Voodoo/Witchcraft Altar on Built-In Furniture | Cherry | Wednesday, January 23, 2008 |
Question: Dear Brother Ignatius Mary, I have left the practice of Voodoo/Witchcraft, have confessed, and am in the process of destroying the remaining objects in the way you have written. However, the altar I used is a built-in countertop in my rented apartment that I cannot remove. How may I remove the influence of the evil I perpetrated on that altar? Thank you. |

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM
Dear Cherry: I praise God that you have left that life and returned to God and His Church. To begin, you need to pray the following to reclaim the ground. Although your sin is forgiven, the consequences can remain, such as attachments and ground that Satan stole from you because of your sin. This prayer renounces those things and reclaims the ground in your life for Christ:
Now as to the counter-top: if you painted or drew any symbols upon it you need to remove those symbols and markings with whatever solution that will work -- turpentine maybe. If you carved any occult markings into the counter-top, then you might sand the counter-top to remove those carvings and repaint or resurface the counter-top. After doing all this, then the following should be done... If none of this applies, and you just used the counter-top as an altar without defacing it in any way, then go straight to the following... Using Holy Water, bless the counter-top with the sign of the Cross, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Then pray this prayer to bless the counter-top:
Then, since you used your home for witchcraft you need to bless your house with a House Cleansing and Blessing (exorcism) (pdf file). If a priest will do this that is great. If a priest will not do this House Cleansing maybe he will do a regular blessing, and then you can do the House Cleansing yourself, or I can lead you over the phone to do the blessing. Welcome back into the Church and may you be blessed, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.
