Summary/Abstract: „Miesięcznik Egzorcysta” (The Exorcist Monthly) is a interesting phenomenon in the Polish press market. A self-proclaimed “modern tool of evangelisation” tries to find balance between a serious religious magazine and tabloidized periodical about demons, magic and the occult. This paper is concentrated on the views of women and womanhood appearing in the articles. A figure of Holy Mary was given special attention, as well as views on women as mothers and role-models for the catholic society. It turns out that the fertility of a woman is a pressing issue. Also a predilection for any kind of magical or divinational act is a typically feminine trait. The problem of presence of women in the editorial crew of the magazine is also described.
