He will be a staff for the righteous with which for them to stand and not to fall,

and he will be the light of the nations and the hope of those whose hearts are troubled.

All who dwell on the earth will fall down and worship him, and they will praise and bless,

and celebrate with song, the Lord of Spirits.

1st Enoch, chapter 48, verses 4 through 5. The modern world doesn't acknowledge,

but is nevertheless haunted by spirits, angels, demons, and saints. In our time, many yearn to

break free of the prison of a flat, secular materialism, to see and to know reality as it truly is. What is this spiritual

reality like? How do we engage with it well? How do we permeate everyday life with spiritual

presence? Orthodox Christian priests, Father Andrew Stephen Damik, and Father Stephen DeYoung,

host this live call-in show, focused on enchantment in creation,

the union of the scene and unseen as made by God and experienced by mankind throughout history.

Welcome to the Lord of Spirits.

Good evening, giant killers, dragon slayers, defeaters of the drow of the underdark.

You're listening to the Lord of Spirons podcast co-host, Father Stephen DeYoung, The Bain of Bob Goblins, is with me straight from the swamp Lafayette, Louisiana, and I'm Father Andrew Stephen Dayman. I first read that as Bain of the Boga Meals, which would have been far more interesting. Are you? Have you ever taken a... I don't know. You'd have to ask them. Oh. Bogamiels, call in. Let us know. How do you feel about butter stupid? If you even listen. Yeah. Are there any of those around? There must be... I mean, this is the internet age. There's people claiming to be all kinds of things.

I want us to have an Ekincar listener.

That's what I really want.

But I am in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, perched precariously atop the Arcane Tower of Podcasting, hovering dozens of stories above a disused gateway to the underworld.

And we are live.

And if you are listening to us live, you can call us at 855-237-234-6. You can talk to us, and we're going to get your calls in the second half of the show, and Matushka, Trudy the Tank Richter will be taking your calls. And tonight, I scarcely have any idea of what monological dronings on Father Stephen has in store,

but I think it's something to do with time and space again.

So we're going full Hegelian this time around, right?

The big question, though, is what is it all leading up to?
