Theme Of The Week........................Homunculous

During medieval and early modern times, it was thought that a homunculus, an artificial humanlike being, could be created through alchemy. The homunculus first appears by name in alchemical writings attributed to Paracelsus (1493–1541). We love "Small Prophets" TV series and this is the basis for this weeks theme. More info. can be found on You Tube.

    1. Great! We know you are a fan of this show Ron that's what encouraged us to suggest it. Angie may find it baffling but hopefully she will get a chance to see it or at least the clips on You Tube.

  2. Oh yes, I was definitely baffled and immediately GOOGLED and now I know the definition of homunculus (a new one for me!) and I am also thinking about what this can mean collage-wise and I think I have an idea what I might do...stay tuned! P.S, I see Michael Palin is in the TV series, I will check that out too.
