Subject: Confusing the mortal
Good day Auntie Diabolica!
I trust you are well and enjoyed your latest vacation to Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'apai Volcano. Was it hot enough for you? I hear that the lava is particularly good at this time of year. Nothing compares to the fun we had with Mount Vesuvius, however! Remember all the beings we ushered into their own personal ‘hot spots’? That was a highlight of our miserable lives.
So, I have a dilemma with my new human. We will forget the fiasco of my last Homosapien and how she slipped through my fingers at the very last second. That dratted Spirit came into her room when my back was turned for literally a second, and before I knew it, she told Our Enemy she wanted to be with him! I am still seething over that one. But it is a new era with a new victim; I mean charge.
Anyway, here is my issue. He has somehow learnt about the blasted armour that awful Paul wrote about*. He is now always ready to repel any advances I make against him. My flaming arrows don’t work! Did you decide to punish me for losing my last charge by giving me this person? I can’t make any headway!
In ‘Piercing the Armour 301’ (a class you taught excellently, may I say?), you tackled how to get the arrow of doubt, unbelief, and scepticism past the armour and into their mind or their spirit. I’ve tried everything – when he’s viewing YouTube, I’ve ensured he’s watched some of our greatest allies, but it’s all for naught. I've even worked with Agares and Orobas to bring their humans into contact with my person, as they've done wonders with their charges and have them well on their way to eternal torment, but even that has failed so far.
I am still trying to figure out what to do now. During this pandemic, I thought I had him; he was isolated, we closed the churches, and I ensured temptations surrounded him. Nothing worked. In fact, the isolation made him call out to J-J-J- you know, the Son, even more.
I am at my wit’s end! You were a significant tempter in the Middle Ages and dealt with some big names who now burn in anguish. What do you recommend? This armour is impenetrable, yet the instructions for them to wear it are simple. How does that even work?
Please email me (and without the .cc this time – I don’t need Pithius’ pithy one-liners mocking me more than necessary) and give me some guidance. I can’t afford to let another dupe escape my clutches. My place in hell depends on this!
I remain, forever and always,
Your loving niece,
Strumpet
