ok that illustration is creepy af. where’s it from some sort of Satanism primer for kids? can we just talk about how horrifically abusive that ‘everything stays in the circle and your parents know all about it’ shit is? Sweetheart, you are in a circle somebody else drew for you and then told you you can never leave because circles are unbroken. Bull. Fucking. Shit. You can ABSOLUTELY break the circle and cross it by drawing a line in the sand through the circle and saying N-O. They can’t hold you forever. Nobody owns your soul but you. People can trick you into surrendering your power but parents can’t sell their children’s souls because they don’t own them, their children do. Now the parents could sell them into slavery and that repeated abuse could wear the child’s Spirit and Will down until they feel worthless and THEN the child sells their own soul. But that only works if it’s the child’s choice of his own free will. The trick is grooming somebody’s “free” will into a narrow set of abuser-approved choices.

Just remember this: the devil wouldn’t want your soul if it wasn’t precious, and he wouldn’t have to work this hard to break you if you weren’t so, SO, strong and resilient. There’s hope; don’t surrender.
