In this (belated) episode marking our seventh anniversary, we learn about the infernal realms, straight from the devil's mouth, going from a 11th-century Old English text to the 16th-century stage. We also learn why you shouldn't attack your father with an ax and what demonic possession has in common with e. Coli. Today's Texts: Kemble, John M., editor and translator.

Hello, this is Patrick from medieval death trip.
You're about to listen to our much.
Belated Halloween anniversary episode here on the.
Next most spooky occasion I had available.
The winter's solstice, the darkest night of the year here in the northern hemisphere.
Anyway, what you're about to hear was all recorded the day before Halloween, but I just haven't been able to get the editing finished until now.
The reasons for the podcast's absence that I mention in this Halloween recording have basically held true through up to now in December.
There's nothing singularly catastrophic, just a steady pressure of other responsibilities that managed to displaced podcast production over the second half of this year.
But I've got a schedule prepared for our next run of episodes, and I will be back with more in the new year, hopefully much more regularly.
I thought I'd get episode 90 out before New Year's, but now I've managed to get sick with a head cold, and recording anything more than this little intro before I set off for Christmas travel just isn't looking very likely.
But I do want to wish you all happy holidays, both a retroactive happy Halloween and a current solemn solstice merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and joyous festivals of all kinds, and of course, a happy.
And healthy new year.
And now, in the great tradition of.
Holiday ghost stories, lets get spooky and talk to some devils.
This is medieval death trip for October 31, 2021.
Episode 89 interview with a devil.
In.
The dark, you light the candles.
You pour a circle of salt, hoping.
It will be as protective as the.
