Chapter 3

Some details of the powers given to goblins to carry out the orders of the Infernal Court

Before I begin my story, let me give you an overview of the powers and methods of the goblins who act on the orders of the infernal court on earth. Firstly, they get to know the people they will persecute. They have deceptive exteriors, the most polite and refined of facades. They make a thousand claims of friendship with the most flattering of words, and make gifts and offerings to gain entry to their targets’ homes and lives. But once they have entered and familiarized themselves with the routines and the character of their victim, they will bring their powers into play. Through them, the evils that plague humanity come into the world. They love only disaster, promoting evil, preventing good. They seduce their victims by pride and ambition. Bring strife to families, poison the mother’s milk, stir up the anger of the soldier, create storms to wreck ships at sea, bring flood where the earth needs sun and scorching heat that destroys the field, and through that, drive up prices, bringing more grief, and that, in its own turn, brings revolution. They frighten without causing harm, cause harm without causing fear. 

As incubi, they enjoy the company of women by night, as succubi, they lure men into the crimes of Sodom and Gomorrah. They delight in tormenting animals, particularly domestic creatures (horses, oxen, donkeys, dogs, cats, squirrels, chickens, ducks…), even taking the form of fleas to nestle in their fur and feathers, whatever suits their needs. They may ride on hair, on fabric, on the body, on the clothes and shoes of their unfortunate victims. They may hide themselves in their victims’ bed, creeping into their ears, their nostrils, even their anus. They flit away from the hand that would swat them. Finally, by means of their pacts, their demons put all the elements at their disposal. It would take too long to list all their powers, but as you read all of what happened to me, and continues to happen, you’ll see their full power.
