An Odd Experience

Hello, everyone!

I’m hoping someone can shed some light on this unsettling incident.

Last September, my daughter and I drove to my hometown for my high school reunion. My daughter volunteered to drive, as I don’t do well on freeways or in city traffic.

We are both interested in family genealogy, and there is an old mausoleum in town where the ashes of my maternal grandparents and a few other family members are interred. I remember visiting this place as a child several times a year with my mother and grandmother. They would bring flowers to put on my grandfather’s niche. The place always gave me the creeps, which I chalked up to my imagination, and from knowing it was filled with the remains and ashes of dead people.

We decided to visit it so that my daughter could see her great-grandparents’ urns. I hadn’t been there in decades, but was still surprised that admittance was now by appointment only. Previously, the mausoleum was open regular hours every day. The building looked severely neglected, with dirt and greenish grime covering the exterior, and the asphalt driveway that circled through the portico at the building entrance was mostly disintegrated. On top of all that, being there still gave me a serious case of the creeps.

We tried unsuccessfully to get an appointment that day and ended up walking around the building and peering through the windows. We could see some of the niches from outside and thought we had identified the one we were looking for. At this point, I was feeling increasingly uneasy and suggested we should leave. As we were standing there talking, I noticed a drop of blood suddenly appear on my daughter’s right forearm and begin to trickle down. At the same instant, my daughter looked at her arm and said she felt something scratch her. She used a tissue to stop the bleeding, and there was a visible scratch on her arm. (It subsequently formed a scab and, a few days later, had healed.) The place where we were standing was open ground with no trees, shrubs, bushes, fences, or other structures that could have caused the scratch.

My daughter wants to make an appointment to visit the mausoleum the next time we are in town, but I’m not so sure if that is a good idea. Does anyone have any thoughts on this event or the wisdom of returning there?

Thanks for any insights and/or advice.

Merry Morning Thomas,

WOW!! That is DEEP. I am not sure how to address this. It sounds like there may be a negative entity there, but your daughter does not seem afraid. I would visit again. Maybe someone needs y’all’s attention. Maybe your daughter will be able to receive the message. Who knows. But, since she is NOT fearful and was the one who was injured, I would say Go For It.

Merry Part and welcome!! Lady Gene

Merry Meet Again, Lady-Gene!

Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply.

You are correct that my daughter was not afraid. She was more put out by being attacked, but also a bit amused that such a thing should happen to her. My desire to leave was prompted more by an intense and uncomfortable presence I felt (I really don’t know how else to describe it) than by actual fear. My concern about returning has more to do with the level of danger such an entity could present. But I’m willing to give it another go, as I know my daughter is. And she’s more than likely to have some choice words for the entity as well…lol.

Regarding any possible danger, do you think a protection spell would be in order? Unfortunately, I’m relatively new to this type of thing and not entirely sure how to proceed.

Blessed Be!

Merry Meet Again Likewise, Thomas,

I am a little concerned that this bothers you so much. Would you be willing to accompany her to the area, but not the actual museum? It sounds like something may have happened in the past there that you have repressed. Enough of my pshychobabble. As for protection spell, absolutely!!! There are many types, personally, I do not go in for all the “goodies” associated with witchcraft, because I figures in the olden days most of these gadgets weren’t even available. For protection, I like to invoke/chant/speak to the spirit of turles and tortoises. I have two chants that I use for them (feel free to use or adapt as you see fit) I have 2 special turtle knickknacks….and as I rub my hand on them I will say….tortoise in your shell, protect my family very well….or I say, turtle with your shell, safe inside, protect my family far and wide…..I also have a charged word DOME. I have charges and consecrated it, so that in a pinch when I need protection NOW, I chant in my head, DOME, DOME, DOME……I try to stay the easiest, least items, uncumbersome, I like to keep this small anyway, I even have a portable altar and tarot cards….haha :joy: I really don’t know/use any others, but maybe a knot spell. I love the knot spell and have used it 3 times this year with result each time from next day to the 3rd day (after untying the knots). Take a string (what every you have, remember, easy) make one knot in the middle and in you case, say maybe…..with this knot of one, we will be harmed by none, as you tie the knot; then go to one end and say with this knot of two, all evil will shoo, as you tie the know; then the other end say, with this knot of three, we will be “let be”. Sleep on it literally for 3 nights. Put it under your pillow, in the pillow case, or where I put it, head level between the mattress and boxsprings. After the 3 nights, unknot and again chant/spell/rhyme. Untie in the same order as you tied it up. Untie knot one and say, knot of one, this spell has begun…..knot of two, I know you will be true….knot of three….as it I see, so mote it be. This knot spell has worked EVERY time for me. After unknotting, starting that day to within 3 days to start to see results. I sure hope this helps you Thomas.

Have a Good Rest…..Lady Gene

Merry Meet, Lady-Gene!

Once again, I thank you for your helpful reply.

Of the protection spells you suggested, I feel a special attraction to the one involving knots. I don’t know when we’ll have the next opportunity to visit the mausoleum, but I’ll definitely want to use it when we do. I also want to practice with it beforehand, whenever anything comes up for which it might prove useful, and so that I get thoroughly familiar with working with it.

I’m sorry if my wording may have given the impression that this event frightens me unreasonably. It actually doesn’t. I’m quite willing to go back there and even to walk through the building. It’s just that I seem to be extra sensitive to the presence of whatever is there, and the pressure can feel quite strong, although not fear-inducing. My desire for a protection spell is only what I consider a reasonable precaution. After all, whatever this thing is, it did technically draw blood…:grimacing:

Again, thank you for taking the time and effort to answer my questions. You are much appreciated!

My best wishes to you,

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

I suggest practicing the knot spells for binding or getting rid of any negativity. I used it once to stop a caller, and immediately, from 5 calls a day, to not a one, now for almost 8 months. So, try it with something easy, and see how it goes for you. It works for me quite well.

Now, that you told me, I am not worried. I think I understand where you are coming from. Well, like I said, go visit again, this time with protection/binding at your side.

Merry Part, Happy Super Cold Moon Lady Gene :full_moon: :magic_wand:

(Edited because I wrote this a little too quickly the first time. :sweat_smile: )

I’ve been gone here for a minute - Thomas you have a way of posting topics that are right in my wheelhouse! lol!

A few things could be going on here, but firstly I would not take that draw of blood lightly. I would also advise you to brush up on your self-protection for you and your daughter before you visit there again. There are two things I would recommend specifically - the Shield of Protection ritual I wrote here:

Shield of Protection Ritual - Witchcraft - The Pagan Grimoire Coven

And wearing an object of pure silver (especially consecrated silver - which can either be done by yourself - or by another witch or priest - around your neck. (And for your daughter too.) I can suggest a ritual if you don’t have one.

Now that being said, I actually agree in that it’s not a bad idea to return to the mausoleum. Your relatives resting there will appreciate the visit, and there may be more to what’s going on than just the entity that attacked your daughter. I say not to take the blood lightly because no benevolent being draws blood - and the power it takes for a non-corporeal to do so is actually a lot. Usually it is a sign of an angry restless spirit… but it could also be something worse. Not saying that to scare you, just so you know. If you proceed with caution and do nothing to piss it off, you should be fine… There’s a story there, for sure. I admit you have me very curious!

Cheers and may the divine protect you ~ :black_heart:

Hello, Wren!

It’s good to hear from you again.

I agree that self-protection is advisable for a return visit to the mausoleum. To that end, I’ve downloaded a copy of your Shield of Protection ritual so that I can study it online or off. It’s very clearly written, easy to understand, and to follow. So, thank you for that.

Regarding items made of silver, I have a couple of 1/4-ounce 0.999 fine silver rounds that should serve the purpose. I would, however, appreciate a copy of your consecration ritual, as I don’t have one and am not familiar with any local witches or priests. Given the number of books on witchcraft in our rural local library (several hundred), there must be other like-minded folk around, but they don’t appear to advertise themselves.

Another point about the silver items: do they need to be worn around the neck? Or, can they be carried in some other way? Fitting them for neckwear will be difficult.

In closing, you mentioned that there’s a story in this incident. That reminded me of a detail I omitted from my initial post, as I didn’t think it was relevant. But now I’m not so sure.

As mentioned originally, we went there to see my grandparents’ niche. During her family research on the Find-A-Grave website, my daughter discovered another family member interred there. This was the husband of one of my grandmother’s sisters. He had been a baker in life and owned a bakery. The photo of his niche on the website made it appear that his ashes were in an old-fashioned, dark brown, glazed crock pot. My daughter and I thought it humorous that he would be buried in a crock pot, so, while we were standing outside the mausoleum talking, we were wisecracking about the crock pot cum burial urn, and that was when the blood appeared. So, maybe we pissed him off, or perhaps it was something else. At any rate, that, as the late Paul Harvey used to say, “is the rest of the story.”

Blessed Be, always!

It doesn’t have to be around the neck, but it would be wise to attach it to you somehow. An angry enough spirit, or a powerful entity like a demon or trickster can remove it from you otherwise. The idea is just that it’s a solid piece of pure silver or sterling silver with a sturdy chain or cuff to attach it that’s worn under your shirt - a solid silver metal armband, torc/neckring, or arm ring are other options.

I’m afraid I just don’t have time to write a consecration ritual here, it’s gotten very difficult to keep up with the forum. :frowning: But they’re not an obscure ritual - you should have no problem finding them online.

Details, man! Especially when they’re those little moments where you think “oh, but surely not-”, because that’s just your logic overriding your true knowledge - your intuition!

With this new part of your story I now have confirmation on what I was initially picking up on. This time it came through me from the veil very strongly…

If you want confirmation that these things do matter, well here it is.

If you wish return to the mausoleum, and do it right - you should clear your karma with this spirit. Do some meditation on why you felt the need to disrespect the dead at their place of rest. Find that mental place and make your peace with it, and state your intention that you are going to make it right with this spirit. Your daughter needs to do this since she will be joining you. This first step is important too because spirits are kind of masters at picking up on any of your B.S.)

Then prepare a peace offering to have ready on the day of your next visit - the more thought that goes into this offering, the better. Accompany it with decorations and prepare any words you wish to say in advance. Then enter the mausoleum and present the offering at their niche. When you do get to this part - make every effort to stay calm and collected no matter what you may feel - focus on the intent that you are here to make amends. He will not be happy to see you at first, (obviously). If it’s received well, then you should feel a noticeable shift in the energy. If he’s stubborn it may take a few tries, or it may be because you’re not being genuine, or it may be that the other issues with that place are too great, (I’m not going to get into those 'cause they’re out of your power to fix.) Ultimately with time, without committing any more offense, he should forgive you and let you visit your grandparents in peace.

But really it’s all up to you.

I will calmly repeat here what I’ve tirelessly told so many people - always show respect for the dead. Even if it’s not at their resting place, they may visit you from time to time - but especially at their place of rest - always show respect. Unless you want to be disrespected in return, in which case - FAFO!

Good afternoon.
