Beyond The Normal

Dedicated individuals who actively pursue and engage the paranormal and supernatural world may do so through implementing a variety of different methods of detection. Where some may involve electronic devices such as meters and gauges which will reflect any changes within an immediate environment caused by what may be an anomaly. While others may use their natural abilities as psychics and mediums along with unscientific devices powered more by faith such as dowsing rods or crystals.

Individual preferences may vary and are exclusively governed by personal belief in what works.

Now for the record I am Shamanic in my beliefs. Which also involve my knowing on various advanced forms of ritualistic and Shamanic practices. Where the beauty of my belief is that it blends perfectly in with my paranormal and supernatural investigations and research.

I’ve been of my particular faith now for more than 40 years. So why wouldn’t I consider blending my spiritual knowledge when dealing with the paranormal especially should it ever involve interacting with any malevolent forces where sometimes what might be construed as a malevolent force may just prove itself misunderstood.

For this is where experience can come in handy in being able to tell the difference.

On rare occasions I might use a magickal implement while working with spirits. But I never rely on store bought items where instead I always hand craft and magically empower my own such as this power amulet which I call a “Shadow Amulet”.

This is one of my more stronger pieces of which I will not reveal the other side so that it may not be easily copied. For anything of a magickal nature must always be special and uniquely tuned to its owner and no one else. I will periodically craft special magickal items for people in need while reminding them that magick should never be abused or used for selfish purposes.

Some people might feel that magick has no place in the paranormal field. But as I see it, magick and spirits are both natural elements which blend well together.

It happened during a Rochester Pagan Pride event of several years ago that J. Burkhart aka Lord Archaeus, had spoken publicly about his views and beliefs on magick, Rochester Pagan Pride, and real Pagan unity.

J. Burkhart continues today as a private instructor on Witchcraft and the paranormal.

There are two particular ways to dealing with spirits.

One being the scientific method through analytical deduction and instrumentation.

The other through more spiritual integration and psychological comprehension.

Both require dedication and in-tuned centered concentration thus assuring increased accuracy. For in this field any mistake will either leave you chasing mirages down lonely corridors or facing endless frustrations over every anomalous event.

One may approach any phantasm with either gadget or conviction and yet know whether or not what may be real or maybe not. Though electronically speaking I have yet to hear of any equipment plagued by any emotional intent except by the hand which controlled it.

Pursuit through spiritual means will always produce results whether the individual is disciplined in controlling their emotions to a stand point of professional indifference or an incompetent moron who quests for fame and glory even at the sacrifice of his own family because spirit will always be more drawn to those living which acknowledge their presence.

Now we approach the cautionary portion of this writing.

Many people within the paranormal quickly become entranced by individuals offering to come into your home so they may rid you of your demonic presence or what have you. Where as wonderful as such offers may seem should be approached with great caution where the individual or group should be independently and thoroughly researched before ever permitting such people into your home.

This should be common sense though unfortunately some of these people claiming themselves as experts in the field of ghost hunting or even demonology with lets say maybe 4 years experience should always be regarded suspiciously. Especially should the “helpful” individual or group might not be so spiritually pure themselves in further worsening an already chaotic home haunting.

Our approach is to empower the public so that they are better able to handle their own haunting crisis which is far better and makes much more sense than always bringing strangers into their home.

And the reason for this is because it is the family which has to deal and live with a problem haunting where the visiting individual or group does not.

Now I suggest you copy this image onto your own computer and conduct your own preferably open minded analysis where you will see numerous suggestible forms for yourself. But should you refuse to believe, it changes nothing on the existence of such elements.

Angel Of Death

Within this and all other cultures exist one primary consideration which holds more distinction than any other emotionally interwoven societal concern.

A singular aspect of existence which through the ages has shaped our reality while also being responsible for the creation of almost every single religion on earth. Where the very threat of its presence by governing powers have many times been skillfully implemented as a means of obtaining absolute control over the population of any given country in the world.

Even that of our very own.

It is a power which make equals of us all regardless of creed, religion, position of authority, or even status of wealth.

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Rich or Poor.

Prominent or Destitute.

I present for your esteemed consideration.

Death.

And though there exist numerous artistic renderings and symbolic depictions which represent its presence and subsequent influence over the living. Seldom if ever had an actual representation of its true form been captured on film before now.

Well, at least with a spreading of angelic wings of which I personally captured in Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, New York.

Consider this a glimpse into what not only my personal experience through daily life is like but of also any individual Shamanic or otherwise having been blessed or cursed with the abilities of a true psychic medium.

Where many may scoff at what we claim to see and observe what may elude the vision of others.
