Thank you so much for this. Thomas Taylor wrote many great works, including this dissertation. He reminds me a lot of Marsilio Ficino. It really is a special endeavour to devote your time to Thomas Taylor’s works and translations! Thank you!
I'd love it, as I'm sure others would, too....if you did a biography and analysis of Thomas Taylor. He was also very influential in his circle and he introduced Blake to Neoplatonic ideas, that clearly resonated in his thought and poetry. Excellent reading, by the way.
I've been strongly considering doing a little thing on Taylor's influence, particularly on Blake and people like Manly P. Hall. I will consider harder.
Loving me some Thomas Taylor. A particular.odern day Astro-Theologist Turned Me on to him several years back. Since, he's easily become a go-to in reference and study. Thank you Dan, for bringing this work and patiently await I, future works you may present to Us. His partial and incomplete interpretations Work are most profound Imo. May we find them & see their brilliance.✌️
thank you sir!! i love when you cover source documents... well the english translations of those documents rather..right? either way, love your audio books!!!! lolol One Love!1
Sometimes I think of recording things in Latin but I think the algodaemons would punish me for putting out a video nobody would watch all the way through. I did it a while back with Chapter 1 of Giordano Bruno's De Magia years back but it didn't really take off. (I also used restored classical pronunciation for a 16th c. work, and I think that could have annoyed some people). This particular Taylor text has quite a bit of Latin and Greek in it, but I decided against reading it because it would have lengthened everything by another hour, and he provides his own English translations after each instance of classical languages anyhow. Parts 2 and 3 come out today and tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing! Love the mystery traditions. My son's father's line ties in with Bacchus while mine/my father's Apollo. Going to be using some of these traditions in teaching/ homeschooling with my son when he gets older. He has sun in Leo conjunct his north node and mercury in Virgo conjoined his Jupiter, hopefully a future philosopher king to come xx
thank you! Your reading is easy on the ears and very useful. If Im not mistaken I believe you can read in latin also. Can you point me to any such postings where you read in dactylic hexameter?
Does anyone know where is it that Platho makes this reference to spectre-like beings looking like dogs? As far as I know there is no book by him by the name "The Oracles"
Thomas Taylor in the Hymns e Orpheus have I just found. Data on Orpheus are scarce and if you have any of those works, I would be greatful to hear Any. Thanking you with gratitude for your committed work.
Thw ergot theory re the kykeon really doesn't answer a lot of the fundamental questions anyway. The Road to Eleusis doesn't suggest that it's the entirety of the experience.
I'm a supporter of the psychoactive kykeon theory; I just think lately there's been a lot more attention on that than on the Eleusinian theology, and for this reason reading Taylor is a breath of fresh air.
@@TheModernHermeticist Yeah I agree; context, suggestion and prior conditioning were probably more important to deliver such a compelling theurgic impression. Also, I'm a big fan congrats on your PhD!
It's definitely not the entirety of the experience, the plays mentioned that would take place during the initiation would play a very important role in shaping the experience, as well as the language being used and an already deep familiarity with localized myth and the way different myths intertwine while not necessarily telling the same story would flesh out what was being shown. When it comes to things like ayahuasca it's said the person imbibing it will often be taken into the landscape where the ingredients are being collected, and a relation is made between the plant and a snake that lives in the same area which creates a link in the mind that influences how the spirit of the plant appears to you. In this example, the form of a serpent with a feminine presence. This has always stuck with me as likely being extremely important to the teachings of the Mysteries, but together with the imagery in the plays on a more immense level to remove you from your base societies collective iconography. 🙏
To expand on this from a Jungian perspective if one dared, and is a great place to begin understanding the mechanisms behind the Mysteries, the society you live in has fed you base archetypes that are reflected off the anima and animus. This is why some people see aliens, or elves, or large hairy man like beings. These are replaced during the initiation. To further expand, some initiation were taken when one was to leave his homeland for the sea, or a journey to a new society, and I personally am of the opinion this is because when you journey somewhere you have never been with no familiarity like a dense woodland, an open ocean, or death, reality becomes much less grounded, and you must be prepared for the projections* and reflections that will be thrown across your own psychic landscape.

Beautiful, Thomas Taylor should recieve much more praise for his invaluable translations and interpretations of platonic philosophy
I'mma keep grinding away at recording his major contributions. This was his doctoral dissertation.
@@TheModernHermeticist Thanks so much Dan.
nevill goddard i am) another perspective of how to read scriptures..
More people needs to read Thomas Taylor. Invaluable message
Thanks for doing this great service. You make YT a better place.
Soul is not jailed to matter, but is the salvation for the matter.

Bon appétit

Another great one.
Thanks again!

I have an old talk on Homer's Odyssey that has some Greek readings in the meter, check that one out.
IO, The Great Mother! IO The Holy Daughter!
Who wouldn't give all he has to attend the Eleusinian mysteries and be initiated.
Thanks again
Thanks Bildgesmythe
Could an image source be added? Thx!
If this does not frighten the hell out of soul it will be a difficult life there

Will we ever unravel the mystery of the mysteries?!

It makes sense, but it gets too much attention, there's a lot more interesting mysteries about the eleusis than "LOOK BRO LSD TERRANCE MCKENNA XD"

To be fair it was written over two centuries ago. Cheers.
