The Gathering or “Purchasing” of Graveyard Dirt” and types of same Graveyard Dirt Part 3~~~

Dear Ms. Q,


First you need to understand that graveyards are surrounded by a “barrier” be it a chain link fence, a stone wall, a wooden picket fence, concrete, iron fencing or just a high raise long hump of dirt, but no matter what it is a barrier, in modern times it is to define the boundaries of a graveyard or cemetery and in many area’s especially historical cemeteries it is to prevent vandalism.

But just as it is to keep vandals out, it is also to keep wandering spirits or ghosts in and most graveyards will have some piece of iron at all four corners of the area to create a spiritual barrier, especially for those spirits or ghosts of evil intent. Really serious ones will have the entire graveyard surrounded by iron fencing. But most of the time the fencing will be of other material but with an iron topping at each extreme outlaying corner of the property.

In another post I will talk about using iron, usually old railroad spikes, to help anchor down your property or apartment to keep negative energy out.

How one pays for graveyard dirt varies from practioner to practioner and also from spirit to spirit, but the principle is always the same. The dirt must always be bought. The reasoning behind this is this; there is a huge difference between capturing a person / spirit and offering to pay for the person's / spirit's services (which is an honest transaction of employment).

Enslaving a spirit to your will is unlawful enslavement, both in the real world and in the spiritual world, to enslave a spirit whether it’s some one you know or someone whose energy is useful to you, harms your intention of the magikal working. The spirit will resent it because it is being forced.

Even Shakespeare in his play “The Tempest” had two spiritual servants, Ariel and Caliban. Ariel was induced to work for Prospero through protection and rewards, while Caliban was forced to do Prospero’s bidding through threats and pain. Ariel loved his master while Caliban resented him. So even in 1610, when this play was written, Shakespeare knew the old adage “You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”

Such is the same with the spirits that you have contacted through the use of graveyard dirt.

But if you “Purchase” the spirits services through the use of a ritual payment that is different and even if you go to the intended grave the spirit may say no, so you will need to go to a different grave and put your “business proposition” to that spirit.

The only way to learn what that spirit will or will not do for you is to approach the intended grave, state your proposal, and listen (that is meditate to spiritually hear the answer) to what you are told. So you have to get in touch with the spirit (whether an ancestor, close family member, pet, or a spirit who served or died in the condition that you need) and make a respectful application and payment.

You will learn more and do more effective spiritual work if you do not think of what you plan as "capturing" graveyard dirt and spirit, but think of it by the old Hoodoo term, "buying" graveyard dirt. Because when you contact the correct spirit from the right grave they can tell you more effectively how to conduct your spell work.

But before even going to the cemetery and buying the dirt there are numerous details that you have to consider before going. This is your preparation time.

First you have to consider what type of spell you need to do and if it requires the use of this ingredient, lots of times it’s mostly a protection spell either for a loved one or friend or for self and or property.

In that case you need to decide what spirit or grave you need to go to, to enlist their services (buy), then depending upon the type of grave you need to have the correct payment ready, be it coins, rum or whiskey and flowers. You also need to determine where on the grave you should (after you obtain permission) to dig from,

So first you need to determine whose grave, the kind of death they died, where the grave is located with respect to the cemetery gates, whether you dig from the head, the heart, or the feet, in some cases all three, whether you leave dimes or pennies or whiskey or a combination, and how you place the payment with respect to the grave.

Unless the spirit of a grave mentally reaches out to you first – which can happen you may have to use your mental divining rod, that is allow your spiritual energies to reach out and seek the right grave.

TYPE OF GRAVE---

The type of grave or the person’s personality is important, so once you’ve decided the type of magikal working, then you can decide after careful consideration the type of grave to approach.

Please remember lots of times I consider a approaching a grave just as if I were entering a business or conducting business with a physical being as oppose to a spirit one. But the intent is there.

Let’s start with dirt from a Baby’s Grave ---

There are a number of magikal workings that use this type of dirt---for example~~~
A Baby’s grave is good for peace in your home, or to have people get along in your home that live with you.

It can also be good for keeping the law away and there is an old time spell that can be use. I will post these spells later in another post

If there is a person you like and you want them to notice you be it man or woman you can use it.

It can be used to get a job, and there is a formula and spell for that as well.

Also if you have a baby of your own and it has terrifying dreams or cries in a terrifying manner you can use this dirt to help the baby to rest, by putting it in a non-metal jar in the room.  It is believed that a negative spirit is surrounding the frightened baby and the bright spirit light caused by this dirt will chase away such negative energies.

Also it can be used to make someone move out of the area.

THE DIRT FROM A BABY THAT NEVER CRIED

Usually this means a still born baby, for some reason using this dirt is suppose to make your hens lay eggs if they don’t, good for Urban farmers I guess, I think the formula that is done with it is to help keep the chickens calm to lay their eggs.  I have been told also that the dirt from this type of grave is also used in magikal workings concerning being able to enter a place without being seen or making noise.  There is more on this but I have to research it further.

But what I'm concerned about is that it means if the baby was still born, it also means that the spirit never at any point truely entered the body before birth.   That is one of the things about souls, they ususally don't enter the body completely until the last few hours before birth when they enter the body of the baby is when the contractions begin,  now that is not to say that they don't go in and out of the body from time to time while the body is in Utreo but ususally the spirit/soul of the child is hanging around the mother/parents in general to see if this family is going to be a good fit and also if it will fufill the Karmic life path of the new soul.   Because the fetus growing inside a woman's body is in essence "a parasite" until it can live independently outside the body,  some spiritualist and theologists have also said that the soul doesn't truely enter the body until the baby takes it's first independent breath, that is why for ages it has been important to hear the baby cry upon birth.  

A Catholic’s Grave

If you get dirt from this type of grave (man or woman) from the breast or heart area this is used to help who ever has left you return to you, this can be a family member of any age or someone you seriously care about

(I need to tell you something about this,  I was asked to help find a family member who had left unexpectedly after an arguement and was gone for more than a year, the family wanted to find this person, so I did a ritual using this type of dirt, but the vision I received told me that it was not going to be good news, so I told the family of what I had seen, well two weeks later the body of this family member was found in a shallow grave.  they had been murdered but made to look like they had just left, even a suitcase with some clothes were buried with the body,  the person who did this crime was arrested and brought to trial.  So sometimes it can have a sad conclusion, be prepared for that.)
A Murderer’s Grave

Use this to drive someone far, far away from you or for hexing, cursing

An Unjustly Executed Person’s Grave~~

This is the type of grave that you have to be sure this person was executed only to discover that they did not commit the crime, use this persons grave to bring about justice if you feel you have been victimized.

Dirt from a Child’s grave or a 12 year old Child

There are two types of uses for this type of dirt to get people to leave either out of your home (like an eviction or a person who is a “sponge”) or a person you dislike in the neighborhood, I think a 13 year old or young teen would be better because they almost always are rebelling or threatening to run away from home because they don’t like parental authority.

A Gambler’s Grave/Abuser’s Grave

The old timers usually referred to a Gambler’s grave because they’d be drinking and taking their woman’s money for gambling but in the 21st century terms I’d say a person who is an abuser, this type of dirt would be used in workings dealing with driving a couple apart or causing confusion. Making them stop loving each other, but be careful this can cause a fight so bad that they could seriously harm each other.

A Good Person’s Grave

Excellent for peace in your home and in your work place

An Atheists Grave or someone who doesn’t believe in God

There is a magical working using this to cause disruption in a person’s home, to breakup a couple or disrupts a person’s place of business

A Religious Person’s Grave

This is different from a Good Person’s Grave it’s more for Hex breaking, because a religious person always prays to God for assistance. If you feel a negative working is being done to you, making you feel unwell, causing you to lose work, or disruption in the home this dirt will help in a magical working to break that Hex. Lots of times it is someone of your family that always seem to have a direct connection to God, so this is good for Hex breaking and protection especially if taken from the heart area.

A Sinner’s Grave—

Much like an abusers grave except you can use it to have unwanted people leave your home to never return, or if you are fed up with your marriage or your boy/girl friend and you want to breakup but you want to win the divorce or breakup, that is to come out good in your favor, then you use a magical working with this dirt. A Sinner is not necessarily an abuser but some one who sins and never repents.

Grave of your Nearest Relation

This one is used for protection or to keep the law away, or to protect you from someone who seeks to do you harm, take it from the head and pay this relation a goodly amount of money 50 cents a dollar and bury it right where you take the dirt. Then you can use it in your magical working.

A Sunken Grave

If a man leaves his wife or girl friend and she wants him back she is to get dirt from a grave that has sunken (very old, the coffin may have collapsed) at the head, but she better be sure she wants him back.

A Woman’s Grave

There is a magical working where dirt from the head of a woman’s grave will help a man bring back a woman who has left him.

Dirt from a Soldier’s Grave

A soldier is obedient and strong and loyal and this dirt can be used in protection and hex breaking as well as domination or to gain courage (as in an amulet or mojo bag)

Police officer’s Grave~~

This is used for protection and they are suppose to “Protect and Serve”, usually from the grave of an officer who died in the line of duty is best---this is a very powerful type of dirt and you do have to give serious payment

Fireman’s Grave---

Also a protection but mostly for the home

Doctor, Nurse---

For ritual involving healing or getting well

Lawyer/Judge---

To help with a court case or legal action

A Family member who truly loved you~~~

For love and protection

Dirt from a Native American Cemetery

Be careful it has to be from a Cemetery not a sacred burial area from the old timers. This type of dirt is good for protection and to contact your Native American Spirit guide

Each one of these types of Graves has a specific purpose, with a little thought I’m sure you can think of a few more purposes for the uses of dirt from a specific person’s grave.

Now I have not given to you Ms. Q, the times or areas to collect these different dirt’s or types of payments, I will include that in another post and then further on I will give you formula’s for the workings with these types of graveyard dirt.

But one thing you have to do is to know and learn about the various individuals, what they did what they were like, usually in obituaries especially if the person was liked or had done positive things, with that information you can make plans to visit that person’s grave to see if they’d be willing to work with you. Going through old micro film records of news papers and reading the Obit can help.

It does mean you have to know your community pretty well, and I do recommend that you never go alone, especially if the cemetery is not in a good part of town.

Now it is not unusual to go to very old cemeteries such as a boot hill if you live in the west to find a grave of an old time law man or outlaw, even old historical graves can be helpful.

But go respectfully, only take a small amount and remember you have to pay for it and do not desecrate a grave.

Blessings Ms. Q

What you will need as a Magikal Practitioner

Dear Ms. Q,

As I said earlier, the information on gathering Graveyard Dirt is long and needs time to put together in a sort of organized understanding of things.

But there is one thing I do recommend, it matters not where you live, if its a house or apartment or even one room in shared accommodations.   What you will need is a cupboard or cabinet to hold all your magickal tools and ingredients, it can be a book case or an amouir or portable closet, but it really should have doors on it that you can lock to keep the curious out of it.

You will need herbs and resins, waters (yes that's waters plural), dirt (there is more than one kind), candles and proper holders, incense, stones and crystals, silver and copper coins some should be new and never circulated others can be old and worn in coin collectors terms called "sliders",  bottles and non metal containers to hold things,your magical tools,  church style charcoal blocks (not bar-b-que briquettes), divination tools, and things that can help you focus your intent.

In time you will discover what you need as you become more proficient in your workings.

Most practitioners have several books on magikal workings at least a half dozen, one is the uses of each type of herb, stone, resin, flower, oil, inks and water, the color correspondences, the types of moon phases, and the planets and hours and days of the week to do magickal workings,  the second book is how to make each item or formula's,  the third book is your book of spells what the spell is how it is done what is needed for the spell, times to do the spell,  the fourth book is for dreams and visions, the fifth book is for divination either by cards, pendulum, candle flame, toss the bones or shells or what ever means of divination you use, the sixth book is your own personal journal, it should be daily to note any changes or what you may sense, or signs or encounters or revelations,  this one can be a small note book that can be kept in a purse or pocket, backpack or brief case  later once a month you can transfer this to a larger book and subdivide it to either understanding the energies around you, quick understandings of protocol or etiquette, revelations of magikal workings or procedures---all of this becomes your Grimoir, because it is not just one book.

Then there is a final book, this is of rituals and prayers and includes the seasons of the year, what you will need, how to put the circle together and dismissing it, how to address your guardians or angels, some people call them the watch towers   This is done for Sabbaths and esabbats during the full and new moon, the equinoxes and solstices,  but also for the secular holidays as well of your country.

Ritual is always important just as routine and meditation is important, just as being a productive and concerned citizen is important.  Awareness of your surroundings is important as well, we make the mistake of cutting ourselves off using our cell phones, Ipod or Ipad, blue tooth and other electronic devices which short circuits our 6th sense, not a good thing to have happen in this day and age.  We look down at our texting when instead we should stop texting completely and instead use our eyes and ears to look around us and our envioroment or surroundings, by doing that we become alert to danger to ourselves and anyone else.

I never text when I'm walking, I never use my cell phone especially never in my car, I wait until I'm in an area where I sense I'm safe and I am not moving then I'll call or text.  But I tell people to call me on my land line and leave a message on my answering machine, if I have your e-mail address then I'll either call you back or e-mail you, but I always make sure I am not cut off from the energies around me and too many young people are doing that, so they lose contact with the spiritual aspect of their lives and in some cases may lose their lives.

Another aspect of being psychic or a magikal practitioner is that sometimes modern technology sometimes fails us----frequently.   I like working on the computer, but it has a tendency to stop working, nothing is wrong with it because it's my energy, so I have my husband clear it up.

That is why any technology built or created after World War II sometimes will not be compatible with me.  Which is hard because I really like my washer and dryer, but if I stick to basics, like my washer is basic no extra whistles and bells it works,  my dryer is also basic so it's easier to repair, everything is basic.

Touch tone phones that are wireless drive me nuts  so much static, our car is pretty much basic no gps, no satellite radio.  But if it's anything that resembles WWII technology even early 1950's I'm fine.

Fortunately going to the Doctors or Dentist office is not a problem, I dampen down my energy because I'm in the office or medical building of a healer.  That seems to be different.

But these cell phone towers, and heavy duty high power lines, can mess my energies up.  That is why many serious practitioners will live is a more rural area, or if they have to live in the city have a lot of plants and herbs growing even in pots in their apartment.

So as you become more proficient in your magikal workings you will find that happening to you as well and living a simple, some what routine life will be working for you.

I have not forgotten about the other subject, but be patient.

Blessings to you Ms. Q

Graveyard Dirt part 2~~~

O.K. Ms. Q,

Now that you know that Graveyard Dirt is suppose to be from a graveyard or cemetery, what is its uses, you ask.

Well first I have to warn you do not Tamper with graveyard dirt if you are in any way inexperienced when it comes to casting your own spells.  I mean if you are a novice or just starting out, then do not attempt to do any magikal workings with this stuff. 

Graveyard dirt is a very, correction it is a most powerful substance.  It is from a place of  death and you are working with the dead and yet depending upon its use it creates life. But in order to retrieve it you must ask the dead for permission, as well as pay for it.

That's right Ms. Q, you have to pay for it and I am serious about payment,  my Daddy, My Mom and especially my Granny use to say "Ya don't get something for nothing, you've got to pays for it, and if it looks too good to be true, then it's most likely a lie".   My Daddy use to put it more simply "Gas, Grass or Ass, nobody, but nobody rides for free."

Payment usually involves either a choice or a combination of things most of the time its liquor and/or coins being left at the sight of where you collected the dirt. Of course an offering of flowers is always good as well especially if you are using it for love or protection, and that is in addition to the "Payment" for the use of the dirt.

Old time Hoodoo practitioners referred to it as buying the dirt, and so it was important to use either silver coins like dimes or copper pennies, depending upon whom you are getting the dirt from and for what purpose.  In gathering dirt from a police officers or lawman's grave the payment of 3 copper pennies was usual, it's like sympathetic magic "copper" aka cop or police officer in slang so copper pennies and 3 because of the law of return, now in my Granny's day it wasn't called that, it really didn't have a name, but my granny said that if you hurt someone or did them hurt be prepared to have it come back on you 3 times worse,  that would make you stop and think on things a bit.

And in my case become a bit more devious.

The dirt can be used for 3 things they are for Protection, Love and Cursing your Enemies. 

The last one can be very dangerous because it involves in the making of Goofer Dust and I'll cover that in another post.

So most of the time people want spells for love and protection....

There are many spells for Love, too many to list, but most of the time when you want it really potent the pinch of graveyard dirt is involved with other items this is a simple spell here

Thing you will need: green paper, vandal root, and dirt from a graveyard. You will write your name and the persons name on the paper, put the vandal root and graveyard dirt in the center of the paper, wrap it up and leave it under your bed.

But for this to be successful you have to keep in mind the day of the week, time of day, and moon phase for both the gathering of the dirt and the timing of the ritual. Also from what grave will you collect this from is also important, and where you gather it, some people say gather it from the heart area of the grave and it should be from the grave of someone who loved you.  Which can be hard if you live on the West Coast and your Mee-Maa (grandmother or someone who loved you) is buried on the east coast.

Now I was told by one old timer that if that should happen use the grave of a beloved pet, if you know where they are buried.

But there is one thing that my Granny told me, to force someone to love you can be bad for your soul and your Karmic and the other person's Karmic destiny, and do more harm than good----and she's right, I've seen people who wanted someone to love them but it always ended  in disaster, in the case of one love struck girl she was "in love" with this one guy and she did a love spell using graveyard dirt and he did appear to fall in love with her but he turned out to be a control freak and an abuser, she gotten beaten so bad by him that she was hospitalized.

I went to see her and she told me what she had done,  I tell you I had to plead with my Granny to break that spell off of him and then do a spell on him so he'd be arrested for what he'd done.   Took a year to do it.

She was afraid to do a love spell again after that, but she needed to be loved to have her faith in people in general restored,  so I told her to do that spell that I just listed but instead of putting a name of someone, to put down, "some kind man who will be honest, loving, supportive and caring and will understand that sometimes I need my space too.  That this person be trustworthy, hardworking and a loving and kind person to any children we might have".   

Well 2 weeks later she met this guy, he was nice looking but she was cautious, so they would meet for coffee and chat, go to a movie, even some plays performed at a community theatre, some music concerts,  they met each other's friends and family, discover their likes and dislikes.   It was a long slow process but she liked him and he liked her and in time they married, and are still married today with children and are expecting their first grandchild.

She still does spell work, what she calls "Candle Time"  and he understands, even built for her in the rear of their property a small workplace for her workings. He became enthusiastic about growing herbs and vegetables but especially herbs.   But she was very, very, VERY careful after her first "love spell".

Right after Love Spells---Spells of Protection is very important.

The use of graveyard dirt in protection spells may specify that the dirt come from the grave of a family member or a friend, but if it's from the grave of a friend they had better be a really good friend.
Because what you are doing in these cases is asking the spirit of that person to protect you or your home and/or family member.

Now this is not unusual because this type of "Hoodoo" work is based on  ancient African beliefs and practices, in which ancestor veneration is a key component of how one relates to the spiritual world. Again this is dirt collected from the heart area, but sometimes people will collect dirt from the grave of a solider because they are loyal and will follow commands.

So one's you've collected the dirt and paid for it then you can use it.

Then you will light a 7 African powers 7 day candle have it anointed in protection oil. Keep the candle in a bowl with the dirt inside.  It is best to use a white bowl and also a glass enclosed candle to lessen the threat of fire.  Now if you have a safe place to burn it such as inside a fireplace or a high shelf away from children and Cats and birds and not near any window curtains or flammable stuff that should be fine,  also put what is called earthquake wax underneath the candle to prevent it from tipping over in case of an earthquake.

I am not going to go into the Hexing or Cursing use of  Graveyard dirt.

What I will cover in the next part is how to collect the dirt, when and where and what procedures to use and payment to give.  That is going to be long and will take me a little time to put together so be patient.

Blessings Ms. Q

Magikal workings and graveyard dirt Intro

Dear Ms. Q,

I cannot believe that I have been away from this blog for over a year!  But so much has come up and so many things to do.

My life has changed a great deal this last 14 months, and I think this blog is going to take a slightly different turn.

I will be dealing with spiritual matters but also matters about witchcraft and hoodoo, as well as psychic phenomena. 

And to anyone who is new to this blog I recommend that you start from the beginning, from my very first post. 

As some who is a psychic and also a witch as well as an old fashion Catholic things can take a very strange twist and bizarre turns.   So I feel I need to get back to my basic roots.  Now the things that I have talked about before still holds true, and it is from a spiritual/psychic viewpoint.

But now since we are just past the winter solstice things and the world is in chaotic conflict it is important to get back to one's roots, especially in dealing with magical/magikal workings.  Now I am not Wicca, frankly that is airey-fairey fluff bunny stuff, no I am Witch, I am neither white, black or even grey.  I do have to work with ethical standards, but trust me I will harm none unless those none's harm me and mine, then it's all bets are off time.

In dealing with the energies that surround you or you want to have work for you, you do need supplies.  Now interestingly I've had people ask me for one of the basic ingredients in Magikal workings-----Graveyard Dirt.

For a simple item there is a lot that surrounds it, it's like cooking, you use either milk, buttermilk, sour cream or rich cream or condensed milk, the same can be said for a lot of one's magikal ingredients.

So this is an introduction to the first one---Graveyard Dirt.

First let me make this perfectly clear  Graveyard Dirt is not a code word for Mullein, that is something that came about in the 1980's with those who work Wicca.

Real graveyard dirt comes from a graveyard or cemetery, but people don't want to be accused of desecrating a grave,  well when I go to the Cemetery to visit my deceased relatives, I see people working with their little hand shovel's the kind to plant bulbs in the ground, what's not to say that some of them are doing magikal workings...so if you take flowers and leave it as an offering on the grave or graves that you are collecting the dirt from (along with some other things as payment) it doesn't look like desecration,  and sometimes you don't need much just a small handful and maybe not even that much.

And there are different types of graveyard dirt that you'll need depending upon the magikal working,  from a solider, a police officer, a child, a loved one, a person who was murdered,  etc., etc. and each has their own purpose.

And you will need bottles to hold the dirt in until needed, make sure to be able to label them as well.  It's not good to mix them up.

In my next post, now that I've cleared it up that graveyard dirt is really what it is in magical workings, I will tell you what you need, and how to gather it.

Blessings Ms. Q

Update~~~~

Well Ms. Q,

I can't belive I've been away from this blog for nearly 4 months. Time flys by when one is busy.

October is here, and everyone is looking forward to celebrating Halloween. So am I.

I've been getting questions mostly about ghosts, spirits and hauntings.

So I think that my future postings will be about hauntings and such and how do they come about and types of hauntings and protection.

Unless someone distracts me with a question on a different paranormal subject.

Stay tuned.

Blessings,

Ms. A.

Ghost Hunting and Seances~~~

Recently I had the pleasure of joining a friend of mine in a Ghost Hunt at a well-known historical location.

Because this was also a special fund raiser for the place, it was limited to just a certain number of people who were also curious about Ghost Hunting. They were then broken up into smaller groups who were rotated around the different locations of the place.

The beauty of how my friend put this together was to take the 'fear' out of ghost hunting and also show that for a personal hobby one did not need to have a lot of fancy equipment to start out, as are usually shown on these ghost hunting programs or at ghost hunting conventions.

By doing this it made the whole event fun, pleasurable and for all produced wonderful results.

Part of the event was to be in a seance in one area, in doing so I also informed each group that one does not get any "Hollywood spectacular events" it's usually more subtle.

Ordinarily I do not conduct 3 short seances in one evening, but it seemed to work out just fine and I wasn't over exhausted thanks to my guides and the positive thinking people I was with.

Each short seance produced different events, and questions were answered, with everyone coming away with a positive outlook.

Now do I recommend doing short seances, ordinarily no. But when I do readings it is possible to have someone come in from the spirit side to give a message or to at least let the questioner known that they are well. And for me when I do a reading I can keep the spirit from overshadowing me.

But in a seance, the energies are built up to such an extent that overshadowing can become possible.

Part of the problem in doing this was that I had to open the circle but not break it, because we were trying to contact a specific group of spirits that are attached to the location. There for the build up was greater as oppose to readings.

In doing a reading I break the circle after each reading but keep the white light of protection going in the area until I'm done, this way those spirits that are meeting the individual questioners also go as well.

But in this situation it was not the case. So the "battery" remained charged to stay in contact with that specific group of spirits.

For any amateurs I really do not recommend doing a seance and certainly not with a Ouija Board, the reason is that unless one has a trained or developed psychic sensitive leading the gathering you really don't know what or who will appear, and one must always be able to create a circle of protection and disperse those who gather.

Working with a Ouija Board is not for "fun and games" especially among children or teenagers, one never knows who is a latent medium or sensitive and you never know what will happen. Most of the time they do not create the protections or in the case of teens maybe doing underage drinking. That is not good and can be spiritually dangerous.

Of course one can warn and warn and caution until one is "blue in the face" they are not going to pay attention, because of this sense of "I'm immortal---nothing is going to happen" and then ---it does. And by then it's too late.

With that in mind, in one of my next essays I will post "How to conduct a seance" only because I know that eventually someone is going to try it---and if so you may as well do it correctly.

But getting back to the Fund Raising event---everyone left with a positive frame of mind, the "bug ga-boos" of ghost hunting was reduced to "you can do it with this simple equipment" , it was fun and it raised money to help preserve a historic place.

By going in with a positive frame of mind to do good, the outcome was wonderful.

And that is how it always should be.

I've now set up my blog so that anyone can post a question to me and I will answer, because of my schedule it might take a little time but I will respond.

Thank you for your inquiries and never stop trying to understand the unseen.

I've been away

Hello Ms. Q,

I know I've been away, busy, busy, busy. But I hope to post more information for you soon.

I haven't forgotten the "seasons of the Year" so I'll be updating that.

Blessings,

Ms. A
