We played with them as just a game as kids, and no harm done, but once we were into our teens it was discouraged-my great aunt who was something of an herbalist and curandera said it could be used as a gateway for evil, and that God would not like that. She told us to pray our rosaries for the souls of those who had died in a bad way on the property instead.

My first husband bought a very haunted house as his first one when he was single, and talked three of us into holding a séance in it-reluctantly, on my part, because a mentally ill woman had committed suicide there-bad juju-that was the last time I touched a oujia board, too...

Let it suffice to say that after candles blowing out repeatedly, doors slamming, toiletries crashing to the floor from a cabinet in the bathroom, and the heater turning off in the middle of the night when it was snowing outside, I never set foot in that place again. He put it on the market two weeks later and moved in with me since we were getting married that Spring anyhow. The new owner tore down the place within a year and built a new house and garage there.

honestly, i think i’d be in a nuthouse today had any of the stuff you have talked about happening to you, had happened to me. the nuns in my catholic elementary schools told vivid stories about the devil, so i never doubted him, but i have thoughout life had dreams where i was just praying and praying for protection from the devil.

i also wear a st benedict medal:

the Jubilee medal of St. Benedict. The medal is said to have many pious purposes: 1. It protects the wearer against the Devil 2. It obtains conversion for sinners 3. It protects against those tormented or tempted by the Devil and especially against temptations against purity 4. It procures assistance at the hour of death 5. It gives strength and healing to the sick and is a protection against pestilence 6. Expectant mothers have obtained special assistance for a safe delivery 7. It protects against storms and other perils on land and sea 8. It helps heal animals who are infected with disease St. Benedict is one of the most important saints of the Western Medieval Church. He had a key role in establishing monasticism as a vocation. He is said to have worked many miracles by use of the sign of the Cross and also to have vanquished many evil spirits.

I have rubbed the medal on chanel's chest when she has had one of her attacks.
