    I feel as I did when my primary schoo; teacher gave me a gold star! Thanks Kate for applying your great scholarship and analytic mind to the theme and in the process revealing more about the ancient mind than I expected. And your videos are so well illustrated and engaging. I so much appreciate your work.

      Thanks for the recommendation! I knew it would be a fun topic, but I had no clue how deep and rich a subject it actually is.

    Still watching Kate but WOW! It is amazing how much work you put into these pieces. Where were you when I wanted to know this stuff in grade school? You would have been an amazingly popular teacher. I am certain of it!

    I think I read somewhere that the elements were also linked to the 5 platonic solids?

    Hmm could there be a connection to the early known metals like (lead, copper, tin, gold, silver, iron, ..) which then developed into alchemy?

    • @hearthofhaemonia

      I haven't come across anything like that in my research, but I can't say for sure that it wasn't there. Metalworking usually falls under Hephaestus/Vulcan's jurisdiction, so I'm guessing that workable metal would be lumped in with fire. Just a guess though

    I would like to ask for a video of how the individual crystals and minerals have been assigned their supposed magical/"healing"/other effects by people with magical thinking. How far back in history can the use of stones and crystals be traced? And is there a consensus among people who practice magic today as to which crystals have which effects and for what reason?
    Does this have anything to do with (Hippocrates?) who believed that the similarity in shape and color between an organ or disease in the body and a herb/plant indicated the effect of the plant on that organ/defect?

      Great question. I'd love to do a video on this topic, but there really isn't much from Greek and Roman stuff. They did believe that amethyst prevented drunkenness (and today it's still - dubiously I think - associated with breaking addictions). I'll have to look into this more! Thanks for the suggestion.

    What about "light" ? were this ever considered to be one of the roots of matter for the ancients?

    • @hearthofhaemonia
      @hearthofhaemonia  8 месяцев назад +1

      As far as I know, "light" was a property or product of "Fire." But Aristotle had some questions about whether the bodies in the sky we see are actually "Fire" or something else. That's in the next episode!

    But one day Empedocles vanished. But I still believe he will return to save the animals.
