Suspicions

Within Persephone's Pearl, a spiritual center and retail shop on Main at Bank Street is where the items for sale are locally made with intention and authenticity. You can also find candles and sage to help banish a ghost.

Last night in our apartment below Fort Hill was strange. I believe the place is haunted. A poltergeist or a ghost played havoc with our minds.

When a friend was about to leave for home, he could only find one sock. We searched everywhere for the other and for two hours couldn't find it. Then he told me about the shadow he had seen. I had seen it earlier but figured it was just a figment of my imagination from the cannabis and rum effect and dismissed it.

The missing sock eventually appeared. For some bizarre reason, it was hidden in my friend's pants after we checked his pants and everything else a dozen times. We decided that the ghost was just trying to cause mischief and laughed it off. 

This experience made me reconsider my skepticism about the supernatural. The inexplicable events and the eerie shadow suggested that there might be more to the world than I had previously acknowledged. While I still lean towards rational explanations, I'm now open to the possibility that some things might be beyond our understanding

Honoring Papa Candelo.

Papa Candelo is a fire spirit. Like fire, he can be severe or lively, punishing or warm. He demands respect and adherence to tradition but is also humble. Though he has seven paths, not many are seen during actual possession. He is the patron of those born under fire signs and a protector of women and children. As a deity tied to fire, he is called upon to burn away unwanted things. This makes him ideal to call upon for unhexing or uncrossing, cleansing, protection, and fighting disease. As an old man, he is a source of very good advice for fixing your life, but he can become very angry if he is not given the respect he deserves.
