Here is the new Real Demons of Pop Culture cover art. What do you think?
Monday morning a new episode of The Real Demons of Pop Culture will be uploaded. It will be all about sex demons— the incubus and succubus. Then on Tuesday I will be live on YouTube. Normally I do Tuesday evenings but I might do a live in the afternoon and evening to see if either is more popular.
I am not sure if I will be starting up my short horror stories. I am looking at the time I have and deciding how I can fit that in. So more to come on that later.
I will begin shooting videos at local haunted sites. They will be uploaded on my YouTube channel.
I have a second podcast that I post a new episode once a month. It is called Out of Silence and I interview creative people who inspire me. This month I interviewed the band The Foxies. Sadly, my disk got corrupted and I lost the entire hour long interview. I was devastated because it was such an awesome interview. Look for The Foxies sometime in the future when I they have time to do another interview. They are going on a European tour opening for Billy Idol so it will hopefully be sometime after that. In the meantime I will be working on something else for Out of Silence for September.
Have you ever burnt sage? Sage has a lot of cleansing properties in the magic world but it isn’t the best smelling stuff. I have a little space for shooting my “magical” videos. I ordered a crystal starter kit and a stick of sage came with it. According to an article in Vogue, “sage smoke offers rapid delivery to the brain and efficient absorption to the body. Scientists have observed that sage can clear up to 94 percent of airborne bacteria in a space and disinfect the air. When sage is burned, it releases negative ions, which is linked to putting people into a positive mood”
What I am reading:
STEPHEN KING, FAIRY TALE
Stephen King has a new novel out this week. Fairy Tale. I just began reading it and so far I am enjoying it. According to what I have read it is an epic, hero’s journey tale and not very scary.
What I am watching:
Fall
I went to the movies to see the movie Fall. Not because I thought it would be good (it was ok), but because I have a fear of heights. I wanted to see how it would affect me. I will admit the first part of the movie had me shaking but once they got to the top it lost its edge. I wouldn’t recommend the movie unless you are really bored.
Devil in Ohio
This is a new series on Netflix. I mentioned it in last week’s newsletter. I finished the series and overall all I am disappointed. It starts out strong, an escapee from a Satanic cult, I’m on board. But eventually it turns into a family drama. It could have been so much better if they leaned more into the Satanic part instead of the This is Us style drama.
I hope you all have an amazing week.
