Seldom did they think up mischief on their own. The good spirits could love, and wanted by and large to be loved as well. Obviously they see our world they are part of it but how it looks to them I can't guess. They have no need to do anything they drift about unaware of time, for there is no physical reason to care about it, and they do whatever strikes the fancy. And the key to understanding their childish and whimsical behavior lies in this. ![]() Whatever their material makeup is, they have no apparent biological needs, these entities. The good spirits did not evince such dissatisfaction. Very likely, this mixture of flesh and spirit in human beings makes all spirits curious it is the source of our attraction for them but it rankles the bad spirits the bad spirits would know sensuous pleasure, it seems yet they cannot. There was also abundant evidence that what we called bad spirits envied us that we were fleshly and also spiritual-that we had the pleasures and powers of the physical while possessing spiritual minds. For them, the flesh is filth and they would have men and women believe that erotic pleasures and malice are equally dangerous and evil. A very old earthbound ghost could forget that he had ever been alive and possibly the very malevolent spirits are ghosts and that is why they hunger so for the pleasures of the flesh and when they possess some poor human being they belch obscenities. However, one can never be too sure on this point. But they are without question spirits of those who have been human on earth whereas the spirits I have been speaking of are not. And in the Talamasca she used her powers often to comfort those who were plagued by spirits and ghosts.Īnd those with such powers as we had were greatly revered amongst our people, and sought after for advice and miracles and glimpses into the future, and occasionally for putting the spirits of the dead to rest.What I am saying is that we were perceived as good and we had our place in the scheme of things. As all of you know-as you've come to learn in one way or another since you entered this house-my child, Jesse, was a witch. It may be physical for it seemed to run in our family line through the women and to be coupled invariably with the physical attributes of green eyes and red hair. Spirits find them downright irresistible and to get the notice of these people, the spirits will do all kinds of tricks. These are people who for reasons we may never understand attract spirits. Then there are those known as clairvoyants or mediums, or channelers. And there are witches now, though most no longer understand what their powers are or how to use them. There have always been witches, as far as I know. They told us we could not imagine how big they were but then they love to brag one must constantly sort from their statements the part which makes sense. ![]() Their size was enormous, she said, but then they said this too. To pay attention to the bad spirits-to invite them to hang about-was to court disaster, because ultimately they could not be controlled. The good spirits were useful the bad spirits were dangerous and nerve-wracking. Let me continue now to define the properties of a witch, as such things relate to me and my sister, and to what happened to us.īut you can see from what I'm saying that labels such as good and evil were self-serving. Yet I cling to my old language rather instinctively.īut I'll say more on this later on. In fact the poetry of modern science has helped me to understand them in retrospect better than any other philosophical tool. I suspect that they are matter and energy in sophisticated balance as is everything else in our universe, and that they are no more magical than electricity or radio waves, or quarks or atoms, or voices over the telephone-the things that seemed supernatural only two hundred years ago.
