Demons? HELP!!!!

[SilverStarFire]

Greetings,

Let me intro myself. My name is Silver and I was refered by a friend. I live in the big college town of Lawrence, Ks and have 3 sons. That brings me to why I am here!

I am having a serious problem going on here on the home front with one of my sons.

He is just 18 months old and woke me up this morning at 3:00 saying the following: "DEMON, DEMON, DEMON" then laughed four times in a laugh that was spine chilling. The problem is that this child does not even talk yet except for Mama, Dada and Nama.

On top of that he has been waking up screaming at the top of his lungs for the past month.

Now further into this whole mess. My middle son 4 y/o when he was little we would put in down for his afternoon nap (same room & Crib) when we would go to get him up his crib would be full of toys, and sometimes it would sound like he was talking to somebody.

Now being rasied Pagan and a fifth generation at that I do have a little knowledge of spirits but this is just blown my mind away.

My Mother told me to try and get what ever it is to tell me what it wants or why it is here before I go Banishing it and maybe stiring up something I am not able to deal with.

PLEASE I am asking for some help here maybe some Banishing spells or anything! I am scared to put my sons back in that room. We live in my Mother's house and I cannot move them out of there She is willing to work with me on this but I would really like to do it on my own.

Blessings,
Silver

Hello and welcome! :wave:

Actually your problem may be more simple than you think! There's something called "night terrors" that happens in young children. They may bolt upright or even get out of bed in the middle of the night, screaming in terror, but not being awake. Sometimes their eyes will roll back in their head and maybe be open as if awake. They're in the fourth stage of sleep at this time, which is the soundest sleep. If you wake them, they usually report not remembering that they were dreaming at all. The experience is far more traumatic for the parents than the child because the child doesn't remember it happening. This is quite a common phenomenon and children grow out of it. In the meantime, don't panic if it happens again (as it's quite possible), just make sure the child is all right and goes back to sleep peacefully.

As for your 4 year old son talking to someone, it may just be something children do. I remember having long, long conversations with myself or with absolutely no one just to keep myself company. And I know other children do this, too. Children are fascinated with the sound of their own voice (as well as with their parents').

I suggest you don't panic and just understand that night terrors do happen.

Have to agree wholeheartedly with Psyche Ague. If you like, when the kids aren't in the room thoroughly clean it and everything in it with the intent to remove nasty energy as well as dirt. Scrub, dust, vaccuum, replace bed linens, even wipe the crib/bed down. Then find a white candle and nice incense like sage or nag champa or sandalwood, something cleansing, and take it into the room. Light the candle and imagine the flame's light filling the room with cleansing, positive energy. Imagine the incense smoke filling up the room, flowing into corners and every nook and cranny, and take it all about while you do this, and how it fills the room with positive blessing energy.

You might also sprinkle saltwater around (salt and water are thought to be very cleansing), and get some lavendar sleepy mist type stuff and put a little in the room to help your children sleep. With the older one you might even give them a dream pillow that you can get in metaphysical/magical shops, or just make him a special pillow with lavendar or some other calming herb in it (there are people here at MW who will chime in I think, they have a better idea of what herbs are good). You could make one for the youngest one too though you might try suspending it from the end of the crib on the outside rather then letting baby sleep with it.

See sometimes negative energy from nightmares, arguments, and upset little children can stay like dust bunnies in nooks and crannies, and it can make everyone even more cranky and whiny. So it's a good idea to cleanse out all that once in awhile, and often it can make a hugely remarkable difference.
