BTW 37: The Devil You DON'T Know with guest Michael Ursell

Rebel, demon, adversary, bringer of light, the Devil appears in all these guises and more. The Devil card often points to our fatal flaw, the wound that is standing in our way, preventing us from getting the thing we really want. One especially delicious tool we can use to help deepen our knowledge of the Devil card is literature. Today we’re discussing the meaning of our favorite foe with Milton scholar Michael Ursell. We discuss the infamous book, "Paradise Lost," and what it teaches us about love and resistance. In the episode you’ll find out why the Devil figure really is scary, but not for the reasons you might think. Tune in! ******************************** Find out more about our special guest Michael Ursell Check out his Twitter feed: @ursellmichael ********************************* UPCOMING WORKSHOPS SIGIL MAGICK & Tarot Studio are both Between the Worlds workshops and are included in your Jupiter level subscriber membership.
