shadowpeople and the like

ah. thanks. yea, while i've read about these things, i've never encountered a negative creature. her dad had an aciedent that left him without his legs and ever since he's been getting more and more depressed. i'm not sure how much help i could be, since i only have knowledge on mythical beings, no first hand experience except for spirits.

A shadow self would not go away from a banishment, considering it is created by the person and is a part of them. It would be a good way to rule out other things. White is right that it would get rid of most lesser entities. She is also right in the fact that your friend should not let it attach itself to her.

I would try the banishment and if it does not work seek help from a healer. An emotional/psychological healing can do wonders if it is a "shadow".

I don't know alot about them either but just this morning I was talking to myself in the mirror just thinking out load until I felt like something was watching me from the doorway so i quickly turned back and saw the silloette of a tall man he was a bit wide as well, it surprised me but I kept calm and inside I became aware of fear and a chill shock but I just ignored it like with alot of other things I see because I'm not sure how to go about the situation..... So do these beings mean harm?
I feel safe enough to go about my day and I also feel like I have an friendly spirit that follows me and sometimes when I think outloud I feel as if it is listening and sometimes I feel a hand on my back or left shoulder its usually on my left side... So yeah whats this about?

Try a blessing, I've seen and done a few with sage brush, it helps dispel with the smoke from it, best of luck ok

thanks, my friends father doesn't believe in magic, so we can't give him a charm, or blessing because he won't accept it. her family is strange, half her family are some type of naturalist or witch [she's an elementalist] and the others are more atheist. i'll be bringing all my books and herbs/incense, hopefully i can mix something up.

it's a really dumb idea on my part, i'm tempted to bring my ouija board, NOT TO TALK TO IT, but if Rori's coming along [since he's attached to me] he's pretty weak and i've started using the board to charge him, and if anything goes wrong and he gets attacked because apparently this thing has dispelled my friends two spirits and her shadowperson, so i'm a little worried if it attacks Rori because he's not strong to do more than stick next to me and maybe say a work or two. she won't let me though because she had a bad experience with them, and i don't want the shadowperson using it.

@ ravens101, it could be a shadowman, try the cleansing or banishment, but just ignore it and it will leave, it can't harm you physically, and only if you let it mentally/emotionally.

If you have access to it, bittersweet ( a form of belladonna ) is surprisingly effective against most negative energies and entities. If you cant do anything magical, perhaps you could convince them to at least hang the vines above the windows and doors. Don't burn or eat it, because it is a neurotoxin. It is one of the oldest and most effective methods I have come across for getting rid of negative energy from both other witches, and entities.

Sorry I did not mention it earlier. My brain has been busy on a few other things XD

thats fine, i'll let her know :D i don't have any, i haven't found a place that stocks belladonna, or anything similar. most of my herbs are for healing teas. i do have yarrow kicking around i never use.

what is happening to your friends dad is something that i have seen before, what you have may or may not be what im about to tell you, but it may not be a shadow person, it may be someone by the name of Raven. he was been bothering my friend. i looked up info on Raven and it turns out, Raven is a Native American god of misfortune that feeds of off people till the person dies or he finds a better victim. like i said before, it can be raven, im not sure. but if it is, your friend has a serious problem...

iRane, I wasn't referring to the "shadow self" but a "shadow" aka negative thoughtform created by accumulated negative energy.

He lost his legs? I think you should look up "soul loss" and see if his symptoms match.

shadow people arnt easy to get rid of. the person who it is attach to has to doing a full cleansing of them and the home...
