Unseen Warfare

THE EXORCIST, THE ROSARY & THE DEVIL

(3-min read)

It happened last October 7th in Milan, Italy. Don Ambrogio Villa, exorcist priest of the diocese of Milan, forced the devil, Belzebul, during the exorcism to confess to the spiritual secrets of the Holy Rosary.

Don Ambrogio - O Virgin, today is your feast, that of the Holy Rosary. I would like this "Belzebul" to give us a catechesis on the Holy Rosary. So I ask you, Madonna, we have already heard some catechesis, but today is a special feast. I ask you that for a few minutes, or for many minutes, he be forced by you to speak about the Holy Rosary. Therefore, with Mary's permission and by order of Heaven, I command you to speak to us about the Holy Rosary and its power against you. In the name of God, I command you to speak. Speak well, in clear Italian, and tell us many things and beautiful things. Speak. In correct Italian.

Belzebul - That crown (of the rosary) destroys me.

Don Ambrogio - Speak better, in correct Italian. You are capable. Go ahead.

Belzebul - Every Hail Mary blows my mind.

Don Ambrogio - Speak, without me having to tell you. Our Lady wants you to tell us the power of the holy rosary against you.

Belzebul - It is a simple prayer that not everyone does. But the one who makes it is united to the life of Christ and Mary. And it blows my mind to hear that refrain. I can't stand it. I also get annoyed when people hold it in their hands, even when they're not praying it. I can't stand it. But she loves this prayer.

Don Ambrogio – Continue.

Belzebul - And he who prays it in the family has a special protection from her. I can't go into that house. I have not been given permission. Because the power of the Holy Rosary in the family crushes me.

Don Ambrogio - Go on.

Belzebul - And in those families, if there is only one person who prays it, he can save the others in the family.

Don Ambrogio - Oh Mary, I thank you for forcing this demon Belzebul to do this publicity, this catechesis on the Rosary. O Mary, I would like to share it with many people, with your permission. Force him to speak. Go on.

Belzebul - Her favorite mysteries are those of the Passion of Christ. For there is all the salvation of mankind.

Don Ambrogio - And the glorious ones are not?

Belzebul – Also

Don Ambrogio - Continue.

Belzebul - But to whomever recites the Rosary, I come to disturb him.

Don Ambrogio - How?

Belzebul - With thoughts. Distractions.

Don Ambrogio - But Our Lady thanks him anyway, right?

Belzebul - Yes.

Don Ambrogio - Go ahead.

Belzebul - You should pray with the children. Teach them this prayer before I come to bother them, because afterwards I steal their purity, that is, mothers should pray it for the children because I want to destroy the family and the young people.

Don Ambrogio - O Virgin, we thank you because you have given us the Rosary that you continue to recommend every time you appear. But we also thank you for these words of 'Belzebul' that in this exorcism I, your priest, am carrying out with the help and participation of six collaborators who pray and are at my side. Thank you, O Mary, if you still want to force Beelzebub to tell us something, I ask you to force him to continue.

Belzebul - To whomever prays the rosary, she gives many thanks. Really many, many. And I can't stand it. Even the novenas are blowing my mind. I can't stand them. Above all, the novena to the Virgin Undoer of Knots.

Don Ambrogio - We like litanies a lot. I used to notice that you suffered from them. What do you say about litanies?

Belzebul - They crush me, they annoy me!

Don Ambrogio - Why?

Belzebul: Because it is a continuous praise, praise, praise.

Don Ambrogio - But she deserves it.

Belzebul: For you!

Don Ambrogio - But is she really your Queen, even if you don't recognize her? or not?

Belzebul – Yes

Don Ambrogio - And after the litanies, what else can you tell us? Because not everyone says it when they finish the Rosary.

Belzebul - I know, I know. Those who don't pray them are mistaken.

Don Ambrogio: Oh, how many beautiful things, Virgin, that you give us unexpectedly. Also through this devil whose name -at least he said the name- is Belzebul. We praise you, O Mary. Does she tell you to tell us something yet, or are you finished? Answer!

Belzebul: I am finished.

The Virgin Mary Untier of Knots.

You either like the concept of mother Mary or you don’t. Either way is perfectly fine. As a witch born from a catholic family, Mary was a fact of life. Going to church? Before you even sit down, light a candle at Mary’s shrine. Leaving the church? Dip your finger in the holy water near Mary- not the one at the door, no -and cross yourself. Going to the graveyard? Again, light a candle at Mary’s shrine. Or see of you can clean it before you go to the grave you wanted to visit. Praying before dinner, yes, but not to Jesus. No, it was a hail Mary that was recited by grandma, or mom, and that was it. Burned your finger during cooking (because your weren’t paying attention? Or because you were trying to steal something off the cooker?) just put some holy water on it from Lourdes. And why yes, the bottle, was shaped as Mary.

People use the Lords name in vain. But not Mary’s. No, not Mary. Because, so told the old neighbour of my grandparents, that was like swearing while talking to your own mother. And we all were raised better than that. Mother Mary has many qualities and aspects that are integrated into daily life here.

Mother Mary is the one people turn to for solace, warmth and support in every aspect of human life. She is the mother that wipes your tears when she brought you tea, supports you, but doesn’t coddle! Mary, does not coddle. She can be kind- she is kind -but she is very much helping you, help yourself. The Virgin Mary, Untier of Knots is a very specific aspect of Mary that one can call on, in time of need. Are you in trouble with school, constantly fighting with friends and family, and other ‘knots’ in life? Well. Mother Mary can help. And you don’t even have to be a Catholic.

“To my surprise, I have become friendly with Mary. It started the night she stood by me through the storm, knowing full well I'm not a Catholic . Yet, somehow, she seems more like Mary, my favourite aunt, than Santa Maria. Aunt Mary is everywhere here, her calm presence assuring us that all things will go on as they have before.”

- Under the Tuscan sun. F Mayes & A Wells, 2003.

Let go of expectations, and lay bare your fear, pain or regret over the situation.

Light a candle, or don’t, But a prayer. A sincere prayer for untying the knots that hold you back, always reaches Mary. (See image below) If you’re not comfortable with connecting with the Christian god, than just solely keep the prayer about Mary. In my experience, Mary works in subtle ways. You are the one who made the knot, and she’ll use you as her main tool to untie them. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mary, Untier of Knots Novena Daily Prayers.

Keep me, guide me, protect me, o safe refuge!Mary, Untier of Knots, pray for me. Amen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Light your candle- I would suggest a white candle, tea-lights work just fine -and start the novena. Or, you could take the novena, and make your own prayer, to Mary, to help you with a certain knot. Keep it simple, pure and most of all, honest. Mary knows anyway. Before you start with ANY novena, it is a good idea to take some time for prayer/meditation beforehand. You want focus. Anyway, that was me for now. Hope you are having a good day.

Power of the Holy Rosary

EXORCISM & THE ROSARY

(1 min read)

Last 7 October 2019 in Italy. Don Ambrogio Villa, exorcist priest of the diocese of Milan, forced the devil "Beelzebub" to confess during an exorcism to the divine powers of the Rosary:

1 “She loves this prayer.”

2 “That crown (rosary) destroys me.”

3 “Every Hail Mary blows my mind. I also get annoyed when people hold it in their hands, even when they're not praying it. I can't stand it.”

4 “It is a simple prayer that not everyone does. But the one who makes it is united to the life of Christ and Mary.”

5 “And he who prays it in the family has a special protection from her. I can't go into that house. I have not been given permission.”

6 “The power of the Holy Rosary in the family crushes me.”

7 “And in those families, if there is only one person who prays it, he can save the others in the family.”

8 “For there (in the mysteries) is all the salvation of mankind.”

9 “- But to whomever recites the rosary, I come to disturb him with distractions. But Our Lady thanks him anyway.”

10 “Mothers should pray it for their children because I want to destroy the family and the young people; afterwards I (will) steal their purity.”

11 “To whomever prays the rosary, she gives many thanks. Really many, many. And I can't stand it.”

12 “Even the novenas are blowing my mind. I can't stand them. Above all, the novena to the Virgin, Undoer of Knots.”

13 “They (litanies) crush me, they annoy me. Because it is a continuous praise, praise, praise. Those who don't pray them (after saying the Rosary) are mistaken.”

And so the knot of Eve’s disobedience was untied by Mary’s obedience. What Eve bound through her unbelief, Mary loosed by her faith.

Irenaeus of Lyons, Adversus haereses 3:22, quoted in Mary and the Fathers of the Church: The Blessed Virgin Mary in Patristic Thought by Luigi Gambero (Ingatius, 1999), p. 58.

Rebooting My Practice

This is going to be pretty rambly, but I always get a lot out of these posts when other people make them so I wanted to make one too.

I hit a point earlier this year, as I started to really see what all astrology could be, when I knew I was going to need to overhaul pretty much my entire practice. For the last decade, I've focused on divination; on doing activities that sharpen my intuition, following up and checking predictions, tracking cards and results to better understand the connection, etc. I did this primarily in the service of my main deity, the Morrigan.

I still work with her, but I'm in a lurch as to how to continue my work with her. I have yet to quite figure out how to balance her general distaste for shrines (with me at least) and deepening my relationship with her in the absence of local folks to read for as I've relied on for years (thanks COVID). I've been praying the Catholic Rosary lately as a way to deepen my relationship with the Virgin Mary and the Saint I'm petitioning lately and I feel her kind of peering in when I do that so I might have to design one for her. I have a feeling whatever I come up with will likely be in a free zine rather than a blog post at some point.

But where that left me was in this weird abyss, where the only really solid things in my practice were like 3 deities (The Morrigan, Hermes, Yinepu/Anubis) I worked with regularly and tarot cards. I think for plenty of people that's fine but I wanted something deeper and more effective. It was around the time that I was rethinking everything that I stumbled on to this post about a magical routine that absolutely enthralled me. It took me another month and ultimately moving house altogether to even begin to piece something together that would set me on the road to something like this. I knew I was not ready but I finally had a picture in my mind something to work towards. Like rehabilitating after an injury, sometimes you've got to do half as much as you think you can before you really take off.

So I wanted to take some time and talk about the way my practice is changing and what the new pillars are slowly emerging to be.

Planetary Petitions

While I don't have the Orphic Hymns for each of the 7 classical planets memorized yet as per the post, I started by doing planetary prayers more days than I do not do them. Thanks to my truly godawful downstairs neighbor at the new place, who's floor shaking door slams throughout the whole night have netted me an average of 3 hours a night, I'm usually up for the first planetary hour of a given day. Hey maybe it's a sign, a big universal push to show the fuck up.

I'm also incredibly lucky I loaded up on some planetary incenses right before COVID when a local store had a huge sale. It's proved well worth it as above all I try to get the planetary incense right, though I did have to default to a Frankincense one when we were first moving in. I slowly feel like I'm beginning to understand the planetary spirits better but only slightly. I completely see why memorizing the prayer is recommended and I do feel that's standing in the way of me being closer with them.

I have not noticed a huge difference when I petition them truthfully. I get the vibe that it takes time to build up that relationship. Though I'm open to input here - for those who do planetary petitions, what made them click for you?

Saint Veneration + Christian Magic

One thing I put off for many years, though I knew it was coming, was working with more Saints. I knew it'd likely involve having to dip back into Christianity to make it work and I was completely right.

As my partner began revisiting her Catholic roots earlier this year, it got me curious about things like the Rosary, the Chaplet, and Novenas. I was raised charismatic fundamentalist Christian as a child and such things were explicitly forbidden. I remember getting a long talking to when I'd taken to reading about Sainte Jeanne d'Arc. So they aren't loaded for me the way they are for others, but they’re situated in this fundamentally familiar context that makes them feel like meeting a cool branch of the family you didn't realize existed.

I'm finishing a Novena to a Saint I've been praying to in the next few weeks. I am admittedly not as close with her as I'd like to be. I'm trying to figure out how to move forward with her as I'd really like to have her in my life. I will probably reach back out to Sainte Jeanne d'Arc as she's always felt familiar and been good to me. I also keep her prayer card and medallion in my wallet and have for many years so maybe there's more to build from there. It is my goal to have about 3 saints/Christian figures I can call on when I need help. I'm thinking of approaching Mary Undoer of Knots next but I'm worried it'll follow the same path as this current saint.

My partner and I bought Rosaries back in May and I absolutely love it. I've been saying at least a 5 decade rosary for most days but I'm regularly getting in a 15 decade rosary. I really love it and am totally convinced of the beauty and effectiveness of the system. I've come to understand Christianity in a totally different light through praying it regularly.

So that is on going and evolving and I'd love to hear from people who've cultivated close relationships with a Saint or Angel.

Ancestors

One thing that working with Christianity again has made easier is praying to ancestors. I've often felt a bit at odds with my own ancestors as they were not the most supportive of trans and queer people (and I am both of those) but in coming back to Christianity has given me and my ancestors a common language almost. As long as my disagreement with them over my attraction and gender identity is rooted in the Bible, it's been easier to work with them.

It's very early days with ancestor work. I'm slowly working my way through Ancestral Healing by Daniel Foor. But I'm feeling very heartened by it. I saw a post on twitter somewhere, if I can find it again I'll link it, where someone said that the way they started working with their ancestors was just thanking them everyday. And thanking my ancestors is complicated for me, my family like most have their own issues that also go passed on, but thanking them for what I am glad they gave me has been really beneficial.

My partner requested some divination from me when some of her medical issues were starting to get worse and part of the reading involved a strong push for her to investigate her father's side of the family. She got really into genealogy in the process and she's been teaching me a lot. Through that I actually learned my great grandfather's name for the first time - yes that's how out of touch I am with my own family history. But I was thankful to find out.

Through her own research, my partner found out that that branch of her family likely isn't German but actually German speaking Hungarians which was a revelation. She's in the process of confirming but it got us talking about foods and identity and language and how to honor our ancestors more regularly. We're going to try making a nice dinner on Full Moons with dishes that are tied to branches of our family as a way to trying to cultivate a closer relationship with them. I'll definitely update on that as it evolves.

Conclusion + Some Thoughts on Disability

I'm definitely still in the early days of all of this. It's not become quite the foundation I hope it will be yet. I still need to figure out how to continue and deepen my deity relationships. I still need to attempt some different types of spellwork I've been meaning to. And while I didn't talk about it much here, astrology has been playing a huge role in my practice but mostly in a passive way. More of that divination process I talked about in the beginning where I make predictions based on the charts I'm seeing and then double check my work.

I’ve been doing all this while in the thick of a bad flare. Moving plus lack of sleep as meant my disability has been weighing so much harder on me lately. Normally when I’m feeling well enough, I kind of roll my eyes at a lot of the “spoonie witchcraft” posts I see, but for some reason with this flare they just started making me angry and I’m still trying to parse why. I think I just feel like so many are rooted in this performative idea of “feeling” witchy rather than actually helping me with my disability. They aren’t usually focused on practices that either actually treat the pain I’m in or bring my spirit real comfort.

I’m really hoping to put together a post or possibly a zine that does provide what I always wanted those posts to be. Honestly these pillars here have proven accessible even as I’ve been in some of the worst pain I’ve been in in years. So for any fellow disabled folks who just aren’t getting much out of those posts, I really recommend starting with these. Recite the Orphic Hymn for the day in the corresponding hour. Pray the Rosary or an adapted set of prayers for Pagan prayer beads. Don’t have much money for those? Look up how to make knotted rosaries and adapt the method. Pray to your ancestors and give them some water and a bit to eat. These are doable for a lot of folks even when they’re in bad shape, especially if you take your time with it. Might not make you “feel witchy” but they do some fucking work, that’s for sure. But idk, those are just my thoughts on it.

So it hasn't all fallen into place yet but I wanted to share what developing a practice looks like in medias res. It's messy, somethings work better than others, but all and all I'm just glad to finally be making meaningful progress again.
