Awkward conversations.

Most of us use shields pretty much all the time when we are out and about, this is true. As I have some pretty major skills, I try to keep myself shielded for my own protection. I will say, however, if I was in a bar and you came up out of the blue and asked if I was a witch, you may have found yourself with a mysterious headache soon after....or saying ribbit...would have depended on the mood of the day. :):p

This was an interesting read. I have no abilities so I guess I never gave the reasoning of when to approach people about readings a thought.

I have known a lot of witches of the Wiccan sort. They generally don't trigger much in me. One or two seemed to have some special perceptions but most were just in it as a sort of spiritual club. I have met a couple of the white type witches that were very strong and easy to note. I didn't have to ask them. I smiled, we looked at each other and one of them winked at me. We recognized each other for what we were.

I have also me one of the dark sorts. He was a male witch and pure dark. We sort of walked around each other like a couple of male lions. He had several of his mostly female coven members with him and was trying to work on a friend of mine. I knew my friend was weak and I tried to convince him that he didn't want to have anything to do with that sort of stuff. I didn't stay around for long. They gave off bad vibes all around. He didn't listen to me and let them basically use him up and then when he had nothing left to give they dropped him. It was as if he was cursed. They stole his soul. I tried to help but there was now a darkness in him that I couldn't stop or help. He went from Married with a son, owned his home, a good job and an upper-middle-class life to eventually he died in Houston as a street person that overdosed.

That was the first time that I had ever met evil face to face and knew it. I have known some bad people. I have even had a couple of friends that walked a little on the dark side. He was the first person that I had ever met that was like a bottomless pit of evil. There was no humanity left in the hull that was his body. His witches were mostly of no great power that I could note. The only thing that I have ever seen that was like him was Charles Manson and the way his people had given up their humanity to him. the guy even looked a little like Manson except for having jet black hair. Creepy!!!
 
It might be that you can sense shielding, or just a feeling of a raised or different energy.
Powerful people have powerful auras....Not that I can read auras. Something I can't do.

I will agree that you can "feel" when someone is shielding.... usually because of the LACK of what you feel from them, but Debi's comment is so true that a lot of ppl use shields or blocks for so many different reasons, sometimes simply just to block the emotional overload.... shielding doesn't make someone a witch though....lol... picking up feelings or intent if being projected is a whole different thing than trying to intentionally read someone,( if you can do that type thing), intentional reading should only be done with someones permission.....(it is a very fine line im sure, but you must set those boundries and try to stay on the side of not crossing into someones privacy.)

One of the Wiccan witches that I spent a lot of time with as actually an Italian Strega Witch. It ran strong in the women in her family. Before I met her I had little in the way of fine control and probably not much in the way of direction. She was the second of two guides that I have had that helped me to come to terms with my life. The first saved me. I was not able to shield or deal with what I was feeling. I, at times when I was young, couldn't separate what were my feelings and what were not my feelings. As I look back now I see a lot of things differently.

Without shields or understanding when my mom went through the change and had a hysterectomy she was emotionally PMS for several years. I was doing puberty and my sensitivity was growing. It came hairline close to killing me. My opinion and the general consensus was that I was crazy. Nothing seemed t help. Finally, after three hellified years, I met my first guide. It was so strange. He was a 70 something Methodist Minister and WITCH and I was a stupid lost 17-year-old teetering on the edge of insanity. In his special way, he pulled my mind together and explained to me what was happening. just having someone tell me that I wasn't crazy was pretty refreshing. The clairvoyance I had become comfortable with but I didn't understand and couldn't control my empathetic senses.

He taught me how to still my mind and how to separate what I felt truly from what I felt empathetically. When I did this I guess shields just spontaneously happened. As time passed they became stronger and then I learned how to peak through them without letting what I found to become a part of me.

He was an amazing man that drew together so many things and made them into a single blended faith. He had no problem putting his paranormal together with his religious faiths. Do no harm lest it returns to you threefold is just another way of saying do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Jesus was a son of God and a very powerful witch. He taught me that the true power of a witch is in their love. If you only allow your actions to be ruled by love your strength will grow.

Dark Witches have lost their way and allowed anger, resentment, and greed to twist them. They can no longer do good. He also told me that they could never harm me as long as I refused to allow them to anger me and offered them only love and pity. He was right. When I met evil he tried to reach me. He would have liked to anger me or offend me. I recognized in him what he was and just smiled and laughed at his efforts and wished that I could remove his pain. You could see his frustration. He was a very unpleasant man.

I wish that we would come out of our dark ages. Children need to be watched and prepared for the possibility that they may have abilities. Their lives would be so much better if they could receive guidance before they were forced to deal with it with no understanding. In a lot of cases like mine, I think that the dark can easily find root in the pain and misery. I was fortunate. It left scars on my mind and body but didn't destroy me as it could have.

Beautifully said, and although I have a similar story with a mentor, I am not going to tell it today and just let your story shine through for a bit.
 
One thing I will mention here. The energy of the universe, designed by the Divine, is used by everyone, both witches and non witches. It's all intention based, so don't let the term Witch throw anyone off here. Different approaches on utilizing it at times, but it's all One. Don't let the semantics get in the way. Some use it through prayer and going straight to the One. Some try to shift it with intention through the Source. It's all names..words. One power behind it all.
