Yes, really.
Alpha News reports that the Walker Art Center held a pagan ritual geared toward families last weekend, with a performance called “Lilit the Empathic Demon.”
The event description on the organisations website reads “Demons have a bad reputation, but maybe we’re just not very good at getting to know them.” The event featured an ‘artist’ called Tamar Ettun who claims to create “demon traps.”
