I think hardly anybody runs statistical analyses with as much euophoria as I do. I love good evidence why things are exactly as they are, and it's beautiful if you can prove it.
And it's also beautiful if you can't, and it still exists, lol. But it's a bit of a lost argument on people with a "moe closed" mindset. If they would say stuff like:
"Can you prove that God or Unicorns exist?" then, no, I cannot prove it. You can prove it to yourself if you put some work in, but I can certainly not prove it to you.

I think we haven't reached the age, yet, where it becomes clear to the majority of people that some stuff has to be proved by others and some things you can only prove to yourself.
If I wand to bring out a new medical drug, then I better prove its effectiveness before selling it to the public. It's my responsibility to prove the effectiveness and safety.

But if we are talking about other dimensions, and >3D beings etc. sorry, it's on you to unlock your mind to see. I cannot make you see something, you don't want to see.
It also doesn't mean that everything that cannot be usually seen or measured does exist. But that is the point, you have to see for yourself what you are able to discern as real. In the end everybody lives in their own reality anyways. We just sometimes agree that some stuff is experienced by (almost) everyone. If that is real, who knows. We could collectively be making it up or be mistaken.


Thank for the book suggestion: "The Noetic Universe" by Dean Radin

You're welcome, on the book.

One thing I find interesting is that in-the-public-eye scientists - the ones who try to improve people's understanding of science - is they sometimes explain that nothing can be proven absolutely. Widely accepted scientific theories are just scientists' best theory for now, often their best approximation of what's true...until it's disproved or a better theory comes along, or the theory is adjusted to fit new understanding. That's what they explain.

That's pretty much the same as we're all doing throughout our lives. Making sense of things. I think it's also called the theory of knowledge.

Paranormally sceptic scientists are expressing their belief system. But they admit they can neither disprove - nor can anyone 100% prove - the existence of psi. It simply doesn't feature prominently in their belief system.

In the end, what we all fall back on is our experience and what it means to each of us individually. Meaning (significance) is important.

I'm not going to be judgemental. Yet I do think it's worth bearing in mind what others have already pointed out.

My only contribution is to say that, even when we're magicians/spirit keepers etc and know that people can mislead themselves with paranormal paranoia, we tend to find it easy to dismiss a suggestion that that could be going on with us because...'I already know all about that....so I can't be falling into that trap'.

But we can and do. Even as fairly experienced magicians or spirit keepers. I've experienced it myself.

Another thing you may find interesting is Robert Anton Wilson's explanation of how everyone can get 'signs' from the Universe that seem to validate their beliefs, despite them having beliefs that disagree with each other.

Eg A Christian may see a sign that to them validates their belief in Christ as the Son of God, whereas a Taoist may feel they've had sign that the Tao is the True Way.

This is, he thought, because the Universe is sensitive to what we think and tends to behave according to what we believe about it.

So there's a level at which the Universe sends signs that are meaningful to us as an individual but are not objective proof that we're right. (ie Signs can be misleading.)

But there's a totally different level at which we can connect to what is True. It helps to be able to detach ourselves, be mentally and psychically neutral, step back and see things objectively, impartially, instead of subjectively.

The ability to discern and discriminate in this way is a skill that's worth taking time to develop.

It's all too easy to fall for paranormal paranoia. It's so well known.

For me the important thing is what would I do if the thing I'm worried about is real. Ironically one of the top tips seems to be: don't panic, ease off, it's more often the case that we're not being targeted paranormally.

Yes.

Creepy Hollows' have incredible expertise and that includes historical human spirits.

I imagine you've read the CH Shop page on Tengu?

https://shop.creepyhollows.com/custom-c ... pirit.html

"Tengus are the "heavenly dogs" who are both malevolent and benevolent. They can appear as dogs or birds and exist in multiple realms and dimensions. They behave much like earthen dogs as they can obey and disobey. Tengus are very loyal once they have a Keeper and provide their Keeper guidance and a connection to the mystical realm."

Interestingly, the word 'companion' isn't used but I think CH conjurations tend to be based on an agreement to be in mutual alignment with the keeper as friends.

Pancake wrote: Fri Sep 18, 2026 9:00 pm Thank you for the detailed response. I have read and learned that Kitsune draw their power and are all imbued with a potent spiritual energy called the Fox Flame, and that if they like you and form a bond with you, they will imbue you with the Fox Flame as well, making you a candidate to essentially become a kitsune. What can you tell me about this?

Why not ask them yourself about this? It could just be a piece of folklore that relates to scary human ideas that witches can become kitsune or vice versa.

There are so many variations on belief systems about death and the afterlife. I don't think that as a rule the type of spirit companion we keep means it's likely we'll become one of them when we pass. And I'm not aware that CH believes Kitsune can do this. It might be worth asking them.

To me what determines future lives must be more complex than that...and the future isn't fully set or fixed. I think there may be an overarching pattern to our lives that include things like destiny and fate.

It's easier to think about past lives. I like the CH idea that our spirits are very old and have had many past lives & that memory lives on in our spirit (the sum total of all our energy). Memorable past lives - or past lives that stand out as relevant in this one - may influence what we're drawn to in this life.

As I've said here before, after I started getting Gold Djinn some of them told me they'd known me in a previous life or lives when I was a Gold Djinn myself. That might explain the good feeling I have with them - but they are kind, in any case.

Hypothetically, perhaps somewhere in your past lives there could be a Kitsune connection that draws you to them.

CH does all kinds of past and future lives readings that you might find interesting.

They can find ways to let you know. You could try inviting him to find a way to let you know. Of course you can always try that good old favourite: your own gut feeling.

And yes it's true modern science seems to be somewhat closed minded toward the paranormal. I once had a class from a professor in cognitive psychology. And the class was about "the belief in psi" basically it was a class to talk about the paranormal and how it could be integrated with science. That's what I thought at first. It turned out the whole class was only to deny there could be anything paranormal. And the sad thing is the prof was really biased and in denial. I know that for sure because of a story he told us. He said years ago he had a student who claimed she would know things slightly before they happen, if she concentrates on it. So he wanted to test her and they went to a casino. Her task was to correctly identify the next number on the roulette table. He said she was always correct, and until this day he is somewhat mad he didn't bet any money on her intuitions at least once. He literally said "I should just have thrown in 500, before we left." So he experienced it itself, that there are things you cannot yet explain with science as it is today. But then despite that, he continued to hold his whole 4 months' class on the premise that there is absolutely nothing supernatural and it's all a fluke, and that people who claim they can do something are all frauds and none of them has ever proved anything.

But the thing is even if people do prove something paranormal, the scientific community doesn't acknowledge it because it "shouldn't" be so.

I think science sometimes forgets, that everything we call science today, and that can be measured today, was not measurable at some point in the past. That didn't make it non-existent, only not yet measurable or provable.

Very interesting!

If this kind of thing interests you, try reading The Noetic Universe by Dean Radin. Only that book. It's hard to stress how uniquely ground breaking it was in explaining how the stats from psi research have reached the threshold required for scientific validation of an effect that exists. Endorsed by a professor of statistics. Absolutely not fringe science.

It hasn't been scientifically disproved. It has just been disliked and criticised by scientists as individual human beings.

Scientists cling to their individual belief system (like most people) and scientists are well known for disagreeing vehemently with each other, based on their preferred theory, against those who subscribe to a different scientific theory. It's only human nature that they can't incorporate something like psi into their world view and then say something so strange (to them) should have stronger proof than all the other science that they do believe in. Disappointing but human nature.

The professor you mention was probably acting the same way.

A few years ago, towards the end of Covid, I attended a memorial service for a friend who'd passed away during Covid , when people couldn't really attend his funeral. It was great. Some of his former friends had a band and played a set. Quite a few of us hadn't seen each other for many years. It was good to catch up. There was food and drink and good company. One guy I used to know well said to me over a pint of beer: remember how you used to read tarot cards for some of us and the rest of us used to laugh about it? Well, I'm not laughing now.

Of course I asked him what he meant.

He said he believed in it all now. It turned out he'd become a parapsychologist (!) and was just finishing his PhD. So we had a good chat about all of this. He'd been in contact with the Institute that Dean Radin runs as part of his research and was aware of the significance of that book. He had even interviewed Uri Geller. In relation to the effect of diet on psi/spiritual experiences.

Anyway...we know what we experience and that more is possible than is imagined in the limited world view of orthodox scientists. Just don't doubt that the paranormal is genuine and is part of the way the natural world works...yes...scientific method has detected it. We're not crazy. Or stupid.

Pancake wrote: Tue Sep 01, 2026 4:52 pm I noticed in the Creepy Hollows store that the listings for Kitsune consider them to be dark arts beings. Several other shops and informational spiritual sites also list them under this category, but not all of them. A few also list celestial kitsunes, divine messenger kitsunes, and other similar more benevolent listings.

Do all, or most kitsune tend to be dark arts beings, with a few exceptions? Or are the ones offered by CH exclusively dark arts, with most others existing widely across the spectrum?

Hi

I find this a complex question to answer.

It varies. Every practitioner has their own opinion on Arts. Instead of giving you my own opinion on Kitsune, I'd like to explain why that is.

It's a metaphysical judgement on the part of the respective conjurer, which gives us an insight into their way of seeing things.

There's no spirit keeping industry-wide standard on Arts classifications. It doesn't make things simple but that's the way things are.

Sometimes it's best to simply ask the conjurer / seller themselves about the beings they conjure and what they believe.

If you look at listings (and do make sure you go with reliable, competent, experienced conjurers), you'll get a sense of it for yourself.

If sellers list a being as DA, they may distinguish between 'grey' and darker. They may describe as light natured a being that CH sees as DA. But that may translate to them being very light, grey in CH terms.

And with some sellers, eg Lisa of Mystic Morning Treasures, some individual beings are described as Dark, some Grey and others as Light Natured - all the same type of being.

With CH sometimes there'll be a DA type of the being and a WA type of that sort of being.

I hope that's useful.
