I found a pagan store in our local flea market. Hooray.
There has been some knockings and strange smells in my house. When my neighbor is over for a few mornings then I have a few days of increased activity. We lived in the house for a few years and this activity only started lately. I do not blame my neighbor, but I do think that maybe spirits are attracted to her. She and her mom have always had odd things happening to them.
Anyway, I found a bundle of sage in the local flea market and brought it home. When I showed my kids they asked me not to get rid of the spirit. um....okay. LOL
So is there a ritual to get rid of a bad spirit but keep a good one? I was thinking of doing a house cleansing ritual but my children(ages 11-17) like our spirit.
My 17 year old son, Chris, said that at night sometimes it felt like someone was tightening the blankets all around his body. So, I told him to ask the spirit to please stop. He did and says that now he just smells someone smoking a cigarettes. We have all experienced the smell.
Strangely, one day my neighbor asked me if I was experiencing any odd odors. I told her that we had all smelled cigarettes smoking. She was having the same experience.
What is strange is that our houses are all pretty new and that the land that we are on used to be a farmer's field so there is no real history with this area.
