00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.439
What do we mean by the veil?
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:22.800
Have you ever had a dream that stayed with you long after you woke up or noticed a coincidence that felt unusually meaningful?
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.079
Hey friends, welcome back to the podcast.
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:30.480
My name is Barb, and you're listening to Spirits, Witches, and Demons.
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:50.240
And today, not only am I going to explain to you and share with you a very crazy experience I had recently, but I'm going to talk about the veil and what it means, what kind of timings, and what boundaries we need to set.
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:59.759
So in spiritual conversations, experiences like these sometimes bring up these phrases like, uh, the veil is thin.
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.320
But what does that actually mean?
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.560
And what if that feeling doesn't follow a season?
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.280
What if you notice it throughout the year?
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.400
That's where I was really stuck.
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:24.079
So today I do want to explore that idea, the language we we use to describe it, the stories surrounding it, and the boundaries that can help us feel steadier.
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:30.640
So if you're with me, grab your cup of joe, whatever it may be, and uh settle in.
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.480
We're in for a very interesting chat.
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.439
I have some really good coffee, but I say that every week, right?
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:47.359
Uh one of these weeks I will record in the evening when when it would be appropriate to have something other than coffee.
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:59.519
Okay, so before I dive into some of the material I've uh put together, because I did do scripting this week, I do want to tell you guys um a story.
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:05.599
And this is not a fictional story, although many people may think it is fiction.
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:12.319
I implore you to believe in me and believe my stories when I tell you.
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.319
I do not exaggerate.
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:18.800
I may embellish, I may be a little dramatic from time to time.
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.280
I mean, so sue me, whatever.
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.719
But I mean, if I wasn't dramatic, I wouldn't be me.
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.400
I wouldn't be a Scorpio, I wouldn't be like, I wouldn't be myself.
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.719
Any, I'm getting off topic.
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:35.919
So I don't embellish what is true.
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:37.360
That's my point.
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:45.840
And so I am going to tell you a story about something that happened recently.
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.599
I kind of talked about it a little bit last week.
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:57.759
So if you're not familiar, go back and listen to that episode and you'll you'll kind of get some context.
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:03.759
But let me let
Load full transcript
me just start at the beginning of when everything started.
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:08.879
And I wrote it down in a diary so I wouldn't forget anything.
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.159
But if I feel like I'm forgetting something, I'll reference it.
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.280
Right now, I'm just gonna go off my my memory.
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:15.840
Okay.
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:20.400
So let's go back a week and a half, two weeks ago.
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:26.560
Let me see time-wise, uh a week, two weeks, two weeks and a day.
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.280
Let's go back two weeks and a day ago.
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.879
And at that time, that was October 23rd.
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.080
I go to bed after a Friday of work.
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:37.840
I go to bed that night.
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:39.280
I settle in.
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:40.719
I'm nice and cozy.
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:48.080
I got my two dogs with me, and we're all cozy in a queen size bed, just to give you a little imagery.
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:59.039
And I'm settled in, I got my ocean sounds playing on my Alexa device, and I have this unusual dream.
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:10.159
Now my dreams can be pretty lucid, and then I can have uh dreams that are obviously well, I think obviously fictional.
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:17.519
Um, maybe based on an idea I had or just some place my brain goes while I'm dreaming.
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.319
I really don't fully understand dreams.
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:30.319
However, in this dream, it was very unique in the way that it uh really showed something that could be true.
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.480
So I really paid attention to it.
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:32.800
Okay.
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.240
So here in that dream, I was at a market.
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:38.800
So I was selling my goods.
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:46.639
I was a vendor at the market, and I had a table set up and I was selling my Paganori goods.
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:47.279
Okay.
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:58.399
And as I was doing so, I was, you know, talking to people and and you know, having bright and happy conversations, and everything was flowing very well.
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:07.920
And then this this man approached my table, and he says, Again, I'm just reminding you, this is all my dream right now.
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:13.839
But he says to me, Hey, I follow your social media, your socials.
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:28.879
And, you know, I I really like what you're doing, and uh, we start having a conversation about like spiritual stuff and ghosts and and spiritual development, and it's a very interesting conversation.
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.160
Uh, I'm really enjoying the convo, actually.
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:38.639
I mean, it's nothing to do with like a romantic connection, there's none of that's happening.
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:46.240
It's like simply I'm really just enjoying having a one-on-one convo with someone about spiritual stuff.
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.560
Because that doesn't happen very often in my life.
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:57.040
It may happen in yours, but in my life, even though I have a podcast on spirits, witches, and demons, it's not an everyday convo for me.
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:03.120
So when I have those deep conversations, I really, really lavish in it.
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.879
And so in my dream, I was really enjoying this.
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.120
And I then woke up to pee, as one does.
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:17.360
So as I get up and go to the washroom and you know, do my business, whatever, wash my hands, go back to bed.
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:33.680
And as I'm going back to bed, I'm thinking, oh, I really want to get back to that dream because I really want to see where that conversation leads and what kind of like insight or whatever this guy has because I'm yeah, I was really enjoying the conversation.
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.399
Anyway, my dream didn't go back there.
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:37.439
I don't know where I went.
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:39.120
I could have gone to La La Land.
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:43.680
I have no idea, but the dream did not go back as I had.
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.360
Sorry about that.
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:46.959
Let me take a sip of coffee.
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.600
It is noon, by the way, on a Saturday.
00:06:49.920 --> 00:07:11.439
So I wake up from my slumber on uh Saturday morning, and this is the Saturday that I am going to the fortress of Louisburg to participate as a medium at the Sinister Soiree, which is an annual event.
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:19.199
This event is unlike anything else we have in this area, very unique to this area.
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:32.800
It's the sixth anniversary, so it's been done for the last six years, and I had never actually attended as a patron or a participant or a vendor.
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:34.240
Never had I been.
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:35.600
Have I been to the fortress?
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:36.800
Oh fuck yeah.
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:38.399
I love the fortress.
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:46.079
And now, in order to participate in this event, I did need to join the association, which is the Fortress of Louisburg Association.
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:52.879
That has no part in this story, but to say that I am proud to be a member.
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.560
Anyway, um, I do love that site and I talk about it a lot.
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.639
There's like a whole episode on the ghosts of the fortress.
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.680
However, I go out, so my dream was the night before.
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:26.639
I go out to the fortress that evening, and I'm getting all set up, and the house where I'm set up to do my readings, I'm sharing the house with another friend of mine who's also a medium, and we're having like ta-ta hee hee discussions about like life and just shoot the shit, right?
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:33.200
And I tell him about
this dream, not in full detail, but just like the the highlights.
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:34.240
I tell him about this dream.
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.360
He's like, oh, maybe you'll meet this guy.
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:42.639
And I thought, I might, and I really want to know where that conversation was going.
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.360
Like that that is what stood out.
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:57.600
And I know that sounds like bullshit, but I seriously, if I could stress anything to anyone, having deep conversations with people is more enticing to me than a flirt.
00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:58.960
Honest to fuck.
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:00.879
That is more enticing to me.
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:06.320
So, and that will play a part in this story going forward, so just keep note on that.
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:13.440
Okay, so I'm doing readings, and I do have a vendor's table at this event as well, but I'm not working it.
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:17.039
And my dream was specific that I was at the vendor's table.
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.879
So I kind of knew, nah, I'm not gonna meet this person tonight.
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:22.399
And everybody's in costume.
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.919
This person wasn't really in a costume, right?
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.720
Um, but the person in my dream did give me their name.
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.279
So I knew their name and I knew what they looked like.
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.440
Okay, so let's move forward.
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:40.399
Sinister Soiree goes off without a hitch.
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:41.759
Wonderful event.
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:45.679
600 participants showed up in costume.
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:49.039
99.9% of them were in costume.
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:56.799
Uh, we had volunteers there from the Coast Guard College, we had volunteers from the association, volunteers from the Veteran Society.
00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.360
We it it was just, it was a smash.
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.440
There was probably 800 plus people at the fortress.
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:20.960
It was lively, there were lights, there was music, there was live music, there was uh DJ music, and I really saw none of it because I was sat doing readings, meeting some amazing, amazing people, and telling them what their spirit families wanted them to know.
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:28.159
So that's what I did all night, and I literally saw only what was outside the window and who came in to see me.
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:34.639
Anyway, that being said, the week goes by, and it's an uneventful week.
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:35.120
Okay.
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.440
Uneventful, I go to work, I'm extremely tired.
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:42.399
Um, doing readings takes a lot out of me.
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.519
I'm sure any medium out there can understand that.
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:49.039
Uh, when you put your energy out there, you get a little tired.
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:51.600
It's like if you went to the gym
for five or six hours.
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:53.200
Like it really does.
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:54.720
It's a mental gym.
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.279
Okay, I'm speeding along now.
00:10:57.440 --> 00:10:59.039
The next Friday arrives.
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:03.279
So this is now one week from the date I had my dream.
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:03.840
Okay?
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:06.799
And I'm going to another event.
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.600
This event is uh one the one I mentioned in my last episode.
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:21.679
So I went to the Savoy, and the Savoy is a theater, a live theater, uh, here in the hometown I live in.
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.200
Uh so you can look it up.
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:27.360
I know I'm not really gatekeeping any secrets here.
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.759
You can look it up where I live, whatever.
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:39.200
Um, and so I get there and I'm setting up, and I have a medium table, mediumship table, and I also have a vendor's table.
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:44.000
So my mediumship table is on the upper floor and my vendor's table is on the main floor.
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:49.200
And I'm setting up and I get my vendor's table all set up and I go upstairs to set up my mediumship table.
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.519
And I had this feeling since like before I arrived that day.
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:59.039
The my friend that was supposed to do the uh vendor's table, I hadn't heard from them.
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:07.360
So I reached out to them saying, hey, you know, I haven't heard from you, just wanted to reconfirm that we're still on for the Savoy.
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:14.320
Um, I got everything set up, but you know, if you could be here between such and such time.
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:24.320
And lo and behold, I knew, I knew from the moment the day started, I knew, but so I wasn't shocked at all.
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.320
But something emergency did come up where they couldn't make it.
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:33.600
So that being said, my medium ship table had to go away.
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.279
Like I I couldn't do both.
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:50.720
So I gave up the medium ship table, and to be fair, I probably could have made more money reading than I did vending, but universe works in mysterious ways, and I already had my vendor's table set up with all my merchandise.
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:56.159
It looked stunning, I was ready, so I'm like, I'll do the vending.
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:02.559
So I went downstairs, I canceled the mediumship table, I went downstairs, and I was the vendor.
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:06.799
So I was actually at the vendor's table, which I was not supposed to be.
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:19.600
And about halfway, three-quarters of the way through the evening, this gentleman came up to the table, and we started having he he opened with I I watch your socials.
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:25.759
And first and foremost, I went, holy fuck, that's that's the same thing the guy said in my dream.
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:34.000
He doesn't look the same, like there's a difference to his appearance, but that opening line was the same.
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:40.960
Then we start having a combo, like a seriously deep conversation about everything spiritual.
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:44.320
And I'm like, holy fuck, this is the same as my dream.
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:47.519
Like this is literally play for play.
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.639
Like, this is absolutely fucked up.
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:58.960
Then he tells me at the very end when he's leaving, oh, by the name, by the way, my name is, and he gives me his name.
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:03.919
And I went, holy fuck, that's the name from my dream.
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.159
I'm meeting, I'm literally living out the dream I had a week ago.
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.080
This is messed up.
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:13.440
So I'm pretty excited, but my flags are up.
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.679
Like the red flags are soaring.
00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:29.919
They are sorid because of a few things that he said during our conversation that really stuck out to me as being not only odd, but a little a little too on the nose and too direct.
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.440
That I was like, hmm, who are you?
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:34.799
What are you?
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:36.320
Why are you here?
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:37.759
What is going on?
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:49.840
Okay, so let's now move forward because last week I left you off with uh a recording before I went to my final grand finale event at the Joast House.
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:51.600
Well, okay.
00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:57.519
This is where the story goes and takes a real fucked up turn, okay?
00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:59.039
Are you guys seated?
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:00.720
Are you ready for this?
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.840
I'm gonna have a little sip of coffee before I continue.
00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:06.960
Because you're not ready for this, I promise you.
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:07.600
Okay.
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:13.759
So we arrive, me and my my friend arrive at the Joast house.
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:15.919
Um, she's like my partner crime.
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.480
Anyway, you you've seen her before, you've met her before.
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:18.960
Emily.
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:21.039
She's been on the podcast a few times.
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:33.519
Anyway, um, we get to the Jo'est house, she opens it up, and we load everything in, we get all set up, and it's fucking hot in that house, I'll tell you.
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.679
It was it was a nice day, Halloween.
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:40.159
It was not too shabby, and it was a little warm in the Jo's house.
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:47.440
So after we get everything set up, all the cameras are set, uh, audio set, the food's all set up, all the clothing, everything's set.
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:52.080
We're like, let's go the fuck
outside and get a breath of air, right?
00:15:52.240 --> 00:16:01.039
So we go outside, and the first thing that happens, the first thing that happens, oh my god, yeah, I literally audibly gasped.
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.200
This is how scary this was.
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:03.840
Okay.
00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:06.480
Are you oh, I don't know if you're ready for this.
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:07.039
Okay.
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:09.200
She keeps saying okay.
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:10.720
I'm a little nervous.
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:22.639
So there was this lady, nothing strange about her, walking, and she had this like really thick rope, and the rope was, I guess, a lead on a dog.
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:28.000
But we couldn't see the dog, just the angle of where she was coming from and where we were standing in front of the house.
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:39.840
Anyway, um, by the time the end of the rope arrived and the dog was there, the dog was walking kind of sideways and staring at us.
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.320
Like literally staring at us.
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:46.159
And I went, I gasped, and she looked at me.
00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:55.679
The lady looked at me in the eyes to cover my horror because it looked like like a Wendigo or something or a dogman, right?
00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:03.759
Anyway, I audibly gasped, and I I just said, What a lovely German shepherd you have.
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.000
It is absolutely beautiful.
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:11.599
That dog is beautiful, and of course she's like, Thank you so much, blah, blah, blah.
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:20.240
Anyway, she leaves, and as she crosses the road with her dog, who, by the way, is no longer staring at us, but that was the fucking creepiest shit.
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:22.799
Why are you walking sideways staring at us?
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:29.759
Anyway, maybe the dog just didn't realize that he'd, you know, walk up the road and see two other humans.
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:31.839
I have no idea.
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:35.440
But it was definitely creepy and weird.
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:37.440
And I have two dogs.
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:38.880
I love dogs, right?
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:40.720
Like, dogs don't scare me.
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:45.279
But for whatever reason, I I was a taken abat.
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:54.799
And as they walk across the road and head in the opposite direction to where we were, Emily says, Oh, here comes a lad.
00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:02.559
Which was out of character, even though Emily is great and very dramatic, and I love her energy.
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:12.640
That specific sentence and the way she approached having somebody walk towards us was very strange.
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:14.480
And I took notice of it right away.
00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:16.720
And I'm like, oh, okay.
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:23.359
And I take a look, and there is a lad walking down the sidewalk, and he's in costume.
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:41.759
It is Halloween night, no surprise here, but he's in costume, no mask, but he's in costume, and more like a Victorian, like um, almost like a uh a spin doctor or uh plague plague doctor, whatever.
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.559
Um, that kind of idea, no mask.
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:45.119
Okay.
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:47.599
Pardon me.
00:18:47.839 --> 00:19:00.400
And uh as he approaches, Emily is like in I am standing, just to give you like context and and visual here, I am in front of the entry door facing the street.
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:12.960
So I am standing facing the street, and Emily is in front of me facing me, but also facing this uh the direction of the sidewalk where this lad is walking.
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:16.559
And he is approaching from our right hand side.
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:27.279
So she can see him and me, and he approaches her, and then as he approaches her, he stops and he literally does an about face and faces me.
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:32.799
And both Emily and I were like, um, hello?
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:35.279
How are you?
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:38.640
And my event was really small, guys.
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:44.319
I knew every name of all the participants and all the people who should be in that house.
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:45.920
Nobody was there yet.
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:50.480
We were we were ready ahead of time, so nobody was there, and this guy shows up.
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:55.759
And I asked him, I said, Oh, are you here for the event?
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.359
And he's like, Oh yeah.
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.799
And I'm like, Okay, do you have a ticket?
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:03.200
It's a ticketed event, guys.
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:05.519
And he's like, Yeah.
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:07.839
I said, Well, may I see it?
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:09.519
And he's like, Yeah, okay.
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:13.759
And he shows me a QR code from the poster I put up around town.
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:17.680
And I'm like, Well, that's not the the receipt.
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:23.680
Can you show me the receipt where you purchased it on the uh the purchasing platform?
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.240
And he's like, Oh yeah, I I have an email.
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:34.640
I purchased it on this specific date for this amount of money, and the amount of money was$78.50 Canadian.
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:43.359
Well, that was a huge red flag to me, guys, because my event was priced at$79.99 plus service fee and tax.
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:49.279
So$78.50 all in was definitely not the price of my event.
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:56.559
Anywho, we go inside because it's starting to get a little weird to be talking about this on the sidewalk.
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:06.240
So we go inside the Poirier and I'm looking up on my end, on my uh phone, to see did I miss a ticket?
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:09.599
Like I'm giving this guy somewhat of a benefit of the doubt, right?
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:13.920
I do have a camera
running it in the next room.
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.160
So I do actually have audio of our conversation inside the house.
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:23.680
If I need to prove anything to anyone, I have audio of this conversation.
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:27.519
So I'm looking through and I'm like, I can't find it.
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:29.920
Like, do you live nearby?
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:31.599
And he's like, Yeah, I live nearby.
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:40.480
I'm like, well, listen, if it's not too much trouble, could you go home, print off the paper, like the actual receipt, bring it back here.
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:46.000
Even if you arrive after we've locked the doors, just give a good bang on the door, we'll come open it.
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:51.519
And if you have actual proof, I will absolutely honor it.
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:59.759
But I need to see that so that if you did get scammed, because that is my concern, if you paid a certain price and that's lower than my even.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:05.200
Starting before tax and service fees, I'm concerned that you got scammed, right?
00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:11.680
So I would like to see that receipt so that I will honor it for you, number one.
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:19.200
And number two, I can go back to the uh hosting platform and get my money for you to attend the event.
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:22.160
So anyway, he's like, yeah, okay, that that makes sense.
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:22.720
Yep.
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:24.000
And he leaves.
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.079
He never showed back up.
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:29.039
So that was, and we called that.
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.920
As soon as he left, both Emily and I looked at each other saying, he's not coming back.
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:35.119
There's no way.
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:36.240
There's no way.
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:42.079
So it's own that could have been like, oh, that was a weird thing.
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.599
He was just trying to get a free event on Halloween, right?
00:22:46.000 --> 00:23:03.599
But I am compiling this event, this circumstance, this thing that happened with my dream, with the um event at the Savoy, with what's coming up next.
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:12.640
So we're in the Joast house, everybody shows up, we're all having a great time, things are flowing well, there's a lot of people in the house, there are a lot of spirits in the house.
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:17.440
And this is the tenth investigation I've done in this house.
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:35.920
And in 10 investigations, only twice in very small, very small, like one word kind of thing, scenarios, did anything demonic show up, or anything negative entity at all show up.
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:43.680
Yet Halloween night, and I know Halloween, and this is why I wanted to do this topic today, the veil, quote unquote, is thin.
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.519
Almost everything that came through was demonic.
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:51.440
And I was like, what the hell is going on here?
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:53.680
Like, seriously, what is going on?
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:57.359
We had pictures show up that are demonic pictures.
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:08.720
We had words, we had phrases, we had without me nor Emily saying a word about the dude that showed up before anybody else, because he was showed up and gone before anybody showed up.
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:10.240
And we didn't talk about it.
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:13.680
We said nothing to nobody, I promise you.
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.000
So we just went on with the night.
00:24:16.079 --> 00:24:18.079
We just literally started the night with everybody.
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:19.759
Why talk about it, right?
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:26.240
Anyway, um, so nobody was primed with this information is how is what I'm trying to say.
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:27.839
Nobody was primed with this.
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:44.960
And yet I had my own guests who had never experienced, who had been there before, who had never experienced anything demonic in that house before, knew that I did work with the dark, and but I was able to keep it out of the house because the house is very light and loving.
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:51.359
Um, they were coming up to me talking about things coming through that reference demons.
00:24:52.000 --> 00:25:03.440
And so my cackles go up, and I think of the guy that showed up, I think of my dream, I think of the interaction I had the night before, and I'm just keeping this internalized for now.
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:18.960
I'm not saying anything, I'm not I'm not asking any questions of any devices, literally, and I know I'm saying this to you, but I literally have audio and video proof that I didn't prime anything for anyone.
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:30.799
So, and if you want to see that, you can go over on my TikTok and you can also view uh Haunt Mess's TikTok uh because literally there is audio and video from the whole night.
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:31.359
Okay.
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:34.960
We we conclude the night.
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:37.359
Everybody had a wonderful time.
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:46.400
Uh at one point before people started to really focus on the basement, I did go down and I did tell because I did feel that negative energy.
00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:48.319
Again, I was internalizing it.
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:54.400
I was trying to keep it at bay, but I did go down and say, listen, I know you're here.
00:25:54.720 --> 00:26:00.160
And all I ask, I'm not prepared to fight you right now and and force you out of this house.
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.920
All I ask is that uh you don't hurt anybody.
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:05.680
Literally harm people.
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.720
Do not do that, or we will have a problem.
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.440
Like I will I will do something.
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:13.440
I don't know what I could have done, guys.
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:16.000
Uh I'm just
saying this is what I said to the thing.
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:16.480
Okay?
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:20.000
I'm not saying I'm all powerful, mighty, blah, blah, blah.
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:22.319
That's not what I'm saying, so don't get me twisted.
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:27.359
But I did just acknowledge that it was there and say and set boundaries.
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:29.440
I just wanted to set some boundaries.
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:34.240
So I asked it not to harm anything or anyone, and then I said, you know what?
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:36.640
If you want to fuck with people, quit them.
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:46.720
Like, pull their hair, touch them, uh say things, show images, do whatever you want, but just don't hurt anyone.
00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:48.720
That's my only boundary.
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:50.799
But if you want to have fun, have fun.
00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:52.720
It's Halloween after all.
00:26:53.039 --> 00:27:03.680
So the night goes on, people did get touched, hair did get pulled, um, things did happen, people did see things, uh, but we had a fun night overall.
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:11.359
And at the end of the night, after everyone left, except for one guest who was Emily's best friend, so she got to stay.
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.519
Um, we were packing up and debriefing as we packed up everything.
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:19.440
And we were talking about everything that happened during the night.
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:29.200
And that's when we fully started talking about all the demon shit that came through on the devices and people's experiences and that kind of thing.
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:30.960
We started to actually talk about it.
00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:34.559
And then we talked about the dude that showed up and never came back.
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:44.720
And then I told Emily, who had no clue about this, by the way, no idea about my dream and the night before what had happened.
00:27:45.039 --> 00:28:15.279
And I concluded after all of that was put together, the whole thing, the dream, October 23rd, the Savoy, October 30th, that that night, October 31st, everything that happened, all the things that combined as like a one um something that was like compiled into one thing, it I was convinced I had met a demon who had taken human form.
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:22.319
And I was shocked and dismayed, and I didn't believe it.
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:32.799
Um I also started the whole night with the group saying I never believed that quote unquote the veil could be thinned on a specific night.
00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:54.640
So a lot of my misconceptions were proven wrong, and that's why tonight we are going to talk about the veil and specifically my mediumship, because this is the whole basis of this podcast, is this is my spiritual journey, and you guys are just along for this fucked up ride.
00:28:54.880 --> 00:29:00.640
So if you're ready after that really messy story, let's begin.
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:08.240
So I am discussing spiritual beliefs and personal interpretations.
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:13.759
This is not uh, and I'm just disclaimer, guys, just a forewarning.
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:17.920
This I'm not presenting proof of unseen beings.
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:24.079
An experience can feel powerful without us knowing exactly what caused it.
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:27.920
So I do want to leave room for that uncertainty.
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:40.160
Think of the veil as a metaphor for the boundary between everyday life and what some traditions describe as the spiritual or unseen world.
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:58.960
When someone says it feels quote unquote thin, I just hit the mic, sorry about that, they mean they may mean that their dreams feel more vivid, their intuition feels stronger, or their sense of connection to loved ones feels a little closer.
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:01.759
That's the language of the experience.
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:13.680
It isn't by itself an explanation for the experience, the timing, seasonal beliefs, and everyday sensitivity.
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:22.240
So much of the conversation about the veil thinning centers on late October, Halloween, and sowen.
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:34.079
You may also hear people connect with equinoxes, full moons, eclipses, and moments of personal transition.
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:41.119
Within the spiritual framework, these are times people associate with heightened connection.
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:45.920
But I don't want to turn that into a rule everyone must follow.
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:51.920
You see, for me, that feeling isn't limited to a few dates.
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:57.200
I feel what I describe as a thin veil most days of the year.
00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:03.599
So I've wondered, if that's my experience, how useful is a seasonal calendar?
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:15.599
Maybe the more helpful question is not is it the right time to feel something, but what am I noticing and how is it affecting me?
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:20.400
So I just want to pause there just for a second and add a little interlude.
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:29.359
Um, one thing I did notice this year is that I felt it like the veil being a little thinner.
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:31.039
I've never felt that before.
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:37.519
Like I've never actually felt closer connection where I my body tingled.
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:39.039
Like literally feeling.
00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:42.720
I'm not talking about sensing, talking about feeling.
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:44.799
So I had tingles.
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:50.079
My head would feel like numb on one side, like something was touching me.
00:31:50.319 --> 00:32:01.759
Um, I'd get goosebumps easier than I normally do, and I do get goosebumps fairly easy, I will, I will admit, but I'd get them just a little easier, like constantly.
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:04.079
As soon as something would happen, I'd get goosies.
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:07.920
I'd
get these uh goosebumps all over me.
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:16.480
Um I'd also feel a little distracted, which I mean to be fair, let's let's let's be honest, Barb.
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:18.240
That's normal.
00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:21.759
Being distracted, ADHD, squirrel.
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:23.839
Um that's normal.
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:26.480
But it was even more heightened.
00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:30.079
Like it was like I couldn't keep a straight thought.
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:37.759
And then when I did have a thought, like when I was centered, it was like hyper-fixated, centered.
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.960
Fixated, no, fixated, centered.
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:43.599
It was like extremes.
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:45.599
That's the best way I can describe it.
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:54.160
Like it was as if I was going from one extreme to the other constantly, and it was exhausting.
00:32:54.400 --> 00:33:01.359
The veil, I think they're saying it's still thin right now, so it could be why I'm still like woo-hoo.
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:04.000
But that's what I noticed.
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:11.440
I do feel like whenever anybody said the veil's thinner at this time of year, I was like, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:15.119
Because it felt the same to me, regardless.
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:32.880
But that's I believe my mediumship, and that's what I'm kind of exploring here, is the mediumship and um being able to connect to spirit on a daily basis versus a seasonal or based on different calendar events.
00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:34.480
So let's continue.
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:35.759
Sensitivity.
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:37.920
I need another sip of coffee.
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:44.079
Okay, sensitivity making room for more than just one explanation.
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:47.440
Oh that leads to another question I've asked.
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:52.240
Could this feeling be connected to what I understand as mediumship?
00:33:52.559 --> 00:34:03.039
So if you guys are going through your own spiritual awakening, if you're a medium, if you're an empath, any of those things, maybe you'll feel the same as I did here.
00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:06.480
Mediumship is one spiritual interpretation.
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:17.280
It's framework, some people it's a framework some people use to make sense of intuition, vivid impressions, or feeling of connection.
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:24.320
But I wouldn't want to say that having those experiences prove someone is a medium.
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.199
They could be an empath, they could just be sensitive.
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:31.039
The radiodial image is helpful here.
00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:39.760
As a metaphor, image uh imagine feeling tuned in to several stations at once.
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:45.360
There's a lot coming through, and it can be difficult to decide what deserves your attention.
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:53.599
You don't have to settle the question of where every impression comes from before choosing a boundary.
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:56.559
You can simply say, I need a break.
00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:59.440
I'm turning my attention back to everyday life.
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:05.440
And not every unusual feeling needs to be have a spiritual label.
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:12.239
I can notice what happened, reflect on it, and leave the explanation open.
00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:21.599
So here, what I'm trying to say is for me, it's either completely on or I can shut it completely off.
00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:31.760
I call that putting up my blocks, although put I didn't use those terms here because putting up blocks can be different for other people.
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:36.000
For me, that just means I am setting my boundaries.
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:44.559
Um and having like having a spiritual label on everything, I don't think is helpful, guys.
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:59.360
I think being an intuitive and using your intuition, not only it for mediumship, but for everyday life, by saying, you know what, I feel like I just need to step back and take a break right now.
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:00.639
That's great.
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:03.360
I feel like I want to connect.
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:10.639
I'm taking a step back and I've put up those boundaries, but now I've just met this person, I'm having a lovely conversation.
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:14.400
I'm gonna drop those boundaries because I feel like I should.
00:36:14.639 --> 00:36:16.320
I feel like I want to.
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:19.119
So that's how I use my intuition.
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.800
I also use it in mediumship work, I use it in my everyday life.
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:25.760
My intuition is like literally my go-to.
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:31.039
Um, I call it my my gut instinct, my intuition, whatever you want to call it.
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:40.239
However, for me, the important distinction is being curious because that doesn't require being certain.
00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:42.480
So I just leave it open.
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:44.400
I hope that's helpful to you.
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:48.639
Um, being a medium does not need to be perfect.
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:50.639
Same with being a witch.
00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:56.480
You don't need to do a spell or a ritual exactly the way someone else does it.
00:36:56.800 --> 00:37:13.199
Maybe learning from a priestess or learning from as a medium, learning from another medium, having a mentor is helpful, but it doesn't necessarily dictate how you should do it or how you have to do it.
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:21.440
I guess have to is the better uh wording there, because there's no have to in anything spiritual or paranormal.
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:23.199
There's there's just not.
00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:30.400
And if anyone out there says there is, tell them to go themselves.
00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:38.960
Because honestly, if we're living our own lives, no one else gets to dictate how
we do that.
00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:43.360
The only dictation out there is if you are harming someone else.
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:47.360
But if you're not harming anybody, tell them to go fuck themselves.
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:49.840
Honestly, that's all I do.
00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:52.559
I literally just don't give a shit.
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:54.400
I don't give a shit.
00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:55.039
Okay.
00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:56.880
And that was a little tangent.
00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:57.840
I'm sorry about that.
00:37:58.079 --> 00:37:59.280
Back on board.
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.440
Unsettling encounters.
00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:04.159
Experience, interpretation, and stories.
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:07.599
Well, I told you a little bit about my story, right?
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:14.000
Let's see, now uh this is more sensitive part of this conversation.
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:23.360
Uh I had an encounter that I interpreted at the time as m as a meeting a demonic being in human form.
00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:25.119
So I told you about that.
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:27.199
That was my interpretation.
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:33.280
Not something I can establish as fact about that person I encountered.
00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:39.519
Like I said, the dude that showed up, he could have easily been just a stupid human trying to get in.
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:40.639
Easily.
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:43.440
But it raised a question for me.
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:49.440
Are there older stories about spiritual beings appearing in human form?
00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:54.320
So I wanted to know, has this happened to other people?
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:56.719
Has anyone else experienced this?
00:38:57.039 --> 00:39:03.039
Because I'll tell you one thing, guys, and I'm sure I've said this a number of times before.
00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:10.239
I don't go out there and say, oh, well, I think I might have this kind of experience in the future.
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:12.079
How many people have done that before?
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:16.079
Well what's the common reality of this in in the world?
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:17.679
I don't fucking care.
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:24.159
I just live my life and experience what I experience, and then after the fact say, that was odd.
00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:26.719
I wonder if that ever happened to anybody else.
00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:29.840
Well, lo and behold, lo and behold.
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:38.000
Okay, so the material that I started with draws on Christian accounts, of course, Christianity.
00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:52.400
It's everywhere, of deceptive appearances, Islamic stories about jinn, African shape-shifting folklore, and European occult traditions.
00:39:52.719 --> 00:40:02.239
It also points to biblical accounts of divine visitors and the idea of welcoming angels without recognizing them.
00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:07.119
Because of course I do believe in both light and dark.
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:13.119
Therefore, if I meet a dark inhuman form, why couldn't I have met a light in human form?
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:15.440
So of course I'm curious about both.
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:17.039
How do you guys feel about that?
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:18.639
Like where do you guys lie?
00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:20.239
I just I'm curious.
00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:24.320
These uh belong to different religions and cultural traditions.
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:33.679
I don't want to flatten them into one story or use them as evidence that a particular encounter was supernatural.
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:45.280
For this episode just for today, guys, I'm treating them as stories and beliefs to explore, rather than verified explanations.
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:50.719
Detailed historical claims deserve their own careful resource checking.
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:52.000
Or source checking.
00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:52.880
Resource checking?
00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:54.320
Why did I say resource?
00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:55.119
Hmm.
00:40:55.679 --> 00:41:00.159
Little slip could be univer uh universe saying something.
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:07.119
Um yeah, the takeaway isn't quote unquote an unsettling stranger must be an entity.
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:16.880
It's that we can explore the meaning of a frightening experience without deciding that another person is secretly something non-human.
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:28.079
If an encounter feels unsafe, I'd put ordinary safety first, create distance, leave the situation, and reach out to someone I trust.
00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:32.239
No spiritual test or confrontation is required.
00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:58.639
So I'd wanted to really specify that because even though I had what looked like after the fact, when you put all the scenarios, all the things together, as possibly being an encounter of the non-human kind, in the moment at the Savoy, I'm having a great conversation and we're interacting, and not once am I saying, I think you're a fucking demon, step away from me.
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:00.800
No, no, no.
00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:04.000
And same with the dude that showed up at the Joast house.
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:06.239
He could be just an honest dude.
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:11.679
So I'm going to have a just a civil one-on-one conversation with him.
00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:14.400
There's there's no need to be hostile.
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:15.840
There's no need to be rude.
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:17.360
There's no need for any of that.
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:19.840
Now the rudeness and the hostility.
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:23.599
You can save that for when you know for sure what you're dealing with.
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:25.199
Boundaries.
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:26.800
Rituals without fear.
00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:28.320
Pardon me.
00:42:28.639 --> 00:42:32.559
So where does that leave protection practices?
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:44.480
I'd like to shift the emphasis away from battling something unseen, like I just said, and
toward creating a sense of calm, choice, and personal boundaries.
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:48.639
You don't have to reject your spiritual beliefs to take that approach.
00:42:48.960 --> 00:42:56.960
You can give a ritual meaning without promising that it blocks entities or changes an invisible energy field.
00:42:57.199 --> 00:42:59.599
That's exactly what I did in the basement, guys.
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:04.480
I didn't go down to fight this demonic being or whatever it was.
00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:06.400
I didn't go down to fight it.
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:10.480
I went down to acknowledge it and set a boundary.
00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:16.239
And by setting the boundary, I literally just used my words and asked to set the boundary.
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:22.079
It doesn't mean that I had to take selenite and draw a circle of salt or any of those things.
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.760
Would that have helped if I knew for sure what I was dealing with?
00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:26.880
Probably.
00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:33.599
But it wasn't it's not always 100% necessary in every situation.
00:43:33.840 --> 00:43:37.840
Okay, so first, use gentle gentle.
00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:40.400
Gentral is a new word, guys.
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:42.480
We're gonna add that to the dictionary.
00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:43.280
Gentral.
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:45.599
I'm twisting my words now.
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:48.159
First resource and now gentle.
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:51.679
Okay, use a gentle visualization.
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:57.760
The earlier material describes mirrored armor and heavy a heavy curtain.
00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:00.639
I'd soften those images for every Day use.
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:05.679
So if it feels comfortable, imagine a quiet space around you.
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:08.079
So just sit where you are.
00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:10.320
If you're driving, please don't do this.
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:18.559
But sit with where you are, close your eyes, and picture closing a curtain at the end of the day.
00:44:18.719 --> 00:44:20.239
Close your window curtain.
00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:27.280
Not because something is trying to get through, but because you're choosing where your attention goes.
00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:31.519
So you no longer want to look at the outside world and you want to focus inward.
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:32.079
Okay?
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:39.039
So I'm just going to pause before I continue this uh bit of material.
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:43.599
Um when I center myself, a deep breath.
00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:46.320
I could be in the middle of Walmart and I'll deep breath.
00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:47.599
I'll tell you that.
00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:57.119
Especially with the amount of energy this time of year coming into the holiday season, oh you bet I'll be breathing deep every time I step inside that fucking store.
00:44:57.360 --> 00:44:58.159
Anyway.
00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:00.960
But you deep breath, right?
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:05.039
And I think normal people say breathe deep.
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:06.159
I deep breath.
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:06.960
Anyway.
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:13.199
Then I do picture myself in a place and I uh yawn.
00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:15.280
I am so sorry for yawning.
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:18.400
Always I I need to do something about it.
00:45:18.800 --> 00:45:21.039
It's not you, it's me, I promise.
00:45:21.519 --> 00:45:24.960
But I picture something that makes me feel safe.
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:30.559
Whether that's my room, my home, my vehicle, just inside my own mind.
00:45:30.719 --> 00:45:33.519
Uh sometimes that's not the best place to be.
00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:38.159
But I just pr picture something I I feel safe around.
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:40.880
Maybe it's my dogs, hugging my dogs.
00:45:41.119 --> 00:45:46.800
And that becomes my safe space, my boundary, my little bubble, so to speak.
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:59.199
When I need the heavier stuff, the heavy curtain, or the mirrored armor, it'd be like the the um armored knight, a knight in shining armor.
00:45:59.440 --> 00:46:01.360
Um, I'll put that on.
00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:02.800
I'll put that on.
00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:14.079
So for uh very quiet, everyday use, more subtle, more soft, you might say, for now, I'm setting this aside.
00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:15.840
I'm allowed to rest.
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:17.679
And that's that's it.
00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:19.599
You literally just set a boundary.
00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:24.719
You close the curtain on that window, and you said, for now, I'm setting this aside.
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:26.400
I'm allowed to rest.
00:46:26.559 --> 00:46:31.360
Y'all should do that even if you're not trying to set a boundary for any entities out there.
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:33.119
You should do that for yourself.
00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:36.800
Your kids are running around you say, I'm setting you aside.
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:38.159
I need to rest.
00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:41.360
Okay, I know I don't live in reality, okay?
00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:43.119
I don't have kids, but whatever.
00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:44.239
You get my drift.
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:49.360
If the image makes you more watchful or afraid, leave it out.
00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:55.119
The practice is meant to feel supportive, not like another responsibility.
00:46:55.519 --> 00:47:05.599
And I hope I come across in all my episodes, regardless of if I'm reading a Reddit story or talking about uh an idea like this.
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:27.519
I hope I come across in telling you that um you can literally practice anything spiritual, spirit talking to spirits, witchcraft, dealing with demons, anything spirituality-wise, you can practice it without meaning to add shit to your daily routine.
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:29.119
You literally can.
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:30.400
Trust me.
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:32.960
I just finished a yawn, I'm sorry.
00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:34.159
Trust
me.
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:40.159
It is something you can add to your daily without adding something to your daily.
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:42.800
I am so fucking busy, guys.
00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:54.079
I got two companies, this podcast, running four different social medias, like four accounts on each social media platform, and I work full-time.
00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:55.679
Plus, I ghost hunt.
00:47:56.000 --> 00:48:04.559
So where the hell do I have time to add shit to my daily routine in visualization, in setting boundaries, in doing rituals?
00:48:04.800 --> 00:48:15.440
And as a witch, you think, oh yeah, you're gonna prior you're you're not a true witch if you don't prioritize doing these this shit, going to your altars, doing rituals, doing this or that.
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:16.320
You know what?
00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:18.719
Again, I'm gonna bring it back to what I said before.
00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:22.400
People say and dictate to you how you must do things.
00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:23.280
Fuck you.
00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:25.199
You you don't have to, guys.
00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:33.760
You don't have to s add things to your daily routine to really accomplish things in your spiritual journey.
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:35.280
It just is.
00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:42.960
You just learn different techniques and use your intuition to what feels best for you in that moment.
00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:47.679
And this is something extremely easy that you can do in a moment.
00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:53.840
You're taking a shower, you're feeling like the world is overwhelming.
00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:55.360
Set your boundary.
00:48:55.599 --> 00:48:57.920
Take a deep breath, maybe not under the water.
00:48:58.000 --> 00:48:59.199
You don't want drowned.
00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:05.679
Take a deep breath, let it out slowly while saying, for now, I'm setting this aside.
00:49:06.000 --> 00:49:07.039
I'm allowed to rest.
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:13.039
So number two is keep physical rituals simple.
00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:21.039
Salt, water, head coverings, and stones appear in the original protection practices.
00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:31.920
If any of those symbols are meaningful to you, you can treat them as reminders of an intention, not a guarantee of supernatural protection.
00:49:32.159 --> 00:49:36.239
A scarf may might remind you to take a quiet moment.
00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:40.079
A stone might remind you to pause.
00:49:40.320 --> 00:49:44.239
A simple tidying routine might mark the end of a day.
00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:51.840
I'd leave out the herbal sprays, salt barriers, and freezing cold water instructions from this routine.
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:56.800
You don't need an elaborate ritual to give yourself permission to stop.
00:49:57.039 --> 00:49:59.360
I couldn't have said it better myself.
00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:01.360
I'm proud of me.
00:50:01.679 --> 00:50:04.000
That was actually really, really profound.
00:50:04.159 --> 00:50:05.599
Exactly what I just said though, right?
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:07.119
But a little bit more concise.
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.639
Third, let prayer be a source of comfort.
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:16.320
So when I say the word prayer, being a peg in which I still pray.
00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:20.400
I mean, I was brought up Catholic, so there's that.
00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:23.599
But prayer is just a word.
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:25.599
It's just a word.
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:26.239
Okay?
00:50:26.719 --> 00:50:28.800
You can pray in many different forms.
00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:46.880
You can have um mantras, you can do manifestation rituals, you can pray to a Lord, you can you can worship a god or a goddess, you can write in a journal, you whatever it is for you, whatever prayer looks like for you.
00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:55.039
If prayer is part of your faith, you may pray for peace, clarity, or support to make grounded choices.
00:50:55.280 --> 00:51:02.000
Some people use the language of Archangel Michael, ancestors, or spirit guides.
00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:08.079
You can keep that language that fits your beliefs without turning the practice into a battle.
00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:13.599
Rather than a banishment command, try a statement about your own boundary.
00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:19.840
I'm not, and this is a uh quote unquote, I'm not giving this my attention right now.
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:22.559
I'm choosing to return to what's around me.
00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:30.719
For me, I choose to call on my guides, spirit family, spirit guides, please surround me.
00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:36.000
I do call on Archangel Michael because he is part of my spirit family.
00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:37.679
So I will call on him as well.
00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:39.360
I will call on my ancestors.
00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:41.599
So all of that does fit for me.
00:51:41.840 --> 00:51:49.280
Um, and when I'm choosing my own piece, I do set my boundaries.
00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:51.440
That's the strongest thing.
00:51:51.599 --> 00:52:03.039
I think it will continue to be a repetitive statement I make throughout the course of my life, throughout this podcast, in in episodes to come.
00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:09.840
Boundaries are important for your personal life, for your romantic life, for your spiritual life.
00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:10.960
They're important.
00:52:11.360 --> 00:52:12.880
Oh, and for business too.
00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:14.559
Don't let's not forget about business.
00:52:14.719 --> 00:52:18.000
Set your work boundaries when it's five o'clock, clock out.
00:52:18.159 --> 00:52:20.079
Nobody stays past that time, right?
00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:23.199
Y'all don't work past your quitting hour, do you?
00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:24.480
Please don't.
00:52:24.719 --> 00:52:26.480
Uh okay, tangent coming.
00:52:26.719 --> 00:52:36.239
Tangent coming! For your personal peace, in your spiritual well-being being, in your mental well-being, in your physical well-being, maybe not
in your financial well-being.
00:52:36.719 --> 00:52:39.280
Don't don't ever get financial advice from me.
00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:51.599
Anyway, when it comes to work, guys, unless you own, own, not work for, manage, or are a high representative.
00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:57.119
Unless you own your own company, you're just a number.
00:52:57.360 --> 00:52:58.880
You can be replaced.
00:52:59.119 --> 00:53:03.039
So when it's the end of the day, flip the bird and walk away.
00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:05.599
Literally, like clock out.
00:53:05.920 --> 00:53:06.480
See ya.
00:53:06.800 --> 00:53:08.400
Unless you're paying me to be here.
00:53:08.639 --> 00:53:09.440
Bye-bye.
00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:14.480
I mean, unless you volunteer places, that's another that's another thing.
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:18.239
I'm strictly talking about being paid to be there.
00:53:18.480 --> 00:53:26.079
You get paid for the hour on a salary for a specific amount of hours in a contract.
00:53:26.320 --> 00:53:28.000
After that, see ya.
00:53:28.400 --> 00:53:31.840
Unless they're willing to pay you OT overtime.
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:37.679
Uh overtime in lieu, whatever your your agreement is, unless that is in written agreement.
00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:41.519
And you see the the bills on the table.
00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:43.280
Yeah, go away.
00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:46.800
Your time is you don't owe it to them.
00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:47.360
Okay.
00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:49.840
So that's one thing you can take off the table.
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:54.000
And I know in Canada, that's a that's a done deal.
00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:56.400
Like that's that is the way it is.
00:53:56.559 --> 00:53:58.320
Unless I'm being paid, I'm out.
00:53:58.639 --> 00:54:00.639
And that's our labor laws.
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:03.360
You know, like that's the labor law.
00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:05.440
You don't pay me, I don't work.
00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:10.960
And um, I don't know what it's like in other countries because I've never worked in another country.
00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:15.599
So if it's different for you guys, I really hate that for you.
00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:20.800
Maybe Canada has something really good here.
00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:41.440
I know certain countries, there are certain countries out there that we should adopt practices by, like the four-day work week and uh minimum or a maximum six-hour work day, um, mid mid-day cake break or or nap break or whatever it is in certain countries.
00:54:41.679 --> 00:54:42.400
You know what?
00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:43.920
That's another tangent.
00:54:44.159 --> 00:54:47.199
Work that we're not talking about that today, right?
00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:48.559
Let's let's get off that.
00:54:48.719 --> 00:54:55.760
Because I can go on and on and on about the right to rest, work life balance, all that stuff.
00:54:55.920 --> 00:54:57.280
Let's return to this.
00:54:57.440 --> 00:54:58.719
This is a better topic.
00:54:58.960 --> 00:55:02.559
Fourth, number four, return to ordinary life.
00:55:02.800 --> 00:55:14.719
So for me, the final step would be something simple, like feel my feet on the floor, look around the room, drink some water, or check in with someone I trust.
00:55:14.960 --> 00:55:18.960
That's to make sure that I'm spiritually, not somewhere else.
00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.719
I wouldn't describe that as removing an attachment.
00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:26.719
I'd describe it as bringing my attention back to the present.
00:55:26.880 --> 00:55:31.280
That's a really good practice even for just mental clarity.
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:39.039
And if an experience becomes frightening, persistent, or disruptive, I'd reach out to a qualified health professional.
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:42.960
Seeking support doesn't require abandoning spiritual beliefs.
00:55:43.199 --> 00:55:48.000
And a ritual doesn't have to carry the whole weight of helping us feel safe.
00:55:48.320 --> 00:55:50.719
So please keep that in mind, guys.
00:55:50.880 --> 00:56:06.000
If you feel unsafe, if you feel mentally unwell, if you feel attacked in any way, there are health professionals out there, there's police, there's all these resources that we can we can go towards to feel safe.
00:56:06.320 --> 00:56:21.599
I have been to a psychiatrist, I have taken grief counseling, I have gone to doctors over my mental state when I didn't feel well to get myself to a well mental state.
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:23.519
I talk to my friends.
00:56:23.679 --> 00:56:25.039
Um, all of these things.
00:56:25.199 --> 00:56:31.199
Like I literally do everything possible to keep my mental state as healthy as possible.
00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:32.159
Is it?
00:56:32.559 --> 00:56:33.920
Some days, yes.
00:56:34.159 --> 00:56:36.239
Some days, fuck no.
00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:41.519
Of course I'm gonna have like ups and downs like every other human out there.
00:56:41.760 --> 00:56:45.679
But what I do is I know this and I realize it.
00:56:45.840 --> 00:57:03.760
And if I can't center myself and bring myself back to the present and and deep breaths to really bring myself back to where I feel safe and where I feel like I can take on the world again, then I get help.
00:57:04.079 --> 00:57:04.960
Just that easy.
00:57:05.199 --> 00:57:07.440
But it took me a long time to realize that.
00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:13.840
So I'm not saying you you just realize that overnight and you're like, yeah, okay, I I got that.
00:57:14.159 --> 00:57:21.920
Um we can we can just know that yeah, when I'm not feeling so safe, I just yeah, flip a switch and go get help.
00:57:22.079 --> 00:57:29.119
It's hard when you're in the depths of despair, when you're emotionally feeling like you can't go on.
00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:32.000
That's hard, but that again is another topic.
00:57:32.239 --> 00:57:37.360
Please let me know if you want me to touch on that, because that is part of your spiritual development as well.
00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:38.000
Okay.
00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:42.159
Curiosity with a steady footing.
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:46.000
If there's one thing I'd like to leave you with, it's this.
00:57:46.239 --> 00:57:52.400
You can honor the meaning of an experience without needing an immediate explanation.
00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:58.800
You can be interested in the veil thinning without organizing your life around a calendar.
00:57:58.960 --> 00:58:05.840
You can explore mediumship as a belief without treating every ex impression as a message.
00:58:06.159 --> 00:58:14.320
And you can use a comforting ritual without assuming there's something you need to fight.
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:24.960
Maybe the question to carry with you is, does the way I'm interpreting this help me feel more present or more afraid?
00:58:25.199 --> 00:58:28.400
If it brings more fear, it's okay to step back.
00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:33.679
You're allowed to rest, change your mind, and ask for support.
00:58:34.159 --> 00:58:37.519
So guys, thank you for spending your time with me today.
00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:50.719
Whenever you stand, wherever you stand on the idea of the veil, I hope this conversation leaves you with room for curiosity and permission to keep your feet on the ground.
00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:54.639
And until next week, guys, I hope you do one thing.
00:58:54.960 --> 00:58:58.880
Remember, the veil may always be thin.
00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:02.320
You may always be able to connect to the other side.
00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:06.639
You may always have an encounter, but always do it.
00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:08.719
And take care.
