Demons in our Mist

Sabrina over on One Witch's Wonderland did a poll on if Pagan's believe in demons. Her results are that most Pagans do believe in some form of Demon.

Several years ago I met a woman that was constantly saying she saw demons during rituals. She'd step in front of people to "protect" the person if she saw a demon ready to attack.

Unfortunately this story isn't unique. Lots of other people have met this type of person. They are obsessed with demons and trying to protect the ones they love.

I think those who say they constantly see demons are honestly misguided. Maybe they are afraid of spirits and believe all spirits are inherently evil. This is not accurate.

What are Demons

Please remember this is just my opinion, and I'm certainly no authority and am not trying to change anyone's views.

To me Demons are spirits who have lost their way. There is a natural cycle for a spirit. They live their life, die, and are reborn again. This cycle repeats until hopefully they achieve spiritual enlightenment. But what happens if the spirit is unable to achieve spiritual enlightenment?  For whatever reason, I believe there are some spirits who are not able to achieve any kind of spiritual enlightenment due to their own faults. So in their own misguided way they become Demons with their own agenda.

I don't believe there is a horde of demons led by an ultimate evil bent on the destruction of man kind. I don't believe there is a demon lurking around every street corner.

I do believe there are many spirits, and not all of them are ready to accept a spiritual existence.

What about you? Do you believe in Demons and what are your view on them? 

Soul Mates: My definition

When people think of soul mates they think of happily ever after marriages with lots of love. And this is one type of soul mate. The most sought after. 

However when we die, I believe we go to spirit (or heaven, summer lands, whatever you wish to call it we go to a spiritual place). Once there I believe we are surrounded by friends, family and other important people from our lives. I say lives because I do believe we have many of them. I also believe that we reincarnate with these spirits that are close to us. Those spirits are soul mates. They can be your best friend, your family, your coworkers, and your lovers. 

I absolutely believe my husband (Lance) is my soul mate. He completes me and I complete him. And as the above post says about love at first sight, when our eyes met, that was it. He was the only one for me. I think somewhere deep, our souls recognize the person we are meant to be with. Some may ignore it or maybe not everyone is connected enough to feel it. But its there.
