Hauntings: Education is Key to Prevention
In the movies it is usually incredibly dramatic and a straight up demon throwing people everywhere. Knowing a little can change a lot.
One of the things that stops people developing their spiritual gifts is remembering that feeling when they saw those figures at the end of their bed as a child. Sliding the blanket over their head, hoping, praying that they would just leave.
These figures could have been any number of things with any number of intents - but one thing is for sure. You saw them.
As an adult the games changes; if you have an inkling that you are dealing with something unwanted in your home, you take control of the situation and evict them. They aren’t paying rent so why should you share.
Many people go straight back into the helplessness they had as a child and gaslight themselves into not believing it and work, stress or hormones gets the blame. When the truth is the sooner you take action, the easier it is to remove.
Not all hauntings are from spirits will ill intent. Some might be lonely, some can see that you can help them and some are just lost children, but the symptoms that can unwittingly evoke can still be terrifying….(I mean no one likes a spirit child watching them sleep).
The Education Needed
An acceptance that some of the dead go astray and remain one shade away from the physical, and the knowledge that you can make your home inhospitable to them. Everyone had this knowledge previously, including Christians, until the Church needed extra funds and to add a little to their authority over their congregation so an announcement was made that God had spoken and now it was only Priests who could command the evil spirits to leave.
This is a lie.
And as I mentioned previously, the majority of these ‘evil’ spirits are just people who might have missed the doorway when they died and are looking for help. So some hopped up priest shouting at your 4’ 2’ Grandma to ‘leave this place’ is ridiculous and honestly, there is no power in this.
There is so much more power in you protecting your own home - and it is easily done with a few ingredients, and a belief in something else.
You do not need to be clairvoyant. You do not need to have a ton of knowledge. You do not need to be part of any group or religion/tradition.
Simple is Better
All it usually takes is a weekly ‘cleanse’ in your home and trusting when you feel something is off.
There are whole book written on incredibly intricate protection methods - but if you are living a normal life and your home isn’t somewhere incredibly intense like the middle of a battlefield or next to an abattoir, it is unnecessary.
A very necessary note here: unless you are indigenous to North America, you should not be using sage. It is not yours.
You have your own medicine. Use it.
When you use the methods of your dead relatives it connects you to them and they will help protect your home. This is a game changer.
If you protect your home and your neighbour does the same, and a couple of women two streets away, it creates a kind of net that protects everything within in and the energy of the whole place changes into something of ease.
The great side effect of regularly cleansing is that everyone in the home is happier, there is less stress, problems are walked through easily and anyone with health problems will find they feel a little better. It just makes everything feel ‘clear’.
So if you get the chance, do a little research and find out what methods your ancestors used, and if you want to take it one step further The Order of Bona Dea will have a workshop in August/September to explain how to cleanse and which method is yours.
