the most fun moments were smacking into things i knew of through the gauzy haze of Christian demonology like i'm reading some sentence, and there's this word "ashtarot". in context it's obviously not a name, but i translate "the… Astaroth?"

the great thing about a legalistic tradition is that it literally doesn't matter why i want to learn, the mitzvah to teach is the mitzvah to teach
