In this episode of Cryptid Warfare, I sit down with Dr. Dennis Carroll to confront one of the most dangerous and misunderstood realities of spiritual warfare: familiar spirits and spiritual blindness. Why do some people seem irrationally hostile toward you? Why does darkness recognize light—and seek to destroy it? Dr. Carroll breaks down the unsettling truth that hatred, manipulation, and spiritual sabotage often stem from cooperation between humans and assigned familiar spirits. When darkness is accepted, it authorizes itself—blinding the host to their own thoughts, actions, and moral collapse. Drawing from Scripture and excerpts from The Demon Factor: Beyond the Edge of Supernatural Darkness, we expose the hierarchy of the Kingdom of Darkness—from Satan as the Prince of the Power of the Air, to fallen angels, demons, serpent-seed human agents, and even cryptid entities born of shadow science and black magic.

This episode dives deep into:

The biblical definition of familiar spirits

How witchcraft and “shadow work” function as spiritual contracts

Why spiritual blindness is voluntary before it becomes enslaving

The concept of serpent seed and human agents of darkness

God’s explicit warnings in Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy against sorcery, divination, mediums, and spiritism

Scripture is clear: consulting familiar spirits is not spiritual enlightenment—it is rebellion, defilement, and alignment with forces hostile to God and humanity.

This is not speculation.

This is not metaphor.

This is spiritual warfare, exposed.

Listener discretion advised. This episode pulls no punches.
