St. Benedict of Nursia - The Patron of Exorcists

Note: This episode and others from this time frame reflect an early stage in my spiritual journey.  While I may or may not not hold these views any longer, I am still keeping these episodes up.  

Why?  Because this is also a historical and folklore podcast, and the folk practices or beliefs discussed are still accurate from an educational and cultural standpoint.

However, if you are interested in my more current views and spiritual outlook, check out the “Reflection” series I recorded in January of 2023.

Get behind me, Satan! Do you need help banishing a hex or curse put on you? Or maybe you want to protect yourself or home from spiritual attack? Benedict might just be your guy! St. Benedict is the patron saint of exorcists and is commonly called to dispel dark energy. His mystical amulet can be found on the altars of witches, folk magic practitioners and traditional Catholics.

We open up this podcast with a story from the life of Benedict, then we discuss how he is petitioned in folk magic, saint magic, and my own personal experiences working with him.
