Mimicry in the bayou

General Discussion

Hello sha!,

How’s it going this Friday? TGIF!
I was thinking about all the spooky encounters I’ve had ever since I’ve moved into my new house on our property, and a memory popped up that I had completely forgotten about!

Ok, so my house has an open floor plan. I watch my tv directly in front of me while I’m washing dishes late at night, my entire family is sleeping, and I can see all 3 of them, they all passed out from a big day in the living room, and remember, I can see them.

Well as I’m washing dishes and cleaning, I look at the tv, and then I look at them, and that’s just what I do, and what I did, and then I look down for a brief moment, like a split of a second, and when I’m going to look back up, I see the top of a child’s head walking towards me, but all I can see is the top of their head, and then they pretty much like walked under my counter, my island counter, and so I lean to the right to look under the counter to ask my child if they’re okay and why they woke up and stuff, but nobody was there. At all!!

My heart dropped, and I shot back up and looked to make sure I wasn’t trippin (slang for mistaken or goi ng crazy)
And I guess I was not trippin because everyone, my kids and my husband were still snoring in the same spots they were before, like 3 seconds before all that happened. Even though it wasn’t as malicious as some of the other stuff I experienced, this situation really really freaked me out, more than I had been in a long while.

I haven’t seen anything mimic my children since, but thank god because that really messed with me. It’s crazy how everything is pretty much off limits when it comes to paranormal and supernatural things.

Wow what an amazing experience. You probably have a wonderful aura and the spirit world is like, “ooh I must come and visit” it’s a gift. My aunty is like this, people only ever stay in her house one night cuz it’s alive. :rofl: She has one rule for the spirits, tidy up afterwards! :laughing:

I think my longest spirit visitor is my night demon, although recently thanks to my recent studies I’ve found out he’s a djinn, I did wonder, but now it’s confirmed. 40+ years we’ve been attached, amazing really, so I’m learning about djinn’s. He’s not overly friendly but he’s good. I’m hoping to open up communication (past attempts have failed ) and I’ve been told they like rosewater and sweet black tea, and summer is best as they’re desert creatures so hate the cold and tend to go quiet in winter in colder regions (I’m UK).

Anyways, I really enjoyed your story.

Oh my goodness. Girl! You got a whole djinn hanging out with you ? That’s bold. Like really bold. I honestly wish I could be that cool about it. I’m more like … on edge every time it happens lol . I bet that’s why they keep coming back too! They probably love spooking the hell out of me. :rofl:

So what’s your djinns name? Do they have names? They originated from Asian mythology, right? Forgive me if I’m a little ignorant when it comes to djinns, I honestly only researched them for a brief moment once before, but I’m really interested in knowing more! I’m assuming your djinn is equivalent to what a daemon would be rather than a demon, right?

It looks like spirits love you, it’s nice really, you must have a gentle energy so they feel they can approach you. :grin:

His name is Alu, there’s a piece I wrote about him here when I first learnt about him as a night demon (Daemon).

Demonolatry (Demon/Daemon) Master Post

I picked him up as a child, he used to scare me, it was here in Spells8 that I learnt to understand him. He clears away negative energy, it feels like sleep paralysis only you’re awake! :flushed_face:

The name Alu is also a runic name and means protector. I learnt his djinn status as part of my rune studies ironically. They’re fascinating, I spent many years in the middle east as a child and it’s common for them to be attracted to witches even if you don’t know you’re a witch yet. They attach themselves to your energy and then that’s it, you’re kinda together. :person_shrugging: They can be mischievous but most are not. They’re not friendly, but neither are they evil, they’re :thinking: grumpy I think (or maybe just mine is as he doesn’t like the winter cold I don’t know :laughing:) and he comes and goes as he pleases, but with the right offerings maybe I can entice him to a meet n greet :hugs: (I have a sigil which I made for him last year or before, and that’s as close as I got). Having been around so long I know he’s safe but oh my there’s some wild n scary stories about djinn, :scream: I’ll just ignore those. :rofl: Funny how you can have an entity/spirit being with you for such a long time, and still not really know it. :green_heart:

This is how I imagine him, though I’ve only ever felt and heard his presence. I’ve recently added a statue just for him to my altar.

I wonder what I would get if I lived there. I often joke that I’m head blind, but it’s true. I don’t seem to feel energy all that well, I’m not a bit empathic, and I’ve never seen anything really. So. I think that just like there are people who can sense things, there are others who are head blind.

So I can just imagine this ghost trying to scare me and getting nothing. LOL! It’s an amusing thought.

True. The only thing I ever got was shadow people at the toxic pizza place I worked at, but that was usually at 2 a.m., and I was tired. And my Dad, after he died, always left pennies. But yeah, they could be all standing there watching with popcorn, making fun of me or something.

I am just so fascinated!!! Wow!!! So does he do your bidding if you leave him whiskey or something?
I honestly always felt I had something like that attached to me, but I don’t know. I guess I felt like I had that and I thought of it many many many times, but I honestly wouldn’t know how to find out if I did have that.
Most of the time, the eerily things always happen to me when I’m the only one awake.
Now I’m curious! How would I go about finding this out? Do I just like .. talk to it.. out loud? If so, how would I know that what I’m talking to is benevolent or if it’s malevolent? I don’t want to walk into something that I may not be able to handle getting rid of.

No, I’ve no control over him and I’ve been told djinn like rosewater and sweet black tea :grin:.

I honestly don’t know how you’d find out. I’m still learning myself but there is a ritual here that opens up communication with the demonic

A Spiritual Phone Call: Ritual for Speaking to Spirits

What I’ve experienced is that these types of beings tend to mirror us, they’re not like spirits of dead people, they’re like angels or gods really so I’ve always been respectful. I don’t believe in all that binding and genie in the lamp stuff, to me that’s bad manners and I think he’d just bop me on the head with the lamp :diya_lamp: if I tried :rofl:.

The only way I know he’s not malevolent is he’s never hurt me despite all these years. :person_shrugging:

As I learn more I may do a post here, but if you’re worried about protection, just use whatever protection rituals are of your practice - I’ve been told certain passages from the Qur’an are good for protection if it’s a bad djinn but I’ve never tried this, I always use runes.

Oh wow! Thats pretty fascinating. Have you ever seen that movie ‘nefarious’ ? Great movie! Father Carlos Martin said the acting in this movie was the closest depiction to a demonic possession that hes ever seen!
I have never seen a demonic possession before, thank god
But I must say, the actor who played as the possessed person; he was phenomenal ! Whenever you see the demon come and go, everything from his accent to his actual face, it all just like changes right in front of your face on the split of a dime. It was brilliant! If djinns abide by passages from the Quran, then are djinns an Islamic religion type of thing? (Sorry I didn’t know what terms to use. I’m trying to keep it respectful even though I’m completely ignorant, so forgive me plz )

Djinn’s are pre islam but they’re mentioned in the Qur’an, they are created by Allah ( or universe, god, or whatever your tradition calls it) from the desert and fire, each culture has djinn, they’re just called different names, they’re very similar to European Fae so I read today, and they are independent beings, same as angels and demons, they are neither good nor bad and have a conscience same as us.

Hopefully you never will as it’s pure fiction, I work with the demonic, they’ve better things to do with their time than occupy human beings :rofl: they’d much rather join you on your ventures and help you succeed. :laughing: The only “possessions” I believe are feeders and it’s not nearly as dramatic as Hollywood, thank god, poor priests if it were. :rofl::green_heart:

So, hold on. I’m catholic, so you know, this would be blasphemy, but idc. I need to know more. lol.
So you mean to tell me.. that’s not a real thing? Like for real for real? But I thought demons possessed humans because they wanted to spite god since he loves humans so much?
And what’s a feeder?

Nope, sorry, alot of what the Abrahamic religions teach about the demonic was to induce fear, they’re are either angels, or the old pagan gods, and nature spirits. The demonolatry post I linked above explains it. There are feeder spirits that are different but the demon/Daemon nope. I’ve read some great books on Catholic Mysticism that talk about how in the book of Tobit, Asmoday is mentioned and how he walks amongst God as he’s a master of the law and reports on what humanity is up to, that’s in the Talmud I think! Much like the djinn, banned from working with them in Islam but they acknowledge they exist and not evil. Same as witchcraft and Voodoo and hoodoo, just cuz a church doesn’t like, not necessarily what the gods think.

Might interest you. :green_heart::partying_face:

A feeder, can be several types of entity, it’s earthbound and drains out energy, it too is rare. :green_heart:

No need to apologise, it’s good to share it’s how we grow, I learn so much from fellow witches here, plus I’ve added extra links. No pressure to read any of it though :people_hugging::green_heart::laughing:

Ahh I don’t live actually on the bayou. I just thought it was a clever title since I’m from Louisiana and in my mind bayous & swamps most likely = Louisiana; even though I know florida has some swamp areas like the everglades, i guess i just assumed folks outside of louisiana heard bayou and instantly thought of lousiana. :woman_shrugging: I don’t even know if that makes sense. :sweat_smile:
Sorry for any confusion.
But no seriously i have been researching my property because of some extensive hauntings and unexplainable occurrences. Do you know what “the watchers” are? Like the 200 angels that came from heaven and taught mankind the forbidden knowledge such as pulling metals from the earth to make weapons, metallurgy? They also taught mankind about astrology, how to write with pen and paper, and etc etc?
