That sounds so cool. I am also very interested in what I call the Romantic Diseases like TB, Cholera and so forth. Do you live near Nashville?

I have been once, but do want to go again, just this last Summer with the my Dad stuff it was too much.

We went to the stump in the Forrest and a medium spoke to Cynthia's grandmother and gave her a message from her Husband, we were all in tears the rest of the day. They went last Summer and had readings, but I stayed home.

The Mandala monks were there when we went which was so cool.

I have not had a reading on my own, but would love to.

It is a beautiful little Victorian village filled with mediums and surrounded by a lake and an enchanted forest. They have free services with readings a couple of times each day and lot's of mediums who live there full or part time. There is a sweet pet cemetary, a fairie walk, its just lovely.

Femmy1, I am so excited to know you are there often, have you actually stayed on the grounds? We stayed near by at the White Inn, which is also haunted and very cool.

I found the place very empowering to women and interesting. I hope to go back when I am ready and feel more centered. JUst sitting in the library looking at the books was wonderful in itself.

I onced tried connecting my heart and soul with others,they took my heart and crushed it into little pieces then had the nerve to go after my soul.I was a teenager back then and didn't know any better.So I lost trust at a young age myself,Andrew.Now when someone tells me things i will just take their word for it but until i actually witness it with my own two eyes,i won't believe them.

Yes,I know that people are different and grow at many levels.The thing is to grow,right?.Right.

Okay,back to the paranormal.I'm still hearing that deep male voice coming from my living room.It's so weird sounding.I really don't understand what he's saying,nor do I want too.It reminds me of someone in prayer.Which can be seen as a good thing I suppose.I'm not really feeling threatened by it at all to tell you the truth.I'm just leaving it up to the lord.Sometimes I have to look into my heart for the answers,and sometimes I read the good book.:glasses:

I live a short distance from there. This summer my daughter and I are going to start taking some classes there. I actually dated one of the teachers there for a short time

Oh, that's what that means...my Dad & Stepmother wrote this in chalk above the doors into the house but neither one could remember what it said.

I have a mezuzah on my doorpost but it's not for protection. We are commanded to post this as a reminder of our faith.
:bellydancer:

That's true Andrew,talking about it kills the fear.I do say my prayers,everynight.And that helps too.

Why do you need to be reminded that people fight,aren't the papers enough?.
As for being right,we're not always right.It's good to open your mind up and listen to others.Like this thread for instance.I believe in all the stories others have posted here because I know that ghost,spirits,and demons do exist.I've been living with paranormal activity all my life,and frankly i'm tired of it.Everytime I saw/heard something unexplainable I wanted an explanation,but never got one.But when I returned to the lord and the bible,all my questions were answered.That works for me,of course I know that won't work for everyone.
Fighting Is a natural thing it seems,wanting to control others,shit like that.It's also juvenile if you ask me.

:goodpost:

Miss Scarlet, :rrose:

The Mezuzah holds small Holy Prayers that you kiss when you enter or leave your home. It is still done today by most who are of the Jewish faith.

Andrew, Hon, I'm Jewish remember?

You're not quite correct in your understanding. The scroll (klaf) inside the Mezuzah case does not contain Holy Prayers. Below I pasted an explanation by a Rabbi whose words are far better than mine.


From Rabbi Shraga Simmons: "On the doorpost of every Jewish home rests a mezuzah. Some may think it's a dainty decoration or a good luck charm. Put one up to keep the evil spirits away!

Actually, a mezuzah is a daily reminder ― and a public declaration ― of Jewish identity and faith.

Though mezuzah literally means "doorpost," it commonly refers to a scroll of parchment containing biblical verses, placed on the doorpost.

The mezuzah recalls the Exodus from Egypt, when the lamb's blood smeared on the doorpost "identified" the Jewish homes that God passed over during the plague of the first born.

From that day forward, the mezuzah has always identified a home as being Jewish. Travelling throughout the world, one can often seek out fellow Jews by looking for a mezuzah on the door. In areas where Jews have been exiled (e.g. Eastern Europe and Middle East countries), many doorposts still bear the mark of a mezuzah removed.

The scroll contains the first two paragraphs of the "Shema" prayer, declaring the oneness of God, and commanding us "to write [these words] on the doorpost of your house and on your gates" (Deut. 6:4-9). The second passage (Deut. 11:13-21) teaches that Jewish destiny, both individually and nationally, depends upon fulfilling God's will.God told us to put these verses on our doorpost, to remind us of His "instructions for living."

Many people have the custom to touch the mezuzah when walking through the doorway, and then to kiss their hand. As we pass by, we focus on God's instructions posted on the wall."

I smudge all the time LadyFlamezzz.My home reeks of white sage and sweetgrass.My mother was native american and taught me many ways to protect myself from evil spirits,she and her father.my grandfather.Her powers were unbelievable unless you seen them first hand.Something always protected her,she said it was passed down from her grandmother on her father's side.She told me it is passed on to all the women in her family,including me.What it is i cannot tell you,but i know that there is something there,a shield.My mother also considered herself catholic.I think one of the reasons I feel close to the church these days because a baptism was performed on me as a baby.So basically i'm just finding my way back to a faith that feels right for me.I don't want anything further to do with that voice.It has since gone but I do have this funny suspicion where it came from,but i feel it is not for me to play with.So i won't be doing any recording if and when 'it' decides to return.

I think the ghost hunters,or the ghost adventures crew would have had themselves a ball here on my property.Of course it was no picnic for me.I notice through my faith a portal/gate has been closed,for now.

I am Jewish, too, and I just wanted to add a couple of thoughts. As with anything Jewish, there is much that is subject to interpretation and debate. The mezuzzah is something that does provide protection, according to what I was taught. I was also taught that it comes from the story of Passover, when the Jews placed lamb's blood on their doorposts to signify that they were Jews so that G-d would "pass over" their homes and spare their first born sons during that plague. This was not just for identification, but also for protection, since an "all knowing" G-d would not need to be told who was Jewish and who was not. The scroll inside, if it is kosher, has been prepared according to certain rules by a scribe, and if it is ever to be discarded, it should be buried in the same way as any holy book would be. So, inasmuch as any Jewish text is holy, I think the scroll in a kosher mezuzah would be considered so. When my daughter was ill, and there was no explanation, one of the things that our rabbi suggested (and others, too) was to make sure that a mezuzah was placed on our daughter's bedroom door.

Just some other thoughts on the subject.

Miss Scarlett, :cheer:

Thank you for that info. It is good to have that. You are just a gem!

HI !! I am 3 hours away in Pittsburgh..that's cool you have a chance to take classes etc. I have taught there many times :) It's such a great place. What classes are you planning to take? I am not teaching this summer, but plan to be in for weeks at a time, and just absorb everything hahah

Femmy1, :bunchflowers:

What workshops are you teaching? I am so looking forward to going this spring. It just depends on finances. I want to get a reading done by Lisa Williams. I adore her from what I know.

Thanks!
