This may become a tradition . . . We are having a GIVEAWAY RE-RUN! Last year, we had this same giveaway, but let’s do it again for 2019. The saying goes “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” We love celebrating holidays, but as much as the retail marketers tell us that it’s time for […]

The key to it all… (OK, maybe not THE key, but A key 😝) Description: Through a series of tussles (verbal/physical) between the head of the de Clermont family and the Grand Master of the Knights of Lazarus, we finally learn who in the family actually holds that elusive seat on the Congregation, and where […]

🥳 2020 is almost over! That’s a big reason to celebrate!🎄 Hello, friends! We are celebrating the end of the year with a huge GIVEAWAY! We wish you all a merry Christmas, a cool Yule, a happy Hanukkah, and a festive whatever your reason for the season! We haven’t been very celebratory this year, so […]

Description: Ysabeau spills the tea on Matthew’s past, we get to see vampires hunting, we watch the Congregation plotting (together and against one another!), and we learn how Matthew actually feels about Diana. There’s other things thrown in there like the Knights of Lazarus, mating, suicide, and schmexy science-y stuff.  Our wary hearts are eventually […]

Description: ADOW ch 35-38 – Settled into the Bishop house, Matthew Clairmont and Diana Bishop are faced with many problems: avoiding the wrath of the congregation, making sense of Diana’s magical limitations, and figuring out the meaning of the wayward page from Ashmole 782 that the house delivered to them in chapter 34. We soon […]

One of my favorite sayings is “when something goes wrong, just yell ‘plot twist!’ and move on.” I use it whenever the unexpected happens–good or bad–and this saying has been echoing around in my house lately. There is so much going […]

As we journey to this ending, we must remember that there are still new beginnings! Description: Jean calls this episode a prologue to Season 3, and it is, but it does manage to tie up Season 2 sufficiently enough for us. We say goodbye to Goody, the coven, Susanna, Father Hubbard, Pierre, Françoise, Jack (😢), […]

Ah, the Ridiculously Random Recap!  Why the name?  Because it’s a recap.  And it’s random (ridiculously so).  There is no rhyme, reason or rationale, reference the timing of it’s recurring release.  Also, alliterations are almost always adored by able, yet addled daemons! We have quite a few things to report in case you missed them […]

Description: Gallowglass. That’s what we’re talking about here! Daemons and Discussers alike have all of the feels! Both good and bad! We also discuss our own reception of the Book of Life back in 2014. SPOILER ALERT! We (The Daemons) approach this podcast with an assumption that the listener has read The All Souls Trilogy, […]

Description: Time has arrived for us to start diving into these books!  Now that we’ve covered many of the primer subjects, it’s given us sufficient foundation for the dissection of this trilogy called All Souls.  Join along as we revisit the beloved words in our favorite series!  Not so much a read along per se, […]

Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor Description: It’s a double feature! Yes, we are covering chapters 26 and 27 of Shadow of Night in one shot (it explains the length of the episode). In chapter 26, we meet a new (to us) de Clermont; Verin … and her husband Ernst. We reunite with present-day Gallowglass, and […]
