Raised on Demons: Church Stories, Ancient Spirits & Forbidden Lore

What exactly is a demon? In this episode, we dive into one of history's most feared and misunderstood subjects. We share our personal experiences growing up in the church and how those early beliefs shaped our understanding of demons, evil spirits, and the unseen world. From the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia to Jewish mysticism and Christian theology, we explore how the concept of demons evolved over thousands of years. Along the way, we unravel the stories of Lilith, the mysterious figure often called Adam's first wife; Azazel, the enigmatic being of the wilderness and scapegoat rituals; Astaroth, one of demonology's most famous names; and Solas, a lesser-known spirit associated with temptation and deception. Were these entities always viewed as evil? Are demons fallen angels, ancient gods reimagined, symbolic archetypes, or something else entirely? Join us as we venture into forbidden texts, folklore, religious history, and personal belief to uncover the origins of the beings that have haunted humanity's imagination for millennia.
