Notes from an Exorcist
DISCERNING PHENOMENA DURING PRAYER
“When one of your five senses perceives an unusual phenomenon during prayer without your soul feeling anything, pay no attention to it; God is beyond the five senses. But if joy or hope come to your soul when you smell a fragrance, see a vision, hear something, or have any other sensation, neither accept it nor reject it, but go tell it to your spiritual father immediately. “If the triad of faith, hope, and love before you begin praying is—in a manner of speaking—ten degrees, and afterwards your faith, hope, and love have increased to one hundred degrees, then this transformation is from God. The evil one is incapable of inspiring you with faith or hope or love, since he lacks all three of these.
“If these three (faith, hope, and love) have increased after your prayer, know that your prayer has been accepted. If these three have remained the same, know that you have prayed in a worldly manner. If these three have decreased, you have prayed in a deluded manner. And if after your prayer you feel some kind of carnality, even if only slightly, you have prayed wrongly.”
St Joseph the Hesychast

Why is salt good for exorcism and banishing and all that jazz?
Well you see, way back in the day people knew jack-all about germs and microbes and for all they knew it was evil spirits that got into their food and made it go a-spoil.
They Noticed and Observed that when you soaked food in a Lot of Salt, food stayed good longer. So that meant that the salt was keeping the bad spirits out.
Now, tossing around salt and making salt circles makes for dramatic rituals, sure. But I think we all know that some entities are just powerful bastards and need some extra oomph to get them out of the damn house.
You know what is more potent than salt at killing bacteria and germs?
Bleach.
You know what’s really good for just killing all kinds of stuff very dead?
Medical autoclaves.
Now I understand that not all of you have access to autoclaves, but I understand that a good pressure cooker can also do for sterilization. So therefore, I propose that if you have yourself a haunted doll or something that isn’t reponding to the usual methods, a wash with chlorine might be in order; and if that doesn’t to the job, a visit to the Insta-Pot might teach the bastard who’s boss around here.
(Of course there might not be much of a doll left but it wasn’t like you needed to keep it around, anyway.)

Exorcising demons by saying "I CONDEMN YOU BACK TO HELL" is so funny to me like imagine kicking someone out of your house and going "I CONDEMN YOU BACK TO TORONTO" or "GO BACK TO CALIFORNIA FROM WHENCE YOU CAME"

faith brain rot is still in full effect.
the animation of John looking up at the unspeakable with these eyes is one of my favorite visually in the game.

I had an encounter with a Karen in a parking lot, so I called a priest to exorcise her. The priest, who turned out to be her husband, turned around and started lecturing me on how to be a lady, so I started chasing him with a torque wrench.

IAYAS v.1.2 update!
I've re-released I Adjure You Ancient Serpent! It's the first RPG made with @titanomachyrpg's Caltrop Core, and for its second birthday, I went and redid its layout, made some rule changes, and added a bunch of pictures.
There's a bunch of community copies available for those interested!

Hi angel on Earth. I tried to commit suicide on Friday. As I went to complete it I was distracted by the Saint Benedict medal that was on my desk. I never knew what it meant and for some reason I had to know in the moment so I went on a deep dive googling it and eventually fell asleep before I got around to committing the act. I’d like to think that was divine intervention of some sort. It’s Sunday now. I still want to do it but now it’s in passing waves. Can I receive a prayer? I know that I have the strength to keep going but I am so tired and sad and hopeless and lonely and don’t really want to anymore. I’ve been holding on for so long but it only gets worse. Idk what lesson I’m supposed to be learning from all the trials and tribulations. Thank you for your work. Gods love flows through you and unite many. Have a blessed day
Visit these links tonight!!
——
I don’t have the entire medal memorized because it’s rich in prayer but my favorite from it on the back, it’s literally an exorcism prayer. Look at the medal:
C. S. S. M. L. (Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux):
“The Holy Cross be my light.”
N. D. S. M. D. (Non Draco Sit Mihi Dux):
“May the dragon never be my guide!”
The Latin Exorcism Prayers:
Saint Benedict said the following words after monks tried killing him. Once he realized they poisoned his drink, he said this:
V. R. S. (Vade Retro Satan):
“Get away, Satan.”
N. S. M. V. (Nunquam Suade Mihi Vana):
“Never tempt me with your vanities!”
S. M. Q. L. (Sunt Mala Quae Libas):
“What you offer me is evil.”
I. V. B. (Ipse Venena Bibas):
“Drink the poison yourself!”
——-
I’ll keep you in my prayers.
