Mother ordered in Sydney court not to expose child to witchcraft

Merry meet all,

A new story came to my attention this morning. The story is about a woman who was told by a judge not to expose her child to witchcraft. Will we ever win? It’s hard to say if this news story is any indication. I have pasted the link into this post below.

A Sydney Family Court judge has ordered a number of restrictions for the parents of a seven-year-old — among them, the mother must not expose the child to her spiritual belief in witchcraft.

The restriction is one of 27 imposed on the couple by Justice Lee Anne MacLeod-Archer in hopes of settling a high-conflict relationship between the parents that has been ongoing in court for most of the child’s life.

In a decision released this week, the judge noted the child is described as bright, articulate, charming and pleasant but now displays signs of anxiety, aggression and hyperactivity and is at risk of developing further mental illness as a result of the conflict between her parents.

“It’s clear the child has seen and heard a lot of arguments and conflict. Sadly, when asked to draw a picture of her family, she pictured herself standing apart from her family members,” said the judge.

When asked to explain why she placed herself standing apart, the child explained, “Just doing nothing … I was tired. That’s how my life rolls.”

The names of the parents were not reported by the judge in order to protect the identity of the child.

The father halted visitations by the mother for nearly a year contending the mother was not adhering to health restrictions imposed as part of Nova Scotia’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

CHILD COMES FIRST

MacLeod-Archer concluded that a previous order of shared custody with the father as primary caregiver is to continue and rejected the mother’s claim for custody.

“The mother frames her submissions in terms of parental rights. But those rights are trumped by the best interests of the child,” ruled the judge.

MacLeod-Archer also wrote that the mother asked the court not to punish her for having a mental illness.

“This decision is not about punishment. It’s about what parenting plan is in the child’s best interests. Shared parenting requires a level of co-operation that is not present in this case,” said the judge, adding the mother will have access, without the father’s consent, to discuss her child’s welfare and progress with teachers, doctors, counsellors and therapists.

The mother admitted to the court she has not been seeking cognitive behavioural therapy as recommended but that she intends to do so.

The mother has told her child things that no child should be hearing including the details of the murder of a friend of the mother’s and that the child’s father did not want her to be born.

“That type of deliberate damage to the child’s trust and love for the other parent is unacceptable and it must never happen again,” said the judge.

The court was also told that while at the mother’s home, the child was allowed to watch scary movies and play violent/adult-themed games which the judge said were not appropriate for a child of her age.

The father also expressed concern that the child has been exposed to witchcraft.

“A child of seven years old, who is already exhibiting signs of anxiety and stress, and who is at risk of developing further mental health challenges, is far too young to be exposed to witchcraft,” ruled MacLeod-Archer, adding that day may come when the mother can explain her beliefs to her child but that can only come with permission of the father.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

The mother vowed not to let the child visit her altar located in the home.

“I am concerned about her (the mother’s) willingness to comply with this restriction. She may view it as an infringement on her religious freedoms, much as she views the requirement to wear a mask as an infringement on her personal liberties,” said the judge.

“If that is the case,” said the judge, “the mother must realize that her right to practise her beliefs is not affected by my decision. It is only the sharing of her beliefs with the child that is.”

During the hearing, the mother said she considered the pandemic a hoax and does not agree with being compelled to wear a mask and that the current health restrictions are a bit much.

The restrictions ordered by MacLeod-Archer include that both parents comply with all public health directives during the current pandemic, and they not discuss or question the child about the other parent’s personal life or activities.

All adult-themed movies and games portraying paranormal, supernatural, violent or sexualized stories are not to be shown or made available to the child.

The mother is also prohibited from exposing the child to symbols relating to her spiritual belief.

When it comes to communication, the parents will only converse via text or email and all such communications are to be child-focused, cordial and to the point.

The child is not to be shown or hear any discussions concerning court proceedings. Neither side is allowed to post any comment, music, poems or photos on social media about the other parent and any existing posts are to be removed.

Both parents were also ordered to enrol in counselling and the father is to make arrangements for the child to have counselling to help deal with the emotional impact of the parental conflict.

This is infuriating. It is an infringement on a person’s freedom and religious discrimination. No one is telling me what to do and what not to do, especially when it comes to my own personal spiritual practice. Everyone has the right to that. I bet there will be a backlash and strong reaction to this story in the near future. They could have written the headline much better than that. I believe a person should be able to what they want in their own home. I sure do intend to exercise my own rights. Time to wear my witch hat in public. 
I’m currently reading the book Ghost Hunting for Dummies by Zac Bagans. One section of the book discusses questions to ask people being interviewed for ghostly occurrences in their home if they practice witchcraft and black magic. That made me angry. I scratched out the words with a black stripy pen. I drew a broomstick there where I scratched out the words. A pentacle hangs from the broom staff. Never get angry, get even. 
Soar on your broomsticks!!

Haunted or not haunted?

Merry meet all,

I cleaned my broom closet this week. The closet desperately needed to be cleaned. I didn’t clean the closet floor in months. I thought I smelled something off, like a dead mouse. Turned out to not be the case. I removed everything- by that I mean, lots of cloth bags, the recycling bin, the 2 glass cloches, a lamp, tote bins, plastic boxes, a big heavy bookcase, a tall plastic stand with clear plastic drawers. I was quite tired after all that heavy lifting. I swept and mopped the floor then sorted through it all. I returned everything but the bookcase and the junk/ trash to the closet. Now I have more room and order. My Mom has the bookcase which I took to her apt today via cab. She also has the old laptop, keyboard, charger and mouse. My whole place is more organized and clean. I love it!! I emptied a tote bin of ancient belongings I don’t care about. 

I believed for a long time that my closet was haunted. But I spoke with a guy I know after showing him a photo of my closet. He believes there is nothing nefarious down there. He thinks the broom closet just has trapped energy that is hemmed in and can’t move. I hung a pentacle and gemstones in a pouch down there. I used salt and sage in the closet. My EMF meter would glow too. It lit. up. Then I was forced to debunk my theory about the EMF meter when I realized that it lit up because of the power box, not spooks being the cause. 

That said, a power box is not usually a reason for why I feel followed as I climb the steps up to the main floor. I show photos of my broom closet to mediums and psychics and they believe that there is something – a spirit, an earthbound ghost in the closet. Some people have gone far enough to tell me they think there is a demon down there. I don’t believe that. I am willing to believe there is a spirit but it is not demonic. Here’s why.

The energy is contained, hemmed in. A demon cannot be trapped. A demon will likely go anywhere it damn well pleases. The energy is contained and has been that way all the time I have lived there. If you think this through, it really makes no sense. Not all spirits or ghosts, forerunners etc are demons.  If you ever have a demon in your home, you would know it. They are like insects, they make themselves known. So I don’t believe it is a demon. My cat sits down there and she is calm. If you do have a demon,  your cat will hide under the bed and never come out, no matter how much you coax it. Animals are exceedingly attuned to energies and far more psychic than we are. So if she is calm, I am calm. 

Some nights I see the spirit always in that one spot, practically staring back at me. Other times, it is not there and everything feels calm. Some people are quick to conclude it must be a demon. They never take the time to think it through. I just watched a little part of Ghost Adventures. This woman claimed that her home was haunted by a nasty – ok nasty-demon. She had moved to stay with a relative. Bad move there. The entity was then free to do as it willed. It didn’t sense a threat. She also took people in who had serious mental problems and had severe addictions. What a dumb woman. I am talking heroin addicts. Again, bad move. I mean she was dumb. My mother took boarders in but she screened them and made them give her glowing references. No heroin addict is going to have a clear record or give a glowing reference. Then she wonders why she has such serious issues. There was no demon, she just had serious issues. My mother would never have taken in a heroin addict. I wonder what that woman was thinking. It’s clear she wasn’t thinking. I have seen  a shadow person in my home but I think that something more serious was going on there. 

I think they were wasting their time. But they are clearly as gullible as her. Most people want something to cry about. I can give an example here. These people for whatever reason- and don’t ever do this in your home- nailed ouija boards to the walls of the building. I would NEVER do that. Ever. This one tenant then claimed that a demon had infested itself to the building. However, when I entered to offer help to the guy, I did feel a nasty energy there. The very second I entered, I felt it. It hit me like a huge wave. So perhaps there was something in there. But I found his later claims hard to believe. I needed to see it to believe it. But then I am that way about everything. I am impatient and stubborn and not so gullible. 

That woman I mentioned above would just be fair game for a bad entity. I felt bad about how she found her husband lying dead. Ouch. Entities can prey on a person feeling vulnerable. She was operating on a much lower vibration. Entities can sense that. It is a beacon to them. Oh yes they do pick up on that. It is like the glow from the lighthouse for ships that have to make port. That shines very bright to them and it is irresistible. If something did haunt her to wreak havoc in her life, it found her signal. I would taste bad to an entity because I know how to shield myself. She still deserves a hug. 

I have studied psychic development and psychic shielding. I am a much harder target for a nasty entity to feed off of. I wish that woman had studied what I did and knew what I know. She would be much happier and if she used her brains, not let heroin addicts move in. I mean C’mon. That only leads to problems. I hope she works everything out in her life. Then her vibration will be higher. 

Witchcraft is shrouded in mystery. We were and are persecuted. It is not what people think. People only see what they want to see, not the facts. That woman in the show is a perfect example. She saw what she wanted to see: oh my god my home is overrun by demons. Well maybe. Lots of bad stuff was happening which would draw them to her. But if Witches are so bad, which isn’t true, then why are we the ones who know how to psychically shield ourselves from such negativity? Again, the endless and needless persecution. If people used their brains and learned how to shield themselves, they would be faring much better in life- but Ghost Adventures would be out of work,. People need to believe they are being attacked to get to appear on the notorious show. Heck, the ghost hunters don’t even shield themselves. They let themselves get affected. Oh it’s proof. It seems sadistic to me. 

But again, it comes back to the mystery. I believe- and this is just me, that everyone on earth is entitled to learn how to psychically shield themselves. Everyone. I wish it was more common knowledge. Then if there were nasty entities hanging around, the entities would find themselves faced with a challenge. Unfortunately, that is not the case. That’s sad. You don’t need to be a Witch to study psychic development. It would benefit people in many ways, some of which are mentioned in this post. I hope that more people do get the chance to study psychic development. It is a natural thing to do and it takes a bit of hard work, but the payoffs are amazing. It’s the difference between a friend handing you $5 or the lottery jackpot. Don’t you want the jackpot? I do. They would have to let go of their temptation to stigmatize psychic development and witchcraft. As if that would ever happen. 

I don’t believe that my broom closet is haunted by a demon. It could be haunted or it more likely is just trapped energy. I did sprinkle holy water in it which did help. It has not harmed me so it is not that nefarious. Until something nasty happens, and I may be waiting a long time for that, I will just chill. 

I am more qualified than most to conjure spirits. As I have demonstrated above, I am more practical and psychically trained. I have been trained in mediumship, psychic development and psychic shielding. I have done a lot of meditation work, trance work, visualization, etc. I would never nail an ouija board to my walls or use an ouija board in a warehouse at midnight for shits and giggles. I take it seriously. When you don’t respect it, that is when you have problems. 

Blessings, Spiderwitch
