An' ye harm none, do what ye will... 1.Ok I am ... ahh!
I was reading through a post labeled "last night..." in this guild about a guy putting up the ice barrier- ok well half way through it my eyes unfocused and i heard a buzzing noise as if saying "no no no"
And i automatically started crying and i felt like i was sad and depressed, i still am please help!~!!
2.I am anxious and all tense almost completely Paranoid! I am looking over my shoulder, i think i drew a Dark spirit or something,
I keep feeling a whooshing breeze feeling at my legs!
HELP!
Ok well i found out the problem.
And Leavaros, I know plenty about spirit, I have been studying Wicca since December of '06.
My room acts like a cacoon.
Well my windows are completely protected and have plenty of little protection spells upon them, but one of them has more than the other.
The one my head sleeps next to is more charmed.
The other one is kinda lack on the protection, but i fixed that by enhancing my blinds and curtains to works as spiritual walls.
Well I just remembered that i had opened a part of the curtain and left it all open and exposed, allowing spirits to come in and out.
Well of course I must have been an obvious target as such, and i was latched onto.
Also, i have a stepmother who is literally so bad she attacks my family spiritually and in real life.
We have protection, and my step mom has even attacked my father's relatives in Florida!
She can change her spirit to look like something else, but you can really feel it when it is her.
I think she may have taken the one opportunity open to attack me.
Well I got her to go away after a while.
~Blessed Be~ Edit by mod: Please do not double post. That is against our guild rules. If you do not know what our rules are, here is a link to our guidebook, please, read it. http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=7351083
Also, do not create threads with titles such as "Help", etc, instead use a title that will give viewers an idea of what the post contains. Also, Mod, I understand i was freaking out when i did it, it was a panic mode that led to me forgetting to care about doulbe posting rules, which were in the back of my head anyway, and I am sorry to be such a trouble.

If you really think there's a dark spirit around, I'd suggest smudging the place, cleansing it with holy water, that sort of thing. But, what could you have possibly done to stir up a dark spirit?

Really, if you are going to practice magic, you should study the communion with spirits, and seek to make ties with benevolent ones so things like this don't happen.
I have Mama, the Spirit Oak, and a certain predatory Spirit-Teacher, similar to a wolf or a cat, but who looks to me not as prey, but as Cub, or Kit. Both are guardian spirits who seek to defend me. (It also helps that I'm naturally strong.)
If you draw power and allies to you, you won't look so...appetizing. Spirits don't like dealing with people who know what they're doing. Failing that, you could learn about spirits and their realm, or stick closely to people who know.
Unfortunately, this isn't always enough. Sometimes you have to stand up and assert your authority over your own body, and your own mind. Spirits, like people, can respect that.
Not that I advise that for this case--you clearly don't know what you're doing (which is in no way a mark against you, and no offense intended), and I doubt that you have enough power to stand against a malevolent spirit, and you didn't mention anything about a protective spirit.
Maybe Lady S has a word for you? When I had trouble with Wolf-Cat, she gave me a potent spell that certainly would have done the job, had things not resolved themselves.
Love and Vale,
-LD

As I recall, I gave Leavaros a spell for exorcism that involved smudging and chanting. (This is correct, LD? Forgive my memory for being that of a sieve.) I would be happy to send it to you, if you so wish it.
In the meantime, there is a great deal to be said for surrounding yourself with items and energies that are fortifying to you; personal tokens like a childhood safety blanket and magical amulets hold extraordinary power. I know the latter sounds odd, but it's true: the things that we, as children, imbue with personal power continue to protect and give us strength. And if nothing else, make up your mind not to be a victim and you will not be.

I think it did, yes. I could scavenge for the thread, if you wish.
I'm not sure about the final line though--simple making up your mind not to be a victim won't stop someone from victimizing you. It's an important first step, to be sure, but I think that knowledge and power are more powerful deterrents than a state of mind.
Love and Vale,

Choir-Angel If you really think there's a dark spirit around, I'd suggest smudging the place, cleansing it with holy water, that sort of thing. But, what could you have possibly done to stir up a dark spirit? An' ye harm none, do what ye will... I did not really stir up a dark spirit, that was a false title by the moderator. I left my sacred space open a little bit and my evil stepmother attacked me.
LadySorcha As I recall, I gave Leavaros a spell for exorcism that involved smudging and chanting. (This is correct, LD? Forgive my memory for being that of a sieve.) I would be happy to send it to you, if you so wish it.
Thanks for the offer, but no thanks. I took care of the problem already.
~Blessed Be~ Edit by mod: I assure you, there was a good reason why the title was changed, because of the "WHOA HELP ME PLEASE". We had a big thing about this not too long ago. We don't want threads titled like that, if we still allowed that, then just about every thread would be titled like that. Besides that, people are more likely to read a thread if the subject talks about what the thread is about. Putting "help me" isn't going to get people read it or respond quicker. It was changed to whatever seemed to be the subject of this thread. And you did in fact say "i think i drew a Dark spirit". So do not say that it was a false title by a mod, because that was in fact what you were originally talking about. Besides that, don't blame the title on what people post in response to your thread. I've never known anyone to simply read the title and then post thinking they know what the thread is about. I can pretty much guarantee you that whoever posts in this thread has read your original post and that is where they're getting their information from.

Elusive M I was about to say. Spirits, heh, especially dark ones just leave normal kids alone, they've gpt no use for them anyways. xD A very astute observation. I agree. Quote: I'm not sure about the final line though--simple making up your mind not to be a victim won't stop someone from victimizing you. It's an important first step, to be sure, but I think that knowledge and power are more powerful deterrents than a state of mind. Well, on that point, my dear friend, we must agree to disagree. In my opinion, personal power has everything to do with power of will. Quote: And Leavaros, I know plenty about spirit, I have been studying Wicca since December of '06. No offense, but that's less than a year. There's no need to be so defensive, because no one was attacking you or your ability. As Leavaros said, it seemed obvious that you were a little at a loss and that you could benefit from the experiences of others. After all, that's why you posted a question, is it not? Some of us here have been studying and practicing for upwards of ten, and we all know that the most dangerous thing you can do is assume that you are above the help or tutelage of others. There is always something to learn and if you don't accept that and seek it out, the Universe will convene to slap you in the face with it. Don't assume that just because you figured it out this time and met no harm that the next spirit encounter will go the same way.

To Lady Sorcha:
Yes, milady. Of course, I guess I'm the idealist--I like to gather power, knowledge, and strength of will. After all, why must one be pitted against the others? It was wrong of me to suggest.
And to Wraith:
You would do well--and take this from someone who learned the hard way--not to pass up the knowledge and experience of others. As for myself, I have been in very close contact with spirits since I was very young. This might have something to do with the circumstances of my birth, or by my very nature, or even the environment around me. I was lucky to have communed with positive spirits, and making allies from a very young age. It was almost as if the spirits knew me before I knew them. I guess our contact was simple instinct at first, but grew into powerful bonds over time.
This is my final piece of advice to you--focus your studies in the Spiritual Realm. Make allies. Gain power as you gain knowledge. Develop that strength of will that can turn the outcome of battles. Become close to people who know more about spirits than you do. If your stepmother challenges you again, simply salt your room, put white crystals at the bottom vertexes of your room (the corners), influence the natural energies of the room into a positive, protective cocoon (the word you used to describe it), and this woman will have a much more difficult time getting in.
That's all.
Love and Vale,
-LD

Actually I do not know why i posted, i was at lost because It was against all basic logic that i could be attacked in my sacred space. My place that is protected. so i panicked and turned to, of course, the best source i have,
you guys! ^ ^
I am sorry for being defensive, I just felt offended a tab because i took great care to read and learn from others and when i was told i needed to learn about spirits it blew my cap

And I too have experienced Spirits good and bad since i was 5. i thank you for your advice and i will keep it in mind.

Is she your patron--well, matron--goddess as well? Perhaps then I could see why you might feel protected by her. However, I cannot stress enough the importance of having spiritual allies as well as divine ones.

well, if she's that bad, then why not tell your dad about her and confront her about all that? maybe tell her to stop or GTFO?

If your step mother is that bad and you feel that you need that much protection around your room then you have some serious problems. I would suggust the obvious, making sure that she can't come after you useing mundane means (the cops). To protect yourself spirtually I might try some sort of binding spell.
When I moved almost three years ago I feared bad things following me and my family. I blessed a pincone to represent my family and burred it. All of the bad energy would get sucked there and grounded safely away from my new home. (Kind of like the Witch's Bottle which I think Silver RavenWolf wrote about). Another option would be to make a sort of astral reflective spell around the house to send back all unwanted energy. Bless the house too, regularly such as during the full moon.
Force of Will is THE most important part of magic. If you think something is attacking you right now go cleanse yourself and then simply not let it contiune to hurt you. Focus your will to keep it away. That should be enough to keep you safe.

Personally, I think you should smudge the place.
