About this episode

Dr. Gal Sofer discusses the Hygromanteia, Solomonic manuscripts, and his upcoming book on Solomonic magic.

Why should we challenge the assumption that the Greek magical text, the Hygromanteia, is really the source of the Key of Solomon? Why is Frankenstein’s Monster a better way to look at the collection of ‘Solomonic’ manuscripts? What is a ‘Solomonic network’ with ‘genes’, ‘nodes’ and ‘clusters’?
