THE HOMUNCULUS | Making a Monster w/ Juan Ayala

Juan makes his triumphant return now as the Juan and only homuncologist. According to the works of the alchemist Paracelsus, a homunculus is a living construct similar somewhat to the golem of Jewish folklore. It is a being produced from the sperm of a dying man left to congeal in the womb of a horse, eventually taking on a human-like form. A newly-formed homunculus lacks substance and must be completed over a period of forty weeks by remaining within the horse's womb and fed human blood. The homunculus then takes on a complete form, often in the shape of a human child but perhaps even smaller.FOLLOW THE MADNESS on social media and support the show on patreon!https://linktr.ee/strangebrewpodcastGO CHECK OUT The Juan on Juan Podcastwww.thejuanonjuanpodcast.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
