#necromency

Today was insane! I can’t believe I was capable of something so amazing. I feel somewhat overwhelmed with all this information that I learned today... At work I practiced with the pendulum on my breaks, getting used to the feel of its swing and the energy I felt pass through my left palm (I hold the pendulum chain with my right hand and my left is cupping underneath). With practice, it became easier to use. I had to be careful I didn’t overuse it though... I don’t want mine to break like Loryns did. 

Today Four fantastic things happened and I will write them in sequence;

When I got home I lit some candles and saged the room and my grandmother and I gathered at the kitchen table to perform a seance... With myself acting as the medium. I had never done one before so I had no idea how it would go. Earlier in the day, I made a dowsing chart with every letter of the alphabet and the numbers 0 through 9, I’ll post an image of it later. 

We sat at the table and managed to contact 4 different spirits. 

The first spirit we contacted was the older woman that haunts our apartment, she is warm and kind and she smells of Jasmine and lavender, she has short white hair to her shoulders and wears a nightgown. She likes to be in the kitchen when people are cooking as if judging the pasta abominations I create. I adore her. Now my grandmother and I didn’t know her name... Only that it started with an “E”, after having a brief conversation with her (yes/no answers) we got her to spell her name out for us on my dowsing chart by pushing the pendulum to different letters. She told us her name was “Ellie” and she seemed delighted to have someone finally take the time to ask her. I felt a little tired after the conversation with her but we kept going.

The Second spirit we contacted was a man named Jack. Jack used to live in our building, (his wife is still alive and lives a floor above us). He wears an old-fashioned fedora and a tweed suit with leather elbow pads. He has a tendency to jump out at people in the elevator and to give them a good scare, or just hang out to chat. I like him a lot, he was very warm and kind and had a good sense of humor. He watches over his wife and takes care of her, he is content and happy where he is. I worry though that when she passes he might turn malevolent. Things are well though, for now.

The Third spirit we contacted was my grandmothers best friend Sandy. Sandy had passed away in this very apartment from lung cancer in 2014, I had met her once as a toddler but I don’t really remember her. She was more than willing to commune with the both of us, answering all our questions and even cracking jokes. She told us she enjoys the afterlife and it's much more “relaxing” (her words exactly). While communicating with her we used a pair of her spectacles to use as a focal point for channeling her... something I had read online about opening direct lines to spirits using objects that belonged to them. I asked Sandy if she had a message for Grandma before I ended the communication. I got a strong “yes” from the pendulum and it started pointing out different letters on the dowsing chart, I would ask after each letter was pointed to if it was correct and receive a yes or no. The first word in her message was the word “Awesome” Which had my grandmother super confused because Sandy had rarely used words like “awesome” in life. But I assured her it was Sandy we were speaking to and we continued. The message ended up being “Awesome Beer” which made my grandmother burst into tears. Sandy apparently was nicknamed “J-cloth” because she always loved having a cold beer when she was out with friends. Sandy told us that she was looking out for Grandma as she always has been, but her spirit was attached to her grandaughter Sheyanna, whom she raised since she was a baby. Sheyanna this year is only 13 years old and is the sweetest soul you’ll ever meet. Unfortunately, her parents were abusive so she has been sent to live in foster homes. Hopefully, soon she will find her forever home. The conversation had to have lasted over an hour with Sandy alone.

I was exhausted at this point so we ended the communication and took a short break, made popcorn and coffee and chatted about what had happened. 

The last spirit we spoke to that night was my great-grandmother, Grandma’s mother Iris. The conversation was maybe a half hour to 40 minutes. We used an old silver locket with her name engraved on it (will post images later of all objects used). I met her once as a small child and I doubt she would have remembered me because during this time she suffered from dementia and Alzheimers, and passed away soon after. My Grandma (who from this point on I will refer to as “Granny K”) cried through most of the communication. She was stuck asking questions I had written down for her because Iris refused to speak to me. Probably because I was someone she did not know. A note to mention before I continue is that Iris was Christian before she passed and a firm believer in Heaven. I had Granny K ask Iris if she was in Heaven (I got a firm “YES” from the pendulum). Iris also mentioned that Granny K’s brother Rob was up there with her (he passed a few years ago from a mix of diabetes and cancer). I asked her about Granny K’s father (note: this is the only question she answered me directly about) who was abusive and a horrible evil human being and she (Iris) bluntly stated that he was rotting in Hell. Another note when we called upon her when beginning the session she would not answer to her married last name but only to her maiden name. We said our goodbyes to all the spirits we spoke to and thanked them for speaking, ended the session a little early and sat for a while at the table just contemplating everything.

Granny K and I were in tears, because of how emotionally exhausting the whole thing was. I had spent over two hours acting as a medium and was near fainting from lack of strength. My right arm had grown completely numb and was shaking badly (I guess this is why psychics use a stand for their pendulum), but I felt weak as if I hadn’t eaten or slept in a few days (which I’ve done). I felt clammy and numb like my blood sugar and iron were low. I ended up dropping my necklace (pendulum) and it broke in two upon impact. I Krazy glued it together and went to bed. Perhaps it was fragile from overuse, or maybe it was just me.”
