The season calls for a look beyond the veil of the Temenos archives. John Björkman's article "The Spirit of the Place and the Place of the Spirit: Local Spirits, Boundaries, and Social Order in Southwest Finnish Folklore" discusses the meaning of local spirits and takes us to the borderlands of society, touching on taboos - and maybe some taBoooos as well. 👻
Something to read while waiting for our December issue.

Fellow games-researchers,
we are looking forward to submissions to the open panel "Religion, Values, and Games - Perspectives and Approaches beyond Representation" at this year's EASR-conferene, hosted in Vilnius, Lithuania.
This panel builds on scholarship exploring the intersection of religion, technology, and the UFO phenomenon. Recently the stigma associated with UFOs appears to be fading. What does this mean for religion and religious studies scholars and the relationship between religion and technology?
