Halloween Special: The Cursed Stone of ChatGPT & Other Medieval Tales
The Maniculum Podcast
About
In this year’s Halloween episode, we’re jumping back to a collection of monk’s tales where the usual solution to clerical problems seemed to be “summon a demon and see what happens.” Spoiler: it never goes well. In these grim tales from Caesarius of Heisterbach, sinners make questionable supernatural bargains, demons turn up to collect, and saints repeatedly arrive to ruin everyone’s fun.
