As a London Month of the Dead regular, I was chuffed to have an event around Christmas. The performance was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect!

The Devil is a figure of fascination. Over the centuries, he has
been depicted as a tempting snake, a malicious goat, a tragic
fallen angel, a terrifying, cloven footed beast and even a squeaky
voiced, saucy South Park character. He has captured the attention
of writers, poets, folklorists, historians, philosophers and most
obviously, the Catholic Church. But few people know the role that
he has played in shaping the law. Satan has played central roles in
a whole array of cases. If the allegations are to be believed,
Lucifer and his impish minions have led women to commit acts of
witchcraft, often involving kissing various orifices. They have
possessed people’s minds and sent messages through rock music,
tricking them into committing horrible crimes. A demon has even
taken physical form to torment and abuse a BBC
journalist.
Join barrister and supernatural-enthusiast Naomi Ryan for a look at
some truly Luciferian law. Learn about murder cases involving
demonic possession and satanic cases of slander. Listen to
recordings of demons that were actually played to judges and hear
about the lascivious acts of loyalty witches had to show to their
Satanic master. But most importantly of all, learn how judges,
barristers and juries have engaged with these baffling claims to
ensure that in most cases, justice was done to all.

Ryan
Naomi Ryan is a
criminal barrister and lover of all things macabre. After
qualifying with a Masters in Law from St Catherine’s College,
Oxford, she taught criminal law to undergraduates at St Hilda’s
College Oxford and University College London before embarking on
her career as a criminal barrister, where she both prosecuted and
defended. She now works as an advisory lawyer on criminal matters
within the Civil Service and writes and delivers talks about the
darker side of legal history. She regrets that she has yet to
cross-examine Satan or any of his minions.
