In Divine Devils, we invoked the magickal powers of the otherworld, bringing forth creatures of our deeper genius, the demons of the Goetia! In this raucous ritual, our emcee took on the role of the medieval magician, calling on the goetic spirits to serve the audience through mind-bending performances and tantalizing dances. Our divine devils inspired and entertained as only the Illumi-Naughtie can!
