And there you have it.

What are your parameters? My experience with the "occult and black magic" community ranges from fluffy sparking unicorn Wiccabes to the LHP crowd to the odd practitioner of Candomble or Santeria. (I had a roommate once who was devoted to Kali-ma, that was fun.) I need to know upfront who you consider pure enough to fit your demands before I answer. The witch/Pagan/what have you community is pretty diverse here.

On your dime? Sure, if you can prove that you aren't really posting from the forensic psych ward.

Except that "you" wasn't the pronoun you used, you never made me consider the possibility of it being true (based on my explanation of how to prove it to a skeptic), and you have not caused any doubt in my skepticism. So what was the point of this semantic bait-and-switch?

try an analogy from the fairy-tale world:

you have to kiss many frogs before you meet a prince.

too many for little girls, imho.

In the year 1973 I had an encounter with two demons. I can assure you, demons do exist. And there is a lot more going on out there then mental illness.
