Nice! Produced it for the video, or do you release music on another platform/YT account?

[@americanesoteric]

@@Brian-qt6su I’ve been producing for years and used to DJ etc. I have a lot of music that hasn’t seen the light of day.

Psellus seems to have conflated the Titans and other beings in Tartarus with the daemons. It almost becomes a necessary part of the work to reclaim the gods and daemons, to de-Christianize them in a sense.

Here's a poetic rap song from the perspective of Psellus, a Byzantine courtier, on medieval demonology: *Verse 1* Yo, listen up, I'm Psellus in the house Courtier, philosopher, and scholar, no doubt 11th century, Byzantium's where I reside Demonology's my game, let the knowledge glide Demons, daemons, same difference to me Malevolent spirits, wreaking havoc, you see Fallen angels, cast out of heaven's gate Now they roam, seeking human fate *Chorus* Medieval demons, lurking in the night Seeking souls to snare, with wicked delight I'm Psellus, shedding light on the dark Exposing demons, with knowledge, my spark *Verse 2* Empedocles' elements, they twist and turn Earth, air, fire, water, demons learn To manipulate, deceive, and destroy Human minds, their playground, joy and employ Incubi, succubi, seducing in dreams Lilim, Asmodeus, demonic schemes Beezlebub, Belial, princes of darkness Ruling legions, with wickedness *Chorus* Medieval demons, lurking in the night Seeking souls to snare, with wicked delight I'm Psellus, shedding light on the dark Exposing demons, with knowledge, my spark *Verse 3* Protect yourself, with symbols and prayer Holy water, sacred texts, to keep them at bay, beware Amulets, talismans, ward off evil eyes Know thyself, to resist demonic surprise *Chorus* Medieval demons, lurking in the night Seeking souls to snare, with wicked delight I'm Psellus, shedding light on the dark Exposing demons, with knowledge, my spark *Outro* Now you know, the demons' play Beware, be wise, come what may I'm Psellus, your guide through the night Medieval demonology, shining with all my might. Inspired by Psellus' works: - "De Daemonum Operatione" (On the Operation of Demons) - "De Malignis Spiritibus" (On Evil Spirits)
