Avoid anger and thou wilt not sin. Too many captains sink the ship. The noblest of all charities is in enabling the poor to earn a livelihood. Dignity does not consist in a silk dress.

The devil and his supposed horns, the Exorcist’s battle with the demon possessed, the inverted cross, the Osculum infame (The Infamous kiss) or the Black Mass in which a young woman is sacrificed to Satan. All these are mostly influenced by Christian ideas in some way or another. The Prominence of Christianity in the study of demonology cannot be denied.

Demons? Real. Bathrooms? Haunted. From food laws and lawsuits to prayer schedules and purity charts — it’s all here. Rabbis, rules, and the search for truth. No commentary. No theology. Just the Talmud, as written.
