About

This is the YouTube home for the Mythical Astronomy of Ice and Fire podcast. We analyze the symbolism of ancient folktales in ASOIAF and compare them to the main characters in the story, finding parallels and echoes which reveal the broader tapestry of past and future events and archetypes which George R. R. Martin has created. As a result, we have discovered the cause of the Long Night and the truth of Azor Ahai and Lightbringer, which is not what we have been lead to believe. George is a master of symbolism and metaphor, and is well-steeped in world mythology. His books are part of the larger literary tradition of esoteric, symbolic writing, and as a result, analysis of A Song of Ice and Fire benefits tremendously when viewed inside that larger context... and that's what we do here. We do strict interpretations of the text, eschewing wild speculation to instead focus on the precise language and reoccurring symbolic motifs in the work. Merch coming soon 🔥

Video Description

My ultimate guide to Dothraki culture, religion, and history begins with the question "where did the Dothraki come from?" They do have an origin that predates their presence on the Dothraki sea, and to uncover it, we'll follow the twin trails of historical / physical evidence and religious / mythological evidence. Plenty of Essosi history, plenty of Dany and Drogo, and even Great Empire of the Dawn mythology included as well! 🜏 One-time donation to support: https://www.paypal.me/mythicalastronomy 🜏 Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/davidlightbringer 🜏 All things Mythical Astronomy: https://lucifermeanslightbringer.com/ 🜏 Teeshirts & Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/david-lightbringer/ 🜏 mythology YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/mythicconcepts Twitter: @thedragonLML | Instagram: @davidlightbringer title image uses "Drogo's Khalasar" (Dothraki) by Tomasz Jedruszek
