Rochester Paranormal

Within the Western New York region and much beyond there exists little acceptance of anyone different or unique. And even less so if substantiated or confirmed an abnormality which may defy rational comprehension. Which may serve in explaining our societies willing eagerness to embrace those who claim themselves different with little or no proof of authenticity while exclaiming themselves superior in comparison to all others.

Those which compare themselves against such enigmas do so fueled by their own inferiority.

Our species is prone to fearing anything of which it can not understand.

In America today you hear a great deal about those practicing the Wiccan religion. But before the name Wicca became popular were its early predecessors who were first known as Witches.

So while the name Wicca seemingly overnight had replaced most things Witch, are still many Pagan traditionalists who have chosen to adhere with the original natural practices and worship under the heading of Witchcraft.

In the Rochester New York region there continues one tradition which has chosen to remain faithful within the old religion by remaining separate and neutral from all others claiming themselves Wiccan.

We hope you will enjoy and perhaps learn from this moving ritual involving women, Goddess, power and authority, in drawing down the moon with High Priestess Lady Cyn of the Shadow Lore tradition.

I get asked all the time on how do I acquire the images that I do.

Well for one I credit my 30 plus years of experience in the paranormal field.

Which also involves a spirituality which is deeply entrenched in the supernatural.

And last but not least I am a straight edge paranormal researcher.

No alcohol.

No cigarettes.

No illegal drugs.

Straight edge.

But more importantly?

I believe in what I am doing.

Latest image comes from the basement of a local manufacturer who reported having something more than rats.

It was the Christmas time of year when Father Rojas at the Old Mission Plaza Church in Los Angeles discovers that the statue of the Infant Jesus is missing from the nativity scene.

So who to call?

Why of course Dragnet!

But why the contradiction in terms with a title like The Big Little Jesus?

Simple. In the realm of Dragnet were episodes which all had the word “Big” in its title.

Other examples of this were The Big Book, The Big Kill, The Big Badge, and The Big Pug in naming but a few where I’m sure by now you get the point.

So enjoy this arresting holiday classic and remember, Just the facts, ma’am.

“Dragnet” The Big Little Jesus

Thanksgiving was mixed this year with near tragedy and much to be thankful.

Some a**hole ran a stop light and almost cleaned our clocks with a large 4×4 which somehow magically went from a sure broadside to circling around the circumference of our front end and clearing the other side complete with screeching and smoking tires in never once coming any closer than two feet the entire time.

Call it luck or whatever you may want.

I call it protective magick and the power of our belief in God.

Good luck to those if any had desired our harm.

So thanksgiving was truly a day this year to be thankful of which was filled with family, love, and food, where now the turkey frame from our feast sits outdoors so that any indigenous nocturnal feral may have their go at it before the day flocks come with the morning wind and carry aloft the remains.

It’s traditional offering around here and comes complete with prayers.

I thank thee lady and lord for all things received as well as thy protection and reprieve from what may soon face its own reflection.

Yes change is inevitable.

And thy will be done.

Once again I wish all our family and friends a safe and bountiful Thanksgiving.

I wasn’t really sure what to call this picture.

I captured it the same night I did my outdoor spell casting for protection.

This is the type of activity which was occurring afterwards.

Which is why I finally decided to call it “Residual Anomalies” for lack of any better description.

It appears to be several entities or spirits forming a line from right to left of the tree.

And what I always find interesting is when such phenomena seems to form what appears to be spindly like appendages.

Though from much of the phenomenon I have experienced throughout my life those so called spindly appendages can be rather strong which is a personal opinion gathered by being grabbed, pushed, and shoved through the years by such supposed entities.

This time of year by far is more unknown with things now lurking within the extended length of night increasing with each passing day until the time of Winter Solstice.

It can be a solemn time reflecting death and rebirth as much of the natural world within a northern seasonal climate will hibernate by drawing deep within itself. While those species which do not hibernate may find itself tested by the harshness of the season which also will separate the strong from the weak in further assuring a breeds survival.

Late fall and winter can also be a time of desolate beauty with its barren trees and majestic starry night filled skies while nothing remains to prevent even the slightest breeze from frolicking to and fro across a now naked landscape.

In olden days your wood supply would have been at its peak while your gardens bounty would now be stored away for gradual consumption through what once was known as leaner times.

Magick had likewise abounded during the darker cold months as such weather would draw people closer to the hearths fire in sharing tales and knowledge while raising spirits and keeping warm.

The presence of spirits is felt more this time of year as many more people stay indoors for both warmth and protection along with the fact that fewer now can afford to spend any additional money for entertainment.

It is wise for everyone to protect themselves and their home against an unintentional invasion by what may be hostile entities and spirits seeking out an unprotected habitation for which to claim as its own.

Call in the Ghost Busters or some other paranormal group offering to cleanse and bless your home against spiritual marauders?

Well not unless you’re stupid and like the idea of permitting strangers into your home which might bring in other elements such as diseases or worse within the sanctity of your home and family when you can conduct your own blessing all by yourself.

Remember, it’s your home, and nobody knows your home better than you do.

First you will need a light weight deep bowl. Some table salt. A pinch or two of your favorite dried flowers or herbs. Should you have any favorite scented oil a couple drops of that would be also good.

Now, first you add two of your fingers thickness of water to the bowl.

Add a pinch or two of whatever salt you have handy.

Add a pinch or two of your favorite dried flower or herb or both.

Add two drops of your favorite scented oil should any such exist.

At this point you must think of a prayer you would like to use in protecting your home. It can either be well known like the Lords Prayer. Or any other prayer you may happen to like. Or even one you can make up yourself.

Remember what is most important is intent. Because if you don’t feel it then it may not contain the potency you require.

Now as you begin reciting your prayer, stir the mixture slowly clockwise 13 times with the index finger of whichever hand you use the most meaning if you’re right or left handed.

Should you be ambidextrous don’t be a smart ass and just pick a damn finger!

Once done you will then wet the palm of your hand and press it against all four sides inside your home including any second floor which will create a shield against spiritual intruders on every level of your home.

Nothing guaranteed results may vary

But compared to doing nothing just take a look at our image representing some of what is floating around outside this very minute which may or may not be harboring the best intentions.

When anyone performs spell work and especially outdoors there is always the risk of attracting spiritual elements because of the forces which are being utilized. Now many of your wannabe mighty magick users think magick circle and poof send them packing back to the gates of hell.

Actually it’s much more complex than that and requires a hell of a lot of discipline that many are just too lazy to consider.

But when you’re performing magick of any kind any spirit be it light or night will come to investigate like a shark in the ocean which means you better be powerful and be ready for anything even if it means you might not come back out alive.

Hostile spirits are a fact of magickal life and like any other spirit will require experience to contain and control or else it will do so to you. And this is why it is wise to take precautions in protecting your home and loved ones from such forces.

Because when dealing with the paranormal it is always best to be prepared.
