So did anyone see the eclipse we had recently ? I missed it, much to my annoyance it has done nothing but rain here for days and that morning it was clouded over and I couldn't see anything. Today I got drenched walking to the store,and walking into the store looking like a drowned cat is seriously not my thing!! I have not done any spell work or anything recently, I really haven't felt up to it, my energy just feels low and I also have ridiculous amounts of other errands to keep track of and I get something done and still have 20 other things to finish, so can we say frazzled?! I am also stressing about the lack of spare finances at the moment, every half a penny I have is going to bills that I almost can't pay and nothing else and I feel very strapped. Goddess and God could bless me with some full time work and I would be very grateful right now!
Anyways, onto witchy matters, Samhain is coming and the veil is thinning, how many of us have had increased instances of enhanced sensitive awareness via dreams, scrying, divinatory practices, and spiritual or "paranormal" activity? Here we have had some lightning storms and that is known to stir up energy that spirits, ghosts, and other entities can use to manifest their presence into the living side of the veil. Myself being a Highly Sensitive Person, I have noticed a strong change in the spiritual atmosphere here at home and other places I have been, I always get that scalp tingling sensation and all of my internal sensors perk up when I know something or someone is roaming around. As we approach Samhain, the veil is going to become wide open and we will see, feel, and experience all types of things that go bump in the dark! One of my personal Samhain observances is that I make a point to set up my scrying and divination tools, set up a small altar made specifically to honor and invite spirits into my space, a ritual offering is usually set up on a side table and somewhere in the room I set up a voice recorder. This is the best night in all the world to do paranormal investigating!! I am a huge fan of the "Ghost Hunters" show. Conducting my own experiences with the paranormal is a side hobby of mine and every year on Halloween I do some kind of ritual work and do a bit of paranormal investigating. To date I have not actually captured any voices on the recorder but I have heard noises and other forms of contact and have had the experience of strong awareness of spirits in my immediate space, I have been touched and I have seen a few things that were definitely not my imagination! Woe is me I do not own a good video recorder yet!! You're about to find out why I need one in a minute....
However this year is going to be different, I am taking my son out with some friends to a few neighborhoods for candy and a bit of fun, and I am going to leave the ritual table and scrying tools set up and the sound recorder running while I am gone until I get home, I am very curious to see if anything happens while I am gone for a few hours. I might strategically set up one of my phones to act as a video recorder to see if that will get me anything. Why am I doing this you ask? Well I have had this issue going on with my son who is 12, as of May 2014, he has abandoned his bedroom entirely claiming up and down with vehement unwavering conviction that there is someone or something in his bedroom at night while he is trying to sleep, and according to him, only person can see or hear it is him. Trying to get him to conquer his near paralyzing anxiety and fear of sleeping in his own bed again is near impossible, and all attempts of mine to get him to sleep in there results in screaming, crying, and complete emotional meltdowns from him and I have tried everything I know to get him over it. I have tried blessing and cleansing the room twice, cleaning every surface ceiling to floor, rearranging the furniture, and everything I can think of, he still refuses point blank to sleep in there.
I hesitate to involve any other outside sources of help at the moment, firstly my "family" is of no help or support, the first thing I was accused of was "conjuring something" in my house and I got this evil eyed glare and finger pointing so the guilt and blame was centered on me as if I somehow have something to do with it, this really did not help considering my son was listening to the whole conversation I was having with them at the time and of course he was then inclined to believe them over me, and looking at me with doubt, suspicion and skepticism that anything that I was going to do and the fact I am a witch was not going to help him and yes that really hurt my feelings. Oh sure try and destroy and belittle my own child's faith in me to protect him. Let me say now for the record that I really and truly despise and detest Baptists and all forms of so called high and mighty "Christian" faith, or at least those that want to sit there and slander, berate and demonize their own family and make problems ten times worse than what it should be. There are probably great people that are of Christian faith but to this day I have not met one at least where I live anyways. The "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" mentality is alive and well here. I really don't want the local clergy of any kind involved and there isn't many people I know that shares my of spiritual practice or beliefs that I can ask right this minute to help me out. Now the only thing I know to do is set up the recorders and other things, and start investigating a bit to see what, if anything, is really going on. I am reserving a final judgment and opinion on the whole matter until I see or experience proof with my own 6 senses that what my child is possibly experiencing is really and truly bona fide there and not just a wild conjuration of a overactive imagination and somehow he has scared himself silly. I can actually say for a 100% fact that hat he is experiencing is truth or not yet, so I am maintaining a bit of healthy practical common sense and grounded realistic views of this right now.
The supposed person, entity, ghost, spirit, or what or whomever is bothering him, apparently stands next to his bed, breathes audibly, shuffles around the room, moves the bedcovers, and lurks in the doorway. I personally feel and sense nothing in the room when I go in there either during the day or nighttime for anything. However my poor kid is utterly convinced there is something in there that is going to get him if he so much as goes near his bed at night. He claims if I enter the room "it" leaves, and when I leave the room it comes back in, there has yet to be a form or shape described of what this thing or person may be, just the overwhelming sense that there is something there with him and it seriously unnerves him and terrifies him to the point of where he will sit hunkered in the floor and bawl his eyes out at the idea of having to sleep in there. We did not ever have this problem up until May 2014. He started coming into my room crying and very upset claiming that something was in there, this isn't something he has ever done while we have lived here. The only other time he has done something like this was when he was two years old and we had just moved into a new house and he had horrible screaming nightmares that he couldn't describe because he couldn't talk well then and eventually it subsided and disappeared. But for the 3 1/2 years we have lived here in our apartment he has slept in his bed, gone to bed on time and slept through the night, no problems whatsoever up until May. I am not yet sure if he has had a very upsetting nightmare, or something has actually happened in there to scare the wits out of him and he refuses to confront this or have any self power over it himself to help himself conquer his problem, I realize his refusal to face down his fear is not helping and is only exaggerating the issue and he is refusing to listen to me about anything to do with it, he would rather sit there and allow it to be what it is, block it out, ignore it, and just not sleep in his bed at all, and I have to say this is frustrating for me both as a spiritual practitioner and as a parent. Anyone that may know of ways to help me out with this or can refer me to someone that has more experience with this I would gladly appreciate hearing about it, I am open to any and all suggestions that I haven't yet tried. Goodnight everyone and Bright Blessings!
