This is perhaps the most important podcast I’ve recorded so far, because it deals with a topic that is becoming increasingly relevant with the growing popularity of psychedelics, occult practices and technology.

On this episode I speak with Norwegian healer and author Are Thoresen about his 2020 book Demons and Healing: The Reality of the Demonic Threat and the Doppelgänger in the Light of Anthroposophy: Demonology, Christology and Medicine.

Are Thoresen was born in Norway in 1952. A doctor of veterinary medicine, he has also studied anthroposophic medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, osteopathy and agriculture. Since 1981 he has run a private holistic practice in Sandefjord, Norway, for the healing of small animals and horses, as well as people. He has lectured widely, specializing in veterinary acupuncture, and has published dozens of scholarly articles. In 1984 he started to treat cancer patients, both human and animals, and this work has been the focus of much of his recent research. He is the author of Demons and Healing and several other books on complementary medicine.

In our conversation Are and I discuss many aspects of demonic entities and possession — how they are created, how they cause physical and mental disease, and how we can transform them and protect ourselves from them. In his books Are writes in great detail about these entities, and trust me, it can begin to feel pretty complex and overwhelming. 

In an attempt to keep this conversation grounded and relatable, I thought it would be helpful if I shared my personal experience with a demonic entity that I encountered while experimenting with astral projection as a teenager, and how I dealt with it 20 years later in the Santo Daime ayahuasca church. 

This experience is something that I’ve only talked about with 2 or 3 people over the years, and while I’m a little reluctant to share it publicly, I feel that it could actually save someone’s life. It’s that important.
