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!
Dr. Huber

DeleteHello hello, my name is Mary Todd (She/her). I am an anthropology major and religious studies minor. I grew up mainly in northern Virginia and North Carolina. I have been looking forward to this class since I found out it was offered! I hope this class may give me and others a space to discuss things that aren't welcome in most social settings (regarding satan and the supernatural) and to discover new perspectives and ways of viewing the past, present, and future.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
Deletehi im ally chiarini! I'm from New Jersey and I study digital content management and entrepreneurship. I took this because I was looking for an advanced studies class and this one caught my eye! I've never seen a class like this offered so I thought it was be an interesting thing to take! I do love supernatural things for sure, especially in regards to shows like Stranger Things, American Horror Story, even Vampire Diaries (idk if that counts lol). Some are more supernatural than others but either way, I'm interested!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are in the class!
DeleteHello! My name is Desmond or Des, either is fine, and I use he/they pronouns. I grew up in Dallas and Raleigh but now I live near Phoenix. I'm a double major in creative writing and classical studies with a minor in game design! This class looked super cool and I'm excited to learn more about Satan and the supernatural, especially to have a better understanding in the way both topics are used in media as well as how I can use them in my own works.
ReplyDeleteI still need to check out Pony Island!
DeleteI'm not sure if you've had the chance to check it out yet, but if you haven't you totally should! Here's the link to the Steam page. It's part of a trio of games with the other ones being The Hex and Inscryption, which all also have ties to Satan and his game design company. Here's also a link to a very thorough video recap I enjoyed when getting into it. I haven't watched it in awhile but I remember enjoying how much detail the creator goes into about all the aspects of the game and his interpretations of it.
