Thomas the Rhymer: Poet, Prophet, and Ambassador to Elfland (Totally Awesome History) Robertus Magnus 2017-09-05 | In this episode we take a look at Scotland’s poet and prophet, Thomas the Rhymer aka Thomas of Erceldoune, True Thomas, Thomas Learmont (1220? – 1294?). Thomas was very well known in Scotland from the 14th to the end of the 19th century. He is said to have been given the gift of prophecy and a tongue that could never lie after spending 7 years with the Queen of Elfland in her Kingdom. His story is one that speaks to the deep fairy lore that lay at the root of ancient European culture and causes us to wonder, “what if...?”. http://totallyawesomehistory.comTip Jar: paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=ZRELJ74AWM7M8 Facebook: facebook.com/totallyawesomehistoryTwitter: @RobertusMagnus1Patreon: patreon.com/totallyawesomehistory Thomas the Rhymer by Ellen Kushner: amazon.com/Thomas-Rhymer-Ellen-Kushner Perduo: Obadiah Emerson in the Place Where Lost Things Go by Robert E.

Excerpt from There is a place where lost things go (novel by Robert E.

Cross-Correspondences: Evidence of the Afterlife? (Totally Awesome History) Robertus Magnus 2012-06-03 | In this episode of Totally Awesome History we look at the Cross-Correspondences. These were messages purportedly sent to mediums from Frederic W.H. Myers after his death via automatic writing. The interesting thing is that the mediums knew nothing of each other and the messages made no sense on their own. It was only when they were brought together that they did. Furthermore, the messages were made such that only scholars well versed in literature and classics knew their meaning; the mediums had no prior knowledge of this. These have been considered by many as evidence of the afterlife, yet skeptics generally choose to ignore them for some reason.
