Entering the astral realm

[image error]

Merry meet all,

Ah Fall, what don’t we love about this season? Mabon is here, the latest turn in the Wheel of the Year. The next major much anticipated Sabbat is Samhain. I think that the time between Mabon and Samhain is the most magical.

Lately I have been interested in learning more about the ether, the ethereal realm, or also known as the astral realm. That’s because I seek explanations for some scary paranormal experiences. I want to learn even more. I took a peek at a book by Jeff Belanger, an encyclopedia of nightmares and such. I wrote down the title and want to buy the book. It didn’t answer my questions as the material in the book was nothing I didn’t already know. That is the frustrating thing about it. I may have to accept I am going to receive the answers I want, and the answers lie …… somewhere.

I think that the astral realm is where we go when we die. I don’t know about some people but I don’t want to go there. I will take Hekate’s realm of death over that. I may have no choice. I am not in a hurry to die but when it is my time, I don’t want to be there. The experiences I have had have been anything but happy. Rather, it was terrifying and traumatizing. I think that nasty spirits that were or may never have been human exist there and are waiting for inexperienced fresh souls to cross over. They lurk and wait. Not a comforting thought.

I can wait. I want to learn but from books or something… safe..

And yet here we are, inching closer to the time of here when the veil wears thin once again. I better create potent magickal enchantments and charms on my home. Yup I can see myself smudging (not that useful), putting salt on windowsills and doors and doorways, etc. I want to find something more powerful. I see spirits in my home yet when I sit down to my ouija board, nothing happens. I am changing that- without ending up in trouble. I tend to treat divination tools with respect. That is why I have not had many problems.
