The name given is the same demon to which OT Isaiah 34:14 is also translated as Screech owl. She is associated with desolate desert places and also called the night hag. She is also associated as a demon that murders children.
This happened about 20 years ago. My director told me the same thing.
I don’t know all the implications, but the number of instances where others have referenced the name with implied knowledge, they also gave a strong impression of worshiping the occult or witchcraft.
It sounds like this woman got involved in the occult, but was not an authority on it.
An amulet doesn’t protect, but faith in Christ is the first appropriate solution as God provides for all and all things that were created were created by Him. He has authority over them and they fear the consequences of their behavior and thinking before Him. Placing trust in an amulet is likely to act as a beacon for demonic attraction.
You're exactly right. Trusting in anything but God is idolatry. My director took care to make sure I was ok and at our next monthly meeting, asked everyone to let her know if something like this happens again. She wanted us to remember we are in a spiritual battle, and that God is with us. Also, not to think for a minute that “we” are in control; that is sin and playing with fire. That it is God who goes before us and is working through us.
