3 - Mesmerize

6/17/2018
This week, all about Franz Mesmer and the origins of hypnosis! Footnotes: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Franz-Anton-Mesmer Honestly, I was a bad researcher this week and mainly used the wikipedia page on Mesmer, but there are a ton of sources to back it up and they're mainly scholarly and credible at least. A lot of the primary sources are in German! I have to write a research proposal, give me a break! thebluelightpod@gmail.com
