Spirit Possession: Gods, Aliens and Demons

On this week's episode we talk about the culturally ubiquitous phenomena of spirit possession, how the Catholic Church has a monopoly on the concept and why its various manifestations of power can be considered either good or bad depending on the context. We discuss tongues of flame, spontaneous levitation, strange smells and the sudden appearance of inexplicable wounds like the stigmata. In the extended edition of the show we loop back around to describe how these same phenomena are described in Japanese mythology and folklore before talking about Furbies, demons of the Goetia and how exorcism works from a Chaos Magick perspective.
