im wondering what kind of items would be considered unholy and dangerous in terms of attracting evil spirits to our homes? i have heard there are some things we must remove but i dont know which they would be
surely- anything occult related, hexagrams and other nasty symbolism
my lady believes anything broken attracts bad energy

for instance i have a bottle of whiskey i got from my grandfathers house when he passed away- but its shaped as a skull. i know many satanists and atheists have a craze for skulls

I would not be concerned about anything that isn't directly tied to spiritism. I would toss out Ouija board, etc

Just because something means something wicked to someone else does not mean that it is. It is an inanimate object.
Like the skull- while I'm not a fan of skulls, it really just is a skull and god created us. See what I'm saying? Just because a satanist has turned it into an idol does not make it one for you.
YOU know how you treat inanimate objects, and God knows who you, are and that is what counts.

Superstition can go both ways. Don't be superstitious.

Everything related to magic, spiritualism, occultism, witchcraft, Santeria, demonism, Satanism, divination, astrology, witchcraft, etc., belongs to the kingdom of darkness. All of it should be "considered unholy and dangerous in terms of attracting evil spirits to our homes".

Acts 19:11 And God kept performing extraordinary powerful works through the hands of Paul, 12 so that even cloths and aprons that had touched his body were carried to the sick, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits came out.
13 But some of the Jews who traveled around casting out demons also tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had wicked spirits; they would say: “I solemnly charge you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
14 Now there were seven sons of a Jewish chief priest named Sceva doing this. 15 But in answer the wicked spirit said to them: “I know Jesus and I am acquainted with Paul; but who are you?” 16 At that the man with the wicked spirit leaped on them, overpowered them one after the other, and prevailed against them, so that they fled naked and wounded out of that house.
17 This became known to all, both the Jews and the Greeks who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus went on being magnified. 18 And many of those who had become believers would come and confess and report their practices openly. 19 Indeed, quite a number of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them up before everybody. And they calculated their value and found them worth 50,000 pieces of silver.

Zeth,
I saw that you mentioned anything occult related already so I didnt give you a speech.
Your wife fears anything broken, and I would say that is just being superstitious. Things break, it doesnt mean it's evil. agree?
And the skull whiskey decanter- if it makes you uncomfortable transfer the whiskey into something else. If you know that your grandfather was into the occult then I would toss it.
If you and your wife are believers you cannot be possessed by demons. But you can be harassed. Do not fear. Pray and draw closer to God each and every day if you dont already.
To Elie's post- Lets break that down-

Paul's hankie was a good thing of God,
not a demon.
The men who were lept on by a wicked spirit were not believers, but were false teachers.
The people confessed and burned their magical arts books. They no longer wanted to practice what was IN them.

Do you or your wife practice magical arts or anything like that? Somehow, I doubt it since you are senstive to skulls and broken things.
Peace be with you.

hm no, but she was into spiritualism and does some low level of yoga. she does pray a lot though. and, spiritualism one may say- well 80%+ of spirits are demons so thats a bit vague. i do believe women easily fall prey to evil influences, reference adam and eve and thats why im thinking twice about if there could be anything to attract evils in my life

what about patterns and the like? i dug into some youtube videos about clowns and "bob" which was apparently tied to some ancient demon and black/white zigzag patterns

There are many case where a person bought a antique with a spirit attached to it. It could happen to you without knowing that you brought it in. I saw that soldier who was in Iraq he went into a old building and encountered a spirit and when he returned to the US it followed him and he says it haunts him to this day.It can happen without trying.Any spirit still here does not want to move on or is evil and will be up to no good.That's why you don't mess with them.

Bro, are you a Christian, a believer and follower of Christ? I haven't heard you say anything about that. If not, I'd think seriously about it. You seem to be full of fear; the Lord can take it away.

ah yes, i enjoy visiting abandoned places and i usually find something interesting- but the places with bad atmosphere i never brought anything back from, i have previously brought a friend to an such place- which later on brought some other people that destroyed the whole house where i was then faced with what seemed to be 4 ghosts of some sort that i had to confront and apologize to and then send them off to the responsible, such spirits can be very aggressive if you mess up their home- god forgive those who work a job where they dismantle old homes!

yes i am but i also know that there are ways to summon evil spirits even without knowing what such is, and even unintentionally fully knowing how- naturally as a christian we will be given many fights with the dark and evil forces so, its a good start to keep such outside of our homes which should be our safest place

I understand spiritual battles; however, we don't win them by fearing the forces of evil but by trusting in the Lord. Let me explain it this way: If you fear the forces of evil you'll never escape them. They'll keep coming back over and over because they know they can haunt you. You could put in my home all the skulls, Ouija boards, broken items, or any other thing that supposedly attracts evil, and I wouldn't be effected one bit. I wouldn't want them there, but if they were there I wouldn't panic and think evil spirits were coming after me. It's all determined by whether you're operating from a spirit of fear, or one of power in the Holy Spirit.

that is an example of what not to do. seeking out encounters like that is not of God.
If you were a true believer in Christ & led by the Holy Spirit you would be convicted in your heart not to do such things, and you wouldnt want to.
I suggest strongly to read your bible, and pray daily for guidance. If you don't attend church, give a reputable pastor in your area a call and seek counseling.
You are messing with things that will lead you into a lot of real problems.


A true beliver would have no problem in the demolition of old homes, as he is protected by God. He would not be afraid ,and he would not go there to seek spirits, but only to do his job.

Your answer is contradictory. You can't be in-between here.
Either you are messing with spiritism, etc or not.
Understand that God warned us about any and all sorceries as a protection FOR US.
Between this answer and the one you gave PGS11 clearly you are messing in that world. If you invite these things in they will come. Be careful here.
i dont know who you wife is praying to. you say you are Christian? Pray to God the Father our our Lord Jesus Christ. Ask him to protect and guide you into His truth. That truth is only in His Son.
Read your bible and contact a reputable Pastor nearby for one on one counseling. I would do that ASAP

Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. My friend used to take me to a café where they sold mystical items like crystals and such and also hold seances. She wasn't a Christian but I used to go in the toilet and pray in tongues for it to close down. Guess what? It did.

Also when a medium was set to hold a meeting in our town the Christians got together and surrounded the building with a ring of prayer. It worked. somebody came out and asked them to move away and stop praying as the spirits couldn't get through.

1 John 4:4

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

i feel like that is paralel to challenging god and testing your luck- playing with the fire. i have numerous times warned people shortly before they were put in prison or had major accidents happen that what they just experienced was a warning directly from above- they continued and days later lightning finally struck
i do agree with that part about not to fear- but then again, you cant just chalk up a pentagram with your own blood while not fearing the devil- assuming that would nullify the contract and the summoning
i had one item that got my whole place haunted for several days even after it was thrown out- so i know that sometimes you messed up and you just gotta let each wave hit you. god can forgive you- but that doesnt mean you will dodge the consequences.

ah- i have a big quartz crystal and even some of those epoxy-cast pyramids with metal objects inside
they are tied to spiritualism but i just keep them because they look nice, i made the pyramid casts myself from scrap metal.. orgone they call it, mostly because i was informed they can affect and remove electromagnetic radiation
(spoiler: it cant, i tested it - but specific sandpaper types can perfectly block that! black silicon carbide sandpaper)

i might have a green crystal somewhere which my witchmother assigned to me when i was very young, supposedly to help me with sleeping
i suppose that might be great to hand back to my mother .. whos calling me now - hm!
