For as long as demons have haunted the darkest recesses of our fears and imagination there are those who work to cast them out. Exorcists come in all sorts across the world, not just Catholic priests hurling holy water and chanting sacred prayers. In this episode Vic discusses priests in India who cast demons out along the Ganges River and have a special place where they store them once they cast them out. Later in the episode Marcus discuses the malicious "zar spirit" of Northern Africa and the Middle East. Special Zar cults come together to perform a specific ritual to try and save a person from a horrible fate.
The extended portion of the show is EXCLUSIVE to our patrons. Vic and Marcus discuss the root of the word demon. When most hear that would they think of the Judeo-Christian fallen angel. The term has an older meaning and our hosts enjoy breaking down the root of the word. If you wish to sign up to become a patron and get this EXCLUSIVE content click HERE
