William Blake's Prophetic & Mystical Mythology - Analysis of The Book of Urizen & its Gnostic Myth

William Blake is well known as a engraver, painter and poet but he was also a profound and prolific mystical prophet, composing volumes detailing his own gnostic-like personal mythology. While his early poems are well known, these prophetic works largely go tragically under-appreciated due to their obscure complexity. In collaboration with ‪@TheArtTourist‬ , this episode serves an introduction to his mythos by turning to his foundational 1794 Book of Urizen and an analysis of to what degree can we think of Blake's system as gnostic.
