What if hell was never real — at least not the way you were taught? In this episode of Medium with a Mic, Kari traces the word "hell" back to its original Hebrew and Greek roots — Sheol, Hades, Gehenna, and Tartarus — and reveals that every single one of them meant something far less terrifying than eternal fire. The word hell as we know it was built on mistranslation, shaped by a medieval poem, and used for centuries as a tool of fear and control.
But that's only half the story. Kari also examines who the devil and Satan actually were in ancient scripture — a Latin metaphor for a Babylonian king, a Hebrew title meaning "the accuser," a prosecutorial role operating with divine permission — and asks the question that changes everything: what if most of what we call evil is actually misinterpreted fear? Drawing on Jungian psychology, biblical scholarship, and her own years of experience as a psychic medium and intuitive empath, this episode dismantles the architecture of fear-based religion and replaces it with something far more empowering — understanding.
