Hey, clever people. Can anyone send me an audio recording with the accepted scholarly pronunciation of Lewis’ mock-early-modern English: “It did vtterlie outweigh and ouergoe all the clam jamfrey and whymperinges of the rakehellie auctours in these latter daies, as the Eliots, Poundes, Lawrences, Audens, and the like” (CL II 11/16/42).

What did J. R. R. Tolkien mean by "Recovery"?
Tolkien wrote about "Recovery" in his essay "On Fairy-Stories." What did he mean by this word? #Tolkien #reading #books #TolkienTuesday #words #definitions #Inklings

Here's a recording of my talk "Occult Initiation in THAT HIDEOUS STRENGTH," which I gave at the Inkling Folk Fellowship recently: https://youtu.be/QYsse4j8UsI.
Occult Initiation in "That Hideous Strength"
It was a great first day in Narnia class. We talked about CSL's life, longing, pictures, training the imagination, esotericism, evacuees, and archetypes.
Yesterday, a pastor told me he won't share info about my Narnia class or Film Night with his congregation because my ideas (unspecified) would be a bad influence on his church. There I go again, misbehaving and being unmanageable. At this rate, I'm in danger of making history.
Come and take my DANGEROUS class about Narnia IF YOU DARE!
Condemned by the clergy, shunned by the sensitive, full of lions and tigers and heresy, oh my!!
#Homeschool parents! This class would be great for teaching yourself all about the nuances of Narnia so you can in turn adapt and teach the concepts to your kids: https://wyrdhoard.com/lww-class/ #homeschooling
I have more good news! If you want to take my class on THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE for ADULTS but can't make some of the sessions--recordings will be available afterwards! Today is the last day to register--class starts tomorrow--so get on over there ASAP. https://wyrdhoard.com/lww-class/
