Demonology of the Highlands: The Infernal Landscape of EthiopiaWhat if demons weren’t just metaphorical adversaries or cinematic monsters—but living, breathing entities, tightly woven into the fabric of everyday life?In this immersive episode of Southern Demonology, JJ takes you on a journey to the spiritual highlands of Ethiopia, where the line between sacred and profane is as thin as parchment. Through the lens of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, we explore a complex and terrifying cosmology: spirits that haunt, demons that possess, and curses that linger across generations.From the fearsome twin serpents Barya and Legewon, to the malevolent Shotalay, to the enigmatic Zār and Buda, JJ unpacks how demons in Ethiopian belief are more than just evil—they are deeply human, shaped by class, history, and lived experience. You’ll also hear about Ayine Tila, spirits of madness, and Ye Digimt Menfes, curse-born entities acting as spiritual prosecutors.But this isn’t just a catalog of the damned—it’s a deep dive into a

In the shadowy realms of the mind, where nightmares lurk and ancient evils stir, lies the path of Southern Demonology. Our host, JJ, embarks on a captivating journey through the dark corners of demonology, supernatural tales, and the profound depths of the human psyche.

Welcome to Southern Demonology, where we explore the darkest corners of the supernatural. Today, we dive into Demonology 501: Perfect Possession, the ultimate stage of demonic control.Father Malachai Martin outlines four stages of possession: entry, erroneous judgments, yielding of control, and finally, perfect possession. In this final stage, the victim is completely controlled by an evil spirit, showing no signs of possession and even acknowledging their guilt in crimes. Exorcism is nearly impossible.Perfect possession might evolve from regular possession or begin with the victim’s willing partnership with the demonic. It’s a terrifying erasure of the self, where the victim consents to be consumed by the Infernal Kingdom.Despite the scarcity of information, signs of perfect possession include societal rule-breaking and an eerie normalcy that only keen observers can detect. This stage represents a profound attack on humanity, echoing ancient conflicts between good and evil.Stay safe, and remember, the battle

Yet in Japan, the story is vastly different.In this fascinating episode, JJ takes us on a personal journey through Japan's world of "jiko bukken" or stigmatized properties.

While we've released Demonology 101, 201, and 301 up to this point, there really hasn't been a dedicated discussion as to what is NOT a demon. In this episode, Chris from the Wandering Road Podcast and JJ take a stab at just that and go over not only some lessons that anyone can use but also take the opportunity to address some of the misinformation that many love to promote, whether that would be through sermons or online. JJ finishes the episode with a quick synopsis of what an demon actually is in order to contrast the rest of the episode.Get all of Southern Demonology's links at https://www.southerndemonology.com along with contact information.#demonic #infernal #demonology #exorcism Get bonus content on PatreonSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/southerndemonology.

Just in time for the new school year, the time has come for you too to head back to class for the third installment of our Demonology series, this time cleverly entitled "Demonology 301."
