RT @nick_routledge: @craigmod Deeply lucid, Craig. Thank you. On the power of precise naming, Wink, Barth, Illich, Moltmann, Girard, Ellul, Jung and Hillman among others, are clear: naming the demonic delivers diagnosis to its decisive edge—"the first act of exorcism". Naming as counterforce to black magic.

Where the Word sounds, the Real can bear weight again.
