On a side note; do you have any recommended reading on the angelic names of the Planetary Gods? I saw you likened Saturn to Cassiel and Jove to Zadkiel. That would be very interesting and it's hard to find more scholarly sources on astrology.
I find that the changes of the seasons draws me towards different music (autumn is the time for melancholy atmospheric black metal). Unless I've missed it, music is one of the few parts of mystical experience you haven't addessed so far on A Perennial DIgression. Any chance we'll get a piece on it in the future?
What do you think is defective with Josiah Trenham and Bishop Barron? Early on in my journey to the faith, I devoured his videos and saw him catch lots of flak for promoting hopeful universalism. Also, I don't know much about Josiah Trenham but I've been to the Church he is pastor of in Riverside a few times and his homilies were all good. Generally following the theme of not being too hard on yourself and and trusting in God's mercy, etc.
This is one of your best yet in my humble opinion. Thanks for living and writing as a part of your living.
This was fantastic.
