For the first time, Southern Demonology takes a look at two particular religious organizations through the lens of a simple book published by one of them. Forgive the vagueness, but see if you can guess exactly the topic. A huge hint is already in the title of this episode.

In this episode, JJ discusses two recent horror movies, Late Night with the Devil and You'll Never Find Me. Late Night with the Devil received great reviews and was praised for its interesting plot and lack of predictable twists. On the other hand, You'll Never Find Me was criticized for its forced dialogue and lackluster execution. JJ recommends Late Night with the Devil but advises against watching You'll Never Find Me. The episode also serves as a preamble to a conversation with Father Birdsong about the dark and the evil eye.

Late Night with the Evil Eye

Get ready for a truly chilling tale that will make you think twice about taking a nap. On today's episode, our host JJ goes deep into the nightmarish realm of demonic dream invasions. 
We're talking about visions so vivid and terrifying, they'll make your skin crawl. From a withered demon whisking him away to see the apocalypse up close...to an eight-foot crow beast with spiraling eyes of madness hunting him through non-Euclidean labyrinths. 
Just when you think it can't get any more spine-tingling, JJ gets visited by a trilogy of fresh hell in March 2024. A desert piled with smoldering corpses ruled by a leather-clad demoness who casually flays the skin off his face...a sickly yellow "angel" infecting his very brain...and a multi-headed dragon monstrosity slaughtering people left and right in a sacred church. 
You'll feel the pain and anguish as vividly as he did, all through the terrible magic of dreams. To top it off, you'll hear from religious experts weighing in on whether there are diabolical forces at play.
Brace yourselves, folks. This one is a true nightmare fueled by over 40 years of chronic nightmares. Sleep with one eye open after this bone-chilling edition!

Demonology 101

Welcome to the final episode, lucky number 13, of season 4 of Southern Demonology. Not only does JJ detail some of the goodies that season 5 will offer, but he also presents an interview with the listener Elizabeth who goes over how she was underneath the dominion of demonic oppression for decades and how hearing Father Birdsong's iteration of "God is not angry with you" helped her to recognize the predicament and break the cycle. This is definitely a heart wrenching episode that will highlight the depths that the infernal can plunge a person before one can even realize it due to its slow, insidious nature.

Trapped in Fear & Fire

Christians have created numerous artifacts and and icons in order to help ensure that they get into heaven, but none are as mysterious as the Bandlet of Righteousness (lefAfa Sedeq), the Ethiopian Book of Life. In this episode, JJ runs through the tradition and incantations that make up this amazing work, compares it to protection scrolls created by Ethiopian Orthodox priests that use demonic energy to fuel God's will, and demonstrates some of the aspects that truly make this work magical.
