He writes, “The driving force behind black magic is hunger for power … Carried to its furthest extremes, the black magician’s ambition is to wield supreme power over the entire universe, to make himself a god.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • High Level Psychic Attacks, Curses198 views0 answers0 votesCavendish writes, “An exceptionally gifted and powerful magician may be able to kill by the sheer force of concentrated hatred, especially if his victim is someone of unusual sensitivity.” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • High Level Psychic Attacks, Curses202 views0 answers0 votesCavendish writes, “Modern occultism brings in the notion of the astral corpse. When a man dies his body remains on earth, but in his ‘body of light’ – a replica of the earthly body made of finer and subtler material – he goes to the … astral plane. His soul eventually mounts to still higher planes, leaving the (astral body) as an astral corpse. Just as the earthly body retains enough innate life force to grow its nails and hair for a time after death, the astral corpse retains a faint spark of life. It has an intense desire to live again … and can be attracted back into the normal world either consciously by necromancy or sometimes unconsciously. It can then absorb enough life-energy from living creatures to prolong its shadowy existence almost indefinitely. Some occultists believe that Spiritualist seances really summon not ‘spirits’ but astral corpses.” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • High Level Psychic Attacks, Curses205 views0 answers0 votesCavendish writes, “Magic depends heavily on mimicry. … When a magician musters the full power of his will and acts in a certain way, he believes that he causes the forces of the universe outside him to act in the same way. This is an extension of the rule ‘as below, so above.’ As the magician behaves ‘below’ so will the forces of the universe behave ‘above.'” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • High Level Psychic Attacks, Curses161 views0 answers0 votesIn a recent show on superstitions, Creator said, “The widespread practice of putting salt at locations, at the borders around a location, as in the four corners of a room of a home to create a kind of sanctuary, might be self-reassuring as a ritual but that is only a self-soothing gesture and not a significant deterrent in any way to spirits and what they can do.” Creator’s use of the word “significant” is noted because that implies that salt might have some properties that are at least disagreeable to dark spirits? Cavendish writes, “All devils are supposed to detest (salt) and no salt should be used in ceremonies designed to attract them. Salt is anti-demonic because it is a preservative. Demons are creatures which corrupt and destroy. Anything that has preservative qualities (including spices) is contrary to their nature, and disagreeable to them.” So while perhaps not a hard deterrent, do dark spirits find salt and spices to be “disagreeable to them?” What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • High Level Psychic Attacks, Curses197 views0 answers0 votesCavendish writes about the law of return, “The law of return is the principle that the force of a spell which fails, rebounds on the head of the sorcerer.” What of a dark spell that succeeds? Why do black magicians believe that successful harmful spells avoid the law of return?

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, Curses225 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, Curses248 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, Curses213 views0 answers0 votes
