A little clutch of links for your midweek perusal:
- Age of Alchemy over at Google Arts & Culture: virtual exhibit leaning towards art about and of alchemists rather than alchemy itself.
- The Salem Witch Trials: Reckoning and Reclaiming: physical exhibit at Salem MA’s Peabody Essex Museum, it runs through March of next year but if you can’t make it there’s a lot of content at the site, including podcasts, photos, and my favorite, document transcriptions.
- Webcomic featuring classic cases from Project Blue Book: it tickles me when history meets comics but even more so when it’s weird history. First chapter, on the Betty and Barney Hill abduction case, is free.
- Esoterica [YouTube] – doctor of religious studies and philosophy Justin Sledge produces videos on the history of magic, alchemy, and the occult and digs through all the jargon to make it accessible to the layperson. His video on Edward Kelley is one of the more even-handed biographies I’ve seen, and emphasizes Kelley’s alchemy over his mediumship.
