Welcome!

Medieval Demon

Welcome to the course blog. You'll be posting here as part of your work for this class. As explained on the syllabus and on Moodle, if you are working for a B for this part of your grade, you only need to post two times over the course of the semester. If you are working on an A or A- for this portion of your grade, you need to post three or four times.

You might be wondering what you should post about. Your posts can be anything related to Satan and the Supernatural, especially as they are related to the religious traditions that emerged out of the Mediterranean (i.e., Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Greek, and Roman traditions). You can post about TV shows, movies, books, art, history, music, news stories, etc. 

Posts should be about 150-200 words. For your information, I've just reached about 140 words so far in this post. I'm not going to count words, so you go under or over a bit. However, your posts should be thoughtful and substantive. You are also encouraged to include images and links. You can also use tags (e.g., music, art, tv, movie) to help us organize our posts

I look forward to reading what you post and your responses to others!
