Similar phrases abound in multiple languages, suggesting that the desire not to upset a spiteful universe is very common.” What can Creator tell us about “knocking on wood?”ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs244 views0 answers0 votes“Cross your fingers.” Pappas writes: “Those wishing for luck will often cross one finger over another, a gesture that’s said to date back to early Christianity. The story goes that two people used to cross index fingers when making a wish, a symbol of support from a friend to the person making the wish. (Anything associated with the shape of the Christian cross was thought to be good luck.) The tradition gradually became something people could do on their own.” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs206 views0 answers0 votes“Throwing salt over your shoulder.” Salt is thought to create a spiritual barrier that evil spirits cannot cross, or find difficult to cross. Many magicians and sorcerers use it to create “magic circles” with the thought that if they stay inside, they will be protected from the very demons they conjure. What can Creator tell us about the spiritual properties of salt, if any?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs263 views0 answers0 votes“Don’t step on a crack!” This is from artsandculture.google.com, an article entitled 18 Superstitions from Around the World: “As with mirrors, cracks—in the earth, on a sidewalk, or almost anywhere—have long been seen as portals to the realm of the supernatural, for both good and ill. To step on those cracks might be to invite or release unwelcome spirits into the world ready to do one harm.” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs206 views0 answers0 votesSuperstitions may seem silly and innocuous at first glance, but some people worry about them a great deal. Some to the point of having genuine panic attacks if they discover they violated one. How does someone get in this state? Does subconscious mind control contribute?

Does the fact these countries have been war-torn and decidedly less free have anything to do with this? A woman who came here from Ukraine twenty years ago, won’t use leftovers “because it’s pig food” even though she no longer has a pig, so leftovers end up in the garbage. She worries about knives left out because they foment discord when unsheathed. And anything used she purchases she leaves outside for “cleansing,” regardless of whether rain is in the forecast or not. As a result, more garbage is created when it inevitably rains. Yet there is simply no talking her out of any of these worries or practices.

Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer and the Lightworker Healing Protocol will do more to protect you and your loved ones than slavish adherence to timeworn superstitions, even and especially if there is something to them?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Limiting Beliefs295 views0 answers0 votesLong wrote, “In Huna we learn that we attract evil spirits to us only in and to the degree of our own evil.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Higher Self247 views0 answers0 votesMany of today’s questions are inspired by the book Witchcraft in Illinois by Historian Michael Kleen. The history of witchcraft in Illinois is scattered and sparse. But what remains, especially a massive folk compilation of just one county, suggests that even as recently as a century ago, folk knowledge of witchcraft was common, also suggesting that the practice of witchcraft was once common as well. Kleen wrote, “Convinced of American progress, historians dismissed witchcraft as a ‘miserable superstition’ and an ‘imaginary crime’ long vanished from educated minds.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • High Level Psychic Attacks, Curses227 views0 answers0 votesWe learned recently from Creator that Reptilians taught sorcery to early Native Americans. One of the feared powers of witches was the supposed power to “shapeshift” and take on the form of an animal. A great many folk tales recount incidents of witches taking on the form of a black cat, for instance, to stalk the witch’s victims. Were some of these incidents genuine, but involving shapeshifting Reptilians taking on the persona of a witch in order to spread fear and disbelief?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • High Level Psychic Attacks, Curses250 views0 answers0 votesOne of the recurring themes in witchcraft lore is the notion of witches “selling their soul to the devil” in exchange for their magical powers. And while Creator has taught that such a thing cannot happen in actuality, the belief in the validity of this pact can turn this fiction into experiential fact, in that the divine is constrained to honor the belief and choices of such practitioners, leaving them unprotected, and open playthings for the interlopers to have their way with. Not to mention the severe karmic ramifications for the harm inflicted on the self and others as a consequence. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • High Level Psychic Attacks, Curses200 views0 answers0 votesKleen noted that religion, although according to history being widely practiced, was actually rarely used to combat fear and victimization by witchcraft. Rather, what was popular was “fighting fire with fire,” in that those fancying themselves and loved ones and neighbors and associates as victims of witchcraft would fight back, essentially, with witchcraft of their own, by hiring or engaging witch doctors or witch masters who would combat the witch for them—for a fee of course. Others fearing being “bewitched” would resort to folk defenses such as shooting silver bullets at effigies of suspected witches. Since such remedies leave out the divine, the likelihood of massive karmic missteps for all involved seems obvious.

One particularly interesting belief was the notion that witches could steal a cow’s milk with the use of a towel. The story goes that the witch would hang a towel on a rack, kneed and squeeze a corner of the towel as if it was a teat, and draw milk out of the towel and into a waiting bucket as if it was the cow itself. This was suspected when farmers would suddenly and unexpectedly have “dry cows.” Is there ANY truth to these stories? What is the real backstory?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • High Level Psychic Attacks, Curses214 views0 answers0 votesOne of the more startling Illinois stories surrounding bewitching is that of the Williams sisters. Sixteen and eighteen years old, the two girls were reportedly normal by day, but in the evening would run off into the corn and then “returned to their home, and with almost supernatural ability, climbed to the roof and began dancing near its precarious edge. Their father, James Williams, in front of around fifty spectators, pleaded with his daughters to come down. They replied with animal-like shrieks and groans.” Even the New York Times picked up this 1871 story. The sisters claimed to have been bewitched by an old woman who lived nearby in retribution for refusing to become witches themselves.

But in the 1800s it was a huge problem. Abraham Lincoln’s own mother died of it at a young age. Turns out, the problem comes from cows ingesting a particular weed, the “snakeroot plant.” The plant is toxic to humans, but apparently not to numerous herbivore animals. The toxin gets into the milk and can inflict humans with serious illness and even death. Before the cause of this danger was finally discovered, milk sickness was often attributed to witchcraft. Could this plant be from the same beings who introduced witchcraft itself? Is the plant itself an extraterrestrial import? If so, who brought it, and roughly when? Are new problematic species of animals and plants still being imported today, or very recently if not currently? And if they have stopped, why?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • High Level Psychic Attacks, Curses223 views0 answers0 votes
