Pagan Coffee Talk

Send us a text

What if the demons we fear are just misunderstood gods from ancient religions? Join us on Pagan Coffee Talk as we uncover the multifaceted world of demons, from their origins to their portrayal in various cultural contexts. We start with a humorous chat about "demon coffee" before diving into an enlightening analysis. Learn how East Asian traditions depict demons as animal-human hybrids with unique powers, while Western views shaped by Christian and Judaic beliefs see them as malevolent spirits. We explore how many Western demons were once revered deities, offering a fresh perspective on these enigmatic beings.
Reminisce with us about childhood fears and the terrifying realism of horror exemplified by Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho." Our conversation wanders through the human tendency to label the inexplicable as demonic, leading to amusing scenarios like "Mighty Morphin Power Angels." Unravel historical and cultural factors that feed our fascination with demons, from attributing behaviors like alcoholism to possession, to pondering why certain ancient beliefs, like saying "bless you" after a sneeze, persist today. Grab a coffee and tune in for a blend of humor, history, and cultural insight that promises an engaging and enlightening episode.
