"Yael and Schwab dig into one of the most fascinating artifacts of #Jewish antiquity: the #Babylonian incantation bowls. These 5th–6th century earthenware bowls, found primarily in modern-day #Iraq, were used by #Jews—and their neighbors—as #magical #amulets to ward off #demons, secure love, boost fertility, and protect homes. The conversation explores how these artifacts reflect the everyday concerns of Jews in late antiquity, how they blur the line between #halacha and #magic, and what they reveal about cultural exchange across ancient religions. Whether you’re into Jewish magic, #rabbinic #history, or just want to know how to trap a #demon in your cereal bowl, this episode has you covered."
