TRENDING:

Targeting Children: Walker Art Center Holds ‘Ceremony To Summon And Befriend’ Demons

Jan Markell

Our times are not just strange, they are dangerous, and offer eternal consequences on an hourly basis. And if you live in my liberal home state of Minnesota, there are constant challenges.

Many think our Walker Art Center is a cultural icon to be proud of, so hold on! They are now holding pagan rituals for families that summon up the demons. You read that right. I could never make this up.

Families are invited to create a vessel to trap the demon that knows them best and then participate in a playful ceremony to summon and befriend their demon. Yes, I said families, so that means children are targeted here.

“Demons have a bad reputation, but maybe we’re just not very good at getting to know them,” an event description reads. “After designing your trap, Lilit the Empathic Demon will come from the dark side of the moon to lead you in locating your feelings using ancient Babylonian techniques,” the website explains.

“This collective and playful demon summoning session will conclude with a somatic movement meditation, designed to help you befriend your shadows.”

Pictured in the promotion of this outrageous occult extravaganza are children ages 2-3-4. This is outright indoctrination into the dark arts. The young are already blitzed by Hollywood and the music industry, but now an art center has tapped into their inner demons, trying to market them to unsuspecting parents and children.

Hundreds of parents will naively participate! They let their kids participate in Halloween, so now, we’ve moved one step higher to teach them how to summon demons.

The Bible says in II Timothy 3:13 that “evil will wax worse and worse”, and this is just one manifestation of this in these last days.

The Walker Art Center has received millions of dollars in taxpayer funds through Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, which routinely funds projects with a left-wing agenda, and obviously, a Godless agenda.

If we aren’t constantly on guard for the wiles of the devil, he will find a way to move into your life and those you love.

Ephesians‬ ‭6:11-12‬ ‭KJV‬‬ – “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Misidentifying The Enemy: What Happens When a Nation Can No Longer Recognize Its Allies?

When a nation loses the ability to distinguish between allies and adversaries, truth and propaganda, leadership and political theater, it becomes vulnerable long before the first battle is lost. The headlines may change, but the underlying challenge remains the same. As conflict intensifies in the Middle East, foreign governments expand their influence, and political narratives compete with objective reality, Americans are confronted with a pressing question: Can we still recognize the difference between those who defend freedom and those who seek to undermine it? These are not isolated controversies. They are warning signs that discernment has become one of the most important responsibilities of our time. 

A Debt We Can Never Repay: Why Israel Should Have A Place In Every Christian’s Heart

Yes, Christianity has emphasized the biblical message of grace for two thousand years, and the spread of the Church has been extraordinary. But that message is ours because it was passed down from the Jewish people. The Gospel was born in Israel. It was nursed and cradled by the Hebrew nation in the land promised to their ancestors. It was Jewish apostles who carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth. The first churches were established by Jewish missionaries. Our faith—from beginning to end—flows through Israel.

The Slippery Slope Of Australia’s Spirituality: A Deliberate Campaign Of Atheism

On 29 July 2026, the church that I pastor played host for the Brisbane leg of a tour of Australia by Amir Tsarfati and Pastor Barry Stagner. On that blessed evening, over 1,000 people gathered together for praise, powerful preaching, prayer, and of course, photos with these two beloved servants of God. Even though we hired a large venue for the evening, seating was limited. This meant that, sadly, many missed out on being able to attend. One such person who was not able to secure tickets remarked that it would be wonderful if this was the dilemma faced by every Bible-believing church in Australia on a Sunday morning. Yet Australia's overall spiritual landscape suggest a disturbing deterioration away from Biblical belief.
