Behind the Scenes Look: Witchcraft, Gender, & Marxism
🕑 Added 2018-10-14 10:30:13 +0000 UTC My next video (Working title Witchcraft, Gender, & Marxism) is scheduled for the 26th of October and it's going to be A̞͎͒̐ ͉̆E̻̣̟͑ͩ͒ S Tͦ H͈̳ͫͩ ̩̐E͎͗ T̗̬̗̏ͨ̓ ͔ͤI ͎̤C̮̥̟I went to an exhibit on witchcraft at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford to get ideas for costumes and the look, and made this necklace that looks like an evil meteorite from Mars.
That's a potato as the centrepiece, wrapped in masking tape, painted black, then studded with nails. Supposedly some medieval witches would use potatoes or lemons to represent human hearts! I used chicken thighs for the bones, boiled and bleached. Currently the whole thing is sitting in my freezer to keep the potato from rotting.
Oh, and I have a new coloured light in my room now, as you can see by the green!

The Halloween is even in mine Philosophy Tube! I can't get away from it! I can't wait for this season to over. But ok... if we must.

This is everything I want and more
Green lights? Great! I was thinking you'd start lighting all in pink... (he said with a smile)
Caliban and the witch inspired?
Speaking of Rev Left, Breht's co-host on The Guillotine, Dr. Bones, has a lot of excellent writing on leftism and the Occult.
Not sure if you are familiar with Revolutionary Left Radio but they are doing a spinoff podcast about weird leftist occult stuff called Black Banner Magic, you would probably dig it.

Halloween appropriate!

Lisa, the whole thing is on YouTube or iTunes if you look for it!

I would have eaten that potato... (also given that ‘medieval’ is a term generally used to describe European history and not global history, and the potato was brought to Europe at the beginning of the modern period, when Queen Lizzy I shat herself trying to eat the leaves, it seems that your slaughter of a potato was even more unnecessary) I’ll forgive you when the video is inevitably fantastic, but you’d be on thin ice if it was a Kumara

I mentioned this on Twitter, but if you've not already you should totally check out the album 1612 Underture by the eccentronic research council featuring Maxine Peak, it's a concept album with spoken word about the Pendle witch trials (I'm sure they'd let you use some of the tracks if you asked nicely!) <a href="https://youtu.be/FPoslbFXbHo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/FPoslbFXbHo</a>
