Trivia
For all the Wicked fans out there...
I stumbled across this quote from The Cambridge History of Renaissance Philosophy when I was doing some reading for my Early Modern Magic class. Odd title for a class, I admit. A more accurate name would be The Occult, Witches, and Religious Beliefs of the British Renaissance. When I read this clip, I knew that I needed to post this because Marcie and Devon would get a kick out of it.
(Discussing Henricus Cornelius Agrippa's work in the occult) Some of the medieval works in which Agrippa sought his arcane wisdom had marginal, even scandalous reputations in the Renaissance. The most notorious was "the book published under the name of Picatrix", the Latin title for the Arabic grimoire only recently confirmed as a source for Marsilio Ficino's refined theorizing on magic as well as Agrippa's more sensational compendium on the occult.
Cool, huh?

Whoa... KJ. Weird. Yes, very cool!
Guess what? Hans said that I've become a singer since I was in Chicago with you. Apparently he's noticed that I go around the house belting out the tunes from the Wicked soundtrack night and day now.
