Season Two (Ep 38) Bella opens with a quick plea for listeners to get their flu shots, then introduces omnism, the view that every religion holds some piece of  common truths and valid insight and none has a monopoly on it. She uses that as a frame for a bigger topic: a viral Gaia video in which Elizabeth April describes being an extraterrestrial temporarily living in a human body and discusses co...

Season Two (Ep 36) A cardinal lands outside Bella's window, and she takes it as a hello from Satan — a fitting omen to open the finale of the Leviathan series.

Season Two (Ep 36) This second episode in the Leviathan series shifts from lore to Bella's personal practice of what it's actually like to work with him.

Before reaching out to him (unless he's already reaching out to you), she recommends knowin...

Season Two (Ep 34) This episode of Lunchtime with Demons opens with a heavy disclaimer before diving into deliberately taboo occult territory bindings, patron work, god-spousal rites, pregnancies with divine entities, and other-dimensional lives.
