This
is an article that I have wanted to write for a while now. I have had many
people ask me about becoming a Religious Demonologist, and how to go about
doing it. The title pretty much says it all. To be a Religious
Demonologist you need to do your training and studying through, and with
the help of the church. That’s why it’s called “Religious” Demonologist.
You are studying Demonology through the church, and your religious faith.
For most Demonologists’ that is the Christian faith. A lot of the articles
I have written on this site are based on the Catholic tradition of
Demonology. Every denomination has their own requirements however, so it
is up to the person studying the subject, and the clergy that is teaching
them, etc. as to how they will go about the training. Once the initial
training is completed, the clergy of that particular denomination and the
person that is being trained will decide what to do next.
When
you are studying to be a Religious Demonologist you never really quit
learning. This field of work requires constant learning, and studying, and
there are no experts. The Catholic tradition for Demonology is the most
popular because the Catholic Church pretty much established the field. The
Catholic Church for example usually requires the person to be either
clergy, or to be ordained once they have finished their initial studies
into the subject. Some of the Catholic churches require the person
studying to become a Religious Demonologist to write an essay type paper
to make sure that they understand the field, etc. before being ordained.
There
are however three basic requirements that most churches agree on when it
comes to Religious Demonology. Number one, you should be a born-again
Christian. Number two, you need to study certain subjects. Number three,
you need to learn those subjects with the help of the church (The clergy).
To
be a Religious Demonologist is not something you can do as a hobby. I have
stated this before in other articles. When a person becomes a Religious
Demonologist it is usually because they feel they were called by God to do
it. They have spoken with their family about it, prayed about it, and they
also receive support, backing, and teaching from their church. This is a
very dangerous field because of what you’re dealing with on a regular
basis. Some Religious Demonologist live pretty secluded lives, and do not
have many friends. The friends they do have however are usually very close
friends and understand and support them. It is a simple fact that most
people do not truly understand how this field of work and study affects
the Demonologist, or what it takes to do it. Some
Religious Demonologist, including myself, have at least one or two
mentors, or people that have given or continue to give them guidance in
the field. It is very difficult to learn everything you need to from just
one person. That is simply because not all Demonologist study, or learn
the same things and some may know more about a particular subject than
others. Other than getting the proper help and teaching from the church,
it also a great idea to try and get help and guidance from a willing,
reputable, and experienced Demonologist. If
you are interested in becoming a Religious Demonologist, here are some
words of caution. This is a very dangerous field. You are dealing with the
diabolical. Nothing is beneath a demon. You must have a strong faith in
God and Jesus Christ, and you must have a serious mind and personality.
When you deal with the demonic you are not only putting yourself at risk,
but your loved ones as well if you’re not careful.
Although
Demonology falls into the paranormal field, it is still on a whole other
level than your common paranormal case. Many investigators have found this
out the hard way. Once you get into the field of Demonology, it’s not that
easy to get out of. If this is a field that you think you may be
interested in please think very carefully about it, pray about it, and
talk with your family about it before deciding anything. This is not
something that you can just jump into, or do simply because you find it
“fascinating”. If you have any questions please feel free to email
me.
