  • The Kabbalah changed a great deal in Judaism including the conception of possession and exorcism. This episode of Esoterica explores the development of these concepts in rabbinical Judaism and the rise of Kabbalah, especially Lurianic Kabbalah in the 16th century. Here we discuss the idea of the Dybbuk - the evil dead returned to possess the living - but also the idea of Ibbur or beneficent spiritual pregnancy in which the soul of the righteous dead actually comes to dwell in the body of the kabbalist!

    Dr. Justin Sledge I am your biggest fan, "They're getting mystically pregnant. The more you know!" made me laugh so hard. I am having the absolute time of my life watching your videos, I have ADHD so its so rare that anything can capture my attention for even 5 seconds let alone for 2 hours over the course of two videos! I'm hooked! Thank you so much for doing what you do!!

    I'll never be righteous enough to perform a ritual to ask the Prince of the Torah to explain the deeper mysteries of Judaism to me instantly, but I can fall asleep with your playlists on and wake up able to follow your livestreamed discussions with other theologians. I'm putting that in the close enough column.

    Your word “Dybbukdom”sounds attractively onomatopoeic for a drum figure.Seriously your channel has taught an old man so much about his neglected religion.Sincere Thanks!

    The Maya Cenote Sacred wells ..Cenotes had a symbolic use, as the ancient Maya regarded cenotes as one of the three symbolic entryways to Xibalba (shi-bal-bah), the Maya underworld. The other two entryways are caves and the ballcourt where the Maya ballgame was played. Because cenotes were viewed in this sacred way, the ancient Maya would throw offerings into these pools to communicate with gods and ancestors. interesting how common certain ideas transcend over distant cultures through would history..

    I remember when I was about 16 years old at about 3am on a Shavuot night a rabbi taught me and a friend a story of exorcism from Sefer shomer Amorim. Now over 20 years later I still remember almost every word of that story. Never heard anything like that before. This was before the movie the exorcist
