On June 7, 2019, I wrote and published my third public article titled, “How I Became A Modern Day Exorcist.” It immediately got curated on Medium’s platform and picked up by one of the site’s biggest publishers to date.
Almost three years later, demonology is trending on Tik Tok. Where content creators are calling in demons to ask for things in exchange for, you guessed it, their soul. Well, fragments of their soul.
Some of these creators are substituting the ‘soul’ aspect of the exchange for words like effort. “You have to put in the time and effort in exchange for what you ask Dagon the demon and he’ll give it to you,” they say to their followers.
Her/him/they/them pronouns are being replaced by the term, demons. The Satanic Temple challenged the heartbeat law in Texas citing religious freedoms. Did you have a Japanese demoness spirit escaping a 1,000-year-old stone last month in March on your bingo card for 2022? I sure did and there’s more coming.
This newfound interest in demonology brought me back to a meditation one morning in 2018. What was shown to me during that meditation shook me. It wasn’t as if there was more darkness that encroached on our world. We lived in the darkness. What was unfolding was the light uncovering the blanket of darkness. The truth was being awakened in many of us.
It was the beginning of the apocalypse.
Before this is flagged as fear-mongering, let’s get down to the root definition of the term, apocalypse.
According to Dictionary.com, the term apocalypse was first recorded in 1125–75; Middle English, from Late Latin apocalypsis, from Greek apokálypsis“revelation,” equivalent to apokalýp(tein) “to uncover, reveal”
The word Apocalypse has taken a meaning in English apart from the original. It has now come to mean widespread disaster as the Book of Revelation describes such. However, the word actually means “revelation” hence the title of the Bible book in English. In fact, it is not just a revelation of the future but rather the person who owns and controls the future, Jesus Christ. “The revelation of Jesus Christ,” Revelation 1:1 wrote Milan Terzic on Quora.
Wars, pandemics, climate change, fires, droughts, and other events are called “apocalyptical”. They are associated with the end of the world scenes seen in the movie Mad Max and The T.V. series, The Walking Dead.
As we round second base with covid-19, the term in itself cannot only encompass the main definition of, ‘an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.’ Similar to the apocalypse’s definition of ‘to uncover, reveal.’
The entire world has taken a beating because of covid-19 and it continues minute after minute, day after day over two years later. When our grandchildren’s grandchildren read about covid-19, they will read about how their great, great, great, great, great, great grandparents lived through an apocalypse also known as covid-19.
We are witnessing a great shift in polarity as prices of food, gas, and basic necessities skyrocket to widen the already large gap. People from all over the world are feeling the pull. Many people are being pushed out of homes they can no longer afford. Some are choosing between paying for gas or going to work. The world we used to remember no longer exists.
The unfolding, the uncovering, the revealing has already begun.
Let us all agree that we are living in crazy times, right? I’m pretty sure many people were cheering on the release of the evil demoness spirit from the 1,000-year-old rock in Japan. It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better and the only thing you can control is, drumroll please, your actions and responses to what is happening around you.
That’s all you can control. It will drive anyone mad trying to process and digest everything we are being fed from the fake news, fake food to fake friends. Let the demonologists do their thing because I know if I focus on what is going on over there, I’m taking away attention from what I specialize in. Unraveling complex behavioral and energetically heavy cases which sometimes, or most times, include demonic attachments for my clients.
People who seek me want help. They are seeking refuge from the chaos within them. I would be an absolute basket case if I tried to help anyone and everyone. Which I once tried to do, you know, help everyone. Recovering people-pleaser here.
Let those trending on Tik Tok invoke those spirits to harvest their energy. Their actions will eventually lead to possession. Is that more work for someone like me? Sure. But I’m over here building and training my own light warrior army to win the spiritual war, not tiny battles.
It took me almost seven years to understand why I became a Modern-Day Exorcist. Not many people have the heart to face their darkness within, let alone battle the darkness for others. To sacrifice their entire life in the name of shining their own light and soul. To sit in the middle of chaotic cities by herself to meditate as if she was on top of a lone mountain. To pick herself up over and over again as the failures seemed insurmountable. To touch the taste of quitting only to spit it out and forge forward with absolute certainty.
It takes a lot of guts, courage, understanding, honor, humility, and aggressive patience to know that the title of Modern Day Exorcist describes me as a woman who specializes in unraveling complex, energetically draining, and emotionally heavy cases.
I’m a whole lotta light and love shining from my heart’s space. Holding and maintaining a frequency of love to continue this work takes a lot more effort than one can imagine. A lot of faith. A lot of trust. A lot of everything.
When someone tells me I’m a lot, I smile. They have no idea the depths of my love nor my faith. It is a lot. They also would be scared if they knew the depths I’m willing to go to battle the darkness.
And I win.
