Welcome to Southern Demonology, where we explore the darkest corners of the supernatural. Today, we dive into Demonology 501: Perfect Possession, the ultimate stage of demonic control.


Father Malachai Martin outlines four stages of possession: entry, erroneous judgments, yielding of control, and finally, perfect possession. In this final stage, the victim is completely controlled by an evil spirit, showing no signs of possession and even acknowledging their guilt in crimes. Exorcism is nearly impossible.


Perfect possession might evolve from regular possession or begin with the victim’s willing partnership with the demonic. It’s a terrifying erasure of the self, where the victim consents to be consumed by the Infernal Kingdom.


Despite the scarcity of information, signs of perfect possession include societal rule-breaking and an eerie normalcy that only keen observers can detect. This stage represents a profound attack on humanity, echoing ancient conflicts between good and evil.


Stay safe, and remember, the battle against the demonic is one we must understand to combat.
