Expert: Jason Date: 6/10/2008 Subject: Getting rid of negativity
Question My brother moved out of our house last summer after a lot of negativity. He and his girlfriend were essentially kicked out by my parents after they refused to follow the rules of the house. They both dabbled in the occult and alternative religions including Wiccan (mostly his girlfriend) and Satanism. My brother has participated in several Satanic rituals, but I don't know what about.
I recently moved into his old bedroom because it is larger than mine, but the whole place feels so negative and it scares me. I have very violent nightmares each night and I can't sleep at all without some light. The hours between one and four a.m. are often the worst.
I've used a smudging stick on the room before, but that was over six months ago. I was wondering if there's any way he could have invited in the negativity, and if there's any way you could recommend for me to get rid of it. I don't expect for you to give me any specific spells, but if you could recommend any sites or books for me to look into I would appreciate it.
Answer Dear Jaquelin,
Hello and that you for emailing me. Well, it sounds as if you are in quite the pickle. It isn't unfixable though, so I don't want you to go into a panic. Most Satanists are actually atheists and they do not even believe in the literal existence of these beings. However some people do get a thrill out of dabbling and it can cause some strange changes. It sounds like you do know of a couple of cleansing rituals already so I believe that you are ahead of the game. Smudging is an excellent way to rid an area of negativity and you can do it everyday if you want to. That could help enormously. The one thing that you are wrong about is that I can help you with some spells lol!. First of all, since you feel that maybe your brother may have called on some sinister forces it may help to call on some good ones. For example, if you are comfortable calling on angels, you may wish to dedicate a candle (either red or white would be appropriate) to Archangel Michael. He is said to be the warrior angel that gets rid of such forces. If you can find one with his picture on it, so much the better, they even have some in grocery stores now, at least where I live. If not don't fret. Just print one off of google and glue it to one of those glass seven day candles. If that is impossible, just dedicate some frankincense and myrrh to him. Just light the candle and/or incense and call to him in your mind. Ask him to remove the forces that your brother may have called up. Also, another spell that you can do in addition to, or instead of this spell (depending on religious preferences) involves some salt and some water. This is one of the first spells that I used. Take as many bowls of water as you have rooms in your house and place three pinches of salt in each. Over each bowl, say this chant or a similar one:
"Evil spirits harm not me or mine,
Your power sink into this brine."
Place one in the center of each room. Place the one that is for your bedroom under your bed, because you are having problems sleeping. Throw out the water in the morning and repeat every night until you feel peaceful in your own home. I hope that helps and please keep me posted. If you need more help please don't hesitate to contact me.
