They told us we could not imagine how big they were but then they love to brag one must constantly sort from their statements the part which makes sense. Their size was enormous, she said, but then they said this too. The spirits spoke to us only telepathically as I have said, they were invisible but their presence could be felt they had distinct personalities, and our family of witches had over many generations given them various names. It was always at night that she saw their physical bodies, and they were never visible for more than a second, and usually only when the spirits were in a rage.Īnd those with such powers as we had were greatly revered amongst our people, and sought after for advice and miracles and glimpses into the future, and occasionally for putting the spirits of the dead to rest.What I am saying is that we were perceived as good and we had our place in the scheme of things. She said there were creatures in the sea which were equally exotic in their organization and insects who resembled the spirits, too. It was Mekare's contention that she could now and then see them, and that they had tiny cores of physical matter and great bodies of whirling energy which she compared to storms of lightning and wind. The good spirits did not evince such dissatisfaction. Very likely, this mixture of flesh and spirit in human beings makes all spirits curious it is the source of our attraction for them but it rankles the bad spirits the bad spirits would know sensuous pleasure, it seems yet they cannot. There was also abundant evidence that what we called bad spirits envied us that we were fleshly and also spiritual-that we had the pleasures and powers of the physical while possessing spiritual minds. It exhausts them but it also delights them to see human beings so impressed. Let me continue now to define the properties of a witch, as such things relate to me and my sister, and to what happened to us.Īnd as this relationship progresses, they are made for the love of the witch to concentrate on various tasks. Obviously they see our world they are part of it but how it looks to them I can't guess.īut I'll say more on this later on. They have no need to do anything they drift about unaware of time, for there is no physical reason to care about it, and they do whatever strikes the fancy. And the key to understanding their childish and whimsical behavior lies in this. Whatever their material makeup is, they have no apparent biological needs, these entities. For them, the flesh is filth and they would have men and women believe that erotic pleasures and malice are equally dangerous and evil. A very old earthbound ghost could forget that he had ever been alive and possibly the very malevolent spirits are ghosts and that is why they hunger so for the pleasures of the flesh and when they possess some poor human being they belch obscenities. However, one can never be too sure on this point. But they are without question spirits of those who have been human on earth whereas the spirits I have been speaking of are not. Those who possess humans are often 'evil' spirits those who haunt houses and are called poltergeists fall into this category, too. The evil spirits were those who were openly hostile to human beings and who liked to play malicious tricks such as the throwing of stones, the making of wind, and other such pesty things. We divided them as sorcerers have always done into the good and the evil but there is no evidence that they themselves have a sense of right and wrong.
