It’s heartening to see so many strange, new faces here today.

happy mother’s day <3
“Oh, hey, hey, hey. It’s alright. Charlie, you’re alright, now. You... are Paimon. One of the eight kings of Hell. We have looked to the northwest and called you in. We’ve collected your first female body and give you now this healthy male host. We reject the trinity and pray devoutly to you, Great Paimon. Give us your knowledge of all secret things, bring us honor, wealth, and good familiars. Bind all men to our will as we have bound ourselves for now and ever to yours. Hail, Paimon!”

“Female levitators are often maligned as ridiculous, dangerous characters, often by men. This is a very old trait, but was solidified and given shape by the influential Jesuit theologian Martin Delrio, who published ‘Magical Investigations’ in 1599 – 1600. His book popularized the idea that demon spirits could possess or inhabit a female human body. It also suggested how to identify and track them. For the witch-hunters and storytellers of early modern Europe, the levitating, flying witch was a figure of grotesque femininity.”

GET TO KNOW ME [1/10 horror movies] Well, now your sister is dead! And I know you miss her and I know it was an accident and I know you’re in pain and I wish I could take that away for you. I wish I could shield you from the knowledge that you did what you did, but your sister is dead! She’s gone forever! And what a waste, if it could’ve maybe brought us together, if you could’ve just said “I’m sorry” or faced up to what happened then we could do something with this but you can’t responsibility for anything!

uses the unknowns and symbolism of organized religion, including tales of the apocalypse, satan, the anti-christ, and cults, to scare viewers, and desecrates what is considered comforting and holy in order to shock them.
My mother was a very secretive and private woman. She had private rituals, private friends.
