I recommend reading C.S. Lewis's "The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature".
In a world where everything feels cold, empty, and digital, could an ancient way of seeing reality make us happier? In this video, we explore why you'd be happier with a medieval mindset—a worldview full of imagination, wonder, and meaning. Discover how medieval people saw the universe as an ordered creation filled with divine purpose, fairies, goblins, and cosmic music.
From the celestial spheres and medieval cosmology to folklore about mythical creatures, this journey reveals what we've lost in our modern obsession with science and certainty. We'll dive into medieval beliefs about the cosmos, faith, and the unseen world, and why their perspective brought a sense of humility and awe that's missing today.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
