We discuss quite a bit in this lively episode, it’s finally the long-awaited “Hoofs & Horns” conversation we’ve been promising. But before we get there, we talk about (challenge?) the popular idea of enchantment and the Medieval cosmology. Even if we’re struggling to see beauty these days, “Beauty still perceives us,” Jack reminds. We open up Seth’s Poetry Garage, and he allows us to see a Sonnet (not a Sonata) he’s been tinkering on. In turn, Jack shares several meaningful drawings of Walking Man with horns—along with a recent drawing of John Moriarty with cameo of Orion. As usual, Jack is full of (monstrous) surprises, and Sam tries his best to keep up with him and Seth. Take a look at the chapter headings below to see the ground we cover.
