Are fictionalized depictions of child sacrifice release valves for the actual act, or symbolic representations that take the place of the act itself? We discuss the tension between the mythology of children as a swarm of demons and children as innocents to be protected, and come to a surprising conclusion to our conversation of child sacrifice. David also follows “The Path of the Spider” as a mind exercise during the episode.
