Chapter 3
Professor Emeritus: Logos Pendinsky is giving a speech on his epoch-making work: Magic and Myth in the Renaissance.
Renaissance and Magic was a period in European History, marking the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity covering the 15th and 16th centuries.
The paintings of Michel Angelo, the David Nude, the work of Leonardo Davinci, the enigmatic smile of Mona Lisa is all renaissance works of art. The dramas of Shakespeare can also be ascribed to this period.
The painting David, a realism of resemblance has become a great inspiration for gay literature.
The smile of Monalisa can be the artist’s own search for the aura of the esoteric of feminism and could be interpreted as having libidinal notions. Is it a search for the aura of eroticism? Yes, it has many levels of interpretation.
Chapter 4
The intellectual basis of Renaissance comes from the Philosophy of Humanism (profound love of the human and the humane) and the rediscovery of Greek Philosophy. Some famous writers are Dante who wrote the Divine Comedy and Machiavelli who wrote the Prince.
Chapter 5
Renaissance-era used magical practices whereby magicians do activities or (charisms) that are thoughts associated with rituals so that there is a divine interference in nature to get things accomplished. Thoughts or charisms are actually thought-things that accomplish reality in life. The earliest known usage of magic comes from the Polynesian religion, known as Kahuna Mana where Kahuna stands for a shaman or warlock or Sorcerer or a witch doctor and Mana stands for the spiritual power that pervades all over the Universe. The magic continues to have a religious and medicinal role in many cultures today.
Western culture has a bias towards Magic and they equate magicians to quacks and fools.
It is through Magic that an intuitive and empathic self emerges from the divine to the human.
Magic of the Renaissance is practiced widely in Wiccan religions (pertaining to witches), Satanism of La Vey, and also Neo-pagan Religions.

A thunderous clap reigns in the auditorium.
Chapter 7
It was Friday the 13th of December morning, and the weather in Chicago is chilly and snowy. A cool breeze was straying like feathers of a bird on the flight. Friday the 13th, according to the occult symbolism of Western Philosophy spells bad luck. The fear of 13 is also called (triskaidekaphobia). Snow lay on the ground with the ghost of an appearance. The fallen leaves on the ground grinned in anxious ecstasy.
