Mythical Astronomy Of Ice And Fire

Time to take all that Stark / Dayne / last hero stuff and apply it to characters who fit the stolen Other archetype! This means all the Eldric variants of Houses Stark and Dayne, including Edric Snowbeard and Edric "Ned" Dayne, plus a ton of awesome Davos stuff, including his chapter as a prisoner if the Wolf's Den at White Harbor. Close analysis of the scenes involving these figures bring us closer than ever before to understanding the nature of those who carry the Blood of the Other, the fine folks we know as House Stark. Robert from In Deep Geek returns to perform the readings from the text, and thanks as always to Stanley Black for our intro music and John Walsh for our flamenco guitar music.

Blood of the Other 2 has us following the trail of the last hero - was he a Stark? A Dayne? Both, somehow? In search of the answer, we'll cross paths with Elric of Melnibone and Tolkien's Numenorians and magic swords beyond counting. Vocal acting by Robert from the InDeepGeek YouTube channel, intro music by Stanley Black, and flamenco guitar by John Walsh

This Livestream was recorded Saturday, March 3rd, 2018. Crowfood's Daughter of the Disputed Lands YouTube channel was my guest, and we covered even more Bael related mythology and took live questions and pre-submitted questions both. Enjoy!

The Blood of the Other series swings in to full gear by exploring the blood tie between the Starks and the Others. We'll consider the potential historical precedent of Gilly as a Night's Queen figure whose baby is smuggled away by the Night's Watch before being turned in to an Other. Theme music by Stanley Black. Flamenco guitar by John Walsh. Vocal performances by Martin Lewis and the Amethyst Koala.

Oh-ho! It's a new series! This one branches off from the Moons of Ice and Fire series and will discuss the icy origins of House Stark and the nature of their link to the Others.

Quinn from the Ideas of Ice and Fire YouTube channel invited me on his new, revamped podcast to talk about the magical creatures of ASOIAF! It was too good not to share with you all, so I am bringing it to you as a bonus episode. The original version of this, complete with video accompaniment, can be found on the Ideas of Ice and Fire channel: https://youtu.be/HYnvuF8aMB8

Here's the livestream we did on Jan 20th, 2018, as a follow up to the R+L=J, A Recipe for Ice Dragons episode.

It's R+L=J, but done Mythical Astronomy style. Instead of discussing how many nursemaids might have been at the Tower of Joy, we'll be gaining an understanding of how Jon parallels the Others. I'd say more, but I don't want to ruin the fun. Featuring special guest reader Gemma from the Secrets of the Citadel YouTube channel, as well as our theme music by John Walsh. Join us for the follow up livestream Saturday, Jan. 20th at 3:30 est on our YouTube channel!

I am joined by special guest Poor Quentyn (poorquentyn.tumblr.com/) for a fun discussion of Night's King, Euron, Stannis, the Undying, and Hizdahr's frozen dream penis. It's just me for the first 25 minutes or so, then Poor Quentyn joins in. Thanks to everyone who joined us live and sent in questions. I didn't get to them all and will save some for next time. Happy Holidays, and I hope you enjoy!

To begin to penetrate the shroud of mystery around the legend of Night's King, we will use the familiar method of examining characters which seem to echo his archetype - Stannis Baratheon, Jon Snow, and Euron Crow's Eye. Stunningly, all of these characters also demonstrate clear Azor Ahai reborn symbolism - and I believe that is because Night's King was either Azor Ahai, or his son or brother. A blood of the dragon person. Contents include nightmare visions, Others wordplay, Warlock Wine, a dragon-on-dragon battle, all of Euron's symbolism, and tons of fodder for JonValJon shippers. Music by John Walsh, voice acting by Martin Lewis.

Recorded live last Saturday. Thanks to everyone who participated! Theme music by John Walsh. For the Youtube video of this livestream, go to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/lucifermeanslightbringer

Our third installment in the Moons of Ice and Fire series examines Aegon the Conqueror, Visenya, and Rhaenys as a model for the solar king with two lunar queens. This will lead us to a dramatic revelation about the Night's King, of all people, and will prepare us to examine Rhaegar, Elia and Lyanna as a matching "mythical astronomy love triangle." This is a bloody and action packed episode with tons of dragon carnage, so dig in and enjoy.

u/JoeMagician of Reddit and Watchers on the Wall renown joins me, Lucifer means Lightbringer, to present to you a set of spooky theories about the Winterfell crypts so terrifying, so horrifying, you might not even be able to read The Winds of Winter when it comes out. Most of this is be a scripted presentation, with the last 45 minutes opened up to questions, insults, and other absurdities. Recorded live on Sunday, October 29th.

Our first livestream Q&A session of the Moons of Ice and Fire series! Recorded live, Saturday October 14th.

We are going to talk about the Others. We are going to talk about Dawn. We are going to talk about Dawn having an ancient link to the Others and ice magic and House Stark. I believe this is the sort of thing which interests you. As a bonus, I'll explain why the Kingsguard are perfect symbolic parallels to the Others, which is totally weird once you pick up on it. Vocal performances by Martin Lewis, guitar music by John Walsh. Matching text is at https://www.lucifermeanslightbringer.com Follow up Q&A Youtube Livestream Sat Oct 14th at 3:30 EST!

A new series is upon us, and with it, the Others. We'll begin by studying the Night's Queen, the cold maiden with skin as white as the moon and eyes like blue stars.

We continue to build the case for Nissa Nissa as a child of the forest by examining the extensive cat woman symbolism of the Nissa Nissa figures in the story. Lady Stoneheart and the Ghost of High Heart; Asha Greyjoy and the wildling spearwives Osha, Ygritte, and Thistle; Cersei Lannister and all her ancestors, including "The Red Widow" Rohanne Webber, and of course, Arya. We will also finally do an extensive comparison of the House of Black and White to all things related to weirwood and the Old Gods of the North. The matching text can be found at LucifermeansLightbringer.com. Thanks to Martin Lewis for the vocal performances, and to John Walsh for our theme music.

This is the long-awaited Arya episode! Arya Stark is a killer with a fine collection of death goddess archetypes such as the Nightwolf, the Ghost in Harrenhal, or a Faceless Man, but she also symbolizes a child of the forest. This is of critical importance to our overarching quest to unravel the mysteries of the War for the Dawn and the Long Night, because Arya is playing into the Nissa Nissa archetype in a very specific way. As you will see, the implications are dramatic: Nissa Nissa may have been a child of the forest, and one who had life after death. Thanks to John Walsh for our new theme music, and thanks to Martin Lewis and the Amethyst Koala for their vocal performances. Enjoy!

In the first episode of Mythical Astronomy, we learned that NIssa Nissa correlates to the moon which was slain by the comet. That's why we call her a moon maiden, and the same goes for all the characters who play the role of Nissa Nissa - they are all types of moon maidens. Now, as we track Azor Ahai through the weirwood forest, we've come upon a new revelation about Nissa Nissa - she's also a weirwood tree maiden. A weirwood goddess, even. Azor Ahai wed Nissa Nissa, and I think he 'wed the trees' too - and these two events might be related to one another, or even be part of the same thing... This episode is for all the ladies and goddesses and fairies and tree nymphs of the land, so guys, put that Lightbringer away for a second and instead... feed yourself to the tree. She's ever-hungry.
