Director Holden's breathing down my neck, his creepy new sidekick is looking at me like I'm a magical lollypop he'd like to lick, and I haven't even seen the secret records room on level two. Every spidey-sense I have is telling me to run. Except I can't listen to my well-honed gut instincts this time. I have to find Frankie's heirloom - or I'll literally die - and then figure out whatever terrifying plan the director is putting in place to use the demon energy he's become obsessed with. It seems simple... but it's not. Nothing is going according to plan. I wish I wasn't here. I wish I was back at the apartment, playing video games with Blade and eating chocolate chip cookies dipped in milk. I guess we don't always get what we wish for - unless you've got Mr. Fookes in a mini-toaster-genie-bottle around your neck...

""The Mage and Creature Ordinances of 2010 state, in layman's terms, that any non-human entity that is found will be removed from human civilization until they have proven beyond a reasonable doubt that they will not harm any of the human species nor will they procreate without first registering the intent to have an offspring.""

The first accessible reader on magic’s generative relationship with contemporary art practice. From the hexing of presidents to a renewed interest in herbalism and atavistic forms of self-care, magic has furnished the contemporary imagination with mysterious and often disorienting bodies of arcane thought and practice. This volume brings together writings by artists, magicians, historians, and theorists that illuminate the vibrant correspondences animating contemporary art’s varied encounters with magical culture, inspiring a reconsideration of the relationship between the symbolic and the pragmatic. Dispensing with simple narratives of reenchantment, Magic illustrates the intricate ways in which we have to some extent always been captivated by the allure of the numinous. It demonstrates how magical culture’s tendencies toward secrecy, occlusion, and encryption might provide contemporary artists with strategies of remedial communality, a renewed faith in the invocational power of personal testimony, and a poetics of practice that could boldly question our political circumstances, from the crisis of climate collapse to the strictures of socially sanctioned techniques of medical and psychiatric care. Tracing its various emergences through the shadows of modernity, the circuitries of ritual media, and declarations of psychic self-defence, Magic deciphers the evolution of a “magical-critical” thinking that productively complicates, contradicts and expands the boundaries of our increasingly weird present.

This book critically examines dominant ceremonial practices in Sri Lanka. It presents key ideas and symbolic systems that exist to this day, in similar shapes or in different guises. It looks at issues such as misfortunes caused by demons (yaksa dosa), an important ceremonial practice known as the puna-yāgaya, ideas pertaining to spirit possession, trance, and mediums. It also deals with classical Ayurvedic theories of disease, urban ceremonial practices such as cases of the apotheoses from demon to divinity, as well as multiple forms of Buddhist ceremonial practices that are part of the Sri Lankan consciousness and have found their way into public cultural performances in Sri Lanka. As a comprehensive volume on ceremonial practices in Sri Lanka, this work will be useful for scholars and researchers in cultural studies, sociology, social-anthropology, and particularly those interested in myths and rituals in South Asia.

Who Will Usher in Earth’s Final Days? Are we living in the end times? Is it possible that the players depicted in the book of Revelation could be out in force today? And if they are, would you know how to recognize them? In Agents of the Apocalypse, noted prophecy expert Dr. David Jeremiah does what no prophecy expert has done before. He explores the book of Revelation through the lens of its major players—the exiled, the martyrs, the elders, the victor, the king, the judge, the 144,000, the witnesses, the false prophet, and the beast. One by one, Dr. Jeremiah delves into their individual personalities and motives, and the role that each plays in biblical prophecy. Then he provides readers with the critical clues and information needed to recognize their presence and power in the world today. The stage is set, and the curtain is about to rise on Earth’s final act. Will you be ready?

The call to cast out demons is not for a select few; it is for every believer. After reading this book, I will have the boldness and proper understanding of deliverance so that I can be used to cast out demons and see people’s lives restored and made whole. At the end of 2020, revivalist Isaiah Saldivar had a visitation from the Holy Spirit in which He told him in so many words, “Isaiah, the church is unprepared and untrained in spiritual warfare; I want you to teach on casting out demons and spiritual warfare.” Isaiah began to emphasize deliverance training and spiritual warfare in his ministry, and what he thought would be a one-week teaching turned into eight straight months and more than sixty hours of video teachings on how to cast out demons and win the fight in the spirit. These videos have now amassed over 30 million views, and thousands have been delivered by the power of the Holy Spirit. In this book, Isaiah helps Christians who know they should be doing deliverance but don’t know how to go about it. Exploring the seven examples in the Gospels of Jesus casting out demons, and featuring stories from Saldivar’s life and ministry, this simple guide removes the mystery and provides practical training for believers who want to follow Jesus’ example of casting out demons and healing the sick. In these pages, Saldivar challenges readers to not ignore Satan’s kingdom and equips them to confront, resist, wrestle, stand against, and cast out. Those who are tired of sitting on the sidelines will be empowered to do the works of Jesus and be part of the most significant deliverance revival the world has ever seen.

The Babylonian Talmud is full of stories of demonic encounters, and it also includes many laws that attempt to regulate such encounters. In this book, Sara Ronis takes the reader on a journey across the rabbinic canon, exploring how late antique rabbis imagined, feared, and controlled demons. Ronis contextualizes the Talmud's thought within the rich cultural matrix of Sasanian Babylonia, placing rabbinic thinking in conversation with Sumerian, Akkadian, Ugaritic, Syriac Christian, Zoroastrian, and Second Temple Jewish texts about demons to delve into the interactive communal context in which the rabbis created boundaries between the human and the supernatural, and between themselves and other religious communities. Demons in the Details explores the wide range of ways that the rabbis participated in broader discussions about beliefs and practices with their neighbors, out of which they created a profoundly Jewish demonology.
