As well as spiritual and religious practises, there are many who practise dark arts and devil worshiping. As with any practice, trying to contact any entity or spirit, there could be dangers if you are inexperienced.
A paranormal investigator’s main role is to try and communicate with and document evidence of spirits and other entities. If an investigator is experienced, they will perform some form of protection prayer (whether it be religious or spiritual) before and after an investigation. This ensures they are safe during the investigation, and nothing attaches to them when they leave.
As with darker arts, a lot absorb themselves in the rituals and practices, hoping to communicate with and do deals with potentially very dangerous entities. These kinds of beings have dark intentions and once you have made a deal, you will have a very hard time getting out of that contract, if at all.
Unfortunately, some (not all) who are enticed into this environment, are young people who are confused about life, troubled or dysfunctional. The sad fact about that is, that they sometimes find themselves and their purpose in life and regret their participation in such activities. The problem is, will this pact they made stay with them?
Some of the people we have spoken to regarding devil worshiping, they have said it is more about the freedom to do whatever they want without regret, such as gluttony, lust and debauchery etc. but is that just a way of enticing people into the culture? As with any religion or cult, there are different levels to their beliefs, from simple prayer, to sacrificing. People should be aware, that practicing anything of the occult nature, there could be consequences.
The same goes for those who use Spirit/Ouija boards, people mess around with them because they are curious about the unknown, but don’t really know about the dangers. There have been many reported cases where people dabbling with such objects, have had long lasting negative results, creating doorways for many different types of entities to enter whenever they like. Once opened, they can potentially be very difficult to close or not at all.
If you are thinking about any communication with spirits, even in the likes of paranormal investigation, please do some research and make sure you are protected and safe.
