    The Dark One

    This post is meant to give an illustration of the perspective I shared in my blog entry titled Pure Evil???

    This is something that happend to me, personally.

    I sometimes use a pendulum to speak to my spirit guides. When I read the pendulum, I suspend it over a pie chart which has the letters of the alphabet and numbers 1-9, around it’s perimeter. For me, the pendulum swings side to side to indicate “yes” and counter clockwise circles to indicate “no”. To spell for me it swings to each letter and I repeat that letter out loud. If I am right about each letter the pendulum swings side to side to indicate that I’m correct. If I get off track it corrects me by swinging counter clockwise.

    This is a very sensitive tool…. one that I don’t use very often and that I approach with much reverence because it has the ability to open doors to undesireable energies. This story will illustrate that point, as well.

    The evening in question was a very still, swealtering hot night, in mid August. I was sitting directly in front of my bedroom window in my second story bedroom. I had a low coffee table that sat just below the window sill and I would sit cross legged, on a pillow, in front of the table facing the window. I sat down and picked up the pendulum and just started asking questions…I just forgot to do my usual protection routine….This was early on…I was just learning how to use the pendulum and this turned out to be a very valuable lesson.

    Suddenly a huge gust of chilling wind came through my window. Shivers went down my spine and my hair stood on end. The pendulum started turning wild circles and switching direction all over the place. The temp in the room dropped drastically. I wanted to drop the pendulum and run but I couldn’t. I sat there and watched while it started spelling. It said “You Fucking Bitch!” I asked “Who is this?” She answered “Shiloh”. That’s when I dropped the pendulum and jumped up to grab my sage.

    The strange thing about this is that Shiloh is still alive and well. She is a Native American Shaman and a Druid High Priestess. She was someone I had once thought of as a friend….. until I aroused jealousy in her. I was seeing a man that she decided she wanted so she turned her dark magik on me. That whole deal is a very long depressing story that I have put in the past, so I won’t go there. After this night things between Shiloh and I were resolved so there is no sense in re-hashing it.

    After smudging, I went back to the pendulum. This time I did it right and, once I knew it was safe, I asked my guides if they could assist me in having a chat with Shiloh’s spirit.

    They said yes, so I started with the questions. At that time I didn’t know why she had turned on me, so that was the first question. Then they told me that part of Shiloh cares very deeply for me but that she has another side that takes her over when she drinks… which she did a lot. I asked why she drank the way she did…what is she running or hiding from? They answered by telling me that she drinks to kill the pain from her rotten teeth. I don’t want to go into any more of the details but the conversation went on for quite a while and I was given a lot of private info about Shiloh, that I would later need as confirmation. When all was said and done I was able to find compassion and forgiveness for her.

    She wasn’t aware that her spirit had visited me but I did confront her with it through a friend. A few months after it happened I ran into her best friend and we got a chance to talk. I told her friend what had happened and of the things I had been told. She took these things to Shiloh and came back with an affirmation that everything I was told was truth. Shiloh did say to her friend that she had noticed a softening of her negative feelings toward me, around the time that I had that visit from her.

    This experience illustrated to me that we have real power to change people’s attitudes, simply by reaching out to them, on a spiritual level. Even without being conscious of it our souls can converse and settle differences… give and receive forgiveness…

    I have never again forgotten to call in protection.

  • Great story, well written. Judi

  • I had to pause a moment to find a way to express how I handle that issue of “warding” or protection.  I don’t address my questions to the pendulum.  I address them to… my “Guardians” is, I suppose, the best word.  I don’t have a word of address, just a …direction or orientation, inwardly. 

    BTW, the Old Fart lost his pendulum in the clutter, probably with the help of a cat or two, and at a loss for a handy oracle picked up the Magic 8 Ball he had picked out of the dumpster.  He uses it all the time now, did a whole thread of 8 Ball readings on totse.  Works great.
