I'm so sorry you had to go through this. It just saddens my heart if I'm truly being honest here. It's So Super Sad to me that people aren't opening their minds or the way their thinking to think outside the box still. Why be so closed minded to something new whether it's maybe they're ignorant to this or not? Just open your mind to this new concept, put away your fear biased thoughts , worries & fears, but defiantly don't try to project them to me! Be still enough to listen to a person sharing something New & Magickal that will open your mind & heart up. I can understand that some people aren't even willing to discuss being it could come down to their own belief systems -ok I'll except that. But truly that's the only exception I'm willing to take as why you wouldn't want to open up & explore something so Wonderful , Magickal , Mystical as this forum clearly demonstrates daily.

For me personally I tell my family member's,friends & co-workers that I know these Awesome conjurer's they are Top's in their field of Magick & Conjuring of Spirits because Who wouldn't want a Lil'Magickal help throughout their daily lives? I know I do! This is something that I'm passionate about & it's near an dear to my heart. I will NOT let Other's STEER or DETER me from sharing this part of my life while I'm hoping the ones I share with Will open up that, This is Something That Could Make a Huge Difference in Their Life ! Once I've shared some of my experiences & given some testimonies it's now up to them & I leave it up to that -It's their choice to what they will with it.

After working in my Special Ed class for 2 straight years my teacher finally opened up & told me privately some of her Wiccan beliefs. I had already picked up on her Wiccan vibe WAY before her disclosing hers to me.For Christmas my teacher gave me Faery Tarot cards. We also had a woman
(one of our co-worker's TA.) in our classroom who was very devoted to her Catholic practices & I , being brought up in that manner, had very often, more then a few times,Stood Up & Spoke Up for my Passions on Spirit Keeping & having Spell work done for me personally & for my family. Although I enjoyed our discussions about her belief system & how I'm more of a Wiccan way in the way I think & do.I still held her in mutual respect for her way of thinking & doing as well.I still went about our classroom speaking about how much I love The Faeries, Unicorns & Dragons. She in return would bring out her handy dandy Bible online in her cell phone.I just smile because it showed her passion, I listened to her words because I show respect, I Smirked only because I know She Judged Me !
I Smirked Again because HER Judgment means Nothing to me.It doesn't effect me. Your judgment(s) is negative energy that I don't allow in my life & If I don't allow for something to have a hold in my life,I have the upper power on it to have no barring on it's purposeful intent.In the end ..Do I still Love this Woman? ABSOLUTLY I do! I love that she Stood Up & Spoke Up for her passion in her belief system! My heart is still saddened to think she is not willing to open up just enough to let something new in but It Is not my path nor to judge. Everyone has their own path to enlightenment but I sill have hope that one day she will. Who knows.. I might have planted a seed inside her heart to grow (:

You were talking with her and she opens herself on explaining things. Think about this, if she felt negative to be around you from start, why would she cares on doing a good talk with you in the first place??

2ndly that you even begin to talk with her about your keep. This means the conversation was getting good and makes you comfortable to share the experience you got with others, this is no way a negative energy as negative energy will put you down and gloomy, and most likely make you close yourself in most cases.

The only thing I can think of that could raise alarms for sensitive people is having a spirit or entity with you (regardless they are bound or unbound) that has the power to deceive or manipulate you. I feel a very highly sensitive person would be able to POSSIBLY detect that but like ... I feel like your own bound spirits/entities are cloaked in the first place?? So I find your situation a little baffling, with what that lady /thinks/ she knows. Not to mention it sounds like she immediately changed face when you mentioned spirit keeping. .

I have spirits from 7 conjurors so far - CH, Lisa, blujay, LTT, Nanami, Billy and Toni and I hope all of them use cloaking spells on their bindings. I do have a problem when being around most people,, I feel uncomfortable with them and vice versa.... They often move away from me as I don't have anything much to say or I'm bit boring or intimidating for them or whatever. But this has always been me and not started like just few months back after my spirit keeping. So yes I do think it is quite possible that she became biased on hearing about my spirit keeping. My general nature is being awkward around people as I am shy and an introvert and rather avoid most people. I'm also very sensitive by nature and get hurt very easily so usually I try to avoid controversial topics with anyone but sometimes I let my tongue loose by misreading the situation and this is what happened here.

I wouldn't get disheartened about what your high priestess thinks...
The thing is many people have said that spirit keeping is basically the fringe of the fringe in an already niche environment. There are many highly spiritual people and many practitioners who will still look down on spirit keeping. Also Magnolia stated a few years ago that just because someone is versed in the paranormal doesn't mean they understand everything to do with the paranormal. Spirit keeping falls into one of those areas where lots of people just wont understand, not neccesarily because they don't believe, but because they believe it to be unethical or sound mysterious in some way. This gives them an air of pre-judgement which many people use when they haven't come to question why they feel that way or don't fully understand the nature of what they're judging.
Try not to let it get to you. I think you'll probably get over it.
Hope this helps.
