I've been told by a friend during ritual that I was possessed. He said it was a wraith. I think it was just an aspect of myself he was seeing, and that possession wasn't the order of the day.

I transcend to altered states of consciousness very easily, so possession is something I look out for while performing certain rituals. Basic protection spells and my totem keep those mostly at bay. Plus, just because something comes to pay you a visit doesn't mean it's settling down. Transient possession can give your magic great power, and it's something I don't encourage fearing.

How do I get possessed? Sounds exciting and new. like the Love Boat but inside my body.

possession a good thing for magic?

they thrive of the magic, it's not your magic you're using but their's, once you've been tainted they don't leave easy and unless you have some, immunity; often times it's not nice when you do try to break way. Who wants to lose a free meal that tastes so good...and you can play with in cruel and unusual ways?

personally i really don't think the demon sort are really so eager to jump into a human body..i could understand maybe a temp thing to experience physical sensation, but unless they'd have a point to make in tearing down that person, i can't imagine why else they would...

to be possessed...

first, play with some quija board, spirit board or other spirit portal, make sure to get the attention of a bored, nasty spirit that hates humans, and invite them on in...

first, they'll tear down your will, either terror, sexuality or other affliction they'll leave you weak, eager, and easy pickings...next they force themselves into your body, shoving your soul, will and yourself into some little box that may or may not be safe, left to be used at their whim...now that you're completely possessed and your once free will, that leaves you with the power of being human, is now a shade of you watching another creature enjoy your life...in ways that you may not like doing or seeing, yet powerless to do anything but accept the responsiblity, thoroughly destroying your life and the lives of anyone you may care about.

the funny thing about magic and demonologic arts is that you never know who you're really talking to, but if they want to take over your life, they mean you no good; if they really mean you good, they will enrich and lift your life, not keep it and leave you wanting more.

Albeit one would have to be very weak for that to happen, and not closing doors behind one's self is a large part of that. All I can hear in my head when I do that kind of ritual is my mom asking me if I was raised in a barn

the weak like the inexperienced are easy, it's the strong ones with a lot of passion they really enjoy, entrapping...whatever they are, they like a challenge.

Only real person I've known to really be attacked psychically by another person and possibly an unseen entity used to do ritual while using psychotropic drugs. Big problem there, in my book. I don't narc on anyone for doing their thang, but when your thang ends up with you coming down and not knowing what the hell you did time and time again, bad things are bound to happen.
Altered states can be fun, but you have to remain somewhat grounded, or at least still be able to see the ground. Which is why I do circles and use my head as well as my heart in magic.
Who used to be a really dear friend of mine turned into a megalomaniac, and also turned abusive against himself (read:cutting) and others. One could argue that the underlying cause of the drug use caused the other traits, but it was a major shift over a short period of time. He let someone or something have too much control. Once they've gone that far, the best thing to do is let them go.

i've heard so many possessed/terrorized stories from people that i eventually grew sick and tired of the cliche mess the occult's becoming.

demons will prey upon you any way they can, no matter how nice and helpful they are...you get slightlly better service from devils, but they expect a lot more for their services.

anyone who thinks they can control something no one understands, is indeed a better witch than i ever was, i played with the silly things for years...and was never sure what i was dealing with, fortunately things righted for me.

but peope who think possession is fun, pleasurable or a path to power; isn't thinking clearly, how can you have power over anything, if you don't control your own body and mind, how does a person know when the creatures ever really leave, and addiction can be as binding as any pact, why deal with things you need external forces, other than your own free will to protect yourself from; what happens when a chain breaks?

it's not always easy to just, let them go.

Anybody who thinks Possession is real, feasible, or within the realm of possibilities, needs to grow up.

Or stop watching the exorcist every night.

I welcome the skeptic point of view when considering these things. There is evidence which exists to prove demonic possession, written by occultists and clergy alike.
However, relating my personal experience is just that.
I am a grown adult.
I am a practitioner of the art of magic.
There are some rituals that I perform on a regular basis which call upon beings to accept my body/energy as a host.
I acknowledge all risk when I perform these rites, and my will is aligned with the proper energies to do so without harm.
If you disagree with the concept, please try to do so with tact, although humor is also appreciated.

Oh yes. I was praying to Jesus one night and apparently asking for hookers displeases him...so...an angel appears to tell me this. I'm tripping my @$$ off because I just ate a whole bag of shrooms. Well to make a long story short..Hell isn't as bad as you'd think. STDs for all.
Come get some.

Actually, it is a feasable proposition. Also within the realm of possibilities as well.

It has just been a very misdiagnosed condition. Schizophrenia and multiple personality disorders are both a form of possession. The leading personality loses control to an inferior personality and is therefore possessed.

Scientifically speaking it may not be the occult idealism of possession and yet it is very real in its own way.

The most beautiful possession is by the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna!

I don't think I've been possessed. I had a minister tell me I was once though....which was really strange. Awkward moment followed after that, then I left. Haven't been back to that church since. lmao

Possesion is very possible, from both god and lucifers sides. The god one is the safer one, where the lucifer one is lank dangrous. That "scary movie" The Exorcist is so stupid to what really happens to these people.

why in the world would anything Godly possess us?

they couldn't make us do anything without violating our free will....or they'd be violating His will, most dealing with this realm of demonolgoy should know what happened to the groups of His hosts that ignored His rules about us and them. Something from God wouldn't need to possess those who believe, He speaks to them through their heart or heralds, and why would He bother with people who don't believe, He has enough followers for that.

what does really happen to "these people"?

is it like those preachers that lay their hand on a possessed follower that suddenly falls down and flops a bit suddenly making some grunting noises and weird voices before waking up with no urge to smoke, drink or swear, because the demons that were possessing them were rebuked?

i've seen it on television!

scott peck is interesting...but i'm not sure that people with bad habits or personality disorders are all infused with demonic possession...back to blaming intangible entities for good old fashioned human weakness and our addictive natures.

Mmm... possesion. beautiful controversial topic that it is...
apparently I was possesed. Truth is I was just having anxiety attacks.

And, people are gonna believe what they want to believe. Mind-Over-Matter. if they believe they're posessed, with enough reinforcement, they'll begin to show signs.

Some people just need something to believe.

also. I agree about the "why the hell would something godly posess you?" thing...

My parents have seen domestic animals posessed. They started acting all wild. And circled my parents in a perfect circle. Their eyes were not animal but were human.
Mum freaked and prayed and the animals whimpered and broke away from the circle.
This happened on my parents honeymoon in Bali.


I had a similar experience but at WaiXai on the border of Laos at a Buddhist temple at about 110pm one night. Five dogs came out from nowhere and formed a perfect arch blocking me from the temple steps. They were all stirred up and looked wild, but they were barking in unison. I backed away because I didn't want to get bitten and get something from them. But after speculation I had to conclude, due to events, that they were possessed.

Creeped me out.

A good pastor friend of my dad's asked my dad to sit on a believer's chest. Both were confused as to why the pastor would ask such a weird claim but they did it.

The pastor seemed to have some prophetic insight into the guys family. The bloke, who my dad was sitting on, had a father who was into free-masonry.
The pastor then start calling 'demon 1 come out! demon 2 come out!' and they left him. They guy on the floor was definitely possessed and my dad was terrified. He had trouble keeping the guy down as he fought.

The most scariest spirit that spoke through this man begging the pastor was one that spoke through this man with a voice of a little girl. The man cried like a little girl and whimpered and sucked up to the pastor. When it realised it wasn't winning it chucked a tantrum but was cast.

21 demons were cast out of him. The same number that his father's level was at free-masonry. It mind boggles me and our family. Why this happens to Christians, they don't know.

I think mankind used to have freewill and then we sinned. I think our identity lies in one camp or the other but our freewill can go anywhere it wants either camp. Because we go to those camps
