Winter is coming! It's finally starting to cool down! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO happy! No more sweating to High Heaven.
|
That's nuts about the shop closing. So you're out of a job then?
|
Yay for winter!
And yea. I'm jobless after only a year. It sucks, but I wasn't happy there so I guess I should count my blessings. |
Hey.
I wasn't really raised a Pagan.... more like adopted the religion after reading up on it. The whole thing fascinated me, and after reading alot, I started calling myself a Pagan. Although, I'm 15 now, and a little rusty with Paganism, but most of the stuff I can remeber. I'm even using some of the things in my story, but changing them up, so it dosen't look like I'm stealing, and I've always thought of myself as a Claistenient. |
Yay! You made it.
I looked into the claistenience and what I found sounds a lot like being an empath. I've had some run ins with this sort of thing. I actually work really hard to block it because it can be terribly overwhelming taking on the emotions of others. Is this what you meant? If not correct me please! |
One of my friends is a very strong empath; she says there's no hell like puberty with that gift, and i can believe it. I got lucky and only began developing that trait in the last year or so, and even then it's stronger with spirits than with the living.
And welcome Toxic, glad you could join us here at the Pagan Inn. |
I'm usually more empathic with animals than humans. When my cat is having a bad day I get in a mood lol
Sadly when people are feeling the same en mass I can't block it. I have to just stay away. Hi Toxic. If you have any questions at all, or anything, feel free to ask. |
TAI!!!! I FINALLY CAUGHT YER BUTT ONLINE!
|
Hiya Batty!! ^_^ 'glomp' How've you been?
|
I've been okay.
Lots going on, how about youuu? |
-sees talk about empathy-
@Wicked, For myself, if there's a lot of people, it's harder for me to block it. The closer I am to someone emotionally, the harder it is to block it. It's useful sometimes, to be sure, but most of the time it's a hard thing to deal with. |
I envy all of you people who are sitting here talking about how as much as empathy sucks you just have to avoid large groups of people. I can't. And I really don't know why anyone would want this ability...
And I agree with your friend Raven. Puberty as an empath sucks. And to make sure I break my rant apart before it flys out of control, Hi Toxic! |
I'm unemployed and drifting but it's ok.
I have no shields whatsoever so I have to be careful with the empathy thing. |
For me "blocking" is all about creating a mental barrier.
It's essentially, shielding and I've gotten better with practice. I used to be extremely susceptible to psychic vampires. Not that I really need a qualifying statement here with you guys but I'm not referring to some kooky Twilight stuff. Most of the people who feed on energy are hardly aware they're doing it. I'm not saying it's IMPOSSIBLE that there's some people who actually hone this sort of thing - just that I haven't encountered them. Edi: Ninja'd >< Why don't you have any shields Taiania? |
Arg I hate vamps. Though I can deal with them pretty easily, though I don't do it unless they really deserve it.
I'm one of the rare people that was born without and cannot develop them. It sucks. |
Please don't hate me? I kind of am, in a way . . . but i take energy mostly from sunlight so . . . yh put me in strong sunlight in summer and i become the energiser bunny on sugar lol ^.^
And you're right, Wicked, many of us don't and then, suddenly, we do. We call those who don't know "beacons" because others who are aware just sort of gravitate to them. Those vamps then help the beacon become aware. A vamp awakening - aka becoming aware - will suddenly take in a great deal of energy all at once. I had the misfortune to do so on the college bus back home, on the motorway! Not fun. Didn't crash, luckily. But my sources were emotional and photo (light). Emotions still but more the light, and being aware means i can control it. I graze if there isn't enough light, which means six out of twelve months, and i suffer S.A.D. like crazy. You know, a little here a little there, and always from big crowds. We think that's where my empathic abilities have come from, that and "psychic puberty". Some people reckon it comes from not being properly grounded, but i am. It's more like . . . for some reason you just start having to take in energy from your surroundings. I'm not really sure, i just know i am and i do. Ok, odd post is gonna end now. I think i rambled . . . |
As long as you aren't intentionally sapping off other people then it's ok.
I've seen too many that are malicious with it. |
I've been super lucky that I've avoided malicious vamps.
|
I dealt with two a couple of months back. They hung out in a coffee shop me and a friend like. And every time they laughed the energy just drained from the whole room. I ended up nearly falling asleep in my cake.
And they'd follow people and change place just to get at more energy. |
Hmm. I don't know that I'd be able to avoid a confrontation if that happened.
It wouldn't solve anything but I tend to mouth off. |
Naa it's cool. We sniped them. Not literally but I've worked on an ability to shut down people's abilities. They suddenly looked really confused and high tailed it out of there.
|
That's awesome.
Heh. Much more effective than me going over there like a crazy person and shouting at them. |
XP that's what my friend wanted to do.
Hmmm... New convo starter. Ask any question you like, about anything, and I'll do my very best to answer :) |
Astral Projection? Broad subject I know but have you any expierences with it? I've only been successful once and it scared the hell out of me. I don't like the feeling of... disconnect. If that makes sense. Being out of control.
|
I don't blame you for doing that to them in the slightest Tai-chan. This is why the rest of us have such a bad reputation. You're supposed to graze, it's good manners, not turn everyone into fine examples of the living dead.
I'm not sure if i do astrally project or not, my nan used to say i did in my sleep but i'm not sure. Side topic; ever had a case of knowing something's gonna happen before it did? Not necessarily an urgent situation, but an event you knew about beforehand, or when it happened you felt like you had known? |
Not too many instances of precog. A few flashes here and there.
I've had a few dreams that came true.. which is worrisome because all last night (or today.. whatever) I had nightmares involving people I know. I didn't eat anything weird and MOST likely these are just... dreams. Weird and enigmatic dreams. But I'm a professional worrier. >< |
I used to be able to project when I was little. I used to go for walks in the middle of class. lol. Can't do it any more though. I'm better at journeying now.
I used to see the lotto numbers a few minutes before they were drawn. Not really useful XD Every so often I have dreams of the future but they're really mundane and boring :P Jenjen's better with visions. It's her specialised skill. Don't worry about the dreams. If it makes you better you could type them out. :) |
I'm off to bed just now. Trying not to let the dreams get to me.
Thanks though. <3 |
Sleep well ^_^
I have a new doll. She's a chibi little being hehe |
Oohhhhh! Moar dollies, TaiTai? =O YOU HAVE TO SHOW.
|
|
Lol, she's cute.
Wow . . . i've just realised that my avi looks kinda like an assassin that's been ambushed by party-goers. |
AW!!! She's absolutely adorablea!
|
Lmao It does indeed Gallows . She doesn't look impressed XD
Thanks all. My SD size doll should be here next month :D |
Quote:
Hahaha SURPRISE!! *awkward silence* Ummm. What's that uh.. big.. needle for? *lights go out* *kill them all* Anyway, the dollies creep me out. Always have. |
LMAO
Jenjen shares your opinion on dolls :P |
Lol.
Luke shares that opinion too. I've had to put one away at homebecause it freaks him out. . . . then again Alice freaks me out too so . . . i swear she bloody moves sometmes. ^.^' |
Put her in his sock draw :D
|
His response to that is an eye-roll. I'm not idiot enough to do it anyway; he'll put a big spider in my bed/on my face or some other such nasty arachnid-related trick.
|
How very mean. :P
It's killing me waiting for my doll. Le sigh. |
