Exorcist Warns: Never Keep These Objects in Your Home — You Are Inviting Demons
Our homes are meant to be sacred spaces — places of peace, love, and prayer where families grow in faith and protection under God’s grace. The Church teaches that the Catholic home is a “domestic church”, a sanctuary where the faith is lived and transmitted (CCC 1655–1658).
Yet many homes today are unknowingly filled with objects that invite spiritual darkness. According to exorcists, the devil uses material things as doorways of entry into our lives. These are not harmless decorations or innocent amusements. Some of them are explicitly linked to occult practices, curses, or sinful cultures that reject God. Keeping such items in your home is like leaving the front door open for demonic influence.
In this article, we will examine what exorcists consistently warn against — the objects that attract evil spirits — why they are dangerous, how to recognize them, and how to cleanse your home of them.
1. Why Objects Can Invite Demons.
Some may ask: “Can objects really carry spiritual influence?” The answer is yes.
Scripture shows that holy objects can carry God’s blessing:
The hem of Jesus’ garment healed the bleeding woman (Matthew 9:20–22).
St. Paul’s handkerchiefs and aprons drove out demons (Acts 19:11–12).
Holy oil, water, and salt are sacramentals the Church blesses for protection.
If blessed objects can be channels of grace, then cursed or occult objects can also be channels of darkness. Demons attach themselves to things used in idolatry, witchcraft, or sinful practices. By keeping them in the home, you give them a foothold.
Exorcists testify that when people remove such objects, peace often returns to the house.
2. The Objects Exorcists Warn Against.
(a) Occult Tools (Tarot Cards, Ouija Boards, Crystals, Pendulums)
Exorcists unanimously warn that occult objects are doorways to demonic activity.
Tarot cards and Ouija boards are explicitly designed to summon spirits. These are not games; they are invitations to the demonic.
Crystals, pendulums, and energy charms are linked to New Age practices that rely on “spiritual energy” apart from God. They replace trust in Christ with superstition.
Deuteronomy 18:10–12 warns clearly:
“There shall not be found among you… anyone who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells… Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.”
Keeping these items in your home opens a channel to spirits that do not come from God.
(b) Idols, Statues of Pagan Gods, and “Good Luck” Charms
Any statue, mask, or figurine of pagan deities or idols — whether Hindu, Buddhist, African traditional, Aztec, or other — can carry demonic influence. Even if they are kept as “art” or souvenirs, they represent false gods.
The First Commandment forbids idolatry (Exodus 20:3–5). St. Paul warns:
“The sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God” (1 Corinthians 10:20).
Exorcists say homes filled with such idols often experience oppression, nightmares, or unrest until the items are destroyed. Similarly, “good luck charms” like dreamcatchers, talismans, or amulets are not harmless but rooted in superstition and occult belief.
(c) Pornographic Material or Objects Linked to Impurity
The devil thrives where impurity rules. Keeping pornographic magazines, explicit movies, indecent posters, or even clothing that glorifies lust invites spirits of impurity.
Jesus said:
“Anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28).
Exorcists warn that po*******hy is not just a private sin — it is a spiritual bo***ge. Houses with po*******hy often experience broken relationships, addictions, and loss of peace. Removing such material is a step toward cleansing the soul and the home.
(d) Music, Movies, and Games That Glorify Evil
Entertainment is one of the devil’s subtle weapons. Exorcists warn against keeping:
Music, albums, or posters that glorify Satan, violence, blasphemy, or sexual sin.
Horror films or occult-themed movies that romanticize demonic activity.
Video games that involve witchcraft, satanic imagery, or gratuitous violence.
What you invite through your ears and eyes influences your spirit. Keeping such material in your home creates an atmosphere of darkness.
Philippians 4:8 urges us:
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.”
(e) Objects Cursed or Used in Witchcraft
Exorcists testify that cursed objects are real. Witch doctors, sorcerers, or occult practitioners can dedicate objects — jewelry, gifts, dolls, even clothing — to demonic power.
Fr. Gabriele Amorth, the chief exorcist of Rome, recounted cases where cursed gifts brought misfortune and illness until they were destroyed.
If you receive an object that gives you a sense of dread or coincides with negative events, pray over it, sprinkle it with holy water, and if necessary, destroy it.
(f) Symbols of the Occult and Satanism
Objects with occult or satanic symbols — inverted crosses, pentagrams, “all-seeing eye,” zodiac signs, or even fashionable items with hidden occult markings — are dangerous. Wearing or displaying them normalizes evil and can invite demonic presence.
Even if used “ironically” or as fashion, exorcists warn that demons take such symbols seriously. The devil doesn’t care if you “don’t mean it”; displaying his symbols gives him a claim.
(g) Drugs and Paraphernalia
Illicit drugs and objects connected to them (pipes, rolling papers, bongs) are often linked to demonic activity. Drugs open the mind to altered states that make the soul vulnerable to spiritual attack. Exorcists report many cases of possession or oppression tied to drug use.
1 Peter 5:8 warns:
“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
Keeping drug-related objects in the home is keeping poison for both body and soul.
(h) Books on Witchcraft, Magic, or the Occult
Many homes contain “harmless” books on spells, magic, or occult practices. Even if kept for curiosity or fiction, exorcists warn they attract spiritual darkness.
The Acts of the Apostles records believers burning their books of magic after converting:
“A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly” (Acts 19:19).
The Word of God makes clear: these things are not compatible with Christian life.
3. Signs That Your Home May Be Spiritually Oppressed.
How do you know if objects in your home are attracting evil spirits? Exorcists point to these signs:
Frequent unexplained illnesses or misfortunes.
Restlessness, fear, or heaviness in the atmosphere.
Nightmares, sleep paralysis, or disturbances at night.
Tension, anger, or division among family members.
Unnatural attachment to certain objects despite knowing they are problematic.
If these signs are present, prayer and discernment are needed.
4. How to Cleanse Your Home.
If you discover these objects in your house, here’s what to do:
(a) Renounce and Repent
First, renounce any involvement with these objects. Pray:
“In the name of Jesus, I renounce and reject all sin and all occult practices. I ask God’s forgiveness for keeping these things in my home.”
(b) Remove and Destroy
Exorcists recommend not just hiding, but destroying such items. Burn books or magazines, break idols, and throw away cursed objects. Do not give them to others, as that spreads the evil.
(c) Bless and Consecrate the Home
Invite a priest to bless your home with holy water and prayers. Use sacramentals such as blessed salt, crucifixes, and the Rosary. Pray the Rosary as a family, enthrone the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and ask Mary’s protection.
(d) Live in Grace
Most importantly, stay in a state of grace. Go to confession, receive the Eucharist, and pray daily. A holy home is a fortress no demon can pe*****te.
5. What to Keep in Your Home Instead.
Instead of cursed or sinful objects, fill your home with holy reminders:
Crucifixes in every room.
Holy water fonts at the entrance.
Images of Jesus, Mary, and the saints.
A family Bible, read daily.
Rosaries for each family member.
Blessed medals and scapulars.
These sacramentals sanctify the home, invite God’s grace, and drive away evil spirits.
Final Reflection.
Exorcists warn with urgency: many Catholics unknowingly keep demonic doorways in their homes. These may look harmless, but they are spiritually poisonous. Occult items, idols, po*******hy, cursed gifts, or media glorifying sin — all of these give the devil a foothold.
The good news is this: Christ has already defeated the powers of darkness. By renouncing sin, removing these objects, and filling your home with prayer and sacramentals, you claim your household for Christ.
Joshua declared:
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15).
Let every Catholic home proclaim the same. Remove what does not belong to God. Let your house be a beacon of light, where the angels dwell and Christ reigns as King.
May the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, and St. Michael the Archangel guard your home.
