Synopsis

The world’s only non-denominational exorcist tells her astonishing true story: a riveting chronicle of wrestling entities from infected souls, showing how pain and trauma opens us to attachment from forces that drain our energy . . . and can even destroy our humanity.

As a secular exorcist, Rachel H. Stavis has cleansed thousands of tormented people, from small children and Hollywood moguls to stay-at-home moms and politicians. But for many years, the horror screenwriter and novelist denied her gift. As a little girl, she began to see "monsters" floating around her bedroom or attached to other children. Told it was only her imagination, Rachel learned to ignore the things she saw.

But a series of events in adulthood forced her to acknowledge her unique ability and embrace her power to heal. Since then, Rachel has dedicated her life to helping others cast off the forces feeding off of us. Performing her services pro-bono, she quietly worked in the shadows, until she unknowingly revealed her work to a journalist, who told her story to NPR.

A unique look at demonology removed from religious dogma, Sister of Darkness recounts Rachel’s journey to becoming an exorcist and chronicles some of her most extreme cleansings cases, including those that put her and her clients in peril. Going deep into her world, we meet the diverse range of people she has helped—young, old, famous and not—in gripping stories of danger and sometimes sadness, that are ultimately about redemption. Rachel teaches us that there are a diverse range of "entities" surrounding us—some of these are playful or misguided, while some are dangerous and harmful. She introduces each of them and explains their power, helping us understand what is attacking and hurting us, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

Frightening, eye-opening, and utterly enthralling, Sister of Darkness brings to light a world ruled by destruction, chaos and fear, and the woman who bravely fights to protect those who seeks her out.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Demons are real . . . and they are everywhere

We may not be able to see them, but they are all around us. Smoke and shadows, ghoulish features or lifelike forms, they are the demons, or what Rachel Stavis calls “entities,” that surround us, or even attach themselves to our bodies, feeding off our fears and our negative energy. As an exorcist without religious affiliation, Rachel has found herself at the crux of the spiritual crossroads of thousands of clients—all of whom she’s been able to save by ridding them of their emotional and physical pain, and getting at the root causes of why they are so vulnerable to attack.

Sister of Darkness is Rachel’s story—how she discovered her gift for communicating with the spirit world and how she learned to accept it and use it to help those in need, from small children to powerful people from all walks of life. Rachel takes us on a journey into an unseen world, describes the diverse range of entities that surround us, the Spirit Guides and Ancient Ancestors that come to her aid to reveal the root causes of pain, and what you can do to protect yourself from creating a hospitable environment.

A unique look at demonology removed from religious dogma, Sister of Darkness creates a world that is at times frightening, eye-opening, and utterly enthralling.
