0:00.0	Hey, my name is Chris Brennan, and you're listening to The Astrology Podcast.
0:03.2	In this episode, I'm going to be interviewing Eric Perdue, and talking about his new translation
0:07.1	of the three books of a cult philosophy from the 15th, 16th century occultist and philosopher
0:16.0	Henry Cornelius Agriba. So, hey, Eric, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me.
0:21.5	Yeah. And just for those that pay attention to such things, today is Saturday, March 12, 2022,
0:28.0	starting at 11.55 a.m. in Denver, Colorado, and this is the 243rd episode of the show.
0:33.8	So, you have been work, I've actually known you, I think we originally met through like the old,
0:39.6	like Astrology Forum, they used to run on my space many years ago in like the mid-20,
0:46.0	mid-2000s, and way back at some point, I think towards the end of that decade, like 2008,

1:14.8	that to see if I could. Okay. So, and this is the first time that this book has been translated into
1:23.6	English, again, in over 300 or 350 years or something like that. I think it's more than that.
1:30.2	I was doing the math yesterday. It was I think 370. Wow. Okay. So, there was one prior translation,
1:36.8	but it was done so long ago in like the 17th century that it is itself both kind of weird in
1:43.7	terms of its language, but also a little unreliable. So, that's one of the reasons that you wanted to do
1:50.4	this. What's your background? And you have a background in both astrology as well as magic, right?
1:56.2	Yes. I've been practicing magic since, well, seriously, since 1990.
2:04.3	And, you know, mostly through the Afro-Cuban sphere, I sort of fell into that accidentally.
2:11.0	And my teacher was unusual. He was Cuban, and he was unusual in that he was also interested in
2:22.0	Western esoteric tradition as well. So, he knew some astrology. He used to elect some of our ceremonies,
