This week we explore the folklore of the Dybbuk, a unique entity in Hebrew Mysticism, a disembodied human soul too wicked to be allowed to enter the afterlife, but unable to find refuge in this mortal plane. They seek a home in the bodies of unwitting victims, a parasite of the soul, whether human or animal. However, if needs be, they may take up place in something else. Some sort of a inorganic vessel, an object that can house the evil soul until a new host becomes available. In a story that starts before the second world war and continues even now, cursing pop stars and penniless immigrants alike, we see the Dybbuk moving even in this day. We hope you'll enjoy.
