Extra Credits

So this is the best we've got.

Now that said, The thing that first interested me in the Golden Dawn and made me know that I wanted to include the Golden Dawn as part of our discussion was actually the Extra History video on the Battle of Blythe Road, which...

As I did more and more research, I discovered that that video was itself rather flawed, which I was surprised about.

Extra history tends to be pretty reliable.

When they do talk about the stuff that I'm really knowledgeable about, they tend to get the details right.

So I was a little shocked to see that they were kind of giving the most salacious version of this story and kind of burying the fact that Really, none of that probably happened, and the whole thing was probably pretty quiet and dealt with, you know, by illegal means rather than, you know, actual dramatic magical confrontation between Yates and Crowley, much as that's how Crowley reports it.

So, all that to say, like...

What I want you as my students to know going forward is that I want you to watch the Extra History video, I want you to take that as your sort of baseline understanding the way that I did, and I want you to question it.

... understanding history, where can people find you?

[laughs] You can find me over at Extra History on YouTube-

There you go
