240. There are Sirens also in the last heaven

The worst female spirits of all are those who can be called Sirens, for they mask their wrongdoing with a veil of innocence, with so much cunning that anyone would be taken in if the deception were not exposed by God the Messiah. Such a one was she who was described a page back on November 3rd under the heading, The punishment of a witch [232]. Anything whatever that can be found in a person that they can bring out, they do bring out for the purpose of invalidating truth, so one must beware lest anything false enter [the mind], except to be refuted.
