Mythral The Mystic – Digging deep into the occult

Thousands of Haitians have gathered to a voodoo festival in July, chanting special prayers to the voodoo spirits to find them new houses and ease their difficulties only six months after a huge earthquake ravaged the island.

Dressed in white, they clambered up the hill to bathe in a waterfall and join in a yearly ritual which has brought the faithful ones for 200 years to the town of Saut d’Eau in the central Haiti.

On this spot in 1847, the Catholic saint Our Lady of Mount Carmel is believed to have appeared. Fearing the apparition could generate a flood of religious enthusiasm, a Catholic priest cut down the tree where the saint was said to stand during this extraordinary event. But he was too late, and ever since sometimes as many as 20,000 people have made the annual pilgrimage here.

Voodoo remains an official state religion, and it is likely that more than half of Haiti’s population practices at least elements of it.

This year fewer people than usual made it to the gathering, which culminated on Friday. For many Haitians, devastated by earthquake, the trip from the capital Port-au-Prince was beyond their means.

But those who came had enthusiastic prayers for the voodoo spirit Erzulie (the spirit of the waterfalls and the voodoo spirit corresponding to the Virgin Mary) to find them a new home.

“Many people are coming for the first time because of the earthquake,” said Paul-Erick Mereilier, who lost his home and a brother during the quake.

The crowds sacrifice animals, usually chickens and goats, and smear their white clothes in the blood, chanting and dancing, often sending themselves into a trance.

Others bathe in the waters of the waterfall, hoping their wishes will be granted. Shaking in the cold water, Mereilier said he always believed in voodoo, but had never thought of coming here before. “I came to look for possibilities, I would like to ask the spirits for a chance,” he said.

Nearby, a young girl in a bright swimsuit shook in a trance, and as relatives kept her from hitting her head on the rocks, other bathers came to touch her and whisper requests in her ears, believing her to be possessed by the spirit Erzulie.

All around, hundreds of men and women of all ages bathed with soap and mint leaves, some naked, others fully clothed. Some chanted verses from the Bible, while young men sipped rum and children played in the water.

Under a tree by the waterfall, Andre Chevry, a thin 50 year-old dressed in the red and blue colors of voodoo priests, welcomed worshippers to light candles and practiced mystical rituals for a fee. “People come here to find satisfaction and solutions to their problems,” said Chevry, sipping clear liquor and warning listeners that it was God who had brought about the earthquake.

“Everyone finds what they are looking for,” he said, but when asked whether the ritual would suffice to solve Haiti’s problems, he answered, “I can’t guarantee anything.”

Haiti is struggling to cope with the aftermath of the earthquake. But for many, the pilgrimage is part of the healing process.

It’s been 2 months now that my blog is under a severe spam attack. Everyday, I receive thousands of fake comments that are only promoting viagra or porn websites. As you can imagine, it’s very annoying! Nonetheless, I won’t quit! I have invested in a “spam blocker” program which will allow me to update the blog as often as I used to do it before this problem occured. Hopefully…

Stay tunned, I have much more fantastic things to share with you!

There are a lot of differences between a psychic tarot card and a regular Tarot card reading which may not be understood by common people. How efficient is a person in using the tarot card in predicting one’s future or using tarot card for divination? All this makes an immense difference. For a novice tarot card reader, the exact meaning of the tarot card makes more difference in comparison to the intuition regarding them.

To become an expert tarot card reader one must learn to enhance their skills of intuition. The tarot card reader must have potential to foresee the future of another person using a tarot card as a medium. A psychic tarot card reader must possess an insight to make an accurate prediction and this can only be possible when a tarot card reader develops his intuitive skills. If his insight is beneficial to others only then can he become a successful reader.

Tarot cards are considered as the symbols that represent the various experiences of life. Once you apply the spiritual principles represented by the tarot cards in order to receive the accurate information, the psychic tarot reading will be that in which a reader will make use of his or her gifted spiritual powers along with tarot cards to reveal the hidden meaning.

Which is more accurate – Automated Tarot Card Reading Online or Psychic Tarot Reading?

Tarot card reading can often be quite mysterious. In the case of an automated tarot card reading, it is undoubtedly true that no computer can even have the ability to convey divine or spiritual information correctly. Online Automated tarot reading, however, has certain conveniences. There is no need to book an appointment, and your results will be delivered to you instantly. Besides this, the cards are also chosen randomly which give you a nice mix of interpretations and spreads.

Though it is fun to make use of these readings, no psychic ability or intuition is involved in this. However, they can be useful in deriving the meaning of various Tarot cards. This can sometimes give you some encouragement regarding the problems that you might be facing. Thus, they prove to be quite entertaining as well as fascinating. Tapping your own intuition moved by these tarot cards can also be a good thing. However, these readings stand nowhere in comparison to the skills and talent of the authentic psychic readers who can amaze you with the actual psychic tarot card reading.

I have read a few comments of my readers about this website, so I thought it could be interesting to put it to the test and get your opinion about this new spellcaster of the month. Keep in mind that I always check carefully the comments posted in the section “spellcaster of the month”. That’s why it may take 1 or 2 days before your comment gets approved.

Samuel Souza Nascimento is a voodoo and black magic spellcaster and his website can be seen at the address www.universallovespells.com. I personally believe that black magic should be used with care and only in precise situations, but this spellcaster wrote to me in an email that he’s controlling any possible negative effect thanks to the combination of black magic and voodoo. It permits to get black magic love spells cast, which is pretty interesting actually. I strongly believe that black magic is one of the most powerful magic out there, if not the best. Voodoo is also very powerful. Hence, it must be nothing but a good mix.

That makes an interesting site and I hope this post will meet the same success than the past “spellcaster of the month” posts.

And you… What do you think of this spellcaster?

This story made me stop my work to post a new message on the blog, which I haven’t done for a few days due to an intense work as far as my book is concerned.

The website Trademe has recently put an auction to buy two ghosts, captured in small bottles filled with holy water. Each bottle would contain the spirit of a person passed away years ago: an old man for the first bottle, and a girl for the second one.

The old man is thought to be Les Graham, a previous owner of the house who lived there in the 1920′s.

On the other hand, the spirit of the little girl, who is presented as disruptive and very powerful, apparently turned up after the couple experimented with a ouija board.

The seller, Melvin_S, based in Christchurch, New Zealand, declares that the two spirits were captured during the exorcism of his house. Before the exorcism, the seller said that he and his partner noticed a weird manifestations happening in his home, like noises, strange vibes or objects moving alone. He then contacted a spiritualist church who led the exorcism.

Since having their troublesome housemates removed last July, the couple had experienced no further disruptions, he said.

The auction is currently reaching the amount of NZ$1840. Do you want to make a bid? Follow the link. It will end on 8th March 2010 Monday.

What do you think about this story? Will you buy the two spirits?

Normally, I would not do a post like this one. But these days, I received two emails from two of my blog followers. They are active posters and I thank them for their loyalty to my site. I know you are more everyday to read this blog and I hope that you will all read my book soon. For who ever wrote one, they know what a long task it is. Anyway, that’s not to talk about my book that I’m posting today.

These two persons complained to me that I was moderating their emails. If two emailed me about it, I assume your are more to think the same thing. That’s why I want to tell you something. The truth is that I receive something like 500 new comments everyday. Most of them are spams !

That’s why some of your messages don’t get through. But don’t worry, I’m checking IPs and emails to publish ONLY genuine comments. Here is a screenshot that I’ve just made. It shows my blog administration desk to accept comments. Note that there is only 1 message from an authentic person. Others are spams !

I promise I will be a more active blogger as soon as my book is finished. Until then, I hope you understand that I have difficulties to face such extra work.

Spontaneous human combustion is a case in which the human body burns without an external source of ignition. I found this to be quite an interesting case. There’s been quite a lot speculation, case studies, arguments and theories based on this. Investigators have provided as much as information as possible, but thorough investigation completely has been lacking in the years of investigation of this case. Most of the investigators have tried best to provide their physical evidence or photographical evidence.

I’ve studied and found that there have been many hypothesized causes. People believe that SHC has been caused the following three causes namely, super natural, natural and unobserved phenomena.

I’ve read and further found that, SHC can be caused by a large degree of heat produced in the body. The heat tends to hurt and damage the limbs and body parts surrounding the specific area.

A person who is a victim of SHC usually is an alcoholic, who has drunk large quantities of liquor before undergoing SHC. In many theories it has also been stated that mainly depressed or lonely people usually fall into a trance before they undergo SHC. Usually, these types of people can tend to pull off a chemical reaction in their body, which triggers the heat off a chain reaction that releases hydrogen and oxygen spontaneously, making the body react to it. It also works on the blood of the person, altering the gas levels and creating huge quantities of heat, leading to SHC.

Sometimes due to their constant drinking habits, the toxic levels rise in their body and can tend to trigger the chemical reaction. This can lead to ignition of the body or a body part and the limbs surrounding it. There have been nearly 300 cases of SHC.

Other studies, I have read, suggest that sometimes (very rare cases) even clothing is a cause for SHC. Through the flow of static electricity, SHC can be triggered. A person walking upon a carpet can tend to work up the static electricity in his body.

It is also noted that since every human body has an electrical field in his body, sometimes there can be an excess discharge of this field which can lead to an unexplained phenomena of SHC.

Other theories state that a cigarette could cause SHC. A victim could be holding the cigarette while undergoing a heart attack. During this, he may drop his cigarette which would land on a portion of the clothing and tear open the subcutaneous layer of fat in the body, leading to SHC.

I found some interesting and famous real life incidents. Amongst them, the most interesting case is that of 61 year old Jeannie Saffin. She had a mind of a 6 year old and like many small children, she was terribly frightened of flames, she would not even hold a box of matches. One day, while she was sitting along with her 82 year old father, she just burst into flames. Her father caught her and tried dousing out the flames and disfigured his own hands in the process. Later investigations state that he was smoking and an ember could have caught her clothing. But it was not explained as to why her face had burst into flames.

SHC is indeed a mystery to all scientists and investigators. No one has ever found a proper cause or cure for this case.

‘Nostradamus’ – a world renowned personality made a number of predictions for the future of the world during his lifetime, many of which actually came true. He made some predictions about the occurrence of World War III as well. Do we know all about it?

Born in France in the district of Saint Remy on 14th of December 1503, Nostradamus was always a talented and studios child in school. He learnt various languages and subsequently became expert in Greek, Hebrew, and Latin among others. He was also a good physician as well as a Great Astrologer.

Ever since the time when he was a small child, he had steadfast faith in Jesus Christ and possessed an intuitive power within himself. He began giving out his prophecies at the age of 44 years. Many of his prophecies were related to different countries, particularly their politicians. A number of his predictions were related to important events which were to take place in the world as well as about wars. All his predictions were written in the form of 4 lines poem which were given the name ‘Century’ which were published in 9 volumes.

Nostradamus’ predictions covered a period of more than 1500 years following his death. In many of his predictions he has even mentioned the exact date and year in which the event would be taking place. Due to this, he has been fondly given the name ‘kind of prophets’. Few of his most significant predictions include the destruction due to atom bombs in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, England Internal War, French revolution, Fall of Napolean and Hitler, Kennedy brother’s murder, Mahatma Gandhi’s murder, Germany’s partition and reunion, Vietnam War and many more. He had also predicted that a large asteroid will crash in the ocean in this millennium leading to disastrous results.

About the World War III, he has said that the greatest destruction will occurs due to the actions of human beings. The war will mainly involve the use of chemical weapons and its consequent suffering will go on for almost 27 years. He has also predicted the total devastation of the city of New York. So along with his predictions, he also tells the people of the world to develop more mercy and tolerance towards each other in order to avoid these devastating events. In his view, people will understand that the causes of all suffering lie within their own lives; they will realize their faults and the world will get back its golden age once again.

The Loch Ness monster, water creature, is believed to exist in a place known as Loch Ness, situated in Scottish Highlands. Its description, I found is remarkably linked to those of the other water monsters present in the lake. Although, elsewhere it has been described using various other terms. It struck attention and popularity when it was first sighted in the year 1933. It also generated a large amount of interest when its first sonar recording was found. However, scientists and researchers are of the opinion that the entire concept of the Loch Ness monster is a hoax and mix of fantasy and wishful thinking. In spite of all this, it has still been listed as an example of the crypto zoology. Apparently, this mythological monster also goes by the name Nessie.

Furthermore, as I went through more papers I found that this monster was first caught sight by a man hailing from London named George Spicer. He and his wife spotted this most extraordinary creature as he was monitoring around the areas of the Loch. They described it as a creature, closely resembling a sea serpent, a huge dragon or a monster fish. Later on, more sightings were found. People started writing anonymous letters to the Courier. Many people started describing the monster as a magnificent pre-historic creature. Eventually, the monster came to be known as the ‘Loch Ness monster’.

Finally, the police had issued an official order for the public forbidding them to attack the monster. Various historians later started claiming that the first sighting of the monster went back to as far as the 6th century.

In this particular piece of information, I found that the Loch Ness was originally first caught sight in the vicinity surrounding the area, Picts. Where there was a burial going about by the side of the river Ness, the monster was caught sight. However, this seems to be ruled out due to the fact that water beasts were a popular theme for medieval stories.

But what still remains evident, is Mr. Spicer’s description and sighting of the creature. Later, it was caught sighted by a maid servant, Margaret Munroe, who claims to have seen it 200 yards away from the sea shore. She said it looked like it had elephant like skin, two short flippers, a long neck, and small head. She had observed the creature for what she claims to be, 20 minutes. It later disappeared into the sea water.

Although, there were many expeditions conducted to find what it exactly was. There was a LNPIB bureau or the Loch Ness Phenomena Investigation Bureau which was formed around 1962. They conducted annual surveys, searches and many expeditions. They finally closed it down by 1970. It was an unsuccessful search.

Many animals have been misidentified and mistaken for the Loch Ness monster. Animals such as the elephant, eel, seal and many birds were misidentified for the Loch Ness monster.

Even trees, optical wakes, seiches and large wakes were misidentified for the Loch Ness monster.
Till today, nobody has ever been able to find anything related to the so called magnificent creature. The Loch Ness monster still remains one of the biggest and most mysterious creatures ever, in the history of time.

Love readings by tarot

Getting personalized love reading has become a trend recently. Love readings are available in various forms such as tarot cards, numerology, astrology as well as psychic love readings. The cards that you pick from the entire pack as well as their grouping with other cards forms the basis of that tarot love reading. So it is quite obvious that the reader of these tarot cards has to be skilled enough to understand what these cards stand for, for the reading to be effective.

Love reading by means of astrology is carried out by reading the position of the various planets in the universe. Since the planets are constantly moving and changing their position, the astrological readings are always dissimilar. So it is important to identify how effective the astrological reading is for you.

Psychic love reading refers to the collection of a large number of regulations. Some of these involve drumming into energy whereas others claim to be in contact with the organisms from outer space. Most of the psychic readings have to do with more than one regulation. What you need to do is to make sure that the person who is carrying out your psychic reading has a good track record and reviews from his/her past readings.

Love interpretations based on numerology are centered on numbers. Different numbers determine your fortune. Some of the numbers which are important for numerological readings include numbers found through your name and date of birth.
