Published on Jan 30, 2023
The medieval Gnostics the Cathars have become the stuff of legend - but what Scriptures were holy to them? In a new multi-part series Esoterica is exploring Cathar Scriptures from their relation to the Bible, the inheritance of Bogomil texts and the books produced in Italy and France by the Cathars themselves. Join me this Friday for the first episode of the series exploring their relationship to the Bible, along with the ancient Vision of Isaiah and the Secret Supper of John!
