Demons and Parapsychology

Merry meet all,

I’m so excited, because I am enrolled in the Demonology course at the CAPRI’s Parapsychological Education Center. “This course delves into the intriguing field of Demonology and Religious Parapsychology, offering a comprehensive understanding of demonic entities, exorcism practices and the relationship between religion and the paranormal.” Wow. Plenty to love about this course. I received a 10% discount because I bought a ticket to attend the Paranormal Symposium. With a course syllabus like that, it is easy to see why I would be interested … and a little scared. 

Demons? The fact that this course is being offered implies a little that they exist. I don’t want to think that they exist because demons are naturally evil. And I don’t believe that they exist. No one can say for sure. What I do know is that I will know more once I complete this course than I do now. I can’t wait but I have to wait till mid-October. I want to take the Parapsychology course as well. The Parapsychology course costs a little more but it is still affordable. I want to do both, hm, on top of my herbal studies and my writing, at least I won’t be suffering from boredom, far from it. 

I have to write a case study about one of the following paranormal cases: The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel, The Smurl haunting, the Enfield Poltergeist, or the Ammons Haunting. I would love to say these are all true cases but I can’t. I would love to say they may all have truth to them. It is hard for me to say. They all sound intriguing so I think I will have a hard time picking one out of those choices. I believe in the case of Anneliese Michel though. I read about that. That poor girl, she suffered from something. I am on the fence about the Ammons Haunting. I don’t believe the kid walked up the hospital wall because in the video, his mother or a relative is helping him up the wall. Now if he did it on his own and he looked way more creepy while he did it. I know there was lead and asbestos in the house which can lead to health complications and cause hallucinations. I am on the fence about the Enfield haunting and the Smurl haunting. It is so hard for me to say which is true and which is not. I have never been to those locations. 

On the other hand, I have had more than my own share of legitimate paranormal encounters/ experiences. I try not to judge too harshly. I keep an open mind. So I really do look forward to taking these courses. It helps a lot that my herb course is for 2 years. I can achieve a lot of other stuff in the interim. 

I am so happy that I found the Paranormal Phenomena Research & Investigation group. I feel better since I have been alone so long being a medium. It has come with challenges. I am up for meeting those challenges. I just don’t feel so alone now. It is a huge relief and they share my passions. It is a win-win! 

October is shaping up already to be a lot of fun! And right now, it is only mid-September. I would love to hear about your own paranormal or Samhain plans! Let me know in the comments below!

Blessings, Spiderwitch

Scams bam no thank you ma’am

Merry meet all,

November, in my opinion, is an extension of October’s magic. A bird just landed on the cedar tree branch outside my window. It is around 3:30 in the afternoon. The sky is still blue. It gets dark early here. It’s my birthday on the 27th. Instead of feeling excited, I am more like thinking that it used to be fun getting older. Now I am and I don’t even want to think about it. 

I’m sipping a hawthorn cordial. Lovely drink, really. This post is about scams. I recently fell victim to yet another scam. I really want to warn you all to be so careful. There are so many of them out there. The scams can be so unpleasant to deal with. At first they are so nice and everything seems so innocuous. You pay for a dress or a book online. Then the evil face of the scam reveals its true self. You never know till it hits you. 

I even get texts from the evil people running the scam they would offer me money. They try to copy and look just like a real email from Canada Post, Canada Revenue Agency, Royal Bank of Canada or Canadian Tire. The reality is those genuine organizations would never ask such things from you like your personal banking information and such. I once fell for the scam and had to renew my bank card. It was such a pain. 

The scam I had trouble is was when I bought a cape from Ubocae. They are the worst scam EVER. Run from them, don’t walk. I give someone money, I damn well expect to receive what I pay for. They had the nerve to send me a ring. A ring. I paid for a beautiful purple cape. Then it all began. They sent weird confusing emails. I had to push them into sending the tracking number. Then I got these emails like about when the item would be sent, and I could finally see two weeks later the item was sent. They told me some crap excuse that the ring was an early gift. Yeah sure and I am Mary Poppins. The item would be sent later if I was patient. They sent me a tracking number which was the tracking number for the ring. Then I pushed for a refund. Keep in mind we’re dealing with a company in Southeast Asia. It is no surprise I am having a hard time. They asked if I wanted a partial refund then asked me if I wanted a 70% refund. I said yes and then they sent me a few days later a second email asking me if I wanted a 70% refund. I think the emails are computer generated. That may be why there is the lack of positive communication. So no cape and no refund. I am never ordering from them again or ordering from anywhere outside North America again. I am researching the company up, down and all around first. 

I have new standards for ordering online now. The company has to one I am already familiar with and have had positive results in the past with. The company has to be genuine and honest. The company has to offer reviews of their products, offer a tracking number openly, and have a good transparency to them. I will only buy from within North America now. Total transparency. 

I encourage you all to exercise the same caution with your own online purchasing. It save you grief, not having to renew your bank cards, and time and your precious money. I really loved that purple cape. Instead I got a ring which I threw away. I couldn’t even sell it at a  pawn shop. I will never get my money back from that unreal company. I just never want to have anything to do with them again. I doubt I can get the real purple cape I paid for now. I am sure no other store sells it and I don’t know if I can trust an online company now. The company Ubocae also has bad reviews online as well. I am not surprised. 

The online stores that I still trust are Amazon (though not lately much), Killstar, Holy Clothing, and Chapters. I will continue to deal with them and that’s pretty much it. I hope you all never have a nasty experience like the one I had. I wish you all the best and please be careful. It is your time and money. Value it. 

Blessings, Spiderwitch

Our Paranormal Future

Merry meet all,

Do you feel it in the air? Do you smell it or taste it in the water? I do. I know many others do because they told me online. But try to feel it in the air. I am talking about this change, something heavy in the air. It is not always heavy but I think that it represents a change, not necessarily for the better. 

I sense a change in the air. It is transitioning to autumn, fall. Yes Samhain approaches. (Which means I need to get my shit together but that is another topic). I just feel like a darkness is coming over the world. I think it goes beyond the Goddess is pissed at us for disrespecting the earth on such a huge global scale. I think that that is part of it. I would be called crazy for talking about this stuff but I can post this here. 

Ok so… I believe we are going to see a lot of change in the near future. If you don’t believe me or in the paranormal, then go read up about Skinwalker Ranch. I do. I also believe that the paranormal has something to do with it – the aliens which I believe exists, and the spirits roaming the earth now also know about the change. Of course, they are just waiting around for us mortals to figure it all out. I not only believe that but I feel it. I imagine or understand it as a darkness growing over the world, like some people say the devil is having his way. 

I sense that if people are being good to the earth that they might survive. If someone or an organization has harmed the earth like the destruction of the amazon rainforests, deforestation, etc, then they are not going to be fortunate. The evil companies will drive us toward a mass destruction of our planet. I don’t even use pesticides in my garden. I did catch a Japanese beetle in a jar from my garden. I tossed the jar in the dumpster. But if I did use pesticides, that would throw off the balance in my garden. Balance can’t be touched or tasted or felt but it exists. I keep a balance in my garden. I grow nasturtiums which attract aphids. That draws the predatory insects to the aphids. I grow the nasturtiums because I know that some bugs want to eat the aphids such as ladybugs. I keep a balance. It keeps the insects out of my apartment and keeps them productive in the garden. I have a beautiful thriving garden.  I work with the energies and the land spirits that are already there. I also offer gemstones, coins, honey, milk to the spirits in the spring and fall. I give thanks to the spirits and the Goddess/ God for the beautiful garden I have. The gratitude I show ensures I can have a good harvest and that they will continue to help me. 

I think we should all hit the pause button and reflect deeply on not what the paranormal is about but why it is suddenly the hottest thing to hit social media. Why is it so huge right now? I believe that it has something to do with what I mentioned above. This is a good time to strengthen relationships with your chosen deity or gods that you follow. It is a good time to strengthen relationships with your mortal friends too. 

Aliens, UFOs, crop circles, cattle mutilations, poltergeist activity etc are so hugely popular now. I am on the fence about Bigfoot but I would believe in aliens way more than Bigfoot. I know that social media connects us globally. We can now have information at an unprecedented rate now and faster than ever before on earth. We all communicate globally within mere seconds or minutes. So this is why we all know so much about the paranormal and many other things of course. I am terrified about aliens. I don’t want to think that they exist. 

The greed, corruption, the huge demand of the earth’s resources, violence, crime, war (Ukraine, anyone?), and apathy sweeping over the planet now is not helping anything. It casts a dark shadow  over the earth. I don’t know what happened in Skinwalker Ranch that ignited all that activity occurring there but it is a great example of what I am talking about here. We have to remember that we are not in control of the earth like we want to believe. We need earth but she doesn’t need us. We can’t live anywhere else. I have zero intention of leaving earth and moving up the stars – where the aliens are watching over us. I serve the Goddess, she doesn’t serve me. I was meant to be here on earth. This is how it works for me. 

Not everyone believes in these things. But for those that do and that includes me! The paranormal is so hot right now. I feel that something is coming, and I also feel that whatever that is isn’t good at all. I mean if all this crazy stuff is happening, there has to be an explanation for it all and that explanation might make you uncomfortable. I am still feverishly curious. You have to admit this is all cool. 

I would love to see all your comments on what you think this is. It is ok to be a skeptic! It’s ok to believe. It is real cool when skeptics become believers. Be good to the earth, be good to your fellow man, and be good to yourselves!

I love this blog post and I have posted a link to it. It affirms what I believe. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbeckett/2016/06/the-otherworld-is-bleeding-through.html#disqus_thread

I enjoy this post as well: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbeckett/2016/11/the-veil-is-shredded.html#disqus_thread

Here is a cool link to a paranormal post about Skinwalker Ranch: https://youtu.be/cxjHba9OO0I

Whatever transpires for us in our weird paranormal future, let’s hope it is for the best of all mortals and animals -or amphibians out there. I do sense a darkness coming. It is good to remember from time to time that change is good and that as long as we maintain the balance of life,  we just may be fine. I hope I am wrong but I wouldn’t be shocked if I was right. 

Blessings, Spiderwitch
