Holy Blood, Holy Grail
Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, Henry Lincoln
Henry Lincoln
Richard Leigh
The book, written by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln, presents a controversial hypothesis that Jesus Christ did not die on the cross but lived to marry Mary Magdalene and father children. These children, according to the authors, became part of the Merovingian bloodline in southern France. The book delves into the history of the Knights Templar, the Priory of Sion, and other secret societies, suggesting they were involved in protecting and promoting this bloodline. Despite its provocative claims, the book has been criticized by scholars for lacking historical evidence and being classified as pseudohistory[2][5][5].

In episode 467 astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best do a deep dive into the meaning of the 4th house in astrology, and examine the birth charts of more than 50 notable figures who have the ruler of the Ascendant in the 4th in order to demonstrate what the house means.
The fourth house is traditionally said to signify topics such as: home, parents, family, private life, secrets, the past, death, and matters after death.
We open the episode by talking about the significations of the fourth house in detail, and discussing the way that it was conceptualized both in ancient astrology and in more recent times.
Afterwards the rest of the episode is focused on looking at examples of people who have the ruler of the Ascendant in the fourth house, and these have been arranged into groups that concentrate on specific significations associated with the 4th house.
After that we have some brief concluding remarks before wrapping up.
