I dated this guy for a year. During this time, i have felt absolutely compelled to be with him and constantly think about him. Not normal for me. I questioned, tried to leave him and always ended up staying with him believing we had a soul tie and our relationship was meant to be. I went to China for two weeks last of may and 1st week of June. Apparently, that was far enough away to break some of the compulsions he had put on me. When I got back he was angry about the trip and I was tired of negative energy around me sapping away my will. It also became apparent he was using me for money to entertain him on trips and such. As I started trying to push him away, I started having bouts of excruciating fear-no idea where it was coming from, I feared losing my mind. We meditated together and I glimpsed disturbing visions from his mind. I was terrified and determined to break it off with him for good. His meddling inside my mind has activated my own gift that I turned off in childhood. I could feel his energy inside of my brain, releasing emotions, sending thoughts...it hurt, bad. I told a psychic I met at a Wicca website about what I was feeling. I started shielding or trying to. At first it had no effect. A couple of times it worked well enough to keep him off during the night but he got right back in during the day. I went to my sisters trying to put distance between us. 264 miles...not enough. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like my brain was being cooked. this continued for another week with me trying to hold it together at work enough to function. I ended up running across the country trying to get away and get help. I went to a Shaman healer in Oklahoma, she cleared much of what he had put in my energy and broke what soul ties she found. Unfortunately for me I had got pissed off about the whole thing the night before and decided to fight fire with fire so I attacked him with my mind and basically tried to kill him but when it came right down to actually doing it I couldn't. I paid for that by having a demon sicked on me. This demon lives in him and has people all across the country tied into it. I have felt and seen this.
Carol Pate gave me a lifting prayer that brought angels to fight the demon but the psychic attacks continue. I believe he is also using voodoo. I shield and pray everyday, I do not accept the energy, I do not accept dominion over me in any fashion or form. Why does this thing continue to haunt me? Is there a way to stop it? It has offered all it has to temp me and I have refused and yet it continues.
Any help, advise, knowledge, etc is greatly appreciated
Thank you and may we all walk in Light, Love and Laughter. Jo

Jo,

I wanted to offer my opinions/suggestions on your message. First, I think this is a great place for anyone to ask for advice, because I firmly believe in the practical nature of Witchcraft (and Paganism). One of my favorite quotes is from an Inuit shaman who said "we follow our ancestor's rules because they work. They protect us so we can live without worry" (http://www.youtube.co.... I believe that Witchcraft has many purposes, but one of them certainly is help us to make our lives better.

That said, I have to mention that what I say here is only my opinion. I offer it for your review, in hopes that something in it will be useful. I don't mean that as a legal disclaimer, or even a spiritual one. Simply that all our spiritual Paths are different, and so what works for me might not work for you, or at least, not in the same way. I have been officially Pagan since 2006, but I have always been on my Path. And the fact that I knew exactly how to conduct my personal Rite of Initiation into Paganism with no previous research or Pagan contacts shows, I think, that I was following my true Nature at last. But that was only 6 years ago. 6 years is not enough time to become an expert in the many diverse Pagan traditions, or even in one. But there are things I do know. (And if it's not too late to save myself from the appearance of arrogance, I would say that all of us learn, every day, though none of us have learned it all. And so we all simultaneously make good teachers, and good students.)

So, to my opinion as to your dilemma: first of all, I must mention that when people harass, show up unwanted on your property, or do any of the other things that qualify as harassment or threatening behavior, contact the local police. They are experienced inn dealing with such things, and can advise you better than I. Likewise, there are many other sources, friends, therapists, community leaders, family, etc., which have varied expertise to offer. (I mention that not for my protection so much as the fact that my personal method for dealing with problems is to look at as many sources as possible. Plus, just because I'm a Witch, doesn't mean I won't try something as mundane as the legal system to resolve a conflict.)

In your message, you mention: (1) feeling compelled to be with him, (2) "bouts of excruciating fear" when you tried to push him away, (3) seeing disturbing visions from him in meditation, (4) psychic attacks, (5) and a demon. You mentioned voodoo as well. I know a little of Voodoo. In Haiti, the favorite tree of a certain Loa was cut down by the local priests and authorities some time back, because it was too often used in vengeance magic. An author in Haiti, writing of this Loa, said that her "customers are mostly people that are constantly embroiled in disputes with their friends or neighbors-- people who always have enemies and who are continually involved in some argument". In my opinion, vengeance is not the nature of Voodoo, but people of a vengeful nature might express their destructive energies through Voodoo. But Voodoo doesn't have a corner on the market where the destructive side of human behavior is concerned. The man who was music minister of the church I grew up in when I was there, is now a convicted sex offender.

My opinion is, don't be distracted by details of attacks and circumstances. So long as you have availed yourself of the police and other resources where appropriate, then my advice is this: I personally would not waste my time looking across the globe for some obscure and powerful solution to undo the forces working against you. That gives them far too much credit. I think... that the most powerful force working in your life.. will always be YOU. My suggestion is simple and difficult at the same time. Your life belongs to you, and you have power over it. There are limits of course-- I can't make myself 25 years old again, and my financial future will always show the effects of my past choices, but-- in matters of psychic influence and attack... then only connections that others maintain to me are those that I allow. The solution, in my opinion (there's that cowardly phrase again), involves simply, an act of will. If a psychic connection to me exists that I don't want, I can simply reach out and break it, and it's gone. I might create a spell or ritual to help me focus my will on the task, but the power comes from within me (those positive, loving connections in my life will automatically be involved too). Sure, that other person may not want to let it go. If he breaks the law, call the cops. Seek the support of your friends, family, and community. But-- if anyone else psychically has power over you-- it's because, in some way, you gave that power to them. You are the master of your own life. Breaking a psychic connection is like turning off a light switch.

Now, to the hard part. The solution is an act of will. Sometimes our will is not quite "with the program". In my case, when I was a kid, some people convinced me that I needed their religion to be "ok". So I gave them control of my life. I knew that they were wrong, but it took me until the age of 44 to truly believe that they were wrong. All my efforts to break free before I believed in myself, were futile. Once I truly did believe in myself, it was easy. My belief marshaled the power I already had, had always had, and so what had appeared to be a powerful connection suddenly dissolved easily.

This is what I think, and this is how it has worked for me.

Be well, and be safe. Blessings, and a fine day to you.

Michael,

thank you for your words. I have found this truth....finally. Then I read your reply.
I like the way you described it as "Sometimes our will is not quite "with the program"
Spot on.

Blessings to you.
Jo

That's great. Freedom is a wonderful thing.
Be well, and be Blessed.
