This episode starts with an even more familiar symbol, and one especially relevant to this podcast, and analyzes it in biblical and alchemical thought and literature. That symbol is the garden, as in the title of the podcast, Hermetic Garden. I discuss a few poems, Fantastic Beasts, and Harry Potter primarily, and I analyze mandrakes, magical beasts, and what they are and mean.
