Two dormmates in college were in the same science class. The teacher had just reminded them about the midterm the next day when one dormmate — let’s call her Juli — got asked to this big bash by the hottest guy in school. The other dormmate, Meg, had pretty much no interest in going and, being a diligent student, she took notes on what the midterm was about. After the entire period of flirting with her date, Juli was totally unprepared for her test, while Meg was completely prepared for a major study date with her books.

The amorphous residues of these beliefs are still tangible in the surviving archaeology of Ancient Egypt.
Defining this category of ‘demons’ is not easy as there is no obvious uniformity to their natures or intent. Some harm, some help. Some inhabit the afterlife, others walk the [ ... ]
