I grew up nominally Baptist. But not really. My Dad was in a Baptist church in Texas, sang in the choir, taught Sunday school, and so on. My Mom’s family apparently would apparently sit around the family electric organ with other musical instruments and sing hymns and other religious songs.

I always had the sense that something might […] … Continue reading…Exorcising Neo-Platonism 2: Modalities & Magical Images
