Comment: Here's the company behind the book, apparently Canadian. The gender-bender agenda literally wishes that demons 'step in' and take over humanity...
A group of international exorcists has raised the alarm about a new children's book teaching kids how to interact with and summon demons, saying the publication is not only a spiritual threat, but is a disguised attempt to lure young people into satanism.
"You don't mess around with demons. Whoever invites a child to summon a demon is like a person who puts a grenade in their hands to play with. Sooner or later the child will pull the pin and the bomb will explode in their hands," the International Association of Exorcists said in a statement last week.
"Whoever invites a child to summon a demon is telling them that it's possible to get help from a criminal to get something. Whoever invites a child to summon a demon is causing them to lose their identity and to be morally, psychologically and spiritually destroyed," they said, adding that those who invite children to summon demons are already "an 'ally' of the demons."
The statement, released Dec. 11 and signed by Father Francesco Bamonte, president of the association, was in reference to a new children's book titled, A Children's Book of Demons. Published in May, the book is directed to children aged 5-10 and was penned by Aaron Leighton, an award-winning illustrator and known fan of occult practices.
A description of the book speaks directly to children, saying:
"Don't want to take out the trash tonight? Maybe you're swimming in homework? Perhaps that big bully is being a real drag? Well grab your coloured pencils and sigil drawing skills and dial up some demons! This paranormal parody is filled to the brim with funny spirits more silly than scary!""Summoning demons has never been so fun!" it says.
Several websites carrying the book have described it as a "playful guide" that allows readers, most of whom will presumably be children, to conjure "gentle demons" by drawing their "sigil," or magical symbol, after they wake up in the mornings.
Comment: In the metaphysical world this is tantamount to making friends with a "gentle psychopath".
Decked with colorful images of some 20 different demons, the book urges children to summon these dark creatures in order to do everything from making themselves sick in order to get out of school and eat ice cream all day, to hypnotizing others and giving themselves "genius-level" smartness.
Comment: More encouragement towards feeding the "criminal mind" in children.
After the description of each demon, some of which include disclaimers warning kids that allowing a specific demon into their head can be a bit "freaky," children are instructed to draw the demon's symbol in a specific color after they wake up in order to summon it.
Coloring pages are also provided so kids can color in the demons they have been taught to summon. The concept of summoning is simplified so as to be understood by young children, with the symbols described as a "telephone number" through which they can contact the demons.
When doing an internet search, the book falls under the genres of "humor," "fantasy fiction" and "children's literature."
In their statement, the exorcists said the book is part of a wider modern attempt to propose satanism "as a normal alternative" to other forms of worship or philosophies of life.
"It goes so far as to affirm that if devil worship is limited to the simple celebration of the devil and those who practice it do not commit crimes, there is nothing wrong," they said, explaining that this points to a clear and complete lack of discernment between good and evil.
Satanism, they said, not only allows the person to be overcome by the demons they summon, but sooner or later it leads those who practice it into falling victim to a dark internal transformation which leads them to develop "a behavior according to principles that are destructive and harmful to human dignity."
They condemned the book as part of a "nefarious project" initiated in the 1970s of normalizing contact with demons and seeing the practice of satanism as something positive, cautioning that the symbols provided are similar to those often found in "grimoires," or textbooks for magic which offer instructions on how to create objects such as talismans and amulets, how to perform spells and invoke spirits.
"Whoever invites a child to invoke demons is inviting them and preparing them to be unhappy," they said, "because they do not present them for what they really are: good angels who voluntarily become evil, enemies of God and of humanity, beings full of hatred toward every man, intent on suggesting every evil and every perversity, with the sole purpose of pitting ourselves against one another and in the end definitively separating us from God and leading us into eternal perdition, an endless suffering."
The book, they said, is one of many new forms of occultism disguised as a game in order to lure in young people by advertising it as something positive, but which ultimately leads to devil worship.
Exorcists for years have spoken out against several common vehicles they believe are used to open the door to demonic possession, such as an increasing devotion to "Santa Muerte," meaning "Holy Death" or "Saint Death," in many parts of Latin America.
Documentaries and TV shows such as the hit series "Sabrina" on Netflix have also been condemned by exorcists as contributing to the normalization of satanism and occultism, especially amongst the young.
Shamanism, a practice in which a person strives to attain altered states of consciousness in order to interact with what they believe to be a spirit world, has also increased among young people, as well as games such as Ouija boards and the "Charlie Charlie challenge," in which players cross two pencils on a grid with sectors marking 'yes' or 'no' and ask a supernatural reality, "Charlie," to answer the questions they ask.
In their statement, the exorcists condemned the "dark practice" of these games and devotions, as well as Leighton's book, saying they "totally [subvert] the discernment between what is good and what is bad."
"Here, perhaps, more than elsewhere the words of the Lord are valid," they said, and quoting from Chapter 18 of Matthew's Gospel, added that "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."

It's important to know that monsters exist, but it's equally important to not engage in wishful thinking. That stupid book is pure wishful thinking.
Kids interested in this stuff should read or listen to material where people find themselves in combat with ethereal malign intelligences. "Scared straight" would be putting it very mildly. Hardened adults have trouble sleeping after a little dose of unfiltered truth.
The naive idiots who promote this kind of book need a good, solid encounter. They'll change their tune fast.

ginkhobaEven if it's pure fantasy, these desires to short-cut reality will inevitably involve crime.my answer 2fold, a: when u call physical existenz real, u missed a lot. b, i dont see anywhere the necessity for crime there, by whose judgement or laws? sounds like painting black anything u dislike, which doesnt help with the dialog about how to(or not).
nevertheless, i never expected someone 2 agree with me, have a nice life, friends, at least we are discussing the matter, i call that a start
All that is required for evil to flourish is reactive opposition.
That is how it propagates and feeds.
When Jesus said 'resist ye not evil' - he was warning against identity theft - for identity set in the frame of what it is 'against' is no longer aligned whole in truth but seeking worth, rightness and validation from the denial of evils that are then made real - rather than revealed in truth as deceits over hidden agenda that is then brought into the light of a true awareness.
'Good' people are those who recognise and extend goodness to others - regardless of their social status or collective judgement.
On being called 'good', Jesus invoked protection from deceit - saying "get thee behind me!" - for he held none but God as Good - and all else being a world seen as a distortion - through a glass darkly.
The modern war is made by mind capture rather than direct assault upon the body, in deceits by which to seem caring, protective, empowering relative to targeted fears, shames, guilt, and terrors - so as to hide them under a sense of 'good' set against evil.
The basis of the deceit is to induce entrapment by our own reaction of emotional investment in the story being framed and pushed - as if there is no time for thought or question, and no point as its already 'too late!' excepting act now - act now - act now.
Once we take the bait by reaction we are invested in the story and think in its terms.
I urge you consider - don't just 'DO something' - STAND THERE! - that is - abide in your own being as the capacity to discern the truth of what you are and how to be in relation to anything you meet. In the MOVEMENT of being that is recognisably NOT coercive upon you, is the freedom to align in who you are and respond or not - as you are truly moved in witness.This may LOOK like resisting evil because it doesn't crumple to compliance or reactivity - but is essentially a witnessing to an integrity of being that is for all - but our first responsibility is to accept truth for ourselves - or else we have no basis to meet or share anything true - but only seek and mimic FORMS of association by which to seem good or valid or worthy - but all of which attest the fear and belief that we are not.
The original sense of your quote is that if everyone turns a blind eye - the evil grows unchecked.
However, it is also worth noting that Hitler and Nazism was supported by vast sums of international finance and so what ordinarily could be laughed away acquired a basis for power and persistence that was not obvious to those of the day. Any more than the co-opting and subversion of environmentalism is now. Without the backing of hidden wealth and power, the weaponising of the climate would never have gained traction from the top down - as a global regulatory and financial structure - and as a bottom up mind capture of the hates, hopes and fears of the emotionally reactive or 'unwary'.
Hatred and evil are easy to spot; and the result of actions is largely contingent on the interpreting party. Choose to do nothing, choose to do something, or choose to ‘stand there’. The first does nothing to abate the evil; and doing nothing allows it to grow unfettered. The second identifies you as the opposite and gives you a target - a fight for another day? “All war is by deception” - and the third puts you directly in the firing line. Like what happened to JC... which is very honorable, but largely doesn’t change the outcome to the extent in which ends the evil/hatred. (Martyrdom) If it did (change the outcome) we probably wouldn’t be in the position we find ourselves in today. (I’m the case of JC) An eye for an eye makes the whole word blind. Exposing evil is what builds people to our cause. Especially in the instance of JC...
So, we shouldn’t react / oppose evil when we see it?
I would argue that good people are always on the back foot; we try to act with good intent, speak truthfully and honesty, conduct ourselves with honour, integrity and morality, and above all we take care of each other. Evil tends to take care of only its self.
Hitler did what he did because he was acting in the good faith of his people. Weimar Republic, 30s depression, sanctions following WW1 which crippled the country. And within a (relatively) short period of time, his country changed the course of the world. Was it for good? No, but he thought so; was the outcome for good? No, because we now have forces exerting (negative) influence over global agenda following the end of WW2. (Perpetual war / MIC). Not saying that we should admire his goals; but we should recognise what his intention was, and recognise what he achieved. (How has Alexander the Great been portrayed over since his death? Conquerer of the known world).
You may think it an odd comparison; but in the last avengers Movie (I grew up on the comics mind you...) thanos is trying to exterminate half of all life; is this good or bad? Good for those that survive - Over population will lead to the end of us all - bad for those that he ends in order to “save” everyone else.
Doing nothing, or rather, just standing there isn’t enough anymore.
We must act.
Not religious btw; but recognise how powerful hope and faith are to ones well being (if you’re that way inclined).
Thanks again for your response
0bviously not all catholic priests are paedophiles and Satanists any more than all Jews are Zionist banksters.
Whenever we give power to hate and fear in the wish to GET RID of it onto others - we effectively summon a demonic or hateful intent and give it welcome as some sense of moral superiority imagined and effected in wishful intent.

felt compelled to follow up is original post by stating “no where did I say I was ok with this book.” I think what illicited people’s reaction to the post was the minimization, not-to-mention the “attack” the messenger thrust.
This book like the LGBTQ Trans formation agenda being taught to very young children (under the guise of anti bullying & tolerance by the tolerant left) has no place in children’s curriculum.
Interestingly, I was reading yesterday about Obama’s education czar holding in very high regard Harry Hay the founder of the first gay rights’ movement but also a proud member of NAMBLA & Stalinist. His education czar spoke of how inspirational Harry Hay was..
Concurrently at the same time in Canada their education czar was arrested for raping his own daughters and aspiring to post that sh*t online. Children do not need to learn aboutsex until after puberty, organically as we all did. The state should be imposing its’ new value system on anyone’s family.
I have nothing against gay men or women. I do have grave concerns about corrupting the minds of children. JC spoke wisely about protecting the most innocent among us. Children are off limits in my book & introducing children to demons under the guise of “playfulness” is about as wicked an invocation as I could imagine being conjured.
Death is the wages of sin, so it's rather something we earn. In one sense I agree, it's also a gift, as it limits the amount of sin a person who refuses Jesus will be judged for. Would you agree that Jesus died for our sins, and rose again the third day?
There are many harmful concepts in Christian dogma (or any dogma, for that matter), that have been inherited from the Catholics, and the ideas of 'sin' and 'damnation' are two of the most onerous. We don't 'earn' death through sin. Death is a gift that we are given so we can experience the non-manifest part of life during which we live in one another, directly experience the spiritual world, assimilate the lessons of our previous life, and participate co-creatively in the preparation for our collective and individual future. We are all subject to law, and therefore there are compensatory experiences that we must undergo, but 'guilt' and 'sin' muddy the water. The harshly condemnatory and punishing attitudes of traditional Christian dogma derive from the desire of some human beings to have power over others. Is it possible to 'lose one's soul?' I think so, but that takes a sincere and long-term commitment to anti-progressive powers. Some people are traveling down that path, but for the most part, redemption is still possible.
The Christ participated in the death of Jesus. This was a sacrificial act in order to join His fate to that of the Earth, demonstrate that death was not a permanent state, and enable the spiritual ascendance of mankind. His promise to be with us 'to the end of the Earth' is definitely something to be celebrated and eternally thankful for, but even more than that, it imparts responsibility to each of us if we take that sacrificial act on as we should, as adults capable of spiritual growth, rather than as children. In that light, we can jettison the judgments of the Old Testament Jehovah Father-God. This was right for pre-Christian populations, but not helpful in the least for most people today.
