Dragon Turtles and Elementals
Today we talk about dragon turtles, various sea monsters pretending to be islands and elementals. Yes, all elementals. Then we dip into the elemental theory of alchemy, and we promise, it makes just as much sense as anything else in alchemy! We also discuss Disney movies, pig milk, and plague king Johnny Boss/Ianibeg.
