Courtsr has been told before that he needs to do research before posting stuff like this. If I remember correctly he also tried posting something about demons in Spirit Seers. Most of us were amused too.
Ok, I've read what everyone else has said but Im more concerned with this poor kid.
Ameena, does your friend know for sure that her son is possessed? Because I know it is very dangerous in some parts of the world for a kid to be seen as having such a condition.Kids do bad things for many different reasons and just because you don't know the reason dosent automatically mean he's haunted.
be very careful because in some cultures a kid branded as being possessed can be hurt, even with violence by the community in which that kid is from and even carry a stigma for the rest of their lives.
If however you do feel he is possessed, let your friend give him a spiritual bath - put eggshell powder and rue oil or herb in the bath water, smudge him with sage too if possible and then ask the spirit ( whatever it is, note I didn't assume demon) to leave. If your friend and her son believe in a particular religion (Im not a fan of those, but whatever works for you), then pray in that particular way along with him. Goodluck and Please don't allow the boy to be labeled as haunted, as thats a dangerous title to put on a child in some communities
I would just like to post a quick apology to Wudang, after asking I found out that salt is added to holy water on the Feast of the Epiphany however not normally when else it is blessed, apparently thats because otherwise everything gets coated too thickly in salt deposits and it takes a lot of effort to clean.
From what ive come to learn from my studies and from those whom i know that are being coming biblical scholars and some priest of various religions. Only the most experienced should perform an exorcism. You have to know what your dealing with. Its strength and what it wants. Which can only be gained by addressing the trespassing spirit and unless you ready to deal with it at that moment will make things worse. Id reccomend going to a priest or high priest of a religion such as santeria or voodoo ect. Because they will work with the boy immediately. The Catholic church is hard to convince of possession and the process of getting an exorcism done takes alot of time. An exorcism also does not guarantee success sometimes it can just make the spirit mad and everything gets worse.
I have to agree with Hecate1 on this. Demon Possesion is something that doesn't happen too easily or just for no reason. The problem is Hollywood plays and adds their "magick" to the ways of the witch. For example I had a friend who did have a ghost in the house, a childs ghost. There was a piesce of paper that supposedly had three 6's written across it. She brought it to me and first thing looking at it was they weren't 6's, but 9's. On top of that they didn't represent anything evil as they thought, but was the ghost childs birthdate. The thought they had Damien in their house. People tend to let their imaginations run away with them and as Hecate1 said this could cause more problems than good. In the ten some years I have been practicing the craft I came across only one minor demon that was called up by my roomate and went away just as fast. I mostly only have to deal with spirits and those are usually dealt with easily enough.
Now with this child he's about twelve or so. Hormones my friends hormones. I had times when my parents said I was possesesed also...lol. The key word in this problem is that she thinks, but is not positive that it is a demon. We also need to think about what demons are. Sometimes a demonic possesion is not a physical demon from the depths of hell, but a "demon" that causes them to act out due to a lot of negativity or anger. I like Hecates eggshell and rue bath with prayers. I would also burn Dragon Blood in the house with the windows open while burning a white candle to send negativity on it's way. Try to have the whole family in the house if they are good with this and while the incence is burning say Psalms 59, 96, and 97. Then I would pound some red bricks into dust and pour this at the doors leading into your house to prevent anything negative that will seek to harm you in the future for entering. Good luck and brightest blessings.
Demon posession is very very very rare. I mean you gotta better chance of winning the lottery 5 times in a row then you do getting posessed. So the kid if its just bad behavior and talking back is more then likely acting out becuase hes probably starting puberty. But again. If you arent experienced with this and with demons. Dont perform the exorcism yourself youll aggrivate things horrorably
Just wanted to add to the spiritual bath suggestion...don't let the child soak in it for to long and use a small amount of rue. Some people are sensitive to it and a prolonged bath with any herbs needs to be monitored to see if any adverse reactions happen.
