Summary

This is our first Universal History episode on the legend of the Holy Grail. Richard Rohlin and I take a deep dive into the origin of the Holy Grail, how relics convey power and how the Grail forms an integral part of the story of the West. To build this thread Richard explores 3 sources: the Celtic tradition and particularly their understanding of relics (pt.1), what we'll call the Iberian Virgin and her Holy Grail (pt.2), and finally the cloth that contains the face and body of Christ (pt.3).

So hello, everybody. We are back with Richard Rowland for one more episode of our universal

0:04.7

history. We've been talking about a lot of stuff in the past several months, some things that

0:10.6

many people have never heard about strange legends going to the ends of the earth with our series

0:15.5

on Ethiopia. But now a lot of people will be excited because we're finally coming to talk about

0:20.7

the grail. And many people have been're finally coming to talk about the Grail.

0:21.7

And many people have been waiting for us to talk about the Grail just because it's such a

0:27.1

prominent figure in Western legends. And there's so much around it, even up to today in popular

0:32.5

culture. So I'm really happy to have Richard to talk about this because I know he's going to surprise

0:36.9

me as well with some of his knowledge.

0:39.0

And so Richard, thanks for coming along.

0:41.4

1:10.0

And then it's actually kind of this ongoing process.

1:12.6

Right. This is Jonathan Peugeot. Welcome to the symbolic world.

1:28.3

So before we start, though, I have a little personal thing going on, which is that Richard is one of the

1:45.2

first people to actually read a copy of God's Dog, as many people know. At the end of October,

1:52.3

probably when this is coming out, the crowdfunding will have already started for our graphic novel.

1:57.1

And so I wanted Richard to say a few things about what he thought about our graphic

2:01.1

novel. Well, first of all, you owe me an afternoon because I had sat down. I was actually at a
