Happy Halloween!!! Muahahahahhhhh!

Here is a tale of intrigue for you...

I recieved a call one evening from the most beloved of all people... a telemarketer. Now, the number that showed up for this particular telemarketer was "0000000000", no shit! Anyways, it actually turned out to be an automated survey poll. After listening for about 20 seconds, I decided I didn't want to listen to them so I hung up in the middle of the automated rant. This particular call was taken over my cordless phone; however, as I was lying on my bed, I decided to make a call to a friend of mine using the landline phone in my bedroom. As I went to pick up the reciever to make my call, I noticed something a bit disturbing... the display panel always shows the last number called on this particular phone, but the number that showed up was not "oooooooooo", but rather the number "666". The interesting part is that number only showed up on my landline phone and not my cordless.

Now, I'm still not sure what to make of this little incident, but it definitely struck a bit of fear in the very depths of my soul. To tell you the truth, I'm quite positive that if I were still a Christian, I wouldn't be getting any sleep over this and if I did, it would be with the lights on! But, since I am no longer a Christian, I find it quite amusing (only after I got over the initial fear of course, lol).

I am, however, a very spiritual witch and I feel that a message was being sent to me from the great beyond to inform me of an impending death. By that, I mean, the impending death of my beloved feline companion. He was very sick at the time of this call and happened to be in the bedroom as well. The spirits could have sent me any number, like 333 or 777, but they sent me 666 because they knew I would associate that number to something bad. Of course, I don't beleive in 666, but I do beleive it represented more than what it was meant to be taken as.

If you have any thought on this particular story, please feel free to leave me a comment and have a happy halloween, or happy samhain, whichever you prefer. Blessed be.

Do you have nightmares? Do they seem so scary they wake you? And when you wake from these nightmares, are they so scary that you leave the light on to go back to sleep? I have found myself doing just this, and I am the type person that loves to be scared! If you've read my previous blogs, you will know that I study the occult and I believe in dark spiritual entities.. I know they exist all around us, above us, below us and even within us. They can affect our lives without us even knowing it. These dark entities feed off of our grief, our anger, our sorrow, our pain, and any negativity that we may feel inside or even harness inside. When I was a Christian, I dreamt of demonic possession, where I was the one being possessed. I recall levitating off the floor, or off a table and floating, and I would call to my savior to release me from the demonic hold I felt I couldn't break free from on my own. I felt paralyzed and extremely frightened that there was no escape from this demonic grasp. It seemed so real that I would find myself fighting even harder to break free. When I couldn't fight anymore, I would finally wake up, sometimes crying because of the reality of it, and then I would be unable to go back to sleep for awhile.

The demonic nightmares I had as a Christian, still haunt me now even though I am in the training process of being a witch. Rather than being possessed in my dreams, I find myself battling against demonic entities with the powers of witchcraft behind me. But, these are only dreams and if the day ever comes that I have to battle demons for real, you'll be the first to know how it goes!

I was just having lunch with a few coworkers today when one of them recalled an incident that had happened to her on the way in from work...

The weather as of late has not been to kind to us up here in Saskatchewan Canada, with blowing winds, swirling snow, and wind chills of 5o degrees below zero centigrade. While driving in from out of town, she had her highbeams on, illluminating the entire road ahead her; when out of nowhere, she spotted this dog sitting in the middle of the road. She depressed the brake, slowed down so as to not hit the dog, looked back to ensure the vehicle behind her was slowing down and when she looked out in front of her once more, the dog had disappeared. As she drove by the spot where she saw the dog, she noticed that it did not leave any indication that it was even there, as there were no dog tracks to support her belief that it was even there to begin with.

Apparently, she has a gift. Not one that sees dead animals, but you never know, psychics are known to reach types of levels with their abilities. Her gift is one that centers around pregnancy and knowing if a woman is pregnant even before the woman knows herself. She told a couple of stories to back up her claim, but I will leave it for you to decide if this is true or not.

As you know, I am fascinated by the unexplainable. I am intrigued by events that have been catagorized as paranormal or supernatural. As well, I am a horror movie buff... the scarier the movie the better. I remember watching horror movies, all alone without any lights on, ever since I was 8 or 9 years old, maybe even younger. Watching what is supposedly reality horror tales on A&E, such as A Haunting or Paranormal State, keeps the interest alive.

Reading horror novels is another interest of mine, which also includes real horror stories from around the world. The only problem is, I have never had any personal experiences with the supernatural that is worthy of oohs and ahhs. The best I can give you is having items go crashing to the floor without any cause, or some electronic malfunctions such as my television going off on its own. Of course, one would immediately constitute that as someone using their remote control from another house to explain that event. Therefore, it becomes unworthy of mention.

I also dabble in the occult. What I believe in is a spiritual reality beyond our own. We can create a connection with the spiritual realm through many forms of practice, including the Ouji Board. Do you believe? Or are you skeptical?

I read tarot cards to close friends and family. I once detected a dark entity following around a cousin of mine through this form of divination. My cousin knew this was happening to him, but the only other person he confided this information to was his sister. He had asked me numerous times if his sister confided this information to me, but I insisted that she did not. Needless to say, he was fairly freaked out at my ability to see into his dark hidden reality.
