I was going to write some more today about psychic self defence and hexes when something occurred to me. I don't think I've ever known a time when I've had quite so many private requests for help and advice on this topic, and that set me wondering...
Why are we going through a period when so many people - most of whom don't even know each other, so it's not a case that they are picking up on the same ideas - feel they are under psychic attack?
Well, I think it's something in the air. Or to be more precise, it's a combination of the time of the year (just approaching the summer solstice) and the moonphase.
The summer solstice is a funny old time. Always is. When you live by the seasons you become sensitive to the sudden 'jolt' around each solstice and the equinoxes. Things change. The balance shifts. The year literally seems to change gear.
Not only that, but you often notice a period of rain just after the solstice, regardless of what the weather has been like before.
Last year (2008) we had a full moon at the solstice. This year the moon has reduced to the merest sliver... virtually the dark of the moon, in fact. And I suspect it is a combination of the solstice energy and the moonphase that may be behind these rather troubling feelings.
What we are picking up on is a collision of two great forces. The days are reaching their longest point and on the weekend all this is set to change. But at night there is no compensating moon - she has all but vanished.
So, if you are one of those people who feels they might be under attack, I would take heart from all of this. It could just be that you are reacting to some really strong energies that are buzzing around at the moment. Spend some time on psychic cleansing and grounding yourself and just bide your time... with a bit of luck many of the problems will go away by the end of next week!
