This episode takes a historical drill directly back into Mesopotamian History so that we might consider a Babylonian's conception of divine order in the universe. How this conception of order affected Babylonians' lives is explored, and how this conception of order affects our lives is explored. Topics: Astrology, Enuma Elish, Zodiac, Power of Words Full disclosure, I spend a high percentage of this episode in digression upon related topics rather than directly talking about Babylonians, but I believe the digressions helped fill out the topic. ////////////////// Sources ////////////////// Bobrick, Benson, The Fated Sky: Astrology in History, 2005, Simon & Schuster Cutrone, Carolyn, "Why Friday the 13th Scares Away Business", Inc.com, https://www.inc.com/carolyn-cutrone/why-friday-the-13th-scares-away-business.html [ I read this and other articles to determine my opinion on Friday the 13th at 34:15, though I don't really quote any hard numbers.
