1. His Eminence was answering a question asking:
"How can we understand whether we are under magic or demonic influence?"
Some symptoms (they need not all occur together) he mentioned prior to this segment:
"Weak memory, lapses or gaps in memory, disturbed sleep.
When attending an Orthodox church during the Divine Liturgy,
they feel someone or something restraining them from entering.
(Compare what happened to Saint Mary of Egypt when she tried to visit the Holy Sepulchre).
They cannot venerate wonder-working relic and holy icons.
They cannot sit next to a virtuous man."
Then he went on to mention the incident with the Psalter in the video.2. At 2:04,
"This is not something difficult to [decide to] do."His Eminence means that it's not difficult to seek help from an Orthodox priest in case you suspect you are under demonic or witchcraft influence.
However, not all priests are suited for this task.
His Eminence said: "They need to have certain qualities: first and foremost humility, fasting and prayer."3. I've cited the links below in the past.
Specifically, in the video description of this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwcCegyLbPYSince, St. Gerasimos of Kefalonia is mentioned again in this video,
it's a good opportunity to cite them one more time to remind people who we are up against.
-----
St. Gerasimos of Kefalonia is another saint with a gift against demonic spirits.
You can find information about St. Gerasimos of Kefalonia online.
A video of his incorrupt relic kept in the holy burial shrine (larnaka) in his monastery in Kefalonia.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppmGwnQ3cj0Each year the Greek faithful on the island of Kefalonia have a processions with St. Gerasimos’ relics on his feast days.
People lay on the ground so that his relics can be carried over them.
It is common for demon-possessed people (whether they know it or not) "to react" while the relic of the saint passes above them:

In the last video, the woman is screaming:
(1:20) "Gerasimos go away ... Gerasimos you healed me ... "
(1:30) "Gerasimos you chased away the spells ... what else do you want?..."

4. The saints have said that "witchcraft and Satan worship" are one of the three spiritual causes behind the unfolding evils and the coming World War.The 38th "Lighter of the Saints" Meetings which took place on 30 September 2024
deals with this matter and more. If you haven't watched it, please do.
You'll find many things you'll need.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdbHQ5q6_es (subtitles have mistakes).5. Another enlightening excerpt:
Saint Paisios on the Holy Incorrupt Relics of Saint Spyridon the Wonderworker of Tremithus
"[someone asking Saint Paisios]: Geronda [Paisios], did Saint Spyridon perhaps request from God that his relics remain incorrupt?
[Saint Paisios]: No, how could that happen? The saints do not ask for things like that.
By His economy, God allowed the relics to remain incorrupt in order to help people.
And see how God economized this!
Because Kerkyra, Kefallonia, and Zakyntho are near Italy,
and it would be easy for the people to be seduced by Papism,
"placing a dam over" there with St. Spyridon, St. Gerasimos, and St. Dionysios."*in* Saint Paisios the Athonite, Spiritual Counsels VI: On Prayer
