Vedic Interview Sunday / "Different" Signed Books
🕑 Added 2023-06-02 18:20:56 +0000 UTCDon't forget that we'll have an interview with Michael Fiden, a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Texas, talking about the Vedas--their language, monsters, and demons--on Sunday, at 10:00 a.m. Mountain time. This should be a pretty fascinating talk about a really old branch of the Indo-European tree. The Zoom link is here(https://cuboulder.zoom.us/j/93413971367) and the passcode is 436883 (yes, I double-checked both).
Also, if you've never ordered a signed paperback copy of the Poetic Edda from Boulder Book Store, there's something a very tiny bit unique about the last batch of two dozen or so that I signed there in May. I can't guarantee that you'd get one of these subtly "different" ones if you ordered it right now, but if you've thought about ordering one, maybe that little tinge of subtle special-ness might intrigue you to do it now.
Otherwise I hope you all are well. All the best for now,
Jackson Crawford

You're welcome!
I just wanted to say the interview with Fiden was extremely good. It's hard to find straight historical information on Vedic culture at times, since many accounts suffer the same issues Egyptian material does. That is too many 19th Century hangovers, i.e. silly theories created over a hundred years ago with little solid evidence behind them, but often historians include elements of them in expositions. Thank you for this and just to express an interest in future Vedic (or Indian more generally) material.
Very interesting topic, especially because apart from reading a few stories taken from Hindu mythology in school, I don't know much of anything about that PIE branch.
