Welcome back to the lab! In this episode the hosts dig into a hidden influential scientist turned mystic who had a huge impact on both our understanding of modern-day science and traditional witchcraft practices. Emanuel Swedenborg was a prodigy and striking example of a renaissance man with varying interests. He was the first to propose the proto-neuron theory, the structure of an atom nearly a century before its discovery and coined the term correspondence that is so widely used within the spiritual community today.We fell across Swedenborg during a previous episode and found him incredibly fascinating, so please join us as we dig into him further, unpacking his influences and trying to understand the cosmology he lived by.Resources:Swedenborg Foundation Website: https://swedenborg.com/emanuel-swedenborg/A System of Occidental Occultism: https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4046&context=ocj (has some unique insights into Swedenborg)Swedenborg: An Introduction to His Life and Ideas: https://www.amazon.com/Swedenborg-Introduction-His-Life-Ideas/dp/1585429384
