ASMR for Bedtime - Legend of Faust and Other Deals With the Devil (Halloween Special)

Рет қаралды 101,827

Күн бұрын

The "pact with the devil" is a cultural motif that keeps coming back in stories. The legend of Faust is a good example, but not the oldest: it took inspiration from other stories, such as the legend of Theophilus. In this episode, I tell you some of these stories. We will also discover the real, historical figures that inspired them (Theophilus, Johann Faust, Pope Sylvester II, Saemundr Sigfússon...), and the firm belief in the existence of such pacts, that were often invoked in witchcraft trials from the Middle Ages to the Seventeenth Century. As an example, I tell you the story of the Loudun Possessions, one of the last and most spectacular witchcraft trials in France.

Hey sir....ok i'll say it in the simplest way i can, sir i am recovering addict, been clean for 1.5 years, but ever since i quit, I CANT SLEEP, but when i came across your channel last month, your voice somehow puts me to sleep, but for me the 1 hour talking videos dosnt work, so i use those long 2 hour talking compilations to sleep But still, 2 hours to sleep is alot of an improvement for me considering i couldn't sleep for all night or even 2 nights sometimes! Thnx for your work sir!

Thanks! You can use my playlists or make your own with several videos if you want longer talks. There are no ads at the beginning or the end, so it should work smoothly.

@@HaintblueReeGive it a go. It's been 35 years since I read it, so I'm not sure if it could Everhart that impact on me again. It's a morality play that I think really seeped into my soul and shaped my view on veracious greed as being an evil.

This is amazing. Thank you for posting it. Knew the original, knew the Jodeci cover, but this is a whole other thing. The emotion in the words at 2:07 brings me to tears. So sad to remember how such a great talent that brought joy and comfort to her fans did exactly as the lyric said, very slowly picked herself apart. Rest in peace, dear lady.
