Well, well. Heh.
Current mood: kinda amused, actually
I have just been consulted as a kind of paranormal specialist by one of my friends. She has a persistent stomach problem, and has been trying everything she can think of to make it go away--she's even started going to a counselor to help remove emotional stress from things unsaid in her life. Still, though, I got a call from her today, asking me if there was any way her stomach problems could be caused by bad energy, or other supernatural causes, and if that was common at all. I told her it was common enough that I wouldn't laugh at her, but not so common that I could say I'd encountered it myself. The only things I could think of in that direction is that either somebody harbors a great, dark grudge against her, and has for years and years, and the subsequent negative energy sent in her direction has been causing the stomach trouble, or that she's been generating the bad energy herself by not opening up about things that really bother her. Honestly, I think that she's got some kind of persistent stomach bug that normally would be gone by now, but has found a way to keep causing trouble from the stress of things that she doesn't want to talk about. I highly doubt that it's anything more "supernatural" than that. Still, she doesn't want to rule out any possibilities, which is commendable, in its own way. So yeah. She called me as a "paranormal/supernatural specialist", because she didn't know anyone else who would be versed enough in supernatural stuff to ask about it.
I suppose if she doesn't start feeling even more better after a few more weeks with the counselor (she's only gone to two sessions as of this moment), then I may start really looking into some kind of purification ritual around her, or perhaps a counter-curse (the trouble would be finding the black candles....), but I really don't think it's anything worse than stress. She's even said that when school is stressing her out a lot, she tends to get sick far more easily. So yeah. That's my take. Hooray for being a witch, right? ^_^
