I know that it isn’t really a question but I have a few questions in here and I hope someone can answer them. I also hope that this question will find someone who doesn’t just take me for a nut-case, leave a sarcastic answer and move on. Please, this is a very real and serious matter to me. Also, this may sound like something out of a book, and it does to me too, but I’m not making it up!
Okay, let me start my explain my situation because the questions will be hard to answer, be warned I tend to wonder while I talk (or type) so there will be some apparently frivolous information but I felt it needed to be put in. I’ve recently… uncovered some powers that were almost completely unknown to me before. The little knowledge I did have came from the Harry Potter books and such, but that doesn’t count for much does it. My friend explained to me, if I can remember this correctly, that most people have a echo of the past in them. That echo holds power, like magic and that but not all Harry Potter or that, more ancient. In some people, it is stronger than others and by all means stronger than it really should be.
Just my luck, I seem to be one of those people, as there is a ten year old ghost named John who follows me everywhere and shadows that have started to dog my heels. There are also others like John, but he’s stuck around the longest so far. This is one of those things were I don’t think I’d be able to talk about with my parents or that… I’m sixteen so I sill live at home just to let you know. So there are only two people who I can talk to about this. My one friend who is surprisingly knowledgeable in the matter and my other who doesn’t know all that much about the subject but is willing to believe me. We suspect she has a similar power to my own. The shadows scare me and I’ve actually started to carry around a five pointed star seal with me everywhere. It’s like everywhere I go there is this dark thing breathing down my neck, but it’s not always right behind me, but always there.
Most of my discomfort about talking to other people about his comes from two of my other friends thinking I AM a complete nut-case for believing in all this, but they can’t sense the things that follow me. The good or the bad (lucky them). Also, I noticed in class that when I did take my tarot deck out that people were willing to come over and have me read their fortunes and all, but they didn’t really believe in what I was reading. Admittedly I’m not very good at the show part of it. Don’t take that the wrong way to all those who do read tarot cards a lot. As by now you should know I completely believe in this, but it always looks better if you’re not looking in a book for help. I asked one person if they believed in and they told me no and they were just trying to waste some time. As you can guess that didn’t feel very good.
So now my actual questions!
1. Should I approach my parents with the matter? If so, how the heck I’m I supposed to do that?
2. Is there anything I can do about the things that follow me? I’m fine with John and most of the spirits like him but the darkness is really creepy and I could do without it.
3. I’ve heard that you should always show respect to spirits, is it a bad idea to try and get ride of or ward off the shadows?
4. Are there any good reference sites that I could read more about this stuff?
