Gorgeous listeners! We miss you. Work and children and other creative projects have been (rightly) taking up our time and energy. But if there’s interest, we could maybe come back and do a few more episodes, or a special edition something. What do you say?

Whew. Been busy with work stuff but finally finished up the first draft of my anti-demon "Shofar" #jewishmonsterhunting trading card. Not sure if I got the Hebrew right...need to check that.

Excellent thread, as always, from our friend @AdneSadeh (you know you’ll never get weird looks from us 👀😈😎).
Last week I started a 🧵for @ProjectTzimtzum on how Jewish magic intertwines with Jewish liturgy & ritual. I'm going to pick up with the angels in the Shalom Aleichem prayer, how Havdalah spices scare demons, & how Tashlik helps us avoids the evil eye. (Art by Nathan Gutman)

Amulets, red string, an assortment of tupperware for the ash remains of the burned placenta of a black cat… the usual.
Besides the obvious like shabbos candle sticks, a challah board/cover, a washing cup, and a Hanukkiah what's the judaica that one should consider getting?

Yeah that’s a mood.
Replying to @JewishWonk
Sure we've all got a hanukiah, but my life won't be complete until I acquire a Judith holding the severed bloody head of Halofernes hanukiah.

Isaiah 34:14 is wild, with Lilith, seirim (goat-demons), & tsiyyim (אִיִּ֔ים, 'wildcats' or 'desert-dwellers.') Like Lilith & seirim, tsiyyim can be read as demonic. I've having a hard time finding good Jewish sources on demonic tsiyyim. Anyone know any? sefaria.org/Isaiah.34.14?lan…

Sitcom idea: buddies, but they're sheidim.

So, if you like us, you probably like @TheRaDR. You may even know about us because of her. This, sheyd-throwers, is a super cool opportunity to bring some more Danya torah to the world which, I’m sure we can all agree, is a thing we very much need.

This is amazing. Another great @shvlman find. I've never seen anything like this.
An amulet for an evil spirit, hung over a baby's cradle. Photographed in Samarkand, Uzbekistan in 1928. This appears to be chicken feet (like some Jewish demons have) and garlic hung over a parchment amulet collection.kunstkamera.ru/en…

THE RED DOOR is currently available for pre-order, but a handful of people get to read it before it comes out. (Haha, see what I did there?) Would you like to be one of them? Get in touch with me here or on the Project Tzimtzum website. projecttzimtzum.com/

Thank you, Facebook memories, for reminding us that 10 years ago we were @StereoSinai… and we were into sheydim even then. 😈

Quote from this session! We were presenting to a group of teens and after describing the difference between a demon (soul without body) to a golem (body without soul) one kid yelled right before the break, “Hey, we’ve got 15 minutes, let’s go grab some LEGOs and a soul!”

In case you didn't think to Google "Sexy Merman Talmud" I'll help out. Shemot Rabbah 43:7 tells a parable of a King coming home & catching his wife w/ a merman to which his advisor says "eh? it's not like she can get pregnant" It's not the pregnancy that the king is mad about 😈

Sensible precautions.
it’s crazy how if you talk to any serious hiker they’re like yes demons are real, make sure you don’t walk along a stream for too long, sometimes a witch trails me for miles, avoid wearing bright colors, and pray being entering the forest
