Here's your host, Dr. Jack Logan. Welcome to the ancient tradition. I'm your host,

Jack Logan. The podcast is doing very well. We are now the number one comparative religion

podcast in the cybersphere. So thank you for listening in. I watched the

coronation of Charles and Camilla and I was blown away by one particular aspect of the ceremony,

which I'll tell you about in just a second. I had originally planned to do three additional

episodes on the coronation, do one on the investiture,

one on crowns, and one on queenship. But if you've been following the coronation of Charles and

Camilla, he may be a little bit like me, a little burned out. So I've decided to save those

topics for future episodes. And believe me, they will come up because kingship, as I've mentioned many times,

is a quintessential feature of the world's original religious tradition.

But I hope the four episodes that we did do on the coronation gave you a much deeper

and broader spiritual and religious context for the coronation rights.

If you're a regular listener to this program, I'm wondering if you caught what I caught

during the anointing. Did you notice what was on the screen that was placed in front of the

congregation when Charles was anointed? This seriously blew me away. If you did,

you're not only an astute listener, you're also an astute viewer, and you're on your way to seeing

the hidden connections between the symbolism that's used and the more profound spiritual

realities that those symbols are meant to convey.

If you didn't notice what was on the screen, that's okay too.
