113. Thaumaturgy w/ Amy Vorpahl
Manage episode 445137158 series 3531545
This week, Emily and Kyle are joined by Amy Vorpahl, a Dungeons and Dragons pro you might recognize from Critical Role, D20, and the recently released Goblin Mode! Amy and Kyle are guided by their DM Emily on an adventure into the magical world of thaumaturgy.
Thaumaturgy might be familiar to the DnD players out there, but the history of the thaumaturge goes all the way through Ancient Greece, Medieval Europe, and more! Our trio explore the magic of priests and occultists, the many words used for mages and prophets, a dubious miracle and a decidedly cool saint.
Amy and our hosts discuss thaumaturgy alongside some other iconic DnD spells, and the challenge a Dungeon Master faces in keeping track of the nitty gritties of magic. They also chat about thaumaturgy as it appears in other tabletop games and media, as well as the etymologies of some other 5e spells.
Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
