" The Occult in Childhood "
" Sitting in my closet, studying, reading, using the Ouija Board, learning the Tarot Cards and their meanings, were the long nights I would spend in my small 2 window bedroom. My Father actually turned my closet into something spectacular, a life-size Jeannie Bottle. I was just fascinated by everything within the field of the Occult.
I can recall one night sitting in my closet, using the Ouija. I can't remember who I was talking with but the voices inside the closet, scared the living hell out of me. Now, being about 9-10 years old, it was more than likely my own mind playing tricks on me. Of course it was, I wasn't ready to be using this intense tool yet. I didn't have enough knowledge or experience under my fingers to properly USE the tool. This is when I really started to focus more and more on my Ouija Board.
One morning, at about 4 AM I would wake up, before school and quickly grab my books on Witchcraft, Magick, Tarot and of course, my Ouija. I had sat down quickly, placed my hands on the Planchette and starting talking to whomever would come through. "
" Anne "
" My jaw dropped, my internet connection had dropped, a phone call had come in, go figure. Anne's chat went off, I was on the floor, curled up in a ball, crying my eyes out. How could something so good come into my life and then leave? What was this cancer she had? I had so many questions that still go unanswered to this day. "
