Never, ever, ever tell people you know alot about the dark arts. I am now swamped with IMs, emails, forum posts, and the like begging me to tell them what this dream means, or what this flash was, or this shadow. I mean, if you're a friend, I will always try to help you with any problem you have, but damn it I'm sick and tired of total strangers popping up and throwing all of this crap on meh. Here is one of the more interesting conversations, which I had with a former friend. Babbles about afterlifes, shadows, a little about guardian forces...blah blah blah.
-aol screen name-: hey
silveryshadowz: Hello... -snickers-
-aol screen name-: astral projection
silveryshadowz: -blinks-
-aol screen name-: you believe in that stuff if I remember coreectly that was what my post were in -insert forum here-
silveryshadowz: Yes, I do believe in astral projection...it is just a strange topic of conversation.
-aol screen name-: why is that
silveryshadowz: It simply does not pop up often.
-aol screen name-: oh well I am a weirdo
-aol screen name-: you ever heard of a shadow
-aol screen name-: like as in an astral race
silveryshadowz: A shadow being.? Of course.
-aol screen name-: you ever seen one
silveryshadowz: Shadows are frequent visitors to this reality...all one needs to do is look.
-aol screen name-: really what exactley are they I see them every now and then
-aol screen name-: another q
-aol screen name-: are you pagan
silveryshadowz: I am somewhat pagan...
-aol screen name-: somewhat
-aol screen name-: wiccan
silveryshadowz: And shadows are merely the physical manifestation of beings who happen to exist in another realm.
silveryshadowz: Somewhat...I believe in many things...
-aol screen name-: so do I
-aol screen name-: anothr realm
-aol screen name-: like another plane
silveryshadowz: Yes, another shade of reality.
-aol screen name-: so there not really there
-aol screen name-: like the seam isn't too thck
silveryshadowz: No, they are there, they simply are not there in the normal sense.
-aol screen name-: I think the one I see is different it's the same one and he followes me
-aol screen name-: first I thought he was a dmeon than a guardian now I know he is an astral being and now I have set him at bay
silveryshadowz: Are you sure you are not confusing a shadow with another type of being.?
-aol screen name-: don't really know
-aol screen name-: it was a shadowy figure
-aol screen name-: like a guy in a trench coat
-aol screen name-: but all shadow
silveryshadowz: You could be confusing an afterlife with a shadow.
silveryshadowz: From your description, I would say it was an afterlife.
-aol screen name-: but why would an after life be following me
-aol screen name-: I don't know an one that has died
-aol screen name-: I seen another thing too
-aol screen name-: when I was nine
-aol screen name-: it was like a black blanket with two eyes
-aol screen name-: any ideas
-aol screen name-: I though it was an air elemental
silveryshadowz: Afterlifes are strange...they sometimes choose one being to follow. You should be flattered.
-aol screen name-: cool
silveryshadowz: Wait wait wait, you saw a black blanket with two eyes.?
-aol screen name-: I think
-aol screen name-: yes the first time
-aol screen name-: when I was a kid
silveryshadowz: What color eyes.?
-aol screen name-: white
-aol screen name-: I don't think the two are the same
-aol screen name-: yeah if it was red I would've thought a wraith
silveryshadowz: No. The second description is another type of afterlife.
silveryshadowz: And if it was red, you would have been lucky if it was a wraith.
-aol screen name-: what do you think it is
-aol screen name-: was
-aol screen name-: I have never seen it again
silveryshadowz: White eyes are a good thing, you probably saw the physical manifestation of your guardian force. As a child, we tend to be more open and willing to see gaudian forces. You probably needed to see it for some reason.
-aol screen name-: new home first night in a new state
-aol screen name-: father was a witch
-aol screen name-: he did bad magick
silveryshadowz: There's your answer. You needed comfort, and/or protection at the time.
-aol screen name-: yeah but I didn't know he was like that till I was 13
-aol screen name-: new state didn't bother me too much
-aol screen name-: I was afraid there was going to be nothing but desert
silveryshadowz: Did you have a hard move.?
-aol screen name-: I was releved tgo see green ness everywhere
-aol screen name-: nope and to mention it that was the last place I live moved away for five years but now I am back this is my hme I was a millitary brat moved around alot
silveryshadowz: Then you probably needed protection.
-aol screen name-: so the other thing is just an afterlife
-aol screen name-: maybe the two are connected
silveryshadowz: When do you see the afterlife.?
-aol screen name-: I was a kid the first time the other times I ws a teenager and already into magick
-aol screen name-: umm first time walking down the street with my brother it actually was whistling at me my brother heard it but never seen it
-aol screen name-: every other time just everynow and then
-aol screen name-: last time was at a party when I was alone
-aol screen name-: first night I was back
-aol screen name-: usually when I get paranoid
-aol screen name-: my girlfreind seen another entity one night at my house
silveryshadowz: Then it might be your guardian force, though I doubt it. Unless you feel comforted by the sight, it will not be your guardian force. One usually knows the presence of a guardian, especially if you deal with the craft.
-aol screen name-: a white shadowy figure standing at the bas of my bed
-aol screen name-: true
-aol screen name-: yeah I have been scared of everything though for a long time
-aol screen name-: didn't even practice till a year ago thought everyone would call me crazy
-aol screen name-: but I've changed I am no longer afraid of anything
silveryshadowz: Alright, you're throwing too much at me. Which do you want me to analyze...the afterlife, or the white figure.?
-aol screen name-: I think the white figure was an after life
-aol screen name-: I think the shadow is an astral being
-aol screen name-: I just wanted an intelects mind point of view
-aol screen name-: i was told that love was the key to keeping the astral being at bay and since I have met my gf I haven't seen it or had anything happen
silveryshadowz: The white figure could have been an afterlife, or it could have been your girlfriend's guardian. The shadow most likely is an afterlife. And the blanket was most likely your guardian.
-aol screen name-: I think an afterlife she preactices too and she is well aware of her guardians
-aol screen name-: they be much bigger and scrier
-aol screen name-: scarier
silveryshadowz: Love is a powerful emotion...not to be taken lightly. It can hold off any form of other, though it can also attract them. The risks are higher when a being practices the craft. I would tread lightly.
-aol screen name-: I know
silveryshadowz: -nod-
-aol screen name-: thing that confuses me though is if it is a guardian I also took control of everything and that miight be why it has gone too
-aol screen name-: I went through a big change latly
silveryshadowz: Possibly...though gardians are always there, they only show themselves when they need to.
-aol screen name-: met a group and actually get to practice in rituals and be open
-aol screen name-: true
-aol screen name-: well what a lovly conversation
-aol screen name-: I gots to go for now
-aol screen name-: I will tlak to you later if thats cool
silveryshadowz: That it was... -slight laugh- Tread lightly mon amie.
-aol screen name-: don't worry bout me I may be a little confused but who in this world isn't I am prepared to deal with whatever is sent my way and if not I have friends that can
-aol screen name-: later
silveryshadowz: Latah.
-aol screen name-: :-D
