Who knew that the devil had a factory where he made millions of fossils, which his minions distributed throughout the earth, in order to confuse my tiny brain?

And you're not afraid...of the devil? Of his minions? "Fear men, Luzia," he said. "Fear their ambition and the crimes they commit in its service. But don't fear magic or what you may do with it.

It was utterly egotistical of me to take the blame for everything bad that ever happened around me. I wasn’t a god. I wasn’t the devil or some minion of evil.

The Devil's minions worked his treacherous plot through the hearts of men, possessing them, ruling them. These hounds of hell ran wild these days through their human hosts, working greater and greater abominations.

An obscure character by the name of Belial. He is interpreted as a minion of the devil by some scholars, but that is wrong. It is ignorance. The name means, literally speaking, 'one who cannot be yoked,' and it is really every one of us who takes control of our own destiny while others blow in the wind. We may be punished for it, but we would never do it another way. We are all Belials.

A dark shadow leaped from the stairs, his long coat flowing behind him like demon wings, landing in between her and Warrington.

He looked like the devil, come to take his minion. His hair black as obsidian. His scarred eye glittering with so many dark things, Farah couldn't identify a single one through her shock.

Faith leaned closer, inches from his face, her loips a hands breadth from his. She shook her head side to side a bit faster than the average metronome and waggled a finger back and forth. "They not going to find out though, are they?

Our culture's official rejection of the Crone figure was related to rejection of women, particularly elder women. The gray-haired high priestesses, once respected tribal matriarchs of pre-Christian Europe, were transformed by the newly dominant patriarchy into minions of the devil. Through the Middle Ages, this trend gathered momentum, finally developing a frenzy that legally murdered millions of elder women from the twelfth to the nineteenth centuries.

When I was young I was taught well
better to give than to receive
what to do with life I was told
what goals I must achieve
but well intentioned goals of others
were simply not my own
found living my own life no theirs
the full cost of which was my home
I'm full of clear dichotomy
of pleasure and of pain
like loving long days of summer
just as much as those of rain
a thriving centre of attention
I'm comfortable alone
putting others first comes naturally
but my motives are my own
I like to taste sweet delicacies
of loving and of touch
but equally my heart can freeze
when it all becomes too much.
I'm comfortable with the physical
what many would call sin
knowing you cannot spread love to others
if you can't love the skin you're in.
I find myself helping those with troubles
in their times of greatest need
yet my own pain that I suffer from
my own advice I ought heed
I do not expect a following
beside me in my pain
but I'm always pleasantly comforted
by those with me in the rain.
A hopeless female Shakespeare
whose world is getting dark
hoping in small ways at least
I'm able to leave my mark
a successful life is not counted in years
for I shall soon be gone
but by how many lives I have touched and helped
with my humble single one.
I'm grateful of the life I've had
mixed privilege with suffering
maybe I just lived it a little too fast
while others rested during buffering
what memory of me might last
when I step through the final door
I'd rather it be how I faced the world
always with a mighty roar.
And so when the time comes for me
to face my final curtain
I'll face death with the same energy for life
of this you can be certain
no subtle soft exit for this dark winged bird
I'm no peaceful mindless minion,
I'll regale of my sins with the devil himself
in eternity of riotous oblivion.

When man makes himself his own Sun—that is, his own God—then he destroys his world. As ex-communist Whittaker Chambers observed, Marx and his minions were merely echoing the first mistake of man, initiated way back in the Garden of Eden: ye shall be as gods.

concluding that America had not enjoyed Jesus’ grace, just as Acosta had done in The Natural and Moral History of the Indies (1604).46 Many a European considered America as the realm of Satan’s minions, the last place in the world to learn about the gospel and where the devil’s presence was constant.

Whether the devil or his minions, it seems these hellions enjoy bringing their victims to the brink of death and then, so they can cause the same havoc again, leave them to fester in the cesspool of fear they have created; like soaking a piece of meat in a tenderizing brine overnight so as to make it easier to chew on after.
