		<description><![CDATA[There are several examples of how demons have been employed in contemporary and urban fantasy. Though not as popular as vampires, zombies and various species of lycanthropes, demons are still quite useful as powerful hitme . . . hitbeings, and may play a larger role at times, too. In Jim Butcher&#8217;s popular Dresden Files (and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Though not technically part of classical demonology, with the growing popularity of modern Gnosticism, and the Gnostic bad guys as a largely untapped area for fictional villains, it is a useful area with which to be familiar. What we might call classical Gnosticism is a form of early Christianity that did not become part of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a class of ceremonial magic generally referred to as Solomonic magic. This is, of course, named for the famous King Solomon, son of David. The idea that Solomon was a magician is fairly old, as the second century Testament of Solomon, a sort of prototype for later Solomonic grimoires, attests. Though Solomonic magic [...]]]></description>

For the most part I reviewed the syllabus for the class I&#8217;m teaching in March at Viterbo University (that&#8217;s VUSM431 &#8211; The Ethical Life from the New Testament Gospels, in case you&#8217;d like to take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two in a row! Anyway, last week was a writing week and another chapter or so of Living Theurgy is done. The MS is at just over 13,000 words and I&#8217;ve set out a very, very rough outline of a table of contents. At the moment we&#8217;re looking at least 13-15 chapters, and probably around [...]]]></description>

Protagonist doesn&#8217;t mean &#8220;good guy,&#8221; it means the main character, the lead, the person who does the most stuff. Greek words are nifty that way. Your main character doesn&#8217;t have to be likable, either. At least not in a &#8220;I&#8217;d be happy to sit [...]]]></description>

I’ll do grimoire-related demons later on, so let’s just pretend they don’t exist for now, okay? There appear to be two kinds of demons in Christianity (ymmv; not all forms of Christianity do this). The first is the unclean spirit and [...]]]></description>
