    Could you go into a bit more detail about what you guys are do when you are "trying out" these things?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 lapses


    Usually, when we meet up we talk about whatever it is we've being studing during that month or so. Usually everyone has different areas of experience and expertise so generally they share what they know. Its kinda like an experts exchange. For example 2 weeks ago, one of our members taught the rest of us how to use a black mirror (something he had studied for about a year before-hand). And just there tonight it seems one of our members met a girl, who has had numerous experiences of the "old hag syndrome".

    How many of you are there and how often do you meet? Do you have a website?

    "old Hag syndrome"..What the Flip.....does that not happen to every girl once a month

    Hehe this is a different type of old hag syndrome.

    Danny, skeptics say its sleep paralysis and occultists (for want of a better word) say its the old hag syndrome. Some people who have experienced it say they see "the old hag", actually alot of people have reported it being a young girl... thats why it's still "unsolved" and still floating about in paranormal websites.

    How many members we have... thats hard to answer. Firstly we aren't an official group per se, just a few friends who like to meet up once or twice a month. Probably about 4 - 8 people. Usually we wouldn't mix with people we dont know, unless you were a friend of a friend. It was just recently we decided it wouldnt do any harm to expand our horizons and get out and about and meet new people.. get more people involved with us.

    Oh.. we dont endorse any particular religion, belief system but saying that we're not keen on meeting skeptics... from experience they have ruined some perfectly good nights.

    Yeah Old Hag Sympthom is a strange one. Again to a skeptic this also covers alien abduction. But this is somthing that science ties in with sleep paralysis.
    I suffer from sleep paralysis, but i am yet to see somthing. Even when i am going through a spell of it i try and create images to look like people but no use.
    Alot of people say the old hag is a type of haunting that happens to people during slight depression. It is also consistant during certain dietry intakes .

    I douth you meant to sound like this but its not a great advert to draw people in. ONly if your a friend of a friend etc etc, Since most of us here would be open minded and non judgemental you could explain more what you are doing in these meet ups in more detail, you have the happiness of no one knowing who you are here, but vague outlines leaves people to read between the line and imho it sounds like a group to advoid to a lot of people. Dont be too quick to dismiss skeptics real skeptics other wise you could end up with a room full of people who just accept blindly whats been said and could be harmful to your group or individual.

    yeah it does come across a bit cultish tbh. What is sex magick by the way ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    No one going to ask about the Sex Magick? Wheres Thaedydal? :D

    Yes, can you expand a bit more on what you do, and how it is done. For example, do you have a trained medium in your group, otherwise the ouija board is pretty dangerous. What do you do to protect yourselves?

    You say no skeptics, does this mean that whatever the topic of the evening is, everyone is expected to accept it without question?

    TBH this sounds like something I would be not quite comfortable with, without more detail.

    I'm sorry I didn't realise I was giving off bad impressions. Maybe Im not being clear enough.

    The reason it stayed "friends of friends" was because we never advertised ourselves. We were just a few friends who liked to get together every now and then to talk about what we got up to during the month. You know, we didn't ever plan on becomming an 'official group'.
    So naturally enough the only people who really heard about us were "friends of friends".

    We dont encourage you believe everything. Like I said, we all have our own different beliefs, Im pretty agnostic at the momemt. Whereas another girl in the group is a hardcore gardnerian wiccan. There's another girl who's a "buddhist". And then 2 other girls just kinda float from one belief system to the next.

    My skeptics comment: I dont mind people being a bit skeptical, but one night we had a skeptic who brought everybody else down. Constantly asking for proof. He insisted ouija boards are nothing more than the idomotor effect and refused to even talk about messages we had previously gotten (as it was "complete tripe"). We talked about magic and success we'd had, he starts trying to work the probability of the outcome happening anyway. We talk about banshee's he insisted it was moaning cats and threatened to leave if we didn't change the subject. We asked him what he wanted to talk about, he bounces around the question 3 or 4 times. Since then our attitude has kinda being, we believe there is definitly a paranormal world.... but we're not trying to prove it. If you want proof - look elsewhere. We're willing to accept it ourselves and experiment with it.

    @ Helena.Ryan You dont have to believe whatevers "on-topic" that night. Just dont be a complete skeptic, like in the above description. Or else your just going to ruin it for everybody else. 2 of the girls we work with, you could almost say are mediums in their own right. One of the girls has seen auras before she even knew the meaning of the word. And can sense spirits, ghosts etc on entering a room. Alot of different things are dangerous in the wrong hands, not just ouija boards. But yes we always take any necessary precautions when doing anything that may be dangerous.

    @ kshiel At the moment we usually meet up once or twice a month. If we dont plan on doing anything other than talk we usually make a night of it. You know 4 or 5 girls sitting around a table with a bottle of wine. If we do plan on doing something, then we meet up at where ever it is. For example we stayed in a "Haunted house" one night. Nothing happened. We've spent more than one night alone in forests. We done a fair few wiccan rituals, Egyptian rituals. Weve spent countless hours doing buddhist meditations. We've done different reiki exercises. And then we've tried out some of the usual - palm reading, tarot, tea leaves etc..

    Sex magick... nobodies heard about it..??? You should look it up on google. Its really popular, esp with the guys. To give a really quick overview.... If you do a spell just say... what do you think is powering it?? Actually forget that for a sec, have you ever heard of "chi"??? Martial artists use it to break blocks. Thats a form of energy and an example of what you can do with it. But anyway, there are various ways of building up this energy and sex is one of those ways. And you can do alot more than just smash blocks with it.

    .
    Ah, see my idea of a skeptic and your is different :) a lot of the skeptics around here genuinely ask q's and seem interested. Then you get the type of who you seem to have had that night, who will tell you you didn't see what you saw etc. They're less skeptics and more critics.

    With regards to the lady who has seen auras and can sense things, ths is really not that unusual. I would say to just be sure you know what you are experimenting with. Whether or not people in the room have good/bad intentions. This type of activity, especially in a group, can attract unsavoury attention.

    What do you do as a group to protect yourselves?

    Oh I've heard about it but to see what you describe above as "sex magick" seems weird to me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 lapses


    Well the chi was just an anology. Im not saying chi energy and sex magick energy are the same thing. I was going to explain it properly, but than halfway through I realised its not the easiest thing in the world to explain to the average person who might not know much about energy, energy direction and that sort of stuff in the first place. And the chi is an example everyone knows about. But like i said, your not going to breaking blocks with it. Your probably going to be aligning your chakras (like the egyptians used it for) with, or building up strenght in your aura, or any number of things really.

    I know alot about unsavoury attention.. we have (a good few years ago) had 3 or 4 occassion where we werent as carful as we should have being. I remeber one time in particular with a pendulum, assuming it wasn't "too hardcore" didnt think there was any real risk of anything. But soon enough we attracted alot of bad attention (for obvious reasons - which werent so obvious back then), but (and im still proud to this day) we got rid of them ourselves.

    Group protection... depends on what we're doing really. Emm banishing rituals, cleansing rituals.. clean chakras, clean auras, room cleansing. We have a few tricks up our sleeves that we use (mostly just rituals)... im not going to post them here. Can pm if you want.

    not really into the whole spells/protection thing

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    Its impossible to know unless you meet someone and have dealings with them - which is why your group seems like a good idea.

    Its hard to get across some things via text on a discussion forum so some might take their own meanings from language and terminology used.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    No, no need to PM me, I just wanted to make sure. I know of one group, where I asked a similar question and was asked "what do you mean protection" :rolleyes: silly, but wanted to check.

    Thanks :)

    I'm a bit confused about chi, sex magik (:confused: sounds very interesting) and the breaking blocks analogy. Can you, and 6th, explain please.

    Thanks again.

    Iamhaunted - what do you mean, you're not into the "whole spells/protection thing."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 782 ✭✭✭DANNY22XX


    Sex magic or sexual magic is a term for various types of sexual activity used in magical, theurgical, or otherwise religious and spiritual pursuits.

    The fundamental premise of sex magic is the concept that the sexual energy, or libido, of the human organism is the most potent force it contains, and harnessing the unique states that arise through sexual activity provides a special experiential conduit for the transcendence of nominal reality.

    Two fundamental applications of sexual magic concern the use of the orgasm. Some schools of thought base their use of sex upon the power that the orgasmic release of the sexual energy contains. An example of this type of sex magic is the Great Rite of Wicca, a ritual that involves either symbolic or actual sexual intercourse. This union between the High Priestess and the High Priest represents the union between the Maiden Goddess and the Lover God.

    Alternatively, according to Samael Aun Weor, the orgasm is the antithesis of the pursuit of sexual sublimation of the sexual energy into higher forms of creative and spiritual energy rather than expelling it through orgasm.

    Now I am glad I asked the questions, your futher explaination puts it into a better context for most to understand, we all have a verbal construction that can vary and make it difficult to understand what we are talking about to others. Good luck with the group and dont be afraid to bring up some of your topics for discussion here. I dont post alot these days but I love a good read.

    Iamhaunted - what do you mean, you're not into the "whole spells/protection thing."

    I dont really have a massive belief in spells as such. I do believe in safeguarding ones mind alright by approaching such things in the right state of mind (and generally avoiding things like ouiji boards) , but not really in protection spells etc etc - but thats just one mans opinion and nothing more.

    chi energy though is very interesting. probably some form of mind over matter


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,772 ✭✭✭✭Whispered


    Oh I know what you mean, when i say protection, I didn't mean spells. :)

    Chi (or Ki) is indeed very interesting. Thats as far as my knowledge goes, I still want to learn more about this sex magic and breaking blocks :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 96 ✭✭Poltergoose


    Hmm..so sex magic is just sex? Thought it was what Debbie Magee got off Paul Daniels..."but not a lot" at his age.
    So anywho it is just sex..so does this make me a magician when I do it? and does pulling a rabbit out of the hat mean what I think it might.

    Emm if you look on youtube, there are lots of videos of buddhist monks using newspapers and glass bottles to break 5 and 6 stone blocks in one go.

    Actually read this article

    http://www.mymultiplesclerosis.co.uk/stranger-than-fiction/self-made-mummy.html

    and then watch this video

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-wuOYlxMSY

    Thats some of the meditations we do... Like i already mentioned, one the girls is a buddhist and she is very keen on this stuff. She's being studying it for about 12 years or so and now teaches the rest of us what she has learned.

    Seems like a great you have a great group. What else do you do? It sounds very interesting.

    Put a brick in the oven for 24 hours and you could break it with your breath.

    They re "tricks" of the trade.

    Actual use of chi/ki is taken more seriously in healing, sensing attacks etc.

    Perhaps this is true, but you can't say that this is always the case.

    Although I agree that I would be more familiar with ki as a healing energy.
