Welcoming Nine Stones Close

This post is preceded by Part One (A Call to the Nine Ladies) and Part Two (Doll Tor and the Hidden Gem).

A trip to Derbyshire isn’t complete without visiting the fabulous Nine Stones Close sacred site. I have to say that our first visit to this site wasn’t promising. We had felt that the energies were strong there but not aligned with us. We were young, we were foolish, we were unrecognising the beautiful but ill Oak tree in the adjacent (but close) field.

Fortunately we have learned. Nine Stones is now one of my favourite sites. There I have danced with Pan, healed a so grateful Oaks aura and been blessed with its protection. I owe the site a lot and as I approached it across the muddy fields I knew without communingAn interaction with an invisible and natural sentient force that is independently identifiable, even if it cannot be named or classified. The interaction takes place at the level of a subtle amalgamation of the mind of the perceiver such that a dialogue or transference of feelings may occur between the two sentient parties. The interaction that is ‘communing’ is purposefully initiated by the perceiver for the express purpose of learning or simply to transfer feelings in a sympathetic manner. that it was shouting a tally-ho across the fields. I know sounds like a lot of hubris, but in some cases, I am sorry guys, you just have to be there. Experiences are visceral.

This was the third sacred site that I visited and I felt I was on a wonderful role. With my meeting the Maori spirit singer at nine ladies, the energised Lapis at Doll Tor and now the welcoming nine stones close. Okay I was up to my ankles in mud, but hey, the sun had broken through the clouds and I was joyous.

Propping my bag on the stone wall between the tree and the stones I did some preliminary dowsing…

• Was the Oak healthy? Yes. Good, that Oak is my friend.
• Was there any work for me to do at the site? Yes.
• Did the site need any healing? No. Good, since Gwas the Earth healer was absent.
• Was the work on myself? Yes.
• Did I need to meditate? No. O Okay.
• Did I need to visualise? Yes. Ah…er…what’s the difference?
• Did I need anything? Yes.

I asked to be taken to what I needed and was led to my bag. I opened the bag, which alas has so much clutter in it, it would make a Feng Shui practitioner scream. Anyway I asked which section of the bag I needed to look and was after a few more questions pointed at a folder of notes.

Side note: Having progressed along the path of getting my book published by Hay House (see Kals 3 Goals) I am in the process or rather beginning the process of creating an audio/visual version of it (Active Enlightenment). To that end I have been failing miserably at trying to order the book in accordance with its new form. The notes for this was contained in tha bove mentioned folder.

I have a theory, please let me know what you think in the comments. My theory is that if something is playing on your mind then dowsing and communingAn interaction with an invisible and natural sentient force that is independently identifiable, even if it cannot be named or classified. The interaction takes place at the level of a subtle amalgamation of the mind of the perceiver such that a dialogue or transference of feelings may occur between the two sentient parties. The interaction that is ‘communing’ is purposefully initiated by the perceiver for the express purpose of learning or simply to transfer feelings in a sympathetic manner. and visiting of sacred sites will take this obsessing into account in its direction – sometimes. What do you think? Why are we directed/guided as we are? For instance, what the heck is the Knights Quest all about? Would love your thoughts on this.

The beginning

And so I have been playing with this content for the last 3 weeks in attempt to bring order to chaos. Now, here I am with this pile of notes, in a muddy field, with four huge rocks in it. Question time…

• Are these notes what I am being directed at? Yes.
• Am I to read them to find what I am looking for? No
• Is it the notes as a whole? Yes.
• Should I do a visualisation on them? Yes

Okay, first thing is that there were a lot of questions – that in honesty I feel foolish in repeating, so I wont, secondly. I had no idea what “visualise on them” meant. The best I could manage was to sit on the stone wall under the oak facing the circle and look through my notes. And then it happened…

As I leafed through the notes, looking at all the permutations that the topics could go in, I saw what was needed. Not only did I see this but also the music from the Maori singer came to mind. She hadn’t been singing in a rhythm that went fast at all. She had been singing in a spiral. It was so clear that I saw the image float in 3D space in front of me. With the image came an unblocking, as if the mental gates had opened and the process could run freely. Honestly, I cried.

My purpose for the next few weeks is to create that vision,

• If no one lives in a haunted house, is the house still haunted?

This question has perplexed physicists (in a way) and a paranormal investigator (me) for many moons. To add another piece of cheese to the pile of crumbs.

• If a light starts to flicker in the bathroom (for no electronic reason) would it still flicker if there was no one there to see it? What if you put light recording equipment into the bathroom and left the house?

Those of you familiar with the observer effect from the realms of quantum physics will know that this is a dilemma that puzzles us still. As the joke goes…how many observers did it take for the universe to be created?

I digress slightly. This post is about a failure, as to whose failure it was, well you judge…

There is something in the house

Before I continue, I just want to point out that when people hear that I investigate sick houses there is the immediate statement that…”There is something wrong in my house” It’s inevitable. I have come to call this the Doctor in the house effect, since I recall from years previous when I used to hang with a doctor or two. Whenever someone found out that they were a doctor, ailments would appear from every corner. As the immortal axiom says…

• As with Dr’s thus with Paranormal Investigators (I am loathed to say P.I.s)

Most of the time, there is nothing wrong with your house (certainly not in a way to drastically affect your life). In my experience there are more often more important concerns e.g. from a mental, emotional, physical and energetic perspective. After all GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out). Again I digress slightly.

Thus here I was investigating another house. My first assumption is that there is nothing wrong with the house. So that is the first question I ask.

• Is there nothing energetically significantly wrong with this house?

I have been questioned as to the importance of “the dowsing question”? i.e. does the phrasing of the question matter? Yes and no. Yes if you are trying to determine a cause or solution. No in general cases. What I mean here is that sometimes you know what you want to ask but can’t find an exact question that fits the bill. So you go for a close approximate. I have a theory about this (in another post). For Gwas’s theories see note at end. Anyway, the above question was fair to me as it kind of got to the crux of the matter. Also note that I can’t get the scientist out of me and like to mix up my methods a bit. Normally I would have asked “Is there anything wrong with this house?” Hmmm…the plumbing, the decor, the noise levels from neighbours…

Obviously the answer was yes.

• What power centers where there: 9 and 7 black
• 4 and 6 white
• Was there an entity involved – yes.

O darn! Here we go again!. For illustration purposes I have created the video below so that you can see the layout of the room which contained the power centers.

The flickering energy on the left is the entity, the energy ball that is generated on the right is the level 7 power center. The energy then does a bit of loop and flows out of the room into the remainder of the apartment.

• I have to say that the occupants of the apartment rarely if ever entered or stayed in that room, even though it was the main room of the house and that it had a big screen tv in it too.

Investigating the houses energies some more and the entity too I found that the seat that it was sitting on was a place that had seen some heavy emotional out-pourings. I queried the daughter (the occupants were a mother and daughter) and after some reluctance she told me that she had gone through a really bad emotional period some 8 years ago (the bad period was 3/4 years long). Most of this time she had spent in that room, on that sofa!

It was at this time that the entity had attached to her to gain a lift into the apartment and had settled on the place that had the most negative (depressive) energy.

Whose house is it anyway?

I have been studying thresholds increasingly over the last 8 months and have found it to be a significant factor when examining the dynamics of house energies. This case was no different, indeed what I found was that the entity had taken complete ownership of the house. It was its home! Again, questioning the owners confirmed that they didn’t feel at home in the apartment.

As I have learned, houses have thresholds. These thresholds can be owned (belong to). The person or persons who own the threshold have a much greater power in the house than someone who doesn’t. An interesting point is that thresholds can contain other thresholds to. For instance a house has a threshold, then within it a room can have a threshold too.

• Have you or perhaps a family member that you know lived almost entirely in their room? Turning it into a sanctuary of a kind, even placing a sign on the door “My Room”.

This can create a threshold within the homes threshold. This is what happened in this case too. The daughter’s room had a threshold of its own. She owned it. Indeed, from the way the energies bounced of the door, it was besieged. Also the two positive power centers were in her room (the 6 was a place that the daughter regularly meditated).

The solution

Several questions revealed that this energy solution wasn’t going to be solved by the placing of crystals and burning of incense. Why? I don’t know. I do have a theory (but I’ve digressed enough times in this post). Anyway the solution for this problem came to this.

It was approaching Christmas and the shift in energy that would be needed to eject the entity was to have a family party in that room. Love, family, connection and the flavour of energy that only a Christmas type celebration can bring would give them ownership of the threshold. Once this was done,  I could instigate a kicking of ass via energetic items (yes, crystals, plants, candles etc.).

For several days, running up to Christmas, I tried to persuade the family to hold a celebration in that room, it failed. Christmas came and I asked them to move the dinning table into the offending room. They had invited me to celebrate Christmas with them and when I arrived I noted that the table had moved from another room. Alas though it had only moved to half-way into the room and half out.

• In the video above, the table is just where the camera is positioned.

So, alas the saga remains the same. The daughter and mother, remain uncomfortable with the room in particular (and the house in general). Occasionally they ask me to look into it again and help them (I wonder how they overcome the s.e.p. field to do that, perhaps they have a higher energy state at that time. Worth investigating).

What is an energy worker to do?

Thanks for your time,

Kal Malik

ps: just to leave you with a mystery…the other power center in the daughter’s room has a whole avenue of investigation, remember it because I’ll be coming back to it.

pps: here is Gwas’s note on the dowsing question

I believe that whatever we are interacting with (higher self, helpful entities) is cleverer than we are in our everyday waking consciousness. When we are often unable to use language to specify our requirements that is not the end of our ability to ask questions. Our thought patterns may be quite clear about what we are asking, it is just that we have no language to express it.

When our thoughts are clear then our dowsing responses are more certain. There is no harm in asking an indistinct question, but don’t expect a clear response, that’s all! Sometimes, a stupid or indistinct question will lead you to formulate a better one when the answer comes back as unclear as well. It’s a process.

Often I find that where we make mistakes is in the interpretation of the response, not in the asking of the questions. In my experience, the clearer and more precise the question then the easier it is to understand and interpret the response.

A friend of a friend called me in to do some investigation on her apartments energies and so I did. Before I did so I met up with her for a coffee and asked her about why she thought there might be an energetic issue. Her list of complaints runs thus…

1. It’s always cold in the back room.
2. I’ve had a spate of bad luck since I moved into the apartment (3 years ago)

1. Boyfriend cheating on her
2. Was laid off from work twice
3. Various illnesses (though nothing serious)

• I’ve decorated twice and had a Feng Shui guy in too but it still feels off

An 'okay' apartment

With these under my belt I toddled off and turned up at her door one fresh and freezing winters day. Her apartment was pretty normal as they go. Three bedrooms, kitchen, living and sitting room as one. Two bathrooms (one en-suite).

As has become a practice now when I house dowse, I stood at her door and asked to be let in. She wasn’t weirded out by this request (which was nice but weird in its own right). I walked in and decided to dowse straight off the bat as the lady made tea.

• How many positive power centers are there? 2. Negative? 1.
• Whats the strength of the positive ones? 5 and 3. Negative? 3.

Nothing too bad about that. In my book anything below a 4 is pretty normal (a microwave in the wrong place has given me a 3 once).

• Is there anything significantly wrong? No

Oh, Okay.

• Are any of the above majorly caused by the energy configuration of the apartment? No.

Hmmm…

• Is there anything I can do to improve the energies of the home? Yes. (I guess there is always something you can do, right?)

I went into the kitchen as the kettle finished boiling and the lady eagerly asked what I had learned. “Nothing,” I responded, “The energies in your home are pretty normal.” She looked quite disappointed I have to say, what did she want? An ogre in the attic?

Sometimes it is just a matter of life being a ….

Douglas Adams

A few years ago we lost that remarkable genius, Douglas Adams. Both Gwas and I have been a fan of his work for years. From the original Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (known amongst aficionados as hhgttg, or H2G2) to the less famous, but equally recommended Dirk Gently series.

Not a month goes by when we come across a life situation that is comically mirrored in either of the above mentioned series. One such example we have purloined for the energy world was referred to in the hhgttg as The S.E.P Field.

Somebody Else’s Problem

From the book then we have…

An SEP is something we can’t see, or don’t see, or our brain doesn’t let us see, because we think that it’s somebody else’s problem…. The brain just edits it out, it’s like a blind spot. If you look at it directly you won’t see it unless you know precisely what it is. Your only hope is to catch it by surprise out of the corner of your eye.

The technology involved in making something properly invisible is so mind-bogglingly complex that 999,999,999 times out of a billion it’s simpler just to take the thing away and do without it……. The “Somebody Else’s Problem field” is much simpler, more effective, and “can be run for over a hundred years on a single torch battery.”

This is because it relies on people’s natural predisposition not to see anything they don’t want to, weren’t expecting, or can’t explain. [source]

As I said, Gwas and I have purloined this phrase to describe a rather interesting phenomena that is put out (or radiated like a field) by energetic entities. As you will have read on a few occasions Gwas and I have interacted with energetic awareness or entities that have been bad for our energy. Out in the wilds we have sometimes referred to them as Leprechaun EnergyAn intelligent and aware energy with a penchant for causing mishaps, stealing treasured items, and being territorial.. The SEP field described herein is more to do with bad energies we have found in homes.

Often we have found these entities lingering in homes (even our own homes) and have thought to do something about them. Which (again as demonstrated) we are quite able to do. However an unusual energy that these entities put out can only be referred to as an SEP field. Basically the phenomena can be described thus…

We will find, or be told of, a bad energy in a home. We will resolve to do something about it. We might get a look in to dowse the thing but whenever we think to do something about it, a lethargy sets in or some other task will seem more important or we will just plain forget it. Only to recall hours later (or even days) that we were meant to fix something.

We have named this phenomena an SEP field, in honour of Douglas Adams, whose works continue to inspire us. Some other notes on this field are…

• Distance seems to be a factor in that the further you are the more you can think about it.
• It is usually something in your own home rather than someone else’s (we seem to be able to deal with entities in other people’s houses).
• We are more able to talk about them with each other rather than think about them when we are on our own. This seems to be related to the above point in that the SEP field might only affect the home owner/resident.
• This invisibility field is related to the strength of the entity. The stronger the entity the stronger the field.
• Putting up protection does not seem to work in resolving the field.
• It seems that they really do have to be caught off guard. i.e. in passing we will think of it, grab our rods and do something about it.

To say that these fields are annoying is an understatement. Because they seem to affect the owner (in this case Gwas or I) we have founded them (and I quote) “Maddening”

Dark Entities and SEP fields

Gwas here. I’d like to add my information as a supplement to Kal’s points. I agree with everything he’s said so far, but there are a few additional things I’d like to explore that have come to my attention about this problem.

The first aspect is that the phenomenon may not be linked solely to “bad”, “dark” or “ill-intentioned” energy forces. Certainly, is it much more within the nature of the deceitful spirit to want to keep its presence quiet, or force anyone’s attention away from its workings. That is defnitiely one aspect fo what’s going on here. However, I feel that all intelligent unseen entities have this capability. How it gets used may differ according to the entity’s personal character and motivations.

So, I think there is a level of assumed intelligence in operation here. That means that you are potting your wits against anything that you can detect is using an SEP field to distract your thoughts away from its work, and you may question why it would want to do that to you. Is it for your benefit, or because it wants to keep you in a particular state of iignorance and apathy?

This would be the point at which you should determine whether you are a “food source” for this entity!

Draining and complaining

Why am I so tired

One of the symptoms of being energetically drained by an intelligent entity is that the “victim” begins to complain about lethargy. As the victim’s energy field is depleted they may begin to take steps to generate mroe energy, but to no avail. They may begin to do more exercise but just feel tired. They may eat more but not be satisfied. They may do more spiritual or psychic work but find that this is not as productive or as helpful as they are used to. They may become ill more frequently. At this point you may begint o get really concerned about the effects of this force, and rightly so.

As Kal has pointed out, putting up protection is not going to stop you being drained. If you are already having your energy depleted then whatever protection you put up is likely to be at the very least weakened, and at best it may have a temporary protective effect, but it’s going to cost you energetically to maintain this protection. So what can you do? Get help! Either from someone who knows what they’re dealing with, or if you have the knowledge of how to do this yourself, then begin to take steps to deal with it. Here is my recommendation for the self-help process:-

1. Get out of its way – go somewhere far away from it’s influence, and make sure that you haven’t taken it with you.
2. Visit a place of power. Open yourself up to this place’s healing and re-balancing, its energising and nourishing energies, and get your energy levels back up. This may take more than one visit. You wil have to identify such a place of power yourself. You already know one, even if you think you don’t.
3. Learn about the entity. You may need to be far from it to do this. Why not start in your place of power? Find out about it – male/female, beneficial/harmful, strength, any impressions about its intentions, was it human once/nature spirit, and so on. Knowledge will help you. Tarot cards are a good way to reveal information.
4. Confront it when you’re at your strongest. Catch it off guard. Psychically get hold of it and act out the act of cutting the connection it has made to you. Then send it away with your strong intention and the pwoer of your will. Act this out physically if this helps, with gestures and expressions.
5. Seal the area. Put up protection around yourself and the affected area (maybe your home) to prevent it coming back in easily.
6. Watch for its return. Some entities are clever and persistent, and will try to get back at you if you have been a good source of energetic ‘food’. Watch for its return.

Of course, these are pathetically generalised instructions, but they may help you find your own way to deal with these things.

Other things that can help you focus are: burn incense to clear the space, use crystals (especially quartz) to focus intent and energies and offer some additional protection.

I would recommend reading about other methods by such writers as Ted Andrews, David Furlong or Judy Hall. Fore-warned is fore-armed, as they say. My main advice is – don’t ignore these things just because they want to be ignored. That’s usually a sign that you should be finding out what it is that wants you to be unaware!

Gwas.

Later...

Kal here again. I was pondering this some more last night when I had a thought. Perhaps the reason why our protection against such SEP fields wasn’t working was because they were already inside our threshold?

Thinking back over our experiences, I feel that the SEP field is more like a chameleon’s camouflage i.e. something innate rather than something that is intended. Just a feeling I have. Also I suspect that historically we were more able to see/sense these creatures than we are now. Hence why there were more reports of supernatural beings in the past than there are now. Perhaps this is because belief has waned?

I really like Gwas’s self-help ideas. Perhaps a how-to post is in the offing? I would point out though that the SEP field itself stops us from doing these things. Even as I write this I know that there is some energetic thing in the other room that is actively stopping me from thinking about it. Maybe I should do something about it now…just let me finish another post…

Kal Malik

As you may know, a recent visit to Lud’s Church. Gave me another blue key towards achieving my Knights Quest. This key was to gain confidence in my voice. A curious key because I would have thought that I was quite confident in voicing my opinion or indeed in writing of my experiences (see this blog).

However, further meditation revealed that this confidence was literally related to my voice. Taking up the challenge and seeing how I could use my voice in this new light I decided to pull my knightly finger out and get to the task.

Star Song

Many years ago, I discovered a fabulous secret in plain sight. One of those things that is missed again and again. It took modern science to understand it and yet ancient people experienced.

Thousands of years ago people have stared up at the stars and created images of Gods out of them. The modern take on this is that they saw the mystery of the stars and being in awe of them they patterned Gods out of them. The other more fanciful notion is that the ancients had visitors from the stars and then in some kind of worshipfulness and they venerated the stars.

Arrant nonsense in my view! These two make the assumption that ancient people  were neither wise nor intelligent.

As we look from today back in time to those “dark ages” we find that the light of reason fades. However the resonance of intuition increases. Thus we can speculate (which is evidenced if you read material on Shamanic history) that in that time, heightened intuition was the norm.Let’s tie this with some modern knowledge about stars.

 As you know stars are suns that are a phenomenal distance away. Light from these stars sets out billions of years before we are born and heads off on a journey. The eventual culmination of this star trek is to fall through our night sky into the eye of a person looking up in awe.

Now lets take a 4000 year perspective. A person of today, filled with the rational noise of the world has scant chance to connect with his intuitive sense to “feel” this marvellous connection with the universe. A person from 4000 years ago. Who is living by intuition has no such noise to foil his intuitional senses. As Gwas and I continue to learn, star energy/light has properties that we are continuing to explore.

Combining all of this together, then surely it was the case that ancient people, when looking up at the night sky, truly felt and connected with the universe, in an utterly visceral way. Surely the were monumentally correct when they pattern the stars into Gods. Because for them, they were literally being touched by the light of the Gods.

In my humble way, I created a recording, kind of like a meditation that takes one on a journey to explore the above truth. It is/will be available on this site along with many other gifts when you purchase my friend Tam’s new book Cultivating Radiance.  Also this completed one of my Blue Keys on my Knights Quest in a truly fabulous way.

Continued from part III here.

I had left Peter with an “Evil” thing in his attic. The thing had a negative energy strength of -6 (Yes it’s bad, but he had been living with a -10 for 2 years). So I wasn’t feeling too bad about it. The next day I couldn’t make it back and the day after I got a call from Peter in the morning. “You have to come back! I’m being driven crazy!” was the message he left on my answer machine.

So I was back at his house that evening and he was a mess! “What the heck happened to you?” He was disheveled, sunken eyes, like he hadn’t had any sleep for 2 days. Which apparently he hadn’t.

Two days ago, when I had left him, he had taken the diaries upto his room and read through them, through almost the night, then he had tried to get some sleep in the early hours but his head was filled with stuff from the diary. The next morning (or rather the same morning) he was ill with headaches and couldn’t go to work. These continued throughout the day and the next night he couldn’t get to sleep either and spent the night watching TV in the lounge.

Wow! A normal perspective might have been a virus or illness of some kind but this was too much of a coincidence. I couldn’t help but ask Peter why he hadn’t gone to the Dr’s with this. Sorry, just couldn’t resist the dig. Time for some dowsing…

• Did the thing upstairs cause Peters illness and nightmares? Yes.
• What strength was it now? -17! What? What? I triple checked it. Yes it was -17! How? I thought about it for a bit and the only thing that came to mind was that Peter had been reading the diaries and had taken the box up to his room (I should have told him not to do that). Was this the cause of the -17? YES.
• After some really cool intuition and dowsing (if I do say so myself) I came up with the notion that because Peter had been reading the emotional content of the diaries the thing had been able to sap his energy too and was now a whopping -17! Scary!

I dowsed the box (and books) and found that its energy levels had dimished and had moved. I followed them and they led to where Peter was sat! I asked him to move and the energies moved with him. I dowsed and found three spirals of energy coming out of him and heading up the stairs (you know where!). Then I had an insight…

Gwas and I often find that a energy centre doesn’t neccessarily mean a place where energies come out from, but may also be a place where energies sink in to. So I asked whether the energy flow was coming out or in. Totally frighteningly I found they were going into him! The thing had its ‘claws’ in him, quite literally.

With a sigh, I asked whether I could still get rid of this thing? Surprisingly Yes. I had brought the following with me…

• Incense (snadlewood and nagchampa)
• Candles
• Singing Bowl (I had it in the car)
• Crystals (again I have stacks of them in the car).

As I walked back to the car I felt quite bad for Peter, What a blow. I was also kicking myself for not burning the diaries (that would have been my first point) fire seems to have a good destructive effect on negative energies (mythically and really). As this was going through my head, a thought occured to me. O crap! I hadn’t protected myself and I pulled the rods by the car and found that I had a ‘tendrill’ wrapped around me too. I did a quick energy bombAn energy bomb is (for me) the pulling in of energy from the surrounding environment and then causing an explosive release. It is highy effective against Leprechaun Energy but not so much against energetic draining energies and shades. and checked. Nope, still there. I spent a bit more time in visualising another one and bang! Still there! Okay, I thought, at least I know it’s there. So I wandered back to the garden (our base of operations) and I dowsed for what I needed.

• How many candles will I need? 1…2…3…7…14…22…33. What? A thought occured to me. One for each power centreA place where a person of a particular alignmentAlignment relates to the concept that humans have their own energy fields that are oriented or formed in a specific way such that the person is either suited better to one energy source of another. Some people have their energy fields empowered by the direct subtle energy force of The Sun, whilst others are empowered by the indirect subtle energy of The Moon. Due to the historical associations and symbolisation of The Sun with masculinity and The Moon with femininity we designate these alignments as either being ‘male’ or ‘female’ alignments accordingly. We interchangeable refer to people as being ‘sun-aligned’ or ‘male-aligned’ and similarly with the female alignment. (see ‘AlignmentAlignment relates to the concept that humans have their own energy fields that are oriented or formed in a specific way such that the person is either suited better to one energy source of another. Some people have their energy fields empowered by the direct subtle energy force of The Sun, whilst others are empowered by the indirect subtle energy of The Moon. Due to the historical associations and symbolisation of The Sun with masculinity and The Moon with femininity we designate these alignments as either being ‘male’ or ‘female’ alignments accordingly. We interchangeable refer to people as being ‘sun-aligned’ or ‘male-aligned’ and similarly with the female alignment.’) feels particularly comfortable and empowered. The place is an energetic centre where a particularly beneficial combination and formation of energies is formed into a pattern that is harmonic with the person for whom it can be called a power centre.? Yes. Crap I had like about 7 candles. Ok Next,
• How many incense sticks? 17 (this got worse and worse)
• Crystals? 2. I know 2? What?
• Did I need the singing bowl? No.
• Was this all? No.
• Did I need to do a intention? Yes.
• Was that all? No.
• Did we need to burn the diaries? Yes.
• Was that all? No.
• Did I need to get help from life energy (plants/trees)? No. Hot darn it.
• Was I being affected by the energy tendrill? Yes.

I knew I was missing something but just couldn’t thnk of what, then I had a breakthrough. There was this energy tendrill attached to me, but it wasn’t like leprechaun energyAn intelligent and aware energy with a penchant for causing mishaps, stealing treasured items, and being territorial. that followed you around. Could I move far enough away to be detached from this? As an after thought I wondered…Could Peter?

I asked whether what I needed was something that I needed to bring? No. Was it an action of somekind? Yes. Good! I needed candles so I asked Peter to come with me to the superstore. He refused, but I told him it would be good for him and he came along. We had driven about 10 minutes and Peter visibly (and I really mean visibly) improved. Interesting that ‘they’ (the tendrils) couldn’t follow.

We walked around the local DIY store looking for candles (Peter thought I was nuts). But eventually I found a box of a hundred tea lites. Perfect. As we walked towards the counter I was drawn to the plants. I know, the rods had said no, but…hmmm…As I pondered them, Peter stepped over and said, “they’ll die”. So I whistfully let it go and turned back to the aisle just in time to bump into a lady carrying a sign, it said, “Home is where the Heart is”

I am lucky (touch wood) if I do say so myself, my luck comes not from having signs pop into my life frequently but from being able to recognise them when they do, This was one such occasion. Home is where the heart is. I knew what the missing ingredient was.

We bought the candles and returned to the house, but before going near it I stopped the car and put quintuple levels of protection around both of us. I didn’t want any tendrils latching onto us. This time I had told Peter what I was doing (blessing him), I needed all the placebo I could get.

We got out of the car and walked to the back garden. I knew almost immediately that Peter had been ‘infected’ again. He had no threshold in that house. It was time to kick butt!

I didn’t do any more question dowsing, the good fortune at the DIY store was enough for me. The world doesn’t test our faith. It is we that should test it. So I had faith that I had got a good sign and now I was about to follow it. I prepped Peter for his part in the ceremony and we began.

1. We began by creating a pyre for the diaries in the back garden. We didn’t light it right then but waited unitl we completed the rest of the work.
2. Then I went around the house and lit candles at each of the power centres. “Take me to each power centreA place where a person of a particular alignmentAlignment relates to the concept that humans have their own energy fields that are oriented or formed in a specific way such that the person is either suited better to one energy source of another.

The place is an energetic centre where a particularly beneficial combination and formation of energies is formed into a pattern that is harmonic with the person for whom it can be called a power centre. in the correct order for our task”, is what I asked for. There were 7 in the attic. Peter followed me (rather reluctantly at first but then got caught up in the ceremony of it all) and did his bit. It took ages to light all the 33 candles (I didn’t count them to be honest, I just walked and lit).
3. Then it was the incesne sticks, I lit them 5 at a time and placed them around the house as directed by the rods, and Peter followed doing his bit. Apart from 3 sticks which needed to be placed in the center-ish of the living room, the rest were placed pretty much next to candles. Three went in the attic, one of which was right above the the thing. Scary!
4. Of the two crystals, one was placed in the front exit and the other, again eeek, was placed ontop of the thing (I pushed it over it from a distance).

As we finished this, I felt certain that the tendrils from Peter had gone and I checked to confirm it. It had taken us about 1 hour and 20 minutes (the longest ceremony i’ve done) to set up the scene, now it was time to evict the previous resident. I asked to see where Peter needed to be and it was in the centre of the living room, where the incense sticks were. He did so and I went into the back garden.

I stood before the box of diaries and stilled myself to set my intention. It was time to kick this thing out of the house and for it to never return (which is what I had instructed Peter to think too). I then lit the diaries (which we had soaked with a bit of petrol). They went up in flames, in a rather satisfying way. As they reached the final embers I shouted in to Peter and a few seconds later I heard a satisfying slam of a door.

Was it done?

We waited until the incense sticks in the living room had gone out and then went around the home collecting all the candles, crystals and remains of incense. The house did feel a lot different and I didn’t mind going into the attic. The litmus test was of course the dowsing.

• Had the thing been banished from the home? Yes
• Had the negative energy tendrils and power centres been remmoved from the home?Yes, I didn’t expect a full yes from that to be honest.
• Had a protective threshold been established? Yes

It looked like it was a job well done, but if you’re wondering what Peters part had been then read on.

From the ‘sign’ in the DIY store I knew that Peter had to make his house his home. He had to create and strengthen its threshold. So as I went about the house lighting candles and incense, at each centre Peter infused the area with love. Whether it was a hug, kissing the ground, saying “I love my home” (it took me a long while to persuade him to do these, but I think a combination of the diaries, the sleepless nights and my unbending intent brought him into the spirit of the action plan). That is how we did it.

Then when I was burning the diaries, Peter was imaging the thing being dragged out of the attic (through the crystal) and down through each burning candle and out of the front door (through the crystal). And when I shouted to him, he had gone to the front door and slammed it shut. Sealing his “homes” threshold.

According to the rods, it had all worked great. I asked Peter to buy some plants for his home as the final test and left with the satisfacion of a job well done. And if the sun hadn’t set, i’m sure it would have shone out like a good-un.

As I walked out, I triple checked for any leprechaun residuals as well as tendrils, nothing. This wasn’t going to be like the horror movies where there is a last bit of unfinished business.

Continued from part II

Peter and I had just dragged a box from his attic (that had been left there by the previous owners of the house) into the garden and were just about to open it, when I stopped him. “Hang on whilst I dowse it.”

A note here about Peter, he is a guy that has never done any intentional energy work in his life and was not only skeptical but a “I have no clue either way” kind-of guy. So all of this story has to be filtered because I spent much time trying to persuade Peter to humour my little whims.

With that in mind, I dowsed the box and found that it was energetically significant. Had it any bad energy in it? No, but it did have male and female energies flowing from it. Odd really, because if I was dowsing it blind, I would have thought that it was a plant or some kind of sacred stone (in a stone circle).

What it didn’t have was any of the “Evil” energy from the thing that was (I checked) still in the attic. Ok, I was fairly convinced that it would be OK to open the box and look through, so we did.

The box contained some musty old notebooks. Six of them and what seemed like some bric-a-brac. I picked out one of the books and leafed through it. It was a diary/journal of some girl. I will call her Jenny but that wasn’t the name in the books.

From the information in the books we found that she was probably in her late teens and had lived in the house with her father and mother. What was abundantly clear from the diaries was that she and her mother were physically (and emotionally) abused by her father on a weekly basis. It was heart wrenching to read her accounts of the beatings that she had had throughout her child hood.

I would put some words of hers here but it doesn’t feel right to do so so I won’t. I will say that her details of the events was graphic to the point of detailing where, when and how she and her mother had been beaten.

In my previous energy experience, I have come across energies that have lingered in places of violence and it wasn’t a big leap to think that the many energy points in the home (see Part I) where places that this mother and daughter were abused.

What a turn of events and so sad too. Both Peter and I turned aside as we read these diaries. I think he was crying too. In honesty, I didn’t read them all, nor one whole one in total. What I was wondering was, “What is going on here?”

It seemed clear that emotional energy had been infused into the writing of the books, but so? Why had it stayed there? I also dowsed and confirmed that the “thing” in the attic (Gosh! What a cliche) was feeding of this energy. I asked whether there were any shades involved? No. That was good, I’m trying to get out of ‘shadey’ territory.

Peter was rivetted by the diaries and as he continued to read, I looked through the remainder items in the box. There were some jewelry type stuff, hair pins, some rusted rings, hair brush. Nothing that stood out. A quick bit of dowsing confirmed the following:

• Yes, the negative energy centres in the house were related to where the mother and daughter had been abused.
• Yes, the diaries were a source of emotional energy
• Yes, the thing in the attic was feeding of the emotional energy
• Yes, it was affecting Peter in a significant way (see note below).

The negative energy that was leaking into the house from the attic was from the Thing, not from the diaries. Though they had emotional energy in them, the main cause was this entity that was leaching the energy out and then pushing bad energy into the house.

An interesting thing I learned was that another person had to be in the house too, kind of like a catalyst, for the energy transfer to take place. I think this is a really important find. Worth exploring later.

On learning that Peter was significantly affected, I did what I should have done right at the beginning of this exploration and asked about him. Tell me about your life? I asked. do you feel lucky? Do you get ill often? How are you emotionally. Relationships?

I was interested in anything that might be caused by the energy goings on in his home. He told me about his life, It was pretty average I have to say. The only thing that caught my attention was the nightmares. He said that he often had nightmares but couldn’t remember the details. I latched on to that and asked the rods whether these were caused by the energies in the home? A big YES.

As an aside, I learned that Peter’s energy was being subtly changed by the environmental energies and that soon it would be manifesting in a physical way. Oh dear! Since I am currently fascinated by thresholds, I asked Peter if he considered this house his home? He was surprised by the question and replied that, strangely enough, he didn’t. Here then is the story of the House of Peter….

Before Peter moved in, a family of mother, father and daughter lived in the house. I don’t know about the earlier years, but for the last four/five years of being in that house, the daughter and mother had been abused mentally and physically. This abuse had been carried out in various places in the house. All of this was evidenced by the entries in the diary

At about 3 years before they moved out of the house the “thing” in the attic moved in. Interestingly it had come in by being attached to the daughter from someplace. It didn’t move into the attic, but moved around the different rooms of the house, settling on the negative energy spirals.

An interesting point was, and this made me really angry, it had caused some beatings by being in a particular spot in a room. So it not only fed on the negative energy but also created them by causing arguments (see note below).

The family moved out of the house and it was empty for a while. During this time the thing moved into the attic because that was where the greatest concentration of energy was. But it couldn’t feed on it effectively because (for some reason) it needed a living person in the mix.

Peter then bought the house and moved in. Interestingly Peter was attracted to this house because of an energy alignmentAlignment relates to the concept that humans have their own energy fields that are oriented or formed in a specific way such that the person is either suited better to one energy source of another.

What didn’t help was that Peter had recently gone through a divorce and was suffering from emotional issues (I learned this by dowsing, obviously Peter didn’t know anything about energies).

When Peter moved in, the thing had another ‘victim’ to use as a catalyst to feed of the energy of the previous emotions and now the ‘aligned’ energies of the new comer. Oddly it seems that it fed through a living being, hmmm like perhaps the living person was a straw through which it fed.

Over the 2.5 years that Peter had lived in the house it had fed and released negative energies in the house. This negative energy release is a natural process for the thing. It is like spreading manure. It helps create more ‘appetising’ bad emotions.

And thus we arrive at today. The above was all found either through the diary notes or dowsing for answers. Some of it was written in hindsight with the information that was gained that very evening. The sun was setting, we had been at it for 4 hours and I was knackered. I wanted some more answers though:

Was I able to clean out the house and thing? YES, Curiously, an easy “yes” considering it was a -10! So I double checked. Was the thing still at a -10? No, it was a -6 because the diaries had been removed. Cool. So did I need some stuff to help? Yes. I went through my usual list and apparently everything was needed! Seriously?

Since it was now down to a -6 I felt okay to leave Peter for the night and would come back tomorrow evening to kick this things ass. Oh by the way, again I didn’t tell Peter the details of it, remembering the Placebo.

Saying my goodbyes and doing a quick energy bombAn energy bomb is (for me) the pulling in of energy from the surrounding environment and then causing an explosive release. It is highy effective against Leprechaun Energy but not so much against energetic draining energies and shades. to be safe, I left thinking all was going good. That was my mistake!
