries and the metaphysics of divination. She is engaged in creating a framework for the MA within Transformative Learning, linking esoteric and wisdom traditions with soul-work and consciousness raising within the academy. -- Notes -- Dr. Voss on Academia - http://canterbury.academia.edu/AngelaVoss Myth, Cosmology, and the Sacred MA - https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/study-here/courses/postgraduate/myth-cosmology-and-the-sacred-19-20.aspx - Cover art/logo design by Jeff Wolfe Music by Poddington Bear
You and your ancestor from 1,000 years ago have almost nothing in common. Your clothes are different. Your worship rituals are different. Your thoughts about the opposite sex are definitely different. Almost the only similarity is that both of you are driven to obtain food. In fact, one could say that civilization itself began in the quest for food. Epicure Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin said it best: “Gastronomy governs the whole life of man.” In this episode, Professor Ken Albala of the University of the Pacific puts the subject of food and its importance in history on the table. Ken has studied widely on the types of cuisine that would be featured at a Roman feast, a medieval banquet, or a Renaissance Italian civic celebration. He’s ground Italian flour to make the sort of bread one would eat in Pompeii. He’s made stewed rabbit in a homemade clay pot the way an Elizabethean peasant would. He hasn’t tried field-mouse-on-a-stick (a popular Roman delicacy) but probably not for lack of trying. In this episode we discuss How Roman food reflected social rank, wealth, and sophistication The Middle Ages produced some of history’s most outlandish and theatrical presentations of food, such as gilded boars’ heads; “invented” creatures, mixing parts of different animals; and cooked peacocks spewing flames. The sophistication and complexity of Renaissance-era food culture in the writings of Platina, Ficino, and Messisbugo, and the extravagance of banquets at the court of Ferrara. The aesthetics of French 17th-century cookery, based in refinement and pureness of flavors and study four Gallic cookbooks that revolutionized culinary history. In the 21st century, the phenomenon of “molecular gastronomy”—technology-enhanced food creations designed to titillate and amaze the palate.
This week we speak to musician, scholar and astrologer, Dr Angela Voss. Dr Voss is Programme Director for the ‘Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred’ MA at Canterbury Christ Church Cathedral University and is the author of the western esoteric masteries series book on Marsilio Ficino. Ficino is one of the most fascinating people in European history, a cornerstone of the Renaissance and the story of western magic. So this is a great chat.

Dick Russell Getting to Know James Hillman Join TNS Host Michael Lerner in conversation with Dick Russell, author of the first volume of what promises to be the definitive biography of the psychologist James Hillman (1926-2011), the founder of the field of archetypal psychology. Hillman studied and taught at the Jung Institute in Zurich. He went on to critique Jung while also acknowledging Jung’s critical importance to his thinking. After leaving the Jung Institute, he discovered the Renaissance Florentine Marsilio Ficino (1433-99), who had translated Plato into Latin and whose Florentine academy sought to emulate Plato’s academy. Ficino was among the important influences on Hillman’s archetypal psychology. Hillman’s landmark Re-Visioning Psychology was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1976. This is one of an ongoing series of New School conversations on archetypal psychology and archetypal studies. Dick Russell Dick has published eleven books, ranging from environmental subjects to the genius of African-Americans and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The Life and Ideas of James Hillman, Volume One: The Making of a Psychologist was published in 2013. The authorized biography emerged out of a friendship between Russell and Hillman, who granted many hours of interviews but gave the writer complete freedom to reach and publish his own conclusions. Hillman is not well known in the United States (his book The Soul’s Code was his only best seller). But among those interested in depth psychology, his more than twenty books have been a major contribution. For anyone with a serious interest in Hillman and archetypal psychology, Russell’s biography is required reading. Find out more about The New School at tns.commonweal.org.
The first comprehensive discussion of love in Western literature was provided by Plato, who using the Greek word eros, left us a book called the Symposium, which featured a number of speakers at a drinking party, each of whom gave a speech about the nature of love. Plato seems to say that love starts as a sexual passion and that it gradually transforms itself into a union in beauty, or to quote him in “the vast ocean of the beautiful". The term Platonic Love was never used by him, but was coined by a Platonist almost 2000 years later, Ficino. Unlike eros in Plato, Platonic Love is asexual, but equally involves the idea that the object of love is some kind of mystery. Its purpose is in the end a negation of eros.
It is hard to imagine that almost a thousand years went by during which virtually nobody in the West knew anything about the majority of Greek philosophy. In retrospect, this period has rightly been dubbed the Dark Ages. But all that was about to change when the East and the West met in Florence, Italy in an attempt to heal the rift between the Orthodox and the Catholic churches. Florence at the dawn of the Renaissance was, much like Alexandria a thousand years earlier, a melting pot of cultures and religions. And once again this kind of multicultural environment was exactly what was necessary for the Hermetica to resurface in Western Europe. The Hermetic writings proved an invaluable treasure to the thinkers of the late 15th and early 16th century, providing them with the terminology and the symbols to clothe their inquisitive thoughts about Man, God and the Universe. Two men in particular stand out as having had particular importance in this process; Marcilio Ficino and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Ficino was the intellectual central figure of the newly formed Academy, Pico his student. Both made significant contributions to the development of Western thought; Ficino with his brilliant orations and countless translations of lost works, Pico with his unwavering faith in the human pursuit of knowledge. Both were magi; Ficino invoked the seven Hermetic spheres and clothed their essence in music, Pico sought to prove the divinity of Christ through the Kabbala.
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Renaissance obsession with Magic. In 1461 one of the powerful Medici family's many agents carried a mysterious manuscript into his master's house in Florence. It purported to be the work of an ancient Egyptian priest-king and magician called Hermes Trismegistus. When Cosimo de Medici saw the new discovery, he ordered his translations of Plato to be stopped so that work could begin on the new discovery at once. Hermes promised secret knowledge to his initiates and claimed to have spoken with the spirits and turned base metal into gold. His ideas propelled natural magic into the mainstream of Renaissance intellectual thought, as scholars and magi vied to understand the ancient secrets that would bring statues to life and call the angels down from heaven.But why did magic appeal so strongly to the Renaissance mind? And how did the scholarly Magus, who became a feature of the period, manage to escape prosecution and relate his work to science and the Church?With Peter Forshaw, Lecturer in Renaissance Philosophies at Birkbeck, University of London; Valery Rees, Renaissance historian and a translator of Ficino's letters; Jonathan Sawday, Professor of English Studies at the University of Strathclyde.
