Demonology
from Lunatic Soup · host Megan Miller and Reyna Edmonds
This is a dark one, today we delve into the shadowy history of demonology—the study of demons, devils, and the infernal forces that have haunted human belief for millennia. From ancient Mesopotamian spirits to the medieval grimoires that cataloged hell’s hierarchy, we trace how different cultures have named, feared, and tried to control the unseen. Was demonology a spiritual science, a tool of religious power, or a way to explain the unexplainable? Join us as we explore the origins, evolution, and enduring influence of the dark arts—and why demons never seem to leave the human imagination.
