Today, I wanted to explore entities known as poltergeists. These are often linked with ghosts or mistakenly thought to be identical. Nonetheless, significant distinctions exist between these two supernatural beings.
Ghosts are actually spirits that were once living among us in this realm, (whether they be human or animal) and have passed away and transitioned into the spirit world. Hence, ghosts were always formerly living humans or animals who maintain a connection to our earth. They possess the memories of being alive in their previous physical bodies and frequently manifest themselves to us in that form.
Poltergeists – Complex Entities
Poltergeists are more complex entities. Quite often, they were never alive as we are and never had physical bodies on this earth. They are supernatural entities that often act in very different ways from ghosts. Ghosts tend to be present when they have unfinished business with the living or something to communicate to us. Poltergeists are malevolent spirits that thrive on chaos and negative energy. They aim to cause disruption and upset because that type of energy feeds them, making them more powerful. Unlike ghosts, which can be tied to places or people, poltergeists tend to be fixed in one place, typically a home or a specific location within a home.
The word “poltergeist” comes from the German words “poltern,” which means to make noise, and “Geist,” which means spirit. These entities are often associated with haunted houses or locations where unexplained phenomena occur.
Signs of Activity
The clear signs that you have poltergeist activity within your home are things being moved or disappearing. Usually items that hold sentimental value or cause distress when they are moved). Loud sounds that provoke a jump scare reaction, and generally chaotic and disturbing events. Remember, poltergeists do not have a reason for causing these events other than to create upset and mayhem within your home. Some historical accounts of poltergeists even tell of people being poked and pinched by them as they go about their daily business!
Ignore Bad Behaviour
The most important part here is, of course, what to do if you feel you have a poltergeist in your home. Firstly, do not jump to this conclusion lightly. Poltergeists are extremely rare. If you do encounter one’s activity within your home, the most important thing is to remember that it is your reaction that they are craving. Therefore, the best reaction to give is none at all. Ignoring the ‘bad behaviour’ of these entities denies them the satisfaction they are after. In many cases, simply acting as if they do not exist (and that means not overly thinking about them either) results in the entity giving up and becoming dormant again.
If, however, the actions that the poltergeist is taking are simply too disturbing and annoying within your home, you can ward them off and cleanse them from your space. The usual cleansing techniques of burning sage (and *dragon’s blood if you feel particularly negative energies), sprinkling rock or Dead Sea salt in affected areas, and using bells, chimes, and sound waves to purify the space are all effective ways to reduce the entity’s influence.
* Dragon’s Blood is a vibrant red substance; it is extracted from the fruit of specific palm trees and the stem of the dragon tree along with similar plants. This natural resin has been historically used for various purposes due to its unique colour and properties.
Poltergeists Cleansing
When dealing with poltergeists, it’s crucial to approach the situation delicately. Instead of directly confronting them by asking them to leave, focus on creating a positive and harmonious environment in your home. Herbs like thyme, cinnamon, and rosemary are known for their cleansing and protective properties that can help ward off negative energies. By incorporating these herbs into your living space through sachets, incense, or essential oils, you can promote a sense of peace and tranquillity.
While thyme is effective in purifying spaces, its strong energy may attract other supernatural entities as well. Therefore, it’s essential to use it mindfully and with caution. Consider combining thyme with other protective herbs like sage or lavender to balance its effects and create a more balanced energy flow in your home. Remember that intention plays a significant role in any spiritual practice; set clear intentions when using these herbs to enhance their effectiveness in promoting positivity and repelling unwanted energies.
Negative Energy
It is essential to understand that poltergeists thrive on the fear and negative energy they provoke in individuals. By reacting with positivity and maintaining a harmonious environment, you disrupt their source of sustenance. Consistent cleansing rituals, such as smudging or using protective crystals, can help create a barrier against their disruptive influence. Over time, this approach can lead the poltergeist to realise that their actions are ineffective, prompting them to either retreat or seek an alternative target for their energy. Remember, your own emotional state and response play a significant role in either empowering or diminishing the presence of these entities in your home.
I extend my best wishes to you as always! My hope is that this information offers you and everyone involved a deeper understanding of the supernatural realm and how it influences our daily experiences.
