  • Worth the listen

    This is such a great resource. I appreciate JJ’s extensive, rooted knowledge and expertise of both texts but also the community of people interested in the paranormal broadly and demonology specifically. I always come away with a more nuanced, grounded understanding of some aspect of demonology. And now JJ’s writing a book! I can’t wait!

    Interesting topic, but the host just rambles on and on. Use an outline to focus your discussion.
