Ugh so gorgeous thank you 🙏🏻 reminds me how I’ve thought in the past that “meteorology” might be a more etymologically accurate term for astrology since meteoros essentially means “high up” 💫💫💫 also that story abt Pliny the elder always makes me a little sad
Ty! And yes, Pliny’s death does make me sad. Many years ago I wrote my undergrad thesis on the portrayal of magic in his Natural History, and I’ve always had a soft spot for him ever since!
