This video explores the fascinating figure of Paimon, one of the most prominent kings of the Goetia, tracing his journey from early modern demonological catalogues to his reinvention in contemporary occultism and popular culture. We will examine how his image shifts across grimoires, from Johann Weyer's Pseudomonarchia Daemonum to the Ars Goetia, and how his regal yet ambiguous traits became symbols of hidden wisdom, exotic authority, and intellectual mastery. The talk also considers Aleister Crowley's psychological reinterpretation, the adaptations within Left-Hand Path traditions, and the transformation of Paimon into a mentor-like figure in modern demonolatry. Finally, we look at his unexpected entry into mainstream media through Ari Aster's Hereditary and his reimagining in gaming and internet culture. Paimon's enduring appeal lies not in stability but in continual reinvention, making him a key case study in the dynamics of Western esotericism.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Send us a textPat Davies enjoyed participating in a variety of sports in his youth, including Little League and swimming. As an adult, he found new outlets for his competitive spirit, spending a decade in karate, moving into marathons and ultrarunning, hiking, and even competing in the unique “ride and tie” races that combine running with endurance horseback riding. He has completed over 100 hikes to the top of Lone Peak, over 11,000 feet up in the Wasatch front in Northern Utah. Now 68, Pat embraced gravel biking a year ago, and this summer, he completed a 4,000-mile solo ride across the United States from Anacortes, Washington to Maine. While members of his family would sometimes meet him at stops along the way, he braved storms, equipment breakdowns, headwinds, and long lonely roads, averaging 76 miles a day and chronicling the journey through daily YouTube videos. Pat lives in Sandy, Utah with his wife and four children and continues to prove that adventure doesn't have an age limit.

What does it mean to be a woman today? Our culture has turned this into a debate, but for many young women—especially in Christian homes and schools—the real struggle comes in sorting through competing voices, conflicting priorities, and a lack of clear role models.In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies sits down with his daughter, Hannah Owens, founder of The Swish Magazine. Drawing from her own classical Christian upbringing, Hannah shares how she came face-to-face with the confusion around womanhood in her Gen Z college years and why she's now committed to recovering a vision of classical femininity—the preservation and reflection of truth, goodness, and beauty in womanhood.Together they discuss:Why Gen Z women often prioritize career over marriage and family—and what that reveals about cultural messaging.The gap between “pioneer bonnets” and modern feminism—and why girls need something more rooted and hopeful in between.How role models, from Princess Catherine to contemporary Christian entrepreneurs, can embody duty, beauty, and service.Practical ways parents and schools can guide daughters toward confident, Christ-centered womanhood.From family photo walls to auditing media habits, Hannah offers tangible steps to help reframe femininity not as performance, but as calling. This is a conversation for parents, educators, and young women alike who long to celebrate the true, good, and beautiful in a culture that has lost its way.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:The Herzog FoundationThe Champion GroupZipCastWilson Hill AcademyLife Architects Coaching Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

Former President **Bill Clinton's inscription to Ghislaine Maxwell — “To Ghislaine, with love” — in a signed copy of his memoir is more than just a casual gesture; it reeks of intimacy and poor judgment. At a time when Maxwell was already deeply enmeshed in Epstein's world, such a public figure choosing to gift her a personalized keepsake raises troubling questions about the depth of his relationship with her. It underscores the hypocrisy of powerful leaders who later sought to distance themselves from Epstein and Maxwell, even as evidence continues to surface showing they were more than passing acquaintances.In 2002, a photograph surfaced showing former President Bill Clinton receiving a shoulder massage at an airport from Chauntae Davies, who later became one of Jeffrey Epstein's accusers. The image was taken during a stopover while Clinton's jet refueled en route to Africa on what was described as a humanitarian mission. Davies was 22 at the time. She later said that the massage was solicited by Ghislaine Maxwell, and that Clinton had complained of stiffness from sleeping in his seat. She characterized Clinton's behavior as “perfect gentleman” and denied any inappropriate conduct occurredto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Clementine Davies tiene una ascendencia notablemente multicultural: su familia materna es belga y su padre sudafricano. Ella y uno de sus hermanos nacieron en Uruguay, mientras que su hermano menor es guatemalteco. El trabajo de su padre los mantuvo en constante movimiento, viviendo en distintos lugares alrededor del mundo. Sin embargo, cuando ya habían echado raíces en Uruguay y Clementine comenzaba su adolescencia, su padre enfrentó una quiebra económica que los trajo a Colombia en busca de nuevas oportunidades.Este cambio resultó especialmente difícil para Clemen y sus hermanos, quienes se vieron obligados a adaptarse a otro entorno, a forjar nuevas amistades y a entender dinámicas distintas. Fueron varios años marcados por el rechazo y el proceso de adaptación. Hoy, casi trece años después, Clementine considera a Colombia su hogar; un lugar que forma parte de su cultura e identidad. Aunque reconoce que esta mezcla multicultural ha sido enriquecedora, también ha traído desafíos y preguntas que parecen superficiales pero que realmente son profundas y trascendentales: ¿aquí o allá?@clemedavies

Earlier this year, a new movie called “My Father's Shadow” made history when it became the first Nigerian film to be officially selected for the Cannes Film Festival. Set over the course of a single day in Lagos in 1993 (a day that happens to be one of the most catastrophic in Nigerian history), the film follows two young boys who join their father on a trip to the city so he can collect his paycheck. The story is semi-autobiographical, based on director Akinola Davies Jr.'s own family experiences. During this year's Toronto International Film Festival, Akinola sat down with Tom Power to talk about memory, Nigeria's lesser known history, and the stuff you learn about your parents after they're gone.

Graphic Refuge: Visuality and Mobility in Refugee Comics (Wilfred Laurier University Press, 2025) by Dr. Dominic Davies & Dr. Candida Rifkind is the first in-depth study of comics about refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, and detainees by artists from the Global North and South. Co-written by two leading scholars of nonfiction comics, the book explores graphic narratives about a range of refugee experiences, from war, displacement, and perilous sea crossings to detention camps, resettlement schemes, and second-generation diasporas. Through close readings of work by diverse artists including Joe Sacco, Sarah Glidden, Don Brown, Olivier Kugler, Jasper Rietman, Hamid Sulaiman, Leila Abdelrazzaq, Thi Bui, and Matt Huynh, Graphic Refuge shows how comics challenge dominant representations of the displaced to bring a radical politics of refugee agency and refusal into view. Beyond simply affirming the “humanity” of the refugee, these comics demand that we apprehend the historical construction of categories such as “citizen” and “refugee” through systems of empire, settler colonialism, and racial capitalism. The comics medium allows readers not only to visualize the lives of refugees but also refocuses the lens on citizen non-refugees—“we who can sleep under warm cover at night”, as Vinh Nguyen writes in his foreword—and interrogates their perceptions, aspirations, and beliefs. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

A key technology leader at the Department of Veterans Affairs told lawmakers Monday that the agency intends to “capitalize” on artificial intelligence to help overcome its persistent difficulties in providing timely care and maintaining cost-effective operations. At the same time, a federal watchdog warned the same lawmakers that the VA could face challenges before the agency can effectively do so. Lawmakers on the House VA subcommittee on technology modernization pressed Charles Worthington, the VA's chief data officer and chief technology officer, over the agency's plans to deploy AI across its dozens of facilities as the federal government increasingly turns to automation technology. Worthington told the subcommittee that all VA employees now have access to a secure, generative AI tool to assist them with their work, claiming that it's saving them over two hours per week. He also outlined how the agency is utilizing machine learning in agency workflows, as well as in clinical care for earlier disease detection and ambient listening tools that are expected to be rolled out at some facilities later this year. The technology can also be used to identify veterans who may be at high risk of overdose and suicide, Worthington added. A slew of cybersecurity experts from industry and other organizations sent a letter to lawmakers Monday urging them to move swiftly to confirm Kirsten Davies as Department of Defense chief information officer. The letter, addressed to members of the Senate Armed Services Committee and viewed by DefenseScoop, includes more than 100 signatories. President Donald Trump nominated Davies for the role back in May, but the SASC waited until this week to hold her confirmation hearing, which is scheduled for Thursday. The cybersecurity experts who penned the new letter expressed their “strongest support” for the nominee. In the letter they wrote: “Ms. Davies is a leader we know personally and professionally. Many of us have collaborated with her, witnessed her steady hand in high-stakes situations, and observed her ability to lead with both conviction and humility. She has built a reputation as a world-class cybersecurity executive who can earn trust, build teams, and navigate complexity.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Graphic Refuge: Visuality and Mobility in Refugee Comics (Wilfred Laurier University Press, 2025) by Dr. Dominic Davies & Dr. Candida Rifkind is the first in-depth study of comics about refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, and detainees by artists from the Global North and South. Co-written by two leading scholars of nonfiction comics, the book explores graphic narratives about a range of refugee experiences, from war, displacement, and perilous sea crossings to detention camps, resettlement schemes, and second-generation diasporas. Through close readings of work by diverse artists including Joe Sacco, Sarah Glidden, Don Brown, Olivier Kugler, Jasper Rietman, Hamid Sulaiman, Leila Abdelrazzaq, Thi Bui, and Matt Huynh, Graphic Refuge shows how comics challenge dominant representations of the displaced to bring a radical politics of refugee agency and refusal into view.

In the Public Interest is excited to continue In That Case, its third annual miniseries examining notable decisions recently issued by the US Supreme Court. In this episode, host Felicia Ellsworth speaks with WilmerHale Partner Andrew Rhys Davies and Senior Attorney for the ACLU's National LGBTQ and HIV projects Josh Block about United States v. Skrmetti. The case considers whether a Tennessee state law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth violates the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause.Davies and Block unpack the legal reasoning behind the Supreme Court's 6–3 ruling, including the international context highlighted in WilmerHale's amicus brief. Block also reflects on the decision's potential impact on future civil rights litigation and its immediate consequences for the transgender community and access to gender-affirming healthcare.

This SPECIAL EPISODE is a tribute to RICK DAVIES, who died this past week at age 81. Rick was the founder of, and one of the two lead singer-songwriters of, Supertramp, one of the greatest bands of the rock era. In 1979 the band hit their zenith with the album “Breakfast In America”, which sold over 20 million records.Rick played keyboards and wrote several of the band's greatest hits. His songs had a blusier, edgier sound to them than those of Roger Hodgson, the other lead songwriter, who wrote more pop oriented songs which he sang in his high tenor voice. Together, however, these two guys provided the yin and yang of Supertramp which defined the band and made them a success.Rick's first band, called Rick's Blues, included Gilbert O'Sullivan on the drums. In August 1969 he placed an ad in Melody Maker seeking to form a new band, and Roger Hodgson auditioned and joined. Supertramp's first successful album was 1974's “Crime Of The Century”. It contained “Bloody Well Right”, Rick's first hit.  The band's breakthrough album was “Breakfast In America”, which contained another Davies hit, “Goodbye Stranger”. Like most rock bands, however, creative differences and jealousies eventually split up Supertramp. But for the time that they were together they were a fantastic, creative band - one of the best of the rock era - under the leadership of Rick Davies.------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!Click here for All Episodes Click here for Guest List Click here for Guest Groupings Click here for Guest TestimonialsClick here to Subscribe Click here to receive our Email UpdatesClick here to Rate and Review the podcast—----------------------------------------ROBERT'S NEWEST SINGLE:“SUNDAY SLIDE” is Robert's newest single.

What happens when we take justice into our own hands? Author Ben C. Davies joins Purple Political Breakdown to explore the complex reality of systemic injustice and individual response.In this thought-provoking guest episode, we dive deep into the intersection of politics, justice, and human nature with Ben C. Davies, UK-born author of "And So I Took Their Eye" - a debut collection that examines how people seek justice when institutions fail them. Drawing from his experiences living in Guatemala, the UK, and the United States, Davies offers a nuanced perspective that transcends traditional political boundaries.Key Discussion Points:Why both major political parties - Democrats and Republicans, Labour and Conservative - are failing citizensHow wealth inequality and institutional breakdown drive people to seek personal justiceThe difference between community-based support systems (Scandinavian model) vs. American individualismReal-world examples from Guatemala's "eye for an eye" culture and how it manifests globallyThe role of empathy and storytelling in bridging political dividesWhy current immigration rhetoric and foreign aid cuts reveal our disconnect from human consequencesDavies, who teaches at California College of the Arts and co-runs a Guatemalan writing residency, brings unique insights from someone who's witnessed political systems across multiple continents. His book critiques both left-wing and right-wing institutions while exploring what drives ordinary people to take matters into their own hands when systems fail.This episode aligns perfectly with Purple Political Breakdown's mission - examining where our institutions are failing people without partisan agenda, focusing on the human cost of political polarization and the search for authentic solutions beyond traditional party lines.Perfect for listeners interested in political philosophy, social justice, international perspectives on American politics, and the psychological roots of political behavior.Keywords & SEO TagsPrimary Keywords: political justice, institutional failure, wealth inequality, political polarization, bipartisan critique, social systems, political philosophy, international politics perspectiveSecondary Keywords: Guatemala politics, immigration policy consequences, Scandinavian socialism, American individualism, foreign aid impact, political empathy, systemic injustice, cross-cultural politicsAuthor/Book Keywords: Ben C Davies, And So I Took Their Eye, political fiction, California College Arts, Guatemala writing residency, UK author, political storytellingTopic-Specific Keywords: eye for an eye justice, community support systems, tax policy discussion, political institutions critique, human rights advocacy, cultural political differencesIG: @bendaviesauthorwww.bendaviesauthor.comStandard Resource Links & RecommendationsThe following organizations and platforms represent valuable resources for balanced political discourse and democratic participation: PODCAST NETWORKALIVE Podcast Network - Check out the ALIVE Network where you can catch a lot of great podcasts like my own, led by amazing Black voices.

In this insightful episode of RiskCellar, hosts Brandon and Nick delve deep into the evolving world of litigation finance with special guest Nick Rowles-Davies, CEO of Lexolent. Nick shares his extensive experience across the UK and international litigation finance landscape, highlighting the industry's foundational purpose: enabling access to justice for those who otherwise could not afford to pursue valid claims. The conversation covers the broad spectrum of litigation finance, from consumer funding and law firm lending to high-stakes commercial disputes, and the stringent underwriting processes that ensure careful risk management.The discussion compares the UK and US legal systems, exploring the impact of adverse cost rules in the UK versus juries and nuclear verdicts in the US. Recent regulatory developments, including Arizona's pioneering mandatory disclosure requirement for litigation funding, are considered. The episode also highlights how technology and AI are transforming case identification and underwriting. Listeners gain balanced perspectives on litigation finance's role as a driver of fairness and disruption within the legal and insurance landscapes.Key Takeaways:Litigation finance began as a vehicle for access to justice.Multiple types exist: consumer, law firm, and commercial funding.Rigorous due diligence leads to funding very few cases.UK's “loser pays” deters frivolous lawsuits, unlike US approach.Arizona's disclosure rule promotes funding transparency.Litigation finance in US is a small but growing industry.AI and tech play increasing roles in deal sourcing and assessment.Collaboration with insurers aligns interests.Litigation finance can facilitate fairer outcomes and longer negotiations.Transparency and regulation are essential for credibility.Social and legal differences affect litigation finance globally.Legal technology promises further evolution.Challenges remain regarding lawsuit inflation and insurance impacts.Episode Chapters:00:00 Intro & sponsor message05:00 Origins and purposes of litigation finance15:00 Types of funding and underwriting approach25:00 UK vs US legal system differences35:00 Arizona's funding disclosure and regulation trends45:00 Technology & AI in litigation finance55:00 Case examples and insurance ecosystem effects65:00 Social influences & nuclear verdict concerns75:00 Closing thoughts & outroConnect with RiskCellar:Website: https://www.riskcellar.com/Guest: Nick Rowles-DaviesLexolent Website: https://www.lexolent.com/nick-rowles-daviesNick Rowles-Davies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-rowles-davies/ Brandon Schuh:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552710523314LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-stephen-schuh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/schuhpapa/Nick Hartmann:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjhartmann/

The game of basketball is perceived by most today as an “urban” game with a locale such as Rucker Park in Harlem as the game's epicenter (as well as a pipeline to the NBA). While that is certainly a true statement, basketball is not limited to places such as New York City. In recent years scholars have written about the meaning of the game (and triumphs on the hardwood) to other groups, such as Asian Americans (Kathleen Yep and Joel Franks) and Mexican Americans (Ignacio Garcia). To this important literature one can now add an examination of the sport in the lives of Native Americans, through Wade Davies' Native Hoops: The Rise of American Indian Basketball, 1895-1970 (University Press of Kansas, 2020). The game, as Davies notes, was not just something imposed upon Natives in locales such as the Indian Industrial Training School in Kansas (and elsewhere). The game provided linkages to the Native past, and was embraced as a way to “prove their worth” within a hostile environment designed to strip students of all vestiges of their cultural inheritance. The sport provided both young men and women with an opportunity to compete against members of other institutions (both Native and white) and to challenge notions of inferiority and inherent weaknesses. Davies' work does an excellent job of detailing the role of the sport in the lives of individuals, schools, and eventually, Native communities. Additionally, it examines how these players competed against sometimes seven opponents (the five players on the court and the two officials) to claim their rightful place on the court. They also often had to deal with the taunts and racism of crowds at opposing gyms. Still, most of these schools managed to field competitive teams that created their own “Indian” style of basketball that proved quite difficult to defeat.

For this episode of Liminal Library, I interviewed Dan Davies about The Unaccountability Machine: Why Big Systems Make Terrible Decisions—and How the World Lost Its Mind (U Chicago Press, 2025). Davies examines how we've systematically engineered responsibility out of our institutions, creating a world where major decisions happen without clear human accountability. Davies draws on Stafford Beer's cybernetics to explain how modern organizations function as systems with their own patterns and responses. As he puts it, "the system is not conscious and so does not have incentives, but it has consistent patterns of response to stimuli." This isn't about individual moral failures – it's about the industrialization of decision-making itself. We've moved from Harry Truman's "The Buck Stops Here" to complex processes and standardized criteria that diffuse responsibility across multiple layers. When things go wrong – financial crises, environmental failures, social breakdowns – no single person can be held accountable because no single person actually made the decision. Davies traces this transformation through three revolutions: the managerial revolution that shifted control from owners to professional administrators, the cybernetic revolution that offered tools to understand these systems but never fully materialized, and the neoliberal revolution that reshaped society while ignoring that increasingly, systems rather than people make the decisions affecting our lives. These accountability machines, as Davies calls them, operate according to their own logic and constraints. Understanding them is essential for grasping why institutional failures seem both inevitable and impossible to prevent within our current frameworks. Learn more about your ad choices.

Some Writers Think Life is OverratedWilliam Shakespeare wrote, “This life… is but a walking shadow; a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”Songwriter K.D. Lang put it more simply, “Life is a sexually transmitted disease and the mortality rate is one hundred percent.”Some Writers Think Life is an AdventureJoseph Campbell wrote, “The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure.”Susan Ryan said, “We get to show up. We get to step into this story.”Some Writers Think Life is SimpleSongwriter John Lennon said, “When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.' They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.”Business writer Tom Peters said, “Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.”Some Writers Think Life is About WritingNobel-Prizewinning author Gabriel García Márquez wrote, “Life is not what one lived, but what one remembers and how one remembers it in order to recount it.”Anne Lamott, the author of Bird by Bird says, “Becoming a writer is about becoming conscious. When you're conscious and writing from a place of insight and simplicity and real caring about the truth, you have the ability to throw the lights on for your reader.
