Gorgeous listeners! We miss you. Work and children and other creative projects have been (rightly) taking up our time and energy. But if thereโs interest, we could maybe come back and do a few more episodes, or a special edition something. What do you say?
Whew. Been busy with work stuff but finally finished up the first draft of my anti-demon "Shofar" #jewishmonsterhunting trading card. Not sure if I got the Hebrew right...need to check that.
Last week I started a ๐งตfor @ProjectTzimtzum on how Jewish magic intertwines with Jewish liturgy & ritual. I'm going to pick up with the angels in the Shalom Aleichem prayer, how Havdalah spices scare demons, & how Tashlik helps us avoids the evil eye. (Art by Nathan Gutman)
Besides the obvious like shabbos candle sticks, a challah board/cover, a washing cup, and a Hanukkiah what's the judaica that one should consider getting?
Isaiah 34:14 is wild, with Lilith, seirim (goat-demons), & tsiyyim (ืึดืึดึผึืื, 'wildcats' or 'desert-dwellers.') Like Lilith & seirim, tsiyyim can be read as demonic. I've having a hard time finding good Jewish sources on demonic tsiyyim. Anyone know any?

So, if you like us, you probably like @TheRaDR. You may even know about us because of her. This, sheyd-throwers, is a super cool opportunity to bring some more Danya torah to the world which, Iโm sure we can all agree, is a thing we very much need.
THE RED DOOR is currently available for pre-order, but a handful of people get to read it before it comes out. (Haha, see what I did there?) Would you like to be one of them? Get in touch with me here or on the Project Tzimtzum website. https://t.co/VmssSzP7ZL
