Hi all, I'm a bit of a lurker on the boards, but thought I might share somthing that has been going on in my life that has really made me think.

Recently, a friend offered to give me a healing because she'd picked up I was very down. I didn't think much about it, until during my healing (which involved alot of chatting lol), and all of this 'stuff just cam e bubbling out about things that had been happening around me. Including my husband acting in ways that were so out of character (He's a shaman and probably one of the most dependable people on this planet)
So my friend asked me about my protection practices and about all the psychic hygiene. Having been on this path, I was fairly comfortable in what I do, and to be perfectly honest, never saw myself as a 'target' from other people & their issues. (bang)

It seems I vastly under protected myself from glamouries - something I never put any stock in, thinking it was all a bit too 'The Craft (love the movie btw)). I found out the hard way that there have been several people around me, including one woman whao has been influencing my husband in order to cause me harm. He was behaving the way she wanted him to, was parroting word for word what she was saying to him. I don't believe she wants my hubby, more it's a way to get to me. Conscious or unconscious, I'm not sure. There is a whole lot more to the story but would take a month to type it all down lol. Then there are some other people with jealousy issues. By the Goddess, I just didn't, or wouldn't allow myself to see it coming. My ego thought it knew better.

It's a good lesson to learn - that not everyone will live by the code of not harming others, even those who appear to be loving, friendly or caring. And not everyone is aware of how they are operating.

So in order to take back my power, and retrieve the safety and protection of my home and family, I did a huge cleansing rite, and named the perpetrators. I told them I will not tolerate what they have done, and that it will not continue. When my family came home afterwards, the comment from my eldest son was that the house smelt of fresh flowers (they didn't know what I had done) Score one for mum! hh)

Over the next few days, I observed my husband, and it's been like a cloud lifted from him. Without me saying anything, he's been questioning his own behaviour, and in truth we are closer now than before (after 19 years of being together) ab) I've told him what I know, and he's said what he picked up when he set up protection around the border of our property.

As to the justice I called on the Universe to provide, well I am getting little pieces of information back about various people, including a certain lady who's suddenly got no interest in speaking to mu hubby any more, and whose own relationship came to a crashing end this week. I don't feel happy about it, kind of sad really, but I just called for justice, it was up to the Universe how it was dispensed.
(evil1) however, satisfaction, yes I am feeling that!

I guess it's a good reminder to never be complacent about looking after yourself, your loved ones and you possessions. You just never know when you may need to defend them. But I just love the ways a witch can go about setting things right!

Very inspiring, Aramanthea. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful story with us, and I'm glad everything had turned out for the better!

I have an update on this little story

Since we only just found out that this young lady's romance went on the rocks, both my husband and I snet her a message. His was a general 'How're you" type of thing, whereas mine was specific and expressed sympathy for what she's been through and offer of help if she needs it. (oops)

He recieved a 5 page sms of her most innermost thoughts...... my response has been zero - no 'thanks' or anything. Seems I must have been 'heard' when I did the cleansing. runaway

Oh well, I did say that I was willing to accept the consequences that come from doing a cleansing. That also includes accepting that those we may have considered friends, really aren't once the masks are removed Thinking (boo)

Hi,

It's great that you were able to bring about the change that you needed and lift the cloud that was hovering around you.
I was born a natural healer and not that long ago I found that I had more and more people telling me about protecting myself more. I was so reluctant because I didn't want to sheild myself from those that needed my help or for myself I felt like I might be missing something. However when I finally made the choice to start "protecting" myself more I was amazed. I am now able to step back from situation I would have gotten more involved in and am still able to offer the help that is needed without feeling like I am blocking myself off or being influenced by unbalanced energies. It is such a great gift and I congratulate you on your accomplishments.
