Dr. Sledge, I want to sincerely thank you for your content as a whole. I struggle with severe panic attacks that mimic a heart attack very closely. As you can imagine the anxiety and the symptoms can form a pretty nasty feedback loop. Your content and the way you present it is so engaging to me it can pull me out of a spiral that has put me in the emergency room more than once. Im going through a period of time where i dont have insurance and so cant afford my medication. Your content has gotten me through some really terrible times recently and I dont have the words to express how profoundly grateful I am to you and this channel for that. I hesitated to post this because of how personal and uncomfortable this topic is for me but I feel that its important for you to know how deeply your words and acts have positively affected my quality of life and health. Sorry for the rambling nature of this post.

"Crowdsourced Education" is a concept I'd very much love to see catch on. The work you've been doing has been amazingly transformative for me personally and quite amazingly is having ripple effects within several esoteric communities (online and offline) that I frequent. I only just about manage to pay rent n eat month to month and wish I could do more but after all that you've done to support accessible academia this donation of just 2$ is being sent solely to inform you I'll be signing up for your Patreon at the 7.50$ tier (I can't afford to go beyond that). Not to belabour the point but you have my sincere gratitude and highest respect. "Practitioner" is a loose word. In my books anyone who furthers The Great Work is a practitioner but I won't force the title onto you XD It can't be denied you do exactly that though :)

But, I also understand that many people simply cannot financially support a KZbin channel and that makes perfectly good sense given the state of the world. I'm just very blessed that the crowdfunding model is working at this time and I'm able to do this work.

I bought and read all 3 books when Eric Purdue first released his English translation. Navigating the text of Agrippa has been a fun journey and could definitely use your expertise. The first book seriously confused me only later I discovered Agrippa was sourcing other information like from Pliney the Elder. My main point is there's a lot of much help needed to navigate the text and I'm excited for these classes you are putting together.

A friend and I have been doing LIVE readings of this on TikTok. We are now on the last 4 chapters. We read through it from a practitioners approach. But the problem is that so many of his ideas and much of his philosophy come from sources that if you're not an academic, it's hard to fully grasp where he's coming from. So I'm super excited for these lectures.

Dr. Sledge, I want to thank you for all the work you've done here. I've always had a simmering fascination with magic, mysticism, and the occult and I stumbled across this channel from I think the Modern Hermeticist maybe a year or so ago. I recently began working on my masters degree in Near Eastern studies with a focus on the Mesopotamian world, and I plan on my doctoral thesis to be essentially an English language compendium of as much Mesopotamian magic as I can cram in. Plowing through your videos has vastly expanded my understanding of the occult and esoteric and is a consistent inspiration behind work I'm kinda trying to do myself and that I see as highly complementary to my field, and definitely complementary to my interests. So yeah good shit man keep it up.

Wow, very interesting! I don’t know much about Agripa’s philosophy. Fifteenth century was a time of Renaissance. It is definitely my favourite time in history… So since he went to Florence during that time, I wonder if he met with Medici or any Renaissance artists or architect. It feels like it was all so interconnected back then.

Hello Dr. Sledge, thank you for this series. Like you, I am not a practitioner of any forms of occultism or esotericism, but I've been a long-time follower of the channel. I don't even really remember the details of how I got into all of this. If I remember correctly, it was my desire to deepen my studies in theology that led me to want to know more about Kabbalah and some magical texts from an academic view. I liked the way you presented the topics, which also made me watch your other videos on alchemy and other subjects you covered. That's why I'm now also watching this series on Agrippa's occult philosophy. Thank you again. I'm always happy to learn more.
