Vee, first off good luck. Debi has lots of experience with the Ouija board and helping people in your exact situation. Because of your negative experiences with the Ouija board, this is one of those times to pay careful attention and follow Debi's prescription.
I saw on your profile that you are 19 years old and when I was your age I had many of the same curiosities. Today I am still curious about all forms of divination but I don't go near it. Time and time again again I have personally seen people get themselves in trouble with Ouija boards and mediums and ghost hunts. Plus, cursed items at garage sales and antique shops. A negative entity can attach itself to you and create chaos and disaster in your life. And when your life gets miserable that negative energy will feed off of that energy like a vampire.
Vee, you mentioned that you saw the shadows prior to the Ouija board incident. This can mean that there's already a negative entity around you and you are sensitive enough to perceive it. It naturally follows that you will use some form of divination to try to understand it. That's what people do. But the other side of that double edged sword is a trap.
Here is a story that illustrates this. My Mom and her friends went to a lecture/ reading with a very popular psychic that is a household name. He used to be all over TV and radio and bookstores. My Mom's friend got up to leave for a previously scheduled appointment with another psychic. James Von Prague noticed her and said please don't leave now, you have a negative entity attached to you. She shrugged it off. In the course of a year her life and her family's life fell apart. It brought dangerous disease and addiction. Inexplicable freak accidents. Financial bad luck. Division amongst family members. All of this could have been avoided had she not been curious about how a deceased relative passed over.
I want to put pull up a chair and talk to you Catholic to Catholic about the use of sacramentals in fighting negative entities.( The rest of you can listen in to.
) there are Graces that are freely offered but we have to do our part to. We have to knock. But we have to knock the right way. The Sacrament of Reconciliation before Communion is the strongest most powerful combination available. The 20th century Saints taught this. The Marian apparitions from La Salette to Fatima and afterwards taught this. They gave us all a warning about what was going to happen and a way to mitigate it and protect ourselves.
I would like you to take a look at what Pope Leo XIII did with popularizing the Saint Michael prayer in the late 19th century. The prayer had already existed but he dramatically rewrote it for our times and our protection.
This is my perception but it is shared by people much wiser than me. This is common knowledge in the church .We are in spiritual warfare on Earth and in the Heaven's. The Saints and the Seers saw the invisible battle. Read up on Saint Padre Pio and what he taught. Or Saint Faustina and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Jesus taught them to spread the word about very powerful protections.
And if you need convincing take a look at the Earthly portion of what happened in the last century. It was the bloodiest in the history of the world. There were more Christian Martyrs than all of history combined
Vee, I think you got drafted into this war. But it is up to you with what you were going to do with it and I wish you all the best.
This is my opinion based on my observations and perceptions. It is my way of making sense of it all. Your mileage may vary. I think this is a way to see the macro in the micro.
