The Winds of Lilith

Welcome to the final installment of season 3! There's a few treats awaiting! First is the continuation of the interview with the exorcist duo the Birdsongs. They go over the hardest case Father Birdsong has dealt with in his time in the ministry, that of Paula who goes around with a bag of dolls. He also goes into detail of some of the demons that have surfaced during this investigation, one of which is of course our good friend Lilith. This is then followed up with a review and thoughts on perhaps the most impactful film I have ever seen on the subject of demonic possession, and that is not a claim that I make lightly. Will you also see perhaps a glimmer of what season 4 will bring? Only listening may reveal the truth! JJ will be the guest on Vestiges after Dark on Tuesday, August 29th at 8PM Eastern/7PM Central.

The Oppression of Mary

Welcome to the second to last episode of season 3! In this episode, I not only share a listener submitted story that answers the question of what constitutes a positive paranormal experience much better than I ever could, but we also have a dual guest interview with the Birdsongs, the father and son exorcist duo that have been on more than twenty cases in the last two years alone. Father Birdsong has at least thirty years of experience as an exorcist. Father Birdsong has also written a book entitled "Becoming a House of Prayer" which you can find at [https://a.co/d/d7NYcfC] (https://a.co/d/d7NYcfC) Get access to all of Southern Demonology's links at [https://linktr.ee/southerndemonology] (https://linktr.ee/southerndemonology) [Get bonus content on Patreon] (https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/5135218) Support this show [http://supporter.acast.com/southerndemonology] (http://supporter.acast.com/southerndemonology) .

GG & the Mewling Darkness of Fear

Southern Demonology is back after a family emergency in Tennessee, and this time JJ shares not only a at once funny albeit heartbreaking story that really puts the "Southern" in Southern Demonology, but he also goes over what can happen when a horror lover gets what one truly wants and finds something that's truly scary.

Reverberations through Time

Come on a journey through time as I take a look at the Dead Sea Scrolls, their importance, the effect they had on academia as a whole, and their overall importance. I then embark on an analysis of my favorite scroll, 4Q510-11, and how it helps determine not just the mindset of the Essenes but also perhaps the Second Temple period itself.

Demonic Oppression & the "Mark" of the Devil

Welcome to the first interview of season 3! In this special episode, we welcome back Brandon from Cookeville Ghost Hunters who shares some more paranormal cases he has investigated, a new piece of equipment he uses in the field, and some of the more idiotic remnants of Satanic panic he's encountered over the years.

The Machine in the Shadows

In this episode, we begin with a review of the movie Skinamarink from Shudder, trace the decline of the streaming service's originals, and cross-apply that to the current state of generative AI and how all of that is a race to the bottom unfortunately.

And Now for Something Completely Different

As a thank you to Apple Podcast and Patreon subscribers, Southern Demonology will be producing new monthly episodes. The content will be a little different as these bonus episodes will focus on anime and doramas (non-animated). As a preview of that type of content, this episode is all about what's best for the mostly closed out winter anime season.

Misfortunes & Demonological Hot Takes

I have a hot take on demonology as a field. It may be unpopular, especially with so many books out there that claim to provide ALL the knowledge about the hierarchy of hell and what foods and leisure activities demons enjoy, but I make my argument using the limitations on human knowledge of the preternatural, historical anachronisms, and the troubles just demonic names pose to make my case. I also delve a little into the power of crossroads and Sylvester Sty-lone.

Nephilim, the Prophecy, and Undeath

I've explained before how the research behind the movie The Prophecy propelled me into hunting down the origins of the angelic script it depicted. However, did the cheap knock-off sequels to this movie get anything right at all? To answer, we delve into the actual text of 1 Enoch and along the way find out not only how dangerous the Nephilim are to theology but how they may even form the modern template for the undead. Highlander may also be mentioned.

The Demon Folklorist Part II

Join us for last part of our interview with Victoria, aka the Demon Folklorist, as she speaks about demonic pacts, categorization, and her writing process. You can find her on Twitter @demonfolklorist or via her website at https://demonfolklorist.com. Her thesis, In the Presence of Evil: Demonic Perception Narratives, can be found at https://t.co/f50y7GMyvq One of our discord users has started a new writing project (more innocent times may have referred to it as a blog) called Scaring the Kids. The goal is to explore the idea of kids and horror–what scares them, what scares the author, and what is scary to parents in general. I had the honor of reading the site, and I walked away extremely impressed. So much so that I asked if we could do a collaboration where I feature one of the author’s stories as a listener inbox feature.
