The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has come under heavy scrutiny lately after the public venue held a “playful demon summoning session” for families and children, topped off by a performance called “Lilit the Empathic Demon.”
The description of the event reads:
At August Free First Saturday, Brooklyn-based artist Tamar Ettun (she/they) will present Lilit the Empathic Demon. The performance is inspired by Lilit, an aerial spirit demon with origins in Sumerian, Akkadian, and Judaic mythology.
Families are invited to create a vessel to trap the demon that knows them best—perhaps the “demon of overthinking”—and then participate in a playful ceremony to summon and befriend their demon.
This project was organized in collaboration with Dreamsong, which will also host a conversation between the artist and writer Elisabeth Workman on August 4 at 5:30 pm.
On a separate page Tamar Ettun displays some of her works on display at that museum, explaining the ancient practice of creating “demon traps” – which she would later teach families and children how to do as well.
In medical-magical traditions from the 2nd-7th century, Lilit appeared on incantation bowls, a healing technology used to protect against demons, who were thought to cause illness, pain, and loss. Just as scientific treatment is accepted today, artist-healers of the time would create spells, drawings, and talismanic objects to bind demons (most often, Lilit).
Tamar Ettun revives these rituals by creating demon traps of various scales and materials — clay, iron, textiles, in performance and video — but also proposes a conceptual shift, told from Lilit’s perspective as the healer. The exhibition parts with the historical gender binarism that associates Lilith’s archetype with unchecked violence and manipulation; here, Lilit mediates the inner demons and renegade instincts that are deliberately silenced.
Asking us to consider whose stories, memories, and experiences are occluded in the process of demonization, How to Trap A Demon builds on the artist’s research into the insidious side of empathy, empathy fatigue, trauma-healing modalities, and astrology as storytelling.
The description reads
She also has a video of her performing a ritual and odd worship to these demons she attempts to summon.
Alpha News published a succinctly detailed report on more information surrounding the event:
The event was designed for families, and finished with a “playful demon summoning session.”
After designing your trap, Lilit the Empathic Demon will come from the dark side of the moon to lead you in locating your feelings using ancient Babylonian techniques. This collective and playful demon summoning session will conclude with a somatic movement meditation, designed to help you befriend your shadows.
The website explains.
Other Walker Art Center Free First Saturdays were 10,000 lakes and ’90s themed.
Ettun previously had her artwork, “How to Trap a Demon,” on display in New York at the Richard and Dolly Maass Gallery.

The exhibition details read. One image shows Ettun washing what appears to be a placenta with a watering can.
Ettun also has “Texts from Lilith” available for sale on her website. “31 cards to connect you to your demon,” it says.
Ettun encourages people to communicate with Lilit by texting “SUMMON” to 833-575-1049, according to an article on the Walker Art Center’s website. According to the article, the demon sends monthly messages with “demon drawings and somatic instructions.”
The article posted on the Walker’s website also explains how Ettun came up with this art project. “Lilit came to [Ettun] when she was at a residency, spending her days and nights in a haunted firehouse-turned-museum making knots and having just found out she was pregnant.”
The Walker Art Center has received millions of dollars in taxpayer funds through Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, which routinely funds projects with a left-wing agenda.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[20] But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. [21] Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. [22] Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he? [20] And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: [21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. 1 Corinthians 10:20-22; Revelation 9:20-21
As this godless nation continues to drive itself further and further into the abyss, the more the Lord’s fierce wrath and indignation will poured out on it, and for good reason.
But how dare I judge them, right? After all, that’s just “art” and her “artistic expression,” don’t you know?
[1] Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hephzi-bah. [2] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. [6] And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. [9] But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel. 2 Kings 21:1-2, 6, 9
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

The video should be called “How to Summon a Demon” instead. People have no problem dealing and discussing about demons, but have a problem with the God of the KJB. That just proves the veracity of His word…
Satanism is getting so mainstream and spread out, they don’t even hide it anymore. Whether it’s the Freemasons with their false christianity (mostly Baptist but all the rest as well) and Roman Catholics including Jesuits and knights or the Illuminati controlled celebrities, Satan is no longer hiding because his time is so short!
There’s some serious devilment there. Lilit/Ishtar was a feminine goddess in their mythology having clawed feet like a bird of prey. She was represented a lot in what archaeologists have found throughout the middle east, & was said to seduce, & then tear her ‘lovers’ to shreds with those talons.
–
That resonates with worldly abused women, as men leave the natural use first, tempting them to take their real offense & to join themselves with that & the unnatural lesbos rather than to go to the Lord with it, & perhaps ending well as Rahab, or the other, later, converted & born again Gentile women like Lydia etc. Romans 1 and Acts.
–
Jews are very heavily represented in the ‘mental health’ and ‘psychology’ field, beginning with Freud in the modern era: and ALL of their terminology is pagan, hearkening back to these things though they ‘scientize’ it with their ‘science falsely so called’…..as well as their being very heavily represented in the ‘arts’.
–
Anyways, this fits right into the pattern of cultural decline in Romans 1 KJB. It’s very evil, but is so common that folks tend to overlook it with the current feminine Jezebel part of God’s judgment on the world, and the ‘Queen of Heaven’/mama bear corruptions of godly femininity and family. The darker aspects of it show up with some of those wicked ‘prophetess’ and ‘apostle’ types like scary Heidi Baker whose judgment is sure.
–
There are 5 verses relating to the ‘Queen of Heaven’ in the King James Bible & she brings death & destruction. Tammuz is the perpetually dying ‘son’…..another picture of the Isis/Horus/Set thing & false ‘trinity’. It’s part of the privy member/feminine filthy religion and common ground drawing all the cults together for the final antichrist ‘union’, & they smear their arrogance & their filth over all they can. Serpentine fascination draws the curious & foolish as a moth to the flame, especially with their fornications & lasciviousness attached & promoted. Lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life.

Jer 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
Jer 44:17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
Jer 44:18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
Jer 44:19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
Jer 44:25 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.

Ezekiel 8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

They also call Tammuz, Dumuzi and such things…..with many being drawn into these things through biblical ignorance & confusion, and the ‘sciences’: history and archaeology, and even linguistics contributing to the wicked revisionism. Now with 20+ years being around professing Christians, and 10 with the King James Bible….as I see the antichrist Scholastic desired changes for the King James Bible that are already footnoted in Swordsearcher & slow down to take note of the doctrines that are affected ….it’s very eye-opening. Make sure you are acquiring good, hard copy King James Bibles while you can, for the famine & corruption of the word is poised to be ramped up a notch & many will be deceived.
–
The propagandists & their spirit, that old father of lies, want to foster self-hatred & false guilt, offense etc to keep folks from humility & wisdom, a close walk with the Lord & his word. They want to stir up civil war and real division…not united in the truth & Gospel, the word of God….to get them to do their wicked bloody deceitful work for, & with, them.
–
Classic Romanism: she used Edom to that end, since Jordan is also in the news these days with her own censoring: pagan Rome always had an official censor, & it was connected with the ‘serpent wisdom, the Babylonian mysteries and pagan craft, then as now.
–
Be careful not to be drawn into their trap & used.
–
They also use this sort of thing, & news release, for their good guy/bad guy, white hat/black hat routine. Remember how they promoted that witchy woman & the rich Greek orthodox women & family that one black entertainer was connected with who played ‘Yeesus’? The Cardashian’s. The other woman was of Eastern European descent & ‘painted’ with supposed pig’s blood, and then they drew in the holograms?
–
By emphasizing the corrupt Jewish Lilit aspects of this common Middle East mythology, & this woman, they can also ramp up more real anti-semitism.
–
Note that it’s also yin/yang, and like taquiya and Jesuit ‘mental assent’…..and the karmic Augustinian God who supposedly has evil in him because be purposed evil in judgment upon Israel with the Babylonians….flimsy & building their ‘doctrine’ upon one verse ripped out of context from Isaiah.
–
They want people to ’embrace’ their dark side as though it brought them power rather than destruction: deconstructing and fragmenting personality & making them like unthinking brute beasts. Removing them from truth, the Bible & the Lord….destroying natural affection, causing the coarsening of many consciences, tempting, always tempting. Breeding rebellion & bringing God’s judgment.
Fantastic in depth post, thank you!
May I only add that Lullabies to lull children to sleep began as songs to protect children from Lilit. They sang so that Lilit, also known as Lilith, Lilitu, or Lilis would pass by, “Lula bye”, and not steal the children.
Complete and utter abomination. I wonder if ya would be allowed to have a Bible reading session at that library; there would be rioting in the streets.
God’s judgement is ready to hit the fan
If there’s one thing artists know how to do, it’s how to copy one another. Nothing new under the sun. Rest assured this will soon become as commonplace at every art gallery in America as drag-queen story hour in the libraries. Targeting the families and children, and encouraging devil possession of the youth.
Even so, come Lord Jesus.
