Demons aren't just fiery, horned creatures from hell—they’re life lessons in disguise. In this episode of Alchemy, LeeAnna and Tim dive deep into the concept of moral dread, where our darkest impulses—greed, lust, sloth, envy—aren't just fears, but cautionary tales lurking in our own human nature. We’ll explore how demons can be a mirror, reflecting our worst traits and offering a sharp reminder of what happens when we let them take the wheel. Is the fear of these demons enough to keep us in check, or do we need a more urgent warning? Tune in for a conversation that's both chilling and enlightening, as we unpack how demons deliver life's hardest lessons—whether we like it or not.
As with all our podcasts, this is free of those annoying ads—and in place of them, we bring you something far more interesting: Confusite! This deep purple gem has absolutely no known properties, but that’s what makes it so powerful. Simply place it under your pillow, and watch as evil spirits are immediately baffled. They’ll be so busy trying to figure out if they’re dealing with a cursed object or a really bad piece of interior decor that they’ll forget all about you. Confusite—because sometimes, the best defense is pure, unadulterated confusion.
