Fighting Malevolent Spirits: A Demonologist's Darkest Encounters Read Online Free

cases in which Ouija boards were used, but none of the families thought to protect themselves with a prayer like, “No evil or negative entities are allowed to speak or connect with us, only positive and loving spirits may communicate. In God’s name we pray. Amen.”
    I like to compare people using an Ouija board to being a telemarketer—you’re calling all these phone numbers and you have no idea what type of person is going to answer the phone. It is a very dangerous situation to be in, especially when adolescents use the board under the influence of substances, making themselves even more vulnerable. Have respect for the dangers and use a protection prayer or stay away from an Ouija board entirely.
    There are other routes in which demons can enter someone’s life, but they are much less common than the above reasons. Sometimes demons are drawn to a person’s aura, energy, and personality. Demons can also be attracted to someone from a public place like a hospital and prey on that individual during their recovery or illness.
    Surprisingly, there have been cases involving rape victims. If they didn’t receive adequate counseling or closure, the demon was drawn in through their resentment, anger, and depression over the incident.
    Death of a family member, friend, or loved one can also create negative feelings of anguish, anger, loss of faith in God, and other problematic emotions that can attract a demon. Fully experiencing and accepting death or a tragic event is therapeutic; however, if the negative feelings continue for a prolonged period of time, an individual may be putting themselves more at risk.
    I have also studied cases of “ancestral demonic oppression” in which the demonic entity is inherited through the family line over the years—meaning the demon attaches itself to different family members as time passes.
    Satanic worship is also a direct way to attach a demon to an individual. Sometimes clients will admit that they worshiped the devil or dabbled with quasi-satanic rituals when they were younger, thinking that it would fade away over the years. I believe that Satanism is selfish, naïve, and cruel—it also gives the illusion of power but is very fleeting. Most of all, it gives the worshipers the delusion that they are in control. No human ever controls or owns evil, despite what the entity may convince the individual to believe. Demons are parasites and will use the Satanist until they are no longer useful. We all know good always wins over evil anyway, right? Why bother meddling with the dark?
    Is a poltergeist a demon?
    From my experiences, I have found that most often, “poltergeist” cases are usually demonic in nature. Some theorists believe that a poltergeist is the result of a person’s subconscious, or personal energy, manifesting the events and causing a haunting without their awareness—thus it seems that a foreign spirit is active in the home. (I no longer agree with this theory after years of experiencing supposed poltergeist cases.) However, I do believe that it is possible for a person’s energy, such as an adolescent’s, to attract an entity, which may lead to a haunting. It is extremely rare for a human spirit or personal energy to manifest such power and violence that poltergeist cases exhibit. If you are dealing with a poltergeist, it’s best to perform a cleansing and remove the entity as soon as possible.
    How can I perform a cleansing?
    As my views and experiences have grown and evolved over time, so have my methods for house blessings. When I first started working with cleansings, I solely used white sage. From there, I incorporated olive oil, salt, holy water, and have experimented with various other herbs, plants, and incenses. In every room and area of the property I’m working in, I burn white sage (bathrooms, closets, basements, garages, etc.). I then sprinkle salt in every corner and draw a line of salt at each doorway and entrance into the home. Using the olive
