Medieval Magic and History January course sneak peek
I thought I'd share this sneak peek into the medieval magic and history course I have on the cooker for January... here's a beautiful blustery little BBC video from the cliffs of Cornwall for you. It's poet Simon Armitage discussing the 14th century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74glI1lg1CQ It's a pretty male view of magic and history, of course, that misses a lot of the female side... but don't worry, we'll be digging into what women got up to, too! Also of interest to the course, this interesting archaeological find! Nearly the whole bronze age throughout Europe relied on trading tin with Cornwall (then known as Dumnonia) -- did you know that? https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/19/uk/cornwall-tin-israel-intl-scli-gbr/index.html https://www.timesofisrael.com/groundbreaking-study-ancient-tin-ingots-found-in-israel-were-mined-in-england/ Here's the signup link! https://www.heartsthroughhistory.com/workshops/early-medieval-
