On Thursday February February 12th, 2015 the Hermetic Hour with host

Poke Runyon will present a discussion on the late medieval Dutch

surrealist painter Hieronymus Bosch whose remarkable works have not yet

become the secret code behind a Dan Brown novel (hint Bro. Dan) but

would certainly provide a great background for such a story. His most

famous work "The Garden of Earthly Delights" is a phantasmagoria a of

bizarre and nightmarish symbolism. Which scholars relate to the Gonostic

sect of the Adamites -- a cult of mystic nudists who were trying to

recreate the Garden of Eden. Super Catholic Spain had taken over the

Netherlands in those days and the Inquisition was burning the Dutch

Adamites as fast as Bosch could paint them but the King of Spain was

Bosch's biggest fan, which probably kept Bosch alive.So you can look at

some great Bosch graphics on your computer while you listen to us

recount the tale of the Devil's painter.
