Sister of Darkness: The Chronicles of a Modern Exorcist

While the following review may be critical, I have to say I love this woman! I saw her in an interview and was very interested in reading her book. She’s still very new to all of this. I should give this book a poor review. But, alas, I just can’t. Much can be forgiven for her youth and fervor.She is convinced she’s the only one out there with this gift. Or handling this sort of work. Things would be significantly better for her if she’d research. There’s an entire branch of Catholicism called Charismatic Renewal doing just what she’s doing. There are special masses for healing. Many faiths are involved in healing and deliverance. I would dearly love to tell her to find a Byzantine Catholic church to recharge her batteries in.She is 38, yet the book reads like it was written by a pre-teen. It’s repetitive, and often contradictory. I don’t think she’s lying. People like us have to interpret messages, which seems to make us very creative people. If you’re looking for something intelligent and articulate, pass on this book. If you need bubblegum for the brain, enjoy! If you’re gifted and feel like you’re the only one, buy this book. It’s humorous and uplifting. You are NOT alone! Then hit the library.She calls herself a non-denominational exorcist. What she’s doing is not exorcism. She’s not working with demons. Like so many others trying to make a name for themselves in the field of paranormal, she probably grabbed on to the term “exorcist” for its mystique. She is working with lesser malignant entities, but nothing demonic. In order to be non-denominational – you have to have a faith foundation. She has none.Her lack of knowledge about genuine exorcism has left her highly critical of Catholic priests. Straight up ignorance on her part. Not all priests have an exorcist’s knowledge of demons and/or demonic activities. They gather information in order to refer a person to a trained exorcist. I read her criticisms and just wanted to hug her. Honey let me help…Due to our shaky moral ground, the need for exorcism is on the rise. Back in the 90s, Pope John Paul II demanded that each diocese have an exorcist. The Church even went so far as to launch “exorcism school, which now has a waiting list.” But it’s a long slow climb. In 1998, America had 9 exorcists. By 2015 we had nearly 300. But that’s still not enough.While it’s generally true that priests do not see the disincarnate, I personally know 3 Catholic exorcists and one ordained non-denominational exorcist who use laity with the gift of discernment of spirits. As I said, she’s far from the only one.All that being said, she is the genuine article. She is without a doubt an “eclectic healer.” An eclectic uses the trappings of many faiths or traditions to a singular end.Her belief that she “destroys” these entities is also ignorant. Dangerously ignorant. Science dictates that energy cannot be destroyed. Spirit is energy. Unless you understand how to send these entities back to their origin, or teach a person how to protect themselves, attachments can and do return. Very often with “friends.”She speaks of higher beings coming to assist her, such as Buddha, Mohammed, and Jesus. Here I get red flags. She describes Buddha as a fat jolly fellow. It’s a common America misconception that Buddha is a deity worshipped by Buddhists. The goal of Buddhism is to attain enlightenment (buddhahood) and thereby break the cycle of reincarnation (karma). There are many who attained buddhahood. The most well-known being Siddhartha. Based on her description, the spirit she refers to walked this earth as a monk named Bo Dai. He lived a life similar to Francis of Assisi. He is not a deity. As Francis of Assisi is beloved of all Christians, Bo Dai is beloved by Buddhists, thus depicted often in statuary. Mohammed is not divine. Muslims do not worship him. He’s just a man who founded a religion. Like George Fox who founded the Society of Friends (aka Quakers). We must test the spirit. Always.Jesus is divine. Jesus is a “higher being.” She contradicts herself about him several times. Do I believe Jesus appears to her? I most certainly do! God does not reserve his assistance for Christians. It breaks my heart that so many believe it so.She states she’s never encountered Satan. Satan is not a name. Lucifer isn’t his name either. It means “light bringer,” described as the most beautiful of God’s archangels. I know his true name. If she were actually dealing with demons, she’d know it too. I’m sure he’s appeared to her in some form, and fooled her.Lilith is not a Hebrew goddess, as described in this book. There is a lot of misinformation on the net about Lilith. Most stemming from a satire, not historical text. Actual Hebrew text dictates “lilit” as a night creature. Other ancient texts (Babylonian, Sumerian, Assyrian) dictate that the lilitu are a class of lesser demons. Some creature appears to her in a familiar guise. We must test the spirit.There is truth to what she says about the core. It is where the divine resides within us. The place where malignant entities seek to attach and feed. This is where she works her healing. She needs to familiarize herself with other ways healing occurs in the core. For instance some years the Julian and Gregorian calendars align and Holy Week happens for more than 2 billion people at the same time. With all those people in prayer and supplication for an entire week - spontaneous deliverance and healing is abundant. Prime time for her to work on The Cecil.She desperately needs to read up on the entities she’s dealing with. There is so much ancient wisdom she can tap into if she’d just pick up a book. She regularly contradicts herself on how she describes these entities. Again, I don’t think she’s lying. I think she’s struggling and interpreting things. She needs to drop the arrogance and study. She laughingly comments about genies stating they don’t exist. They most certainly do. The Disney concept of genies has a foundation in truth. Genie derives from the Arabic word Jinn, an entity slightly lower on the spiritual food chain than angels. They wreak havoc and definitely take up residence in people.She talks about how these things look as well as their age, size and gender. Spirit has no gender, no real form, size is irrelevant and it does not age. Though they may manifest with such an appearance, she needs to know this is just “smoke and mirrors.”It was SO refreshing to read her statement that sage has zero influence on entities. Proof positive she’s the genuine article. My eyeballs hurt from all the times I’ve had to roll them when some fool spouts off about burning sage to chase off negative entities. It works to clear negative “energy.” Not negative entities. There is a difference.It pains me that she has no manner in which to keep these things out of her home. Again, if she’d just pick up a book, find a teacher, or a veteran group. She also misunderstands why they visit her. They aren’t curious about her. They are drawn to her light. She’s not a Sister of the Darkness. She’s a Child of the Light.

I purchased this book at the beginning of my spiritual awakening after being an ex-christian agnostic since the age of 16. I had always believed in the paranormal but I didn’t believe in Christianity and struggled with the fact that i believed in demons and angels etc but did not understand how they could be real without the religion. So I spent hours researching and googling if anyone besides Christian and catholic priests (other religions and cultures versions of them) could preform exorcisms. I came across an article all about Rachel and what she does and it let me to buy her book. It was phenomenal and such a good read lol i couldn’t put it down and I read it all in one night! Her book and what she does literally opened mind and led me down all these pathways, now a year and a half later I am a psychic and a witch. Her work truly changed my life and state of mind ♥️ Can’t wait for what she decides to publish next

I bought this book because I was in search of answers on how I could help my BF who I believe was possessed by something dark and I knew he needed a spiritual cleansing. This book was not only a fast and entertaining page turner but it became like my Bible in understanding the spiritual world ( the different kind of demons that suck the life out of low vibrating humans daily) and how we can protect ourselves ( what to buy to raise our frequencies) and our love ones. We are in a spiritual warfare good vs evil and Rachel is a living Angel on earth battling darkness, an Angel in my opinion that is, as she only Claims to be cool ass human. I followed her on IG and reached out and was blessed by the grace of God to get through ! I made my BF read the book as well. Which was the best thing I could have done, because it made him aware of his dark entity as well as made him open to receiving help. He has since passed the book onto his siblings as well and Friends who can’t put this book down. Rachel preformed a remote exorcism on my BF and it’s been almost 3 weeks and he is a completely different person! He is free of all the darkness and the negative soul ties that we’re holding him back from living a happy depressed free life. I would definitely recommend this book and for you to buy 10 more copies for friends and family as Rachel is basically giving the book away for free given the sale price; thus proving my point as to how she is really an Angel, and help spread the word and start waking people up to what’s really going on around us.

I was heavily told to read this book by friends. They told me it fits the description of how I grew up, what I had seen and felt -- what I had experienced and currently experiencing.I read alot of metaphysical books that didn't feel quite legit to me, or it was over-done. But this one? It was pretty close and her sight to see what these entities do and look like were very accurate from what I've been through.Hits the mark very accurately on how I can see them, intuitively and physically as well.I really do agree on many things that were said here on seeing entities, and how they are interpreted. However, after reading some aspects of spiritual figures, how some religions work, and misinformation of history about certain practices, I had to knock down a star.You're also obviously aren't the only one who can help people with some entities as you hinted, and not all entities can be rid of if the core of the host wont cooperate. (It goes the say that you can't change people, people have to want to change to make it work more effectively)I never gave a metaphysical book 5 stars anyway.A parting message: Misinformation about history and how it worked then -- would dampen your credibility. Hope your journey expands further. I wish you luck.

Very different, interesting and eye-opening.

I got the book earlier than expected, I ordered the hard cover. Looks beautiful, nice to add to my library. I will update this review once I start reading it. I did listen to a podcast that featured the author, which prompted me to buy the book. Look forward to a good read.

Amazing book. Loved it.

Awesome book!
