Never Dabble With The Dark Side

My awakening began to unfold around the age of 21, marked by a vivid dream in which a white dolphin embodied the spirit of my boyfriend’s recently deceased brother, who had been a very good friend of mine.

The dream was not only a confirmation of my abilities as a psychic medium to receive messages from the other side. The white dolphin (speaking in the familiar, comforting voice of my friend) was also conveying insights from the spirit realm for my guidance and protection on my path as an awakening young psychic.

My friend taking the form of a dolphin in the dream made sense as he was a marine biologist at the time of his death and was doing important research on dolphins at the time.

But spirit is never that basic! The true meaning and symbolism of this unusual dream only became clear to me later in my psychic development journey when I began to investigate the symbolism in visitation dreams.

Although I was not aware of it at the time, a white dolphin traditionally symbolizes spiritual purity and a connection to higher realms. In fact, dolphins are considered spiritual guides and messengers in many cultures, offering protection and guidance to those in need.

A white dolphin, a rare and unique variation, is a particularly powerful or sacred guide. White dolphins symbolize a connection to the divine and higher spiritual realms. Dolphins are also associated with intelligence and wisdom. Their advanced communication skills and playful behavior have led many cultures to view them as highly evolved beings.

I had been exploring metaphysical and esoteric concepts since my teenage years, discovering practices that resonated with me and uncovering those that did not. But I was too young to always know what to embrace and what to avoid. Among the guidance I received in this profound dream was a stern warning not to “dabble with the dark side.” For example, I was advised to stay away from tools such as the Ouija board, which I now know is a portal to darker realms and lower entities that can trigger a devasting domino effect in one’s life.

I was also instructed never to experiment with casting spells or anything related to practices that attempt to manipulate or harm others and interfere with their free will. To this day I caution clients, friend and colleagues to never invite such destructive energies into their life. The lure of quick results may be tempting, but the lasting effects often leave lives forever changed, and not for the better.

There are much more effective and uplifting ways to create good in your life. Prayer, positive affirmations, and creative visualization are much more powerful practices for manifesting positive results in one’s life. I have seen the effects of the Law of Attraction unfold in the lives of many people, including my own. Sadly, I have also seen the lives of several people I cared about tragically destroyed by their involvement in dark, questionable practices.

Black magic is not a myth. It is a totally unscientific and emotional form of magic, but it does get results – of an extremely temporary nature ~ Aleister Crowley

If a psychic reader or energy healer ever tells you that someone has “cast a spell” or “done a hex” to curse you, be very cautious and extremely skeptical. Get your spiritual advice elsewhere, for such things are not of the Light, nor are they from a Higher Power, which is what you want to be dealing with at all times.

However, do not confuse energy work with the dangers of shadow magic and dark arts. For example, don’t think of Reiki, energy healing, spirit communication, or simply meditating with a crystal as “evil,” for these practices are of the Light, and we are naturally connected to these things. In fact, throughout history there have been many respected energy or faith healers in various religious and spiritual traditions.

One of the most renowned was Jesus Christ, who was a powerful healer and miracle worker. The Bible cites numerous instances of Jesus performing energy healings, restoring sight to the blind, healing the sick, and even raising the dead. Then there was Saint Hildegard, a medieval Christian mystic and abbess, who was known for her holistic approach to healing. She used herbal remedies, music, and prayer to promote wellness, and her writings include insights into the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.

There was also Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira, known as Baba Sali, who was a revered Jewish sage, mystic and faith healer. To this day, his tomb in Netivot, Israel, is a pilgrimage site for those seeking blessings and healing. Another example is Imam Al-Jazuli, an Islamic scholar and mystic who wrote the famous book Dala’il al-Khayrat, which contains prayers and invocations for blessings and healing and is highly regarded in Islamic spirituality.

A final example is Sathya Sai Baba, a revered Indian guru, who was considered an avatar of God and was known for his teachings on love, service, and healing. He performed miraculous healings through the power of divine grace.

None can send death by spells and sorcery without walking on the brink of death’s own abyss, aye, and dripping his own blood into it. The forces black magic evokes are like two-edged poisoned swords ~ Fritz Leiber

One of the most effective and failsafe spiritual practices I have discovered over the years is the potent power of prayer — an ancient practice that is unparalleled in its manifestation potential and protective power. For example, every time I buy a new Tarot deck, I bless it by praying over it, just as I do with my food before I eat. I ask God and my guides to help me use it for the betterment of people’s lives. I also ask that I always be guided in my reading to the good and the benevolent, to God, the Light, and the Truth.

I encourage you to be mindful to always stay on the path of light and love. It is the true power that will be eternal and will define your life after this life, for energy never dies.

In the shadow moments of your life, you may be tempted by a fleeting impulse — a quick little spell, a casual session with the Ouija board — seemingly the solution to mend the fractures in your life. But beware, for it is the insidious whisper of darkness, subtly luring you into its claws. Resist the temptation. Avoid the shadows that beckon. Turn your gaze instead to the illuminating embrace of the Loving Light. For there, in the radiance of Truth, lies the power that will set you free and heal your life.
