Psychic attacks are not only a byproduct of hexes or spells, they can also come from a people or an unseen entity who intentionally focus negative energy towards you.<br /> <br /> More importantly, we can also draw these negative energies into our lives without any influence from external forces. This often occurs when we are being controlled by a self-defeating behavior. Therefore, the chances of becoming a victim of a psychic attack are high for people who are weak on a spiritual level.<br /> <br /> Here are the five common signs of psychic attack.<br /> <br /> <b>1. Sudden changes in behavior</b><br /> <br /> One of the ways to know if a person is under a psychic attack is by comparing his/her usual self and the sudden change in behavior, attitude or thinking. For example, for no apparent reason, you realize that you have been adopting some new behavior, or some changes in your personality, which do not make any sense.<br /> <br /> When you go over these changes, you find out that there is no root cause to these changes. Your friends or family even point out to you the difference; your current behavior and compare that to what you were. Let’s say that you are usually a positive person and yet suddenly you become depressive, for no reason at all. We can say that you are a victim of a psychic attack.<br /> <br /> <b>2. Never ending misfortunes</b><br /> <br /> First, you lost your job, and then your partner broke up with you, and a family member dies. You suddenly experience these series of unfortunate events and become miserable, knowing that you don’t deserve these string of bad luck. These circumstances usually happen when you are under a psychic attack, when you are a victim of a curse, or the target of <a href="https://blog.natureoz.com/2017/08/witchcraft-101.html" target="_blank">witchcraft</a>.<br /> <br /> <b>3. Ongoing fatigue for no reason</b><br /> <br /> If out of the blue and without cause you feel suddenly weak and drained, you may be under psychic attack.<br /> <br /> <b>4. Disturbing nightmares</b><br /> <br /> If you are having recurring nightmares, it may be a sign that someone or something is trying to make your life unpleasant. The psychic attack is manifested in your nightmares. You wake up feeling disturbed and edgy. You also lose sleep and become less productive.<br /> <br /> <b>5. Spirit possession</b><br /> <br /> I dealt with a young man who was being possessed by a malefic spirit. He started behaving strangely after killing a large monitor lizard, which lived by the seashore near their house. His condition began to worsen when he was exposed to the smoke of the burnt monitor lizard.<br /> <br /> The next day, the young man stabbed himself in the stomach with a kitchen knife. Amidst his unruly behavior, his family managed to bring him to the hospital. He was in critical condition as his self-inflicted injury caused his intestines to be compromised. At this point, his family approached the local or village “albularyo” to ask for advice, as he was not getting better. Even the “albularyo’ refused to cure him.<br /> <br /> With the help of my spirit guides, I was able to restore the young man’s “diwa” and he became normal again. I learned that the man was possessed after killing the lizard. He incurred the anger of a nature spirit who was the owner of the said creature.<br /> <br /> <br /> The first step in dealing with a psychic attack is awareness. You need to immediately know the signs and symptoms of an attack, so that you would know <a href="http://forum.natureoz.com/Simple-ways-to-deal-with-psychic-attacks-td47.html" target="_blank">how to deal with it</a>.<br /> <br /> If the attack is something that you can handle, then you can try using our <b><a href="https://www.natureoz.com/2018/03/psychic-attack-buster-kit.html" target="_blank">Psychic Attack Buster Kit</a></b>.

There is the Inyanga and Isangoma in South Africa who are consulted by their people for various health and spiritual problems. And in Chile, there is the Machi whose primary duty is to treat sick people. And in the Philippines we have the <a href="https://www.babaylanadlaw.com/p/babaylan-filipino-healers.html" target="_blank">Babaylan</a>, who serves as intermediaries to the spirit world.<br /> <br /> But this inherent assimilation in their respective cultures changed from the 16th to the 18th centuries, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_trials_in_the_early_modern_period" target="_blank">when witchcraft became largely demonized in early modern Europe</a>. This huge turnaround orchestrated by the Roman Catholic Church resulted in thousands of people being killed because they were accused of using magic. The most popular witch trials were the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Berwick_witch_trials" target="_blank">Scottish North Berwick witch trials</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tors%C3%A5ker_witch_trials" target="_blank">Swedish Torsåker witch trials</a> and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salem_witch_trials" target="_blank">American Salem witch trials</a>.<br /> <br /> Many of our own ancestors were also punished and killed because they denounced Spanish authorities and they failed to accept Christianity. However, the practice of witchcraft was preserved in our culture with the help of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamblot" target="_blank">Babaylans who fought hard against the foreign invaders</a>.<br /> <br /> <h2> What is witchcraft?</h2> Witchcraft is the practice of using herbs, crystals and materials found in nature to bring about a change in a situation or one’s life.<br /> <br /> There are many ways in which it is practiced in different parts of the world. There are witches who call various deities depending on their needs (e.g. someone calls Venus when they ask for love). And there are witches who have a monotheistic belief as well as those who worship nature. Some cast spells whenever they need to effect change, but there are also witches who only do so as a last resort. There are those who only use magic to do good and there are also those who do not find it incongruous to use magic even if it hurts others.<br /> <br /> <h2> Frequently Asked Questions</h2> <br /> <b>Q:</b> Is witchcraft bad?<br /> <br /> <b>A:</b> The use of witchcraft is not inherently wrong, bad or evil. Whether it is bad or good depends on the user's intentions. To illustrate this, let us compare it to using a knife. If you use the knife to hurt others, who is bad, the knife or you?<br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Q:</b> Is Witchcraft a religion?<br /> <br /> <b>A:</b> We do not consider it as a religion. It is a spiritual tradition that anyone can adopt no matter what religion he/she belongs to.<br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Q: </b>Do witches worship Satan?<br /> <br /> <b>A:</b> No, we do not worship Satan. Satan is not a part of this tradition because he is a character found in Abrahamic religions. Witchcraft existed before the establishment of these religions.<br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Q:</b> Do witches sacrifices animals?<br /> <br /> <b>A:</b> As mentioned earlier, witchcraft is practiced and were developed by people from various places. There are witches who have a tradition of offering animals to fulfill their needs and that's where the Babaylans fall under.<br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Q:</b> Why are witches using Pentagram? Is it a Satanic symbol?<br /> <br /> <b>A:</b> Not every witch uses a pentagram. We can not connect that symbol to Satan because <a href="http://www.academia.edu/4349734/A_History_of_Pentagrams_in_the_Occult_and_the_Pentagram_Window_at_West_Virginia_State_Penitentiary" target="_blank">it is a Christian symbol that represents the 5 wounds of Jesus</a>. And for your enlightenment, some witches use the Pentagram to represent the 5 elements, that is: spirit, water, fire, earth and air; and not Satan.<br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Q:</b> How can one consider himself or herself to be a witch?<br /> <br /> <b>A:</b> There are people who consider themselves as a witch just because they read books about witchcraft or cast spells they found in books or online. Personally, I don’t consider them as witches because to become a witch, one must be equipped with knowledge, skills and wisdom through years of experience in the craft.<br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Q:</b> Do witches believe in God?<br /> <br /> <b>A:</b> Not all witches have a belief in God. There are witches who are atheists and there are also those who are believers in the one God from whom everything in the world originates. I am of the latter, as I believe in one God. <br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Q:</b> If I were a witch, can I also do the wonderful things I can see on movies and on TV?<br /> <br /> <b>A:</b> No. Actually, witches can not fly, teleport, or undergo resurrection. If your only goal to delve into this world of witchcraft is that, then you're just wasting your time.<br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Q:</b> How to become a witch?<br /> <br /> <b>A:</b> The first thing you need to do is to acquire knowledge about it. You can do that by reading reliable books. But still, you need to have an experienced mentor.<br /> <br /> I started as a solitary witch when I was in high school and the only source of information I had was our school library. Of course, this was limited knowledge. What kind of information can you read about witchcraft from an encyclopedia? It naturally presented the concept as pure evil, that witches have pacts with Satan in exchange for magical powers, etc. the situation did not get better for me as someone gave me a book full of harmful and manipulative spells. So I was initially mislead. This made me used witchcraft to do acts which were harmful or evil. And because of this, I suffered greatly for not complying with the law of karma. <br /> <br /> When I became part of a coven (a closely-knit group of witches) I received guidance. The coven led me to correct my practice to veer towards doing good. Because of them, I became wise in using magic.<br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i>Babaylan Tata Adlaw</i></span>

It was developed in England in 1950s and introduced to the public by <a href="http://www.geraldgardner.com/" target="_blank">Gerard Gardner</a> in 1954. This started to spread in the Philippines in the heat of the American television series <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charmed" target="_blank">Charmed</a>.<br /> <br /> Wiccans (followers of Wicca) base their spiritual practices from a variety of pre-Christian religious traditions and beliefs. Like in many other religions, they observe religious days (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_of_the_Year" target="_blank">sabbats</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esbat" target="_blank">esbats</a>) and worship deities like Venus (the Goddess of love). Through their rituals, they attune themselves to nature for self-empowerment and in order to manifest their desires. <br /> <br /> Tools are very important to Wiccans because these help them improve their spiritual journey and magical workings. Listed below are the tools you commonly see on a Wiccan altar.<br /> <br /> <h2> <span style="font-weight: normal;">Effigies of God and Goddess</span></h2> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bruTUxriY5Y/WKgjBaRgVuI/AAAAAAAAANg/E08q8aREeLkNlWph8sR_AHDoHCZ0PsrjwCLcB/s1600/Goddess%2BStatue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Goddess Statue" border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bruTUxriY5Y/WKgjBaRgVuI/AAAAAAAAANg/E08q8aREeLkNlWph8sR_AHDoHCZ0PsrjwCLcB/s320/Goddess%2BStatue.jpg" title="Goddess Statue" width="224" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Goddess Statue</td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> Wiccans, in general, believe that the Creator is composed of two parts - the female part and the male part.
