Original Note:
It is not demonic, it is in fact a religious practice on Ash Wednesday where a priest draws a cross using ash (made from the burnt palm branches from Palm Sunday) on someone's forehead. The ash symbolizes death and repentance. https://www.christianity.com/wiki/holidays/what-is-ash-wednesday-why-do-christians-celebrate-it.html#ashes_symbolize https://saintannparish.org/the-meaning-of-ash-wednesday/
