The Defence

Are You Under Spiritual Attack?

Eight signs the old books catalogued. Ten protections the tradition kept intact.

The Malleus Maleficarum of 1487 catalogued eight signs that the modern reader still recognises immediately. The folk and ecclesiastical traditions that followed preserved ten protective methods, continuously in use to this day. Both are presented here as historical record and as practical reference.

Diagnostic

The Eight Signs

Each sign is a pattern the Malleus catalogued and the modern reader will likely recognise from their own life. One sign may be coincidence; multiple signs at once is the tradition's threshold for action.

Practice

The Ten Protections

Each protection is drawn from a named historical source — the Malleus, Catholic devotional practice, folk magic preserved by ethnographers, and the broader European protective tradition.
