Aimee, I have a question for you about your witchy experiences. I believe you've taken psych if I remember correctly. The spells or experiences of seeing things, has that conflicted with your education? Being an analytical person, seeking underlying meanings and truth, I guess I wonder if supernatural experiences have a psychological origin. I am just wonder how you rectify it.
Alright Miss Arwen, I was a psych major, and I was practicing while I was a psych major. I never thought I was schizophrenic or anything like that because I knew as I was dealing with. I wasn't one of those witches who just hugged trees or claimed to know the Goddess or other such low level nonsense. I knew what I was seeing and where I got my power from was dark and demonic. I was one of the few I knew who wasn't deceived about it.
I think most people who see demons, dark figures, etc are mentally ill. However, I also know that the demonic will mess with people. You have to keep in mind the Enemy is SO SMART! They know what they're doing. Anyone who thinks the Enemy is stupid is themselves, well... stupid. We're facing something that has studied humans forever, they never sleep, they have reinforcements, so of course they are several steps ahead of us. Many things have psychological origins, but when it comes to spiritual stuff I'd like to quote The Usual Suspects.
"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
