I spoke with Jonathan Pageau on this episode. We covered ancient stories, good and evil, Disney, issues of hyperpartisanship in the US political system, magic, Halloween, and conservative philosophy. Enjoy!
Jonathan Pageau is a professional artist, public speaker, educator, and writer from Quebec, Canada. He carves Eastern Orthodox icons and designs other traditional images and products, and as the chief editor of the Orthodox Arts Journal, he has written extensively on religious symbolism. He recently started a publishing company, Symbolic World Press, which is set to publish a series of fairy tale books, the first of which is The Tale of Snow White and the Widow Queen. The Symbolic World website also hosts its own blog for contributors to write articles on symbolism, and a community forum to facilitate and cultivate discussion. Jonathan also hosts several online courses on icon carving, and more recently a Universal History course on Beowulf presented with Richard Rohlin. And in February 2024, the first Symbolic World Summit will take place in Florida.
On YouTube and The Symbolic World podcast, Jonathan explores how ancient symbolic patterns inform our experiences of the world and can re-enchant contemporary life.
