Earlier this week, Zee and I sat down in the studio to discuss medieval magic and specifically

summoning. And much to my surprise it looks like a lot of the

summoning involved summoning angels. Here's a little sample. There's a basic

understanding of angels that I think we, this still kind of pretty much canon right now.

Like God's messengers basically.

Yeah, it.

But also like sometimes seven faces and you know telling you to kill your kid and things like that.

Okay if you go back to the Bible the actual like official talking about the description of angels.

So there's this joke around biblically accurate angels and it's more about eyes and it's a lot of

like me on Genesis Evangelion stuff.

I will say there's almost no discussion of that kind of angel and medieval world.

Okay.

This is something that gets, even now you reference it, no one wants to reference it because it's

frankly it seems too weird for everybody.

No, we're talking about this reality of like middle beings.

So St. Augustine is probably the guy

that gives sort of the definitive, most simple

approach to these middle beings, that between human and God.

And he gives the sort of, there are unfallen angels and fallen angels.

Fallen angels are those who have turned their will away from God.

So they don't do the will of God.

They've decided he's not the boss of me actually.
