Todd Campbell is an eso-researcher who writes a blog entitled, “Through the Looking Glass.” He joins us to discuss the historical events that have occurred on, or around, the date of April 19. Todd synchromystically connects many of these modern occurrences with mythology, resulting in some interesting symbolical resonances.
Specifically, he refers to the goddess Ceres and the Roman festival of Cerelia in relation to current events. We get into discussing the Virginia Tech massacre, this being a perfect illustration of the type of unsettling and often violent history of these days of the year.
Due to some extreme audio problems at the start of our conversation, I was forced to excise a portion, resulting in a rather abrupt beginning. As the dialogue opens, Todd and I are discussing author William S. Burroughs and how his view of the universe spoke deeply to Todd and his own feelings about the present and future of our world.
