Patrick Curry has been a lecturer at the universities of Bath Spa (teaching the MA in Cultural Astronomy and Astrology) and Kent (teaching the MA in the Cultural Study of Cosmology and Divination). He has published books and papers on the history of astrology, the philosophy of divination, the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, and environmental philosophy. His most recent book is Enchantment: Wonder in Modern Life (Floris, 2019). In this session recorded in 2021, Patrick talks about the fundamental human experience of wonder. With a mixture of personal examples and respectful theory, the talk considers what it is and isn’t: its characteristics, conditions, limits, and dynamics.

About this episode: In this episode, Dr Louise Livingstone reads an excerpt from Paul Broadhurst and Hamish Miller's best-selling book, 'The Sun and the Serpent'. This book follows the Michael and Mary ley line that runs from the farthest South West corner of Cornwall out into East Anglia. In their writing, Broadhurst and Miller explore how our ancient ancestors may have used ley lines to locate their sacred sites and activate their energies at key times of the year to promote fertility and harmony in the landscape and the people.
