The Demon of Fear, also known as Barbas, appears on earth once every 1300 years on a Friday the 13th for twenty four hours. His appearance is attributed to the universal convergence of negative energies as described in astrological charts. He derives his life force by feeding off the fears of witches. If he can kill 13 unmarried, single female witches before the stroke of midnight on the 13th, he will be able to break free from his eternal bonds and walk the earth for eternity. A witch’s only defense is to identify and then release her greatest fear. Do not rely on your wicca powers for defense for in the face of your greatest fear, these powers are paralyzed. To let go of your fear, trust in the greatest of all powers.
