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.

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.

Everyone holds a different opinion on the meaning of magick and its influence upon society based on personal interpretation regarding any particular system of discipline or lack thereof.

J. Burkhart or Archaeus as he is better known by his Pagan contemporaries, maintains his life long vigilance of the arcane and occult since age eight until the present in developing both presence of attitude and commentary which is stark in reflection laced with truth as cutting as the sharpest blade.

A homeowner in Irondequoit New York, not far from the bay, came to us for help because of problems with shadows. Not your average shadows mind you, for these were shadows which move about on their own. Do not require any source of lighting in order to exist or be visible. Can move at tremendous bursts of speed. And seem to possess an extraordinary level of intelligence.

In short, they are an articulate species which are truly deserving of their very own distinction and classification as a unique life form.

This particular homeowner instead of his home being haunted by ghosts for some unknown reason was plagued by the frequent activities of shadow beings.

When dealing with shadow beings it is always best to first determine what precisely is attracting them. Or as in this particular case what was attracting them. For unlike cases involving poltergeist activity, shadow beings are not generally attracted to the emotional hormonal energies of younger adolescents. For people of all age groups have reported encounters with this particular species.

There really isn’t any particular way to handle a shadow being with the exception of using magick. Which depending upon the type of magick will either anger the hell out of it. Which is never a good thing. Or it will prove in becoming acceptable where they will then hopefully choose to honor your request.

Which with shadow beings is always a good thing.

So a hand crafted shamanic talisman of protection was given to the homeowner in the hope that his troublesome shadows would take the hint and leave this particular family to live in peace.

And so far according to the homeowner the shadow beings have done just that.
