visitors to my sister and I

[sashamasha]

While our Dad was in the hospital before he died over the holidays, my sister and I got together and talked about all the paranormal stuff that we both experience.  We later called on everyone we could think of to help him.  Her thing has always been seeing fully-realised images of people she knows and also ones she doesn't.  I feel energy and intent and see lights and balls.  We both hear things though we hear them differently.  I also gave her some reiki, which I discuss in the healing forum because it was a pretty strange thing.

Anyway, I showed her how to sage a room and gave her the caveat that sometimes lighting candles and saging a room brings more attention rather than kicks people out, but since when I sage I am asking for protective and helpful spirits and light I figure that is exactly what happens.  Sure enough, that's what happened here.  We had a CROWD of people.  I think some may have been ghosts but overwhelmingly they were spirits.  I didn't see any of them but saw lights and most definitely felt them pressing in to join the fun.  We did not feel threatened, but I started to get overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of it, and since my sister had never experienced this scale of it, I asked them silently to please back off, which they did.  It all happened very quickly.

But a couple of them remained.  One of them stood over by a an old suitcase and stack of bibles (I have no idea why there was a stack of bibles in the room), we could hear him shifting back and forth on his feet.    Then my sister saw him walk past the mirror that was also on that side of the room.  Twice.  Then she saw him start to materialise in front of the mirror, and she thought "No!!" and it stopped.  She said that she got the impression he leaned over to someone next to him and said "she's not ready."  Then she experienced him as a blob of purple light-- which happens to be what I have been seeing lately hanging around myself-- and later a pinprick light, which I see all the time throughout the day.  She described him as tall dark and handsome, with a red and black cape.  We looked up toreadors but that didn't fit for her.  she decided he was from the Renaissance era, but we couldn't decide what nationality-- certainly not ours because we are very fair and northern.  Later she thought maybe he was a pilgrim.  She had a twin who did not develop in the womb, but this visitor appeared 10 years too old.  The Spaniard (as we finally called him) kept by her and continues to check up on her, and she sends him on erran ds to watch others but he really hates that.  She thinks he may have been a lover at some time.  We also have 2 older brothers that were aborted because of severe development issues.  None of these 3 brothers were named.

We all had imaginary playmates as children (my sister is 7 years younger than I am) but none of us remember them.  My mother doesn't like to talk about it, nor does she believe in ghosts.  Most of our ghosty abilities come from Dad's side.

The other significant visit during this time:  I was sleeping in a small bedroom upstairs.  Our ancient wise old cat (Blueberry, haha) had made the colossal trek upstairs to sleep in my bed (she hasn't slept in anyone's bed in years) and snuggle (likewise) under my arm (!) on the wall side.  Sometime during the night I woke up and felt 3 or 4 visitors in the room with me.  One was a very very old but not at all frail man dressed like a wizard, who was very eager to talk to me.  of the other people at least one was probably a woman but oddly I didn't get the same definite male/female vibe I usually do, and one or both were telling him now was not a good time.  this disappointed him but he was ok with it.  i think they all arrived together with the intent to communicate with me. there may have been more people behind them.    blueberry got up and crossed over me to lie on the other side, inbetween me and the visitors, and I fell back asleep.  

I'm dying to know who all these visitors are.  I wish there was a way to look it all up,  but of course there isn't.  If anyone has any ideas who they might be, please let me know!  thanks

Maybe some of them spirit guardian boyos... I had no idea sage attracted them... everyone into this mystical stuff seems to really like sage. It HAS been tested for the lack of hallucinogenic properties right? Just making sure is all...

I like the sound of the caped figure, capes rock, I own a cape just like it but it's crappy and plastic and makes noise, it gave me away the last time I LARPed. That and my glowing white pants which my cape was too small to hide. My costume sucked bad... same with my sword... I wanted a sickle or something.

it's not the sage... it's just to do with using that part of your brain.
