This is the most accurate depiction of stress I have ever read, and it is exactly how I experience it. Thank you for putting this to words (and incredible pictures) and I hope your demon will be excised soon!

I gave a lecture about demons last week at the Ritman Library of Hermetic Philosophy. It was also (not coincidentally) my first day of being a tenured professor. I’d asked chatGPT what I should lecture on to celebrate my academic freedom and it said I should give a lecture on psychedelics. Yeah, but demonology seemed to push the envelope just a bit further so there you go.

See Marsilio Ficino’s 1497 De Mysteriis for sources
