PS - since the
author of this series of books has become a notorious transphobe, I do
not endorse her and her output in any way, shape or form, and wish to
distance myself from her and her output. I will edit these over time,
and will likely remove all references.
OK, with this post I am letting myself get dragged kicking and screaming into the late 20th Century ... but more on that later.
First off, one of the debates that one often comes across in psychic/occult discussions is:
how does one handle negative energy that is directed to one during psychic attack upon oneself?The debate usually is between (a) send it back to the person, or (b) reflect it up into space (or some variation thereof). I'm not happy with either option.
Directing energy back at an attacker is fraught with problems:
- it is the exact sort of behaviour that one is receiving anyway - remember that likes and dislikes extend across many lifetimes, and thus someone who is attacking you may be doing so because of something you did a long time ago that was not 'nice' ... of course it could also be due to a flaw in their character, but if that is the case, will you really be 'teaching them a lesson'? Think of my comments in http://gnwmythr.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/this-week-and-reading.html;
- it may actually strengthen either the person doing the attack (they're in a negative frame of mind, remember, and you're sending them more of that energy back) or anyone controlling them;
- it may enrage them further - think of being who've done things to aggravate you, and then how they have reacted to the sight of you becoming annoyed.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not arguing for passivity, or not defending oneself, or not doing so strongly, but do so with Light, i.e. - with positive energy - use explosions of Light if you wish, but do everything with light and love.
I teach my students to ask their BPF [1] Guides that everything that they do to others be done immediately to them, so that they may know no harm is being done. Hence, if you're kidding yourself about the explosions of Light actually being Light, you very quickly realise - oops, I'm just covering up my emotions here, and not very well at that :)
Anyway, going back to what to do with the negative energy directed at one, there are other options.
The Order of Scathach has an excellent set of exercises based on practising receiving energy, and letting it go through you harmlessly. It's a brilliant exercise (as is so much of what they do), but, from my experience, doing it in real life with strong* negative energy it can be incredibly difficult to make sure you have cleared everything out of your aura ... particularly if you have to do this several times ... or often.
What I found myself doing the last time I had to deal with a load of negative energy was channelling the energy down the outside of my aura, a bit like a lightning rod channels a lightning strike, into Mother Earth for grounding and recycling - and it worked, very well, if I may say so. I felt a light rippling on the surface of my aura, but nothing got through to me, and nothing was magnified in a loop, and nothing got bounce up into planes and nonphysical entities passing thought 'above' me, or bounce sideways into people and other lifeforms or places, etc.
So ... I think I have found my preferred way of handling direct psychic attack that is relatively* strong. For less strong attack, I'll just dissolve the energy with Light -basically, by flaming.
And now, <magical book/film series>. And the late 20th Century ... :)
Reactions to this series vary in the Wiccan and magickal worlds, but something I have pointed out previously is that having so many people thinking along a particular way in effect creates a sort of low-level thought form, and I have tapped in to that. Well, I've been thinking further on that, an d have tried a few protective spells - basically, used them as a repeated chant to build up power for protective work.
When I used these to strengthen my routine protection work, the result felt much stronger, so I had a go at putting these into a PowerPoint presentation, and - with more than a little help from various friends - had audio files added and then we turned it into a Windows media file.
Because of the connection with evil that the author has now created, all the positive potential of these has been destroyed, and I have therefore removed what I had written previously.

I'm also exploring use of h2g2, although that doesn't appear to be as extensive (h2g2 is intended - rather engagingly - to be the Earth edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy").

- One size does NOT fit all.
- May the world of commerce and business be recognised to be a servant, not a master, of the lives of people.
- Ban the dream interpretation industry!
- A home is for living in, not feeling, becoming or being rich or a “better” class than others.
- Like fire to the physical, emotions to the soul make a good servant, and a bad master.
- "Following the crowd" is not "going with the flow".
- Armageddon is alive and well and happening right now: it is a battle between the indolence of "I only ..." and/or "I just ..." and/or "Everyone knows ... " and/or "they can ..." and what Bruce Schneier [2] calls "security theatre" on one side, and perspicacity and the understanding that the means shape the end on the other. Indolence vs. perspicacity, and expediency vs. honour.
- The means shape the end.
- Sometimes you just can't argue with a biped that is armed with a sharp stick, a thick head and not too much in the way of grunts.
- As words can kill, the right to freedom of speech comes with a DUTY to be as well-informed, objective and balanced as you can be.
- My favourite action movie of all time is "Gandhi". However, I loathe the stereotypical action movie - and, for similar reasons, I loathe many dramas, which are often emotionally violent, more so in some cases than many war films.
Females, get over 'cute'. Get competent. Get trained. Get capable. Get over 'cute'. And those of you who are called Patty and Debby and Suzy, get over that. Because we use those names to infantalise females – we keep females in their 'little girl' state by the names we use for them. Get over it. If you want to be taken seriously, get serious.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, and the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change." SENATOR ROBERT F. KENNEDY (US Attorney General 1966 Speech)
