It's been quite a while...but I am back from my hermitage.

That's right, I've been away on a little hermitage the past year, but now I am back. I have spent all this time taking a step back and looking at the world through a different point of view. I have grown exponentially in terms of spirituality over the past year, and I am ever smarter in terms of my occult knowledge. I continue to grow on my path in life and every day I learn something new or am made aware of another aspect of spirituality. Recently, I have been reading up on voodoo and hoodoo, and casting my own little spells. I also finally have a nice little herb cabinet sort of thing with some common herbs and some not so common herbs (like rose hips, dittany of crete, dogbane, and a few others). I've also begun planting, and a couple of my plants have died, but it was to be expected. So far, though, I have a gorwing DIttany of Crete plant, a growing White Sage plant, a growing Belladonna plant, a growing Creeping Rosemary plant, and two growing Salvia Divinorum plants. I recently planted a LOT of Lavender plants, and I guess we'll see where that goes. The ones that I am the most excited about, though, are obviously my two Salvia Divinorum plants. I cannot wait till they are fully grown and ready to be harvested..... oh man, I am going to have soooo much fun. Thank you for reading, this is all for now.

Ouija Board experiences...

So Den, Dylan, and I took our group occult experiences even further tonight by using a Ouija board. I did the protection ritual first (the one that I had posted in the previous blog entry), and then we proceeded to using the board. The first time, it didn't take long for us to get a response, and the first name that we got was Yezai... at first he said that he was there to talk to me, but then he started saying something about Yakima and a lake, so Dylan and I looked over at Den and she shrugged cuz she said he was supposed to be talking to me... so anyway, we eventually found out that there were 5 spirits around initially, and then later on when the answers were getting garbled up again we asked how many there were and there were only 4 left. Eventually we ended up getting word from Dylan's spirit guide, Kim, and she got some stuff out before the session ended. The video for this session will be posted as soon as I have a chance to look through and analyze the footage tomorrow.

The odd thing about this first session that we noted after it was all over, was when Dylan's phone rang, he got up and went outside to answer it, but the first time he picked up it was all static-y and he couldn't hear anything.... so he hung up, and then when Lance (our friend who had called him) tried to call him back, it was busy (even though Dylan wasn't using his phone at the time). Another weird instance was the whole Yakima thing, because the whole time Den was thinking that it might have been her Grandpa trying to talk to her.... and she and her mom are usually very connected when it comes to that stuff, so she called her mom up to ask if she had been thinking about her grandfather at all lately, and her mother had said that he was on her mind all day.... and it had started about an hour or so ago (when we had begun the sitting).

Weird coincidences? I think not. But you decide. After reviewing the video for this first session, I found multiple times in the video where there was a rapid clicking noise, such as the sound of keys being pressed on the keyboard... I don't think the sound could have come from an application on my computer, though, because I had muted the system volume.... the clicking sound remains a mystery for now, until I look into it more. It's probably just random sounds or something but you never know, right?

SO anyway, without further ado, here is the transcript of our session. Let me know if you know anything about it or can tell us anything or give us some suggestions for clearer contact...

Salvia Divinorum

So Den, Dylan and I decided to go out and try Salvia Divinorum today.... they wanted to try and see what the trip was like, and I wanted to see how it could help me get into an altered state of mind that I could use in my work. Dylan was the first to go, and Den and I took hits after he did the first one.... Dylan started freaking out and Den and I just started laughing at him because his voice was different, kind of "blobby" idk how else to explain it lol it just was. Then he kept tripping and we kept laughing at him, and then I started to get upset because I wasn't feeling anything from it. So we went and did round two, this time Den started to feel it and she started to freak out and I was still here in full body and mind.... So while I was entertained by her trip I was growing more and more upset at the fact that I still hadn't experienced it. She tripped for a while, and then when she was done, She and Dylan went out and smoked. I went outside to grab the lighter, as I was still upset at not feeling anything from it, and they continued to smoke outside as I sat down and went for round three. This was the one that did it. Shortly after taking a hit, I slumped into the sofa, sitting straight up at first but then my head started feeling heavy so it laid down on its own and my eyes shut and I was immediately in another place. I don't quite know what it was, and I can't really explain it, but I will try my best. I was somewhere that kind of reminded me of my childhood home on Saipan, but I was like sitting on the front porch which was made of cement.... I heard a very loud sound repeating over and over and over again, it sounded like big machinery going on and on, kind of like a printing press I suppose. And then all of a sudden I felt like I was being sucked into the sound, and everything started to fade away into a kaleidoscopic pattern, the kaleidoscopic pattern kept going around and around and it was getting closer and closer to me, until it finally took me into it and absorbed me into the pattern. It kept on going, and I felt like I had to kick up my legs because my body was going sideways to continue fitting in with the pattern, it kept on going around and around and taking me with it. I laughed and called out to Den and I was like "Holy shit get in here!!" but I guess they didn't hear me so they didn't come... the pattern kept on going, the machinery kept on beating the same sound over and over again, and I had been completely absorbed into the kaleidoscopic spinning pattern... eventually I opened my eyes and started to come back.... They had returned to the living room by then, and I asked Den if she heard me call out to her, but she said no the only thing she heard was my constant laughter as they were coming back in... It was at this point that I suddenly had this weird emotional swing, and I got extremely sad that she didn't hear me call out to her... I said, "I called out to you..... but you never came..." and then I just slooped down further into the sofa and let it all sink in for a while... it was a weird feeling.... And then eventually I came back fully and here I am now writing about the whole experience in my blog using Dylan's computer. It was an.... interesting.... experience.
