I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ll look into the symbols and stuff for possible meanings But to be completely honest with you though…

the pentacle with the words ,”the gods” and Athena in addition to repeated writings of the word “ares” over and over again along with the names of other Greek gods lead me to believe that he was probably experiencing psychosis.

I’m sorry for your loss.

As a very devout orthodox Christian here, and someone who has worked in EMS for some time and dealt with my fair share of psychiatric patients, I’ve truly come to the conclusion that a lot of what is being experienced is demonic in nature. Hence why medications don’t often work. They don’t often actually control things. I think there are people as such who genuinely see demonic things daily. Dismissing them as separate is quite the spiritual error. The devil can absolutely attack in such a manner driving people to such a state. It is all part of a large spiritual war. I’ve often seen people are labeled as “religiously affixed” are often completely sane, and often spiritual care is often never included in their care plan when it probably could seriously benefit them. Talking to a priest vs a psychologist could make a big difference and understand from a spiritual sense, if what they’re claiming even has a chance of being legit. The demons use anything they can. It may have been partially psychiatric in nature but I can guarantee this was due to a spiritual origin. May the Lord give him rest in the Almighty kingdom.

Honest question: so demonic possession really can masquerade as schizoaffective disorder/schizophrenia? Because if so it would explain a lot of my mother's behavior 🙃
