Hello everyone! I have always believed and had a pull to the craft. Then when I passed the fifth time, the deceased started coming to me in voice and physical form. Most have been friendly, but I also know that the door is open now and that I need to protect myself. They sometimes come to speak to me in dreams and also come to me during the day if I happen to be where they are choosing to stay. I knew some, but I also know that the more I know that the better off I will be. I am a person with a good heart and only want to do good. I have had enough bad with illness and bad relatives. They bring on their own bad. I have nothing to do with them. I only want to help those around me. Life is always more than you can see. Nature has always been my best friend.
Welcome, @shannon3 and Merry Meet! Iām Feathertip, from SE Michigan. Iām a lifelong Pagan and I love to work with Nature, and stay close to all her critters.
Youāve come to the right place! This is a very welcoming and kind group. Look around, settle in - and donāt hesitate to ask questions about anything.
Iām getting a Ghost Whisperer vibe. Maybe you have the gift of sight with the deceased. Welcome to our group and have a hearty and long look around. Lady Gene
Hi, @shannon3! Iām Amethyst from Southern West Virginia. Welcome to the forum!
Iām trying to figure out how far away we are. Southern West Virginia and Southwest Virginia gets confused all the time with people for me. Iām up here in Fayette County, WV. Hi, neighbor!
I donāt have much advice on protection for you. I am mostly what I call head blind. I donāt pick up much, sadly. But there are several books on Amazon for Psychic Protection that might help you, and Iām sure someone here can give you some tips!
Anyhow, itās nice to meet you! I hope to get to know you better!
I will Feathertip. Thank you for the warm welcome.
My papaw knew when I was young that I had a talent to speak with our critters. I was able to calm them when he needed it. I was his shadow. Nature and animals were my family growing up and still are. I plan to study and learn more. All the while I will keep Nature close to my heart and my animals next to me.
I wasnāt able to see or hear them until I passed the fifth time. I donāt think deathās door shut when I came back that time. But when I was a kid on the home property, there was a small cemetery on the river. I used to talk to the teenage girl that was buried there back in the 1800ās. I always felt close to her and never understood why. I didnāt ever hear from her then but I never felt alone when speaking with her. This is why I believe that things happen for a reason. I may have already had the gift, but I needed events to happen for it to come forth. Life is funny that way, but after deep thought, it all makes sense.
I love visiting graveyards, always have. I have āseenā and come across many spirits. I have one who follows me, a prankster, whom I have named Steven. Heās been with me since I was about 14 or so. (Iām now 61, so quite a while) Have fun!!! Lady Gene
I probably am not that far from you. I am in Wise, VA. I grew up near the tip of VA in Jonesville. I know that there is a way towards W. VA by way of Grundy if I am thinking right.
Protection will come to me the more I study and read. I have already set up 4 vials with protective stones and herbs in the 4 corners of the home. I did this a year ago. Emotions, bad events, and trouble seemed to calm down. I just want to know more for myself and for friends that live in homes that have bothersome spirits, neighbors, and seem to have repetitive bad emotions that seem to arise since moving to a location. I am always out to help those that need it and if I can, I will. I have had the odd ability to see where the trouble really lies when they cannot. Iām a helper.
I can go to graveyards. I enjoy going to them. I found out that where I live now wasnāt a cemetery, but it was farmland, then a landfill, then it became this mobile home park. My Amish āprotectorā died on the land when it was farmland. I bet you have some interesting stories to tell about Steven.
I keep a bowl of salt with black tourmaline in it in my living room. On the Full Moons, I change the salt and recharge the stones.
I have no idea about how you can learn to be Medium, but that would be awesome of you, if difficult for you too. Good luck with that! Itās an honorable, but tough path to walk!
Welcome to the forum! My name is Bry, Iām one of the moderators and an Eclectic Witch. Itās very nice to meet you
Just wanted to say hi and to please make yourself at home here! There are a lot of resources and discussions on both the main Spells8 site and here in the forum, so explore around to your heartās content. Youāre welcome to reach out if you have any questions.
Thank you for sharing this so openly, it sounds like youāve lived through experiences that felt very intense and real to you, and it makes sense that youād want understanding, protection, and knowledge around them. The wish to do good, help others, and stay connected to nature comes through very clearly in what you wrote.
Iām Stephanie or Eira of the Living Hearth, an eclectic witch from California, and Iām glad youāre here. Many people who feel sensitive or spiritually open also recognize the importance of grounding and protection, especially if they experience vivid dreams, presences, or impressions. Learning ways to center yourself, set boundaries, and feel safe in your own energy is a healthy and empowering direction.
If youāre open to it, I gently suggest keeping both spiritual and personal wellbeing in balance.
