Re: Marked soul again from 3/4/07
That is cool. In your working, you gave everyone the "benefit of the doubt", and protected yourself. The other night, I saw a movie called, _Inhabited_, where a little girl had a Hobbit House in her back yard. At first, the faeries who appeared to her were friendly. But, after a while, they got hungry and cruel. Then, she had to refer to them as her "used to be friends". Sometimes, people in our lives become harmful, toxic, or vampiric not because they set out to be that way, but because they just bit off more than they could chew in the way of contact with hungry spirits. Then, as they become unglued, they turn on their friends. It is so hard not to take this personally, but it seems that it is "the nature of the beast". People who get into secret teachings that are over their heads often plunge into a sort of schizophrenia that ultimately manifests as insane jealousy. In a way, it is not consciously their fault. They just fell in with a bad invisible crowd. That is why it is so important for good witches to encourage protective, impartial spirits of an elevated nature to hang around. Their strength and wisdom rubs off on us the way bitter energies pollute the perspective of a too-selfish witch. And, this is a good reason to study magick, because mundane people, not knowing what goes on in the invisible world, become prey to unclean spirits. If you can handle the truth, it is better to be informed.
