That's funny that on a website that is heavily magick based with satanick rituals regarding telekinesis aura cleansing and other things. Your going to disregard use of herbs. I've been a Satanist for a long time and practicing witchcraft comes with it. I'm sorry if you don't understand the natural use of these things in witchcraft. As for reading someone through a post. Anytime you write something touch something interact with anything in any way it leaves an essence I'm just putting out there what I feel. Frankly this person asked for advice by being vague and honestly it saddens me that you are so closed minded. This website and satanism in general is fueled by magick and you can see that on the official website outlining magickal rituals that happen to be of the left hand path. You are entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. Furthermore the existence of herbs can be helpful and useful although you don't find it useful doesn't mean the original creator of this post can't find aid in the use of magickal tools.
1. Herbs, crystals and the like have their uses, nobody said they don't. But they are ultimately props and/or conduits for energy. The essential element of magick is energy and the practitioner's ability to raise, direct and program that energy. Herbs can help, but just using the herb itself, if no energy is being worked with, does nothing. Many witches use props of many kinds, thinking the props are doing the work, when in reality they just have a good intuitive control of energy, that they aren't aware of because they never sat down to think about it.
2. Do not call people close minded based on one post or one reply. People gave proper advice. The things you are suggesting are to be used and understood after the person has an understanding of the basics.
3. We are not just a "left hand path" (the definition of that is fluid anyway, everyone will give you a different answer). Would you consider the Pagan faith of Ancient Egypt "left hand path"? Or Hellenism, or Plato's works, or the Vedas? It is a holistic, Natural Path.
4. You are not seeing anything anyone touched. You are seeing text on your personal screen, from a website, from people you don't know, haven't seen, haven't heard, that haven't touched any of the things you are using to see their messages. It is hard to believe that you can connect and empathize with people's energy with literally zero of their personal info, when even the most advanced SS here find that impossible. If this was something possible, our identities would be easily revealed by the many factions against us. This hasn't happened, so no, you can't. You are simply feeling a negative vibe, from what people have written. There could be intuition at play, and just your psychological opinion on these words, but no energy is being perceived as that is not how energy works. Do not try to convince me otherwise, you will be wasting your time. If you are right, be right in silence and let me be wrong.
