*SNORTS* LMFAO!!!! :RuNew:

Nice way to treat a newbie...

[Thalias_Smile]

I have never even heard of this...and believe me, I have heard some strange things in my time. Now I have heard of shamanic methods of entering the "Otherworlds"...to speak to different kinds of Elders...the "Underworld" for the Earth Elders, etc....and even vision quests w/the Crone or Lord Arawn, King of the Underworld in Celtic mythology...but those are the only things I can think of that would be like the "Grim Reaper" contact you are speaking of. Unless of course you are speaking of Gabriel the Angel of Death, as discussed in angelic lore...but any one of these contacts would be for the more advanced practitioners anyway...

LMFAO... Uh huh... but any self-respecting person knows the "grim-reaper'" is a piece! There might be something out that that has a _similar_ job, but certainly not that would go by the same name. :thumbsdow

I was actually thinking about editing my post and saying something nicer, but I just thought that the nonsensicality (if that's not a word, it is now) of the whole thing shouldn't even be dignified with a proper response.

This is the truth, or let Rhys die. _firedevil

I wouldn't say the Grim Reaper is COMPLETE bull, because as a teenager, i saw something very much LIKE the Grim Reaper outside my house at night--and I found out later, that this is usually how Earth Elders appear to Celtic shamans/druids during a vision quest...minus the scythe of course--the spirit i saw had no scythe...but everything else was VERY Grim Reaper-ish

Yeah, but you see the orig. post was on September 28th... so other people had lots of time to "help" (to be quaint) him. I saw the thread at nearly the bottom of the page, and with 0 replies so I opened it and I snorted like Miss Piggy has never snorted before!!!!!!! LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAH!!! Yeah, anyway..

I agree with Faerin, and was just about to comment. This person is extremely foolish, and apparently has no idea what *real* witchcraft/magick is about.

Where does that info come from? I'd be really interested to know, because I have had contact with a grim-reaper-minus-scythe figure in the past. :)

Rhys, whether his question was silly or not, I only hope you get treat with the manner in which you treat others. :cheers:

Um, Pan, old son... first you wanted to summon a djinn, & now the Grim Reaper... you're not, like, tryin' to loose the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, or instigate Ragnarok, or somethin', are ya? Inquiring minds wanna know... and I truly ask out of concern (not that you'll start Ragnarok, but that somethin' nasty might eat you... or worse)... I reckon I'm just tryin' to say that when you start gettin' close to the edge of the map & you start seeing signs saying "here there be monsters", well, the signs ain't lyin'... do what ya gotta do, but tread careful, lad...

Ditto here. I remember about 4 years ago, in our first apartment together hubby and I experienced something similar. Our bedroom was positioned so that if the door was open and you were in bed, you could see into the kitchen.
One night Carmen was punching me in the side to wake me up and made me look into the kitchen. I damn near crapped myself. This looming black thing was just standing there. It had to be 6-7 feet tall, and looked to have a cloak with big hood on. It was totally black, I could see no eyes..which actually freaked me out more than I think would have had I seen eyes. Every night for like a week it would be there.
I've been experiencing spirits and the like since I was around 8 years old. I've always been able to hear them, and talk to them. Rarely are they around without something to say or do. I tried to talk to this thing, I got nothing but chills. The negative energy coming from it was overwhelming. The mystery of it was just as scary as the negative energy.

Makes me wonder if this guy's one of those fundies trying to catch us out in some "devil worship" or somebody who has watched "The Craft" and "Aladdin" back to back WAAAAAAY too many times :muwaha: (Granted, "The Craft" had some wonderful merits--it certainly showed you the consequences of playing w/magick and not showing proper respect...but I have to laugh when ppl talk like it was a true depiction of Craft practitioners.)

Anyway, Pan...I don't know what your intentions are, but if you're looking for shortcuts in magick, you're NOT gonna find them...and certainly not from us...there is a reason they call it THE CRAFT. You actually have to work at it, and study, study, STUDY...

[MorningDove030202]

My guess is that summoning the grim reaper would involve a particular son by the Blue Oyster Cult........ :tongueout

Pan The grim reaper isn't a god or goddess......it's just a literary personification of death....

Ok, did the face kind of look like those plain thin masks that are porcelain-like? but no eyeballs...did the jaw look all slack, like it had rotted that way? Were you or anyone else there attempting to contact an Earth Elder that you are aware of? The "negative" energy could just have been an after-affect of your initial shock of seeing this figure...I know I freaked when i saw it outside my house in the middle of the night...fifty feet from the door. And when i looked out the peephole, i swear it turned its head and looked RIGHT at me...and there is NO way it could have seen me if it had just been a normal person. :blor:

I had no idea @ the time, as I had focused my studies on Ceremonial Magick, with focus on demonology, and other similar areas. To me, it was a demon...and i was terrified. Since then, I had gone to a few pagan forums...and asked about this figure. I got a few replies that all agree what I had seen was an Earth Elder. Apparantly, the individual i was hanging out w/at the time had "awakened" it...causing it to appear outside my home that night. Interesting how he was the first to notice it (he just "happened" to look out the peephole and see it)--and I and another friend who was there both verified its presence.

It had noticed me due to my spiritual talents...apparantly I have been noticed by various entities in various spiritual realms over the years. It detected my extreme fear and left almost immediately after it looked @ me. I haven't done any deep meditations, but I have a feeling that when I do go on a "journey", this will be among the first entities I will encounter. Now, I'm looking forward to it...lol

Excuse me? You're the one spreading negative karma. Maybe _you_ should be treated the way you treat others, eh? Besides, laughing at something as obsurd as the original post is hardly a crime, let alone a disrespectful anything. The post distained enough the reputation of the author.

Well I don't know much about the "Grim Reaper" but I believe if there is such an appointed spirit to take you beyond this life that it would not be a negative force. On the contrary I would think that it would be a positive entity. Now, in some cases there may be negative energy surrounding a death (because it had happened in a brutal way, etc) but I wouldn't think that a guide to the other realms would be so abhorrant (sp?).

I'm not saying I doubt that you saw something, but possibly there is another explaination of what it was?

The last two posts by this member are really good. I don't know whether they are intended to be serious or not, but the genie question was wonderful! Pan, if you're serious, this isn't Hogwarts mate and we don't have lamps in our houses filled with genies nor do we have an address for Big Grim.

I didn't say it was the grim reaper....I've never been much of a believer in the existence of that as a literal being.

Just wondering if anyone else had experienced something similar. I've seen plenty of other worldly beings....NONE like that. It scared me, like no other has, and I'm quite sure it was supposed to.

Looking forward to it?! :lol:

It sounds quite similar to my exprience. I was in bed and the "grim reaper figure" stood over me and touched my shoulder. It was dark, so I couldn't see under the hood; it was as though nothing was there to be honest. At the time I was having a lot of bizarre and gorey dreams and was just having my first contact with spirits. I think that at the time I thought it was macha, because that was who I was working with. I would have flocks (literally hundreds) of ravens following me around every day.

If it was a Celtic Elder (any more info on what they are, exactly?) then I dont know what it was doing there. I'd only just started casting circles (and I always cast earthwise/widdershin) and was getting a strong energy from them. Perhaps that attracted it.

I've always wondered why it touched my shoulder, as though it was choosing me for something. I have never figured out what though :lol:

It didn't feel 'evil' (which is not a concept I believe in, incidentally), but it felt very... heavy. Serious. Powerful. Old.

I dont think I would panic if I met it again. Maybe ask it some questions, or try to interact with its energies :whatgives

(And Rhys, grow up. That's what karma's there for.)

[Mau]

That is exactly what we saw. And when I think back on it, the first time hubby saw it wasn't in the kitchen..that's the first time I saw it. I have sleep paralysis problems (can be said to be incubi or succubi) and I've explained how it feels to Carmen. One night he woke me up all freaked out. He had a similar experience. But when he 'woke up' and couldn't move or talk, he saw this thing standing over him. He couldn't see any face, didn't think there was one.

My husband is Roman Catholic, never tried contacting any spirits or elders of any kind. I was in the process of abandoning Catholicism, but hadn't turned to any pagan paths yet. The only spirits I was ever in contact with were ones that came to me.

[Hærfest Leah]

Hmm, I've never believed that Grim is something anyone should ever contact for any reason. You should only see it the one time and thats it. I bet it has a very busy schedule anyways, no time for games. Even if I had a way to contact it I wouldn't say because I agree with the others in this thread that you don't seem to understand magick enough.

[xblue420x]

Okay I have to be honest here..Pan...buddie, what the hell are you thinking about?? I saw the original post..and I laughed at it just like rhys did, and probably tons of other people just because the thought of it is ridiculous. Then I thought about responding asking why you would want to do that, do you think you can get him to kill someone for you?? But figured there would be no point in trying to say anything. This is just as pointless as trying to get god to shine his light down on you from the clouds and magically give you wings and a little arrow so you can fly around shooting people in their asses to make them fall in love. It's not gonna happen pal.
I'm not trying to be rude but come on...genies and grim reapers? I believe that everyone who has posted on these threads is telling the truth. I know you aren't bullshitting about seeing this spirit or Celtic Elder?(I've never heard of it before now so I do want to look into it) and I do believe in the elementals but this is obviously not what Pan is talking about.
Pan, there is no grim reaper, there are no genies, witches don't have brooms that they fly around on, and if you dig up a body and try to bring it back to life it won't work the way it did for frankenstein. There is a reason why these kinds of stories and books are located in the fiction section. Like most of the people here have been telling you, don't play with magic if you don't know what your doing...I think you shouldn't even be thinking about these things until you can distinguish fantasy from reality.
Yeah..sorry if I offended anyone or anything..

Well, the spirits I was referring to are known as Earth Elders--and they exist in every shamanic tradition. Among native americans, you may hear stories of Grandmother Spider, antelope and snake people, and other similar entities. These are earth elders as they appeared to the Native American people. People of many different shamanic traditions discuss Underworld journeys (among the Ute and Hopi indians a kiva might be an entrance...in Celtic lore...whether you are discussing shamanic or hermetic traditions...you will hear references to both the labyrinth and the spiral...both entrances to the Underworld...among other places). I would suggest the book Walkers Between the Worlds by Caitlin and John Matthews as a possible guide. Also The Mist-Filled Path, by Frank MacEowen.

Pan o pal!! Please read through the thread and look over the wisidom contained therein, for the love of the Divine!!

[StephanieAine]

Years ago, I saw a "tall man" - which sounds like the same figure, or at least a *similar* figure, to the one which some of you are writing about.

(I'm nearly 40 now, but this was back when I was a teenager.)

This is a big concern to me - and reading about what everyone is saying here, it concerns me that maybe some people don't take it very seriously... no, wait, I think my real reaction is that when I hear it being talked about as if it's just 'an earth elder' (which sounds rather innocuous) - I think that's making an assumption that could be potentially dangerous. It would seem to me, at least, that since we don't **know** what this thing/man/figure is, the appropriate reaction would be to assume the figure **may** have malicious intent. Or be an entity/being that could be either harmful/non-harmful... but since 'harmful' is one of the possibilities, it would be better to be more wary than not.

In my experience: I saw him first when I was 13 or 14. He appeared standing in front of my closed bedroom door (a white door, without any clothing hooks or anything on it which may have played visual tricks on me) in my bedroom, which was illuminated by the light outside by the front door (it was like being in dim candlelight... because my bedroom was on the first floor, and my two bedroom windows faced the welcome mat at our front door. The light was on the wall directly across from the window, so I could actually sit in my room without lights on at all and even read a book in bed, simply using the light coming in through my blinds.)

On the night in question, my blinds were totally open and light was streaming in because a friend was staying over, and we were trying to talk quietly without waking my parents up. They thought we were asleep. Instead, we were flipping through magazines quietly and talking about a girl I was newly friends with, and the church she took me to (her Mormon/LDS church... which I was planning, at the time, to convert to). At some point in our conversation, I noticed motion to my left, toward my bedroom door - so I turned my head toward it automatically, thinking I may be seeing the shadow of someone walking to our front door outside the windows. Immediately I realized that it was something else.

The man was so dark, it was as if he was standing in a dark shadow - yet the closed door behind him was very well lighted, just as the rest of the room was (like bright candlelight). I couldn't see his face at all. He was dressed sort of formally - but in a sinister sort of way (there was clearly a sinister, "not right" feeling about him). He was wearing a hat - a fedora like what an old detective in a mystery movie would be wearing - and a big trenchcoat, worn unbuttoned (I assume, just by the way it hung - but he was too dark for me to make out details like buttons, or like a face or anything). He was ***taller than the bedroom door*** - which means he was well over six feet tall.

This happened very quickly - I saw him, and basically gasped. My friend was still talking, thinking I was listening to her... so, without turning my head away from the man, I whispered to my friend (trying not to even move my lips very much) - "Look!" But she didn't know what I was saying. She just said "What?" in a perplexed voice, which made me reach for her knee. She looked down at my hand on her knee, and I was pointing my finger toward the door in the direction I was still looking. Then I whispered "door!" - and thankfully, she had already gotten the message.

We just sat there for a few seconds. It's hard to explain, but although we could not see his eyes at all - just could barely make out the shape of his head (sort of angular - so I think he probably had high cheekbones, because the face was sort of similar an upside down triangle <rather than a round head or squarish shape> under his hat... so I assume high cheekbones)... we could still tell that he was *definitely* looking *at* us. Probably into our eyes, although we were really just trying to look at him in general, just trying to decide whether we were really seeing what we were seeing.

This only lasted a matter of seconds, maybe a minute or two at the most... and then we watched as he *verrrrrrry* slowly walked from the bedroom door where he stood (which was at the foot of my bed, so he was only that far away from us since we were sitting *on top* of the bed... just a few feet from him)... he walked toward my closet (also with a white door, the sliding kind), and then stepped into/through the closet door... and was gone. I jumped up (standing on the bed- afraid for my feet to even touch the ground), stood at the edge of my bed at the foot of the bed and leaned out toward the wall switch and flipped it on.

My first thought was that I had to know if she saw what I saw - and I knew that during crime scenes etc., they often say people witnessing crimes later describe very different scenes, or describe events and people's physical descriptions in different ways. I knew we were extremely panicked and I didn't want to screw up (I knew this was an extremely unusual situation I'd want to remember, or may need to remember) - so my first words to my friend were "Okay, tell me exactly what you just saw and give me the best details you can, because I don't want to tell you what I saw or else I might accidentally confuse you." Then I told her to start describing what happened beginning with the moment I whispered "Look" to her (so I'd know if she even remembered *why* we were suddenly looking at the door.)

She described the exact same thing - every single thing - except she thought she might have seen a mustache or beard (I'm guessing, but *perhaps* what I perceived as a slender chin/angular face, *she* perceived as being a pointed kind of beard - but who knows). Other than that perception, she had the same experience - which began with reading a fashion magazine, me suddenly saying 'look' and gesturing toward the door - and seeing a dark/shadowy man all in black, standing taller than my bedroom door, who felt very, very evil.

Sitting there talking with my bedroom lights on, we sat staring at my bedroom door - white - and the walls around the room - totally white, and only one picture <which was behind us, so *that* didn't apply to the situation>... and we tried everything we could think of to prove to ourselves that we must have had a "shared hallucination" or maybe we fell asleep and had the same dream and then woke up sitting up reading magazines (LOL! Nice try, right?). Eventually, after realizing we had no way to excuse the experience away, we finally mustered the bravery to open my closet door to see if he was in there (although we knew that he probably had totally vanished, since he appeared mysteriously and left mysteriously) - but of course, he wasn't there. And my closet was jam packed full of stuff, so no *human* person could have fit in there. (We knew there was no way it could have been a thief who had broken in - after all, thieves steal things... and they don't materialize out of thin air and vanish into closets. And they don't stand taller than a bedroom door and look like demons, either.)

Naturally, we woke my mother up and told her what happened because we were terrified, but of course, she treated it like it was just a silly girl thing. (She said the typical things: "Oooooh, how spooky!" <laugh> "You two should get to bed, don't be telling each other scary stories!" - although we hadn't been doing such things, and we were being completely level-headed and describing a very real experience.)

Well, long after my friend left from the sleepover, I thought about the experience - and I always remembered that one of my major thoughts when I saw the man was that he was evil and that he was appearing as a warning. And I had the distinct impression that it was connected to the church I had attended with the friend - although I still don't understand that aspect of it.

Well, fast forward to adulthood - and surprise surprise - MY daughter has seen "the tall man." She came to me terrified one night with a nearly identical experience. And a couple of years after that, **I** saw him again.

Some other experiences have happened which I believe are connected to him, although I don't feel comfortable discussing them in the thread... but the point is, there is something ***wrong*** with this "being." I really don't have the ability to say much more than that; it was an extremely unusual, extremely frightening thing. I've experienced many things in this life - many so-called "mystical" things, or mysterious things, and this was absolutely terrifying. Not like a harmless spiritual experience or mystical 'knowing' sort of 'sixth sense' experience - but a full-on, complete *event* of being in the presence of someone/something that was definitely up to no good.

I know it sounds bonkers - but it's the truth.

I know what you mean, Stephanie; although my experience doesn't compare to yours, he definately wasn't there for anything friendly. I was touched on the shoulder by this thing, and I think that is what gave me so many ghastly dreams. I even posted about it when it happened, here (http://www.mysticwicks.com/showthread.php?t=46329) (thank god for MW, it's better than my diary :lol: ). I haven't heard from it since, but during that period which lasted about 2 weeks, I honestly thought I was losing it. I'd be so interested to know what events you think he caused though, if you ever feel you can talk about it :hugz:

A thought did occur over the weekend though, that whatever it is - earth elder, complete nasty-pasty, whatever - maybe IT inspired the grim reaper tales. You never know.

You could have something there..especially if it really does have evil intentions. I was thinking about the same thing when the 'Earth Elder' was mentioned, but figured probably not cuz Thalia made it seem like a good spirit or something..I'm still confused about that haha

Anyways, whatever this guy is I hope he doesn't bring harm to any of you..and after reading your posts I really really hope that whatever attempts Pan makes to conjure up this fellow don't work.
Pan-if you play with fire you'll get burned. Take some time to learn from everyone here like rhys said..None of us want to find out that you got rabbies from a mouse bite when you were trying to get mouse blood or whatever, and definatly don't want to learn that you've actually contacted this guy to bring bad things upon other people or yourself.

Oh, macha, why do you have to be so smart?! lol :) uncharacteristicly, I agree with your thought.

[RedRaven]

I really think this guy is yanking our chain...
His last post... (http://www.mysticwicks.com/showthread.php?t=69056)

this sounds very familiar, there is another forum I go to where there was this exact request and I think the user was banned for spell begging

[Ron]

LOL ... well I wouldn't be suprised. She needs a good spanking :p - not a spell. ;)

How to contact the Grim Reaper

You will need:

(1) sharp knife

(2) wrists

(0) common sense

Slit wrists.

Remember kids, it's down the road, not across the street. Make it count!

LOL first time I read that I thought you were giving a numbered list, and I thought you were mad (crazy) then I realized you were giving numbered requirements when I saw the 0 besides common sense.

This is Mr. Death from the village...he's a *reaper*!
It was, of course, the salmon mousse.
The only known ritual for summoning the 'Grim Reaper', or, in his own words, the ANTHROPOMORPHIC PERSONIFICATION of Death is the Rite of AshkEnte. More traditional mages will do it with all sort of glitter dust, complicated octograms, flaming cauldrons, and assorted strangeness. New wizards find that it works with two bits of wood and 4 cc of mouse blood. In fact, all you need is the bits of wood and the white of a fresh egg.
It doesn't matter anyway, because he only stays in the octogram for the look of it. Besides, we'll all see Death eventually anyway, so why bother? Gods. You people overanalyze too much.

Oh Death (traditional)



Oh death
Oh death
Won't you spare me over til another year

Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands taking hold of me
Well I am death none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell

Whoa death someone would pray
Could you wait to call me til another day
The children pray the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach

I'll fix your feet til you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw til you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very hour come and go with me

In death I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To drop the flesh off of the frame
The earth and worms both have a claim

Oh death
Oh death
Won't you spare me over til another year

My mother came to my bed
Place a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm my feet are cold
Death is a movin upon my soul

Oh death how you're treatin me
You close my eyes so I can't see
Well you're hurtin my body you make me cold
You run my life right out of my soul

Oh death please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you'll remove your icy hands

Oh the young the rich or poor
All alike to me you know
No wealth no land no silver or gold
Nothin satisfies my but your soul

Oh death
Oh death
Won't you spare me over til another year
Won't you spare me over til another year
Won't you spare me over til another year

Um, Pan, old son... first you wanted to summon a djinn, & now the Grim Reaper... you're not, like, tryin' to loose the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, or instigate Ragnarok, or somethin', are ya? Inquiring minds wanna know... and I truly ask out of concern (not that you'll start Ragnarok, but that somethin' nasty might eat you... or worse)... I reckon I'm just tryin' to say that when you start gettin' close to the edge of the map & you start seeing signs saying "here there be monsters", well, the signs ain't lyin'... do what ya gotta do, but tread careful, lad...
yea when i first read the title i said "oh man this cant be a good thing" wether or not the grim reaper is supposedly real im sure there is something out there that the grim reaper was based off of. either way, it worries me that you would WANT to contact this being =/

[Ron]

Why would you want to? He'll contact you soon enough...
LOL ... that's just awsome! It's horribly " :alol: " but funny as heck... sorry I missed it.
