She wanted to become a Wicca?

Question

She heard about Wicca from a friend of hers and wanted to try it. After reading a few books and stuff about it, she actually decided to become one and that's when it all started. She actually began to see spirits and now is getting scared because she keeps on seeing this black dark shadow behind her...I want to help but how? She did research and found that by praying to jesus that it can help to make the spirits go away and it did but when she moved from her home in California, she dreamt that a demon baby was being born and SOON! next thing you know, she begins to see this dark shadow behind her and it's making her scared...what can she do? she's already decided to quit wiccanism and has decided to go back and be a christian and yet she's still seeing the shadow...what can she do to make it stop and to help her from seeing that dark shadow of a black dark tall man/woman near her?

Answer 1

The problems your friend is having has nothing to do with Wicca. It has to do with her ability to see the supernatural. She probably has always had this ability and is now agitated by her guilt over experimenting with Wicca. These abilities are very hard to "get rid of" because they are naturally occuring. Its like trying to change the color of your eyes.



Wicca is not about the devil or evil spirits. It's about light and nature, love and acceptance. Anyone who says differently is trying to terrify you into joining their particular faith group. However, like calling on Jesus' name to banish spirits who are bothering you, Wiccans also have some tools for creating a "dead people free zone" around your living space.



Tell your friend to stop feeling guilty and recognize she is probably sensitive to psychic energy. Speak to the spirits and tell them to leave. Find a more experienced witch to help her with controlling the spirits who are trying to communicate with her. Unfortunately, once a spirit knows that you can see it, they can be pretty determined to communicate with you. People die under horrible circumstances sometimes and the best thing you can do for that poor, unfortunate, tortured soul is to help them move on to the afterlife.

Answer 2

My suggestion to her would be to:



1. Make sacred space by casting a circle or praying. This creates a safe barrier between her and harmful energies.

2. Ask the shadow directly what it wants to tell her.

3. Listen with her intuition to whatever the message is and then thank the shadow politely for it's lesson. She could ask God or Jesus to help her interpret the message if she's scared it's a demon or something (although Wiccans don't actually believe in demons - I just say that so she knows she has options).

4. Move on and put it out of her mind, unless it had something really helpful for her to think about.



Whatever the shadow is, it's probably just some part of herself or her life that she's not acknowledging. It's like a scary character in a dream. If she just can find the courage to face it and find out what it's deal is, she'll probably discover that it's not nearly the scary thing that she thought it was. It's her imagination's way of trying to get her to notice some area of herself that she's not looking at.



That said, sometimes people have experiences like this and they actually are psychologically troubled. That's usually not the case, but if this starts to get worse and worse, then I'd suggest she see a doctor. If that's what happens, it's not just her imagination or some kind of trickster guide, it's an illness. But, like I said, that's not likely what's going on here.

Answer 3

Wiccan's don't actually believe in Demons, so it's probably a soul that hasn't gone to 'Summerland' for some reason. I had the same problem but I found I had some measure of control over the presence being visual or not. It took a lot of effort at first but I eventually blocked it out and carried on. Your friend certaintly has the ability to see souls - perhaps one of her practices was to open her subconsious mind? that's usually the most basic ritual, and it's where my problem started. It probably isn't there to freak her out, just try to convince her it's just an affect of getting use to controlling the higher consiousness. If she asks it formally to leave and asks it not to scare her, it will probably go.

Answer 4

I don't know what boooks she was reading... but they weren't about Wicca.



Wicca is a religion... we honor the Higher Power that Created the Universe in the form of Father God and Mother Goddess.



We focus on living responsibly and finding balance.



It's not something you "do"... it is a faith that you live.



Wicca has absoultely nothing to do with contacting spirits or dark shadows or demons.



I have never even known a Wiccan who saw a demon... probably because we don't believe in them... and I've been Wiccan 20 years, and the people who trained me 20 years ago had been Wiccan for 30 years when I started my training. I have attended major festivals a couple times a year with hundreds of Wiccans gathering for holiday celebrations...



this kind of nonsense doesn't come up among us.



This is the simple case of "What-Christians-Believe-ABOUT-Wicca." Not what Wicca actually is.





My personal opinion 100% is that she is imagining things because she turned to poorly written occult sources for attention, grabbed hold of the word "Wicca" without knowing anything about it, and scared herself silly. But if she really wants to turn to a religion that believes in demons and that they can be conquered in their God's name, then why doesn't she just employ her God's help? She really should stay away from the horror movie version occult crap and just go on with the faith she believes in, and everything will go back to normal as she gets over it.





You can learn more about Wicca if you don't believe me at wicca.timerift.net... that is if you and your friend are mature enough to want to educate yourselves and responsible enough people that don't want to spread falsehoods.

Answer 5

The only way this would have happened, s if she was not following the actual law of wicca. Wiccans are pure and live in harmony with nature. Maybe she practiced 'dark' magick or wasn't being a true wiccan?

Answer 6

Find a lineaged coven, for begins. Gardenarian, Alexandrian... Unless you are going eclectic/solitary Wic. as a substitute than Traditional, although they've their secretive Oathbound mysteries and the Great Rite and the levels, and covenmates. Their kind turns out to official to me, tbh, and can perpetually stay the one actual Wiccans in my eyes--no longer like that concerns to any individual else, lmfao. Either means! Though when you pass looking for out a coven, watch out and all that. You by no means recognise if you are getting the Real Deal or a few freaks who will strain you into anything you do not desire to do; do your study, inquire and whatnot.

Answer 7

Not sure where whoever this person is got their ideas what Wicca involves - but amongst the other bits of mis-information stated here even the Grammar is woefully incorrect.



All I can suggest is that it's hard to take any person seriously if they have been involved in a Religion but cannot tell the difference between the faith and one following that path.

Answer 8

She needs to see a doctor. Its quite possible she is suffering from seizures, or is simply delusional.

Did she suffer from a blunt object blow to the face years before her episodes started? A strong blow around the eye socket in particular can cause brain damage leading to temporal lobe seizures.

Answer 9

yikes ok she needs to banish this dark spirit right away.



Get her to say these words... " You will not harm me anymore I banish you from my sight and my mind. From now on you will not follow me or harm me. I'm Giving you one chance to leave before I seriously get rid of you for all of eternity. Leave me alone and stop messing with me and my dreams. I am powerful and will Erae you from this universe if you continue. So mote it be." Burn a white candle and don't blow it out let it go out by itself. Put some quarts under her pillow to prevent these dreams. make sure she speaks from power and not from fear.
