Sheydy Characters: An Introduction to Jewish Demonology

A Livestream Class with Dr. S.D. Espinosa

Time and Room Not Chosen Yet for This Class

A sheyd (plural sheydim) is the classic Jewish demon. What is the difference between a sheyd and a Christian demon? Well, they aren't fallen angels, for a start! So what are they, who are they, and do you need to worry about being possessed by one? Can you work with them? More important, should you?

Dr. Espinosa wil use her background in religion to describe the sources of Jewish demonology. These sources are both mystical and folkloric, and feature Biblical characters such as King Solomon, with whom some viewers may already work.
