Last time on Jimmy Aiken's Mysterious World.

Salutation listeners, and welcome back to Glitchbottle, the podcast where we uncork the

uncommon in magic, mysticism, and the generally misunderstood.

I'm Alexander F.

And today we are so elated to talk about Catholic theology and teaching regarding magic,

the grimwar, exorcism, demons, and more.

Jimmy is also a prolific author. One of my favorite books,

by the way, listeners, check this out. We'll have links below is teaching with authority about what

the church really says in its documents. But in addition to all of that, Jimmy Aiken is the

proprietor of an excellent podcast. Jimmy Aiken's mysterious world. What does the Catholic Church

teach when it comes to magic? What are demons? What does Catholic teaching say leads to diabolic possession? As we've discussed on the show many times, magic and Catholicism have deep entwining historical roots or similar touch points going back literally a thousand years and more. And as someone who grew up Catholic, I was an altar boy, I went to a Catholic middle school.

I want to know the Catholic theological thinking on esotericism, but also to challenge my own

beliefs on the grimroars, on esoteric practice, and more.

This chat with such an esteemed theologian will be a great thought starter for you as well.

Jimmy Aiken, thank you so much for taking the time and stopping on the Glitchbottle podcast today.

Well, thank you so much. It's my pleasure to be here.
