The Voice in My Head...Please Help!

[TarotMama]

Hello, All.

A few months ago, I began hearing a voice in my head. Several times a day, it calls me a b**ch. I recently purchased a CH Capture Stone. I activated it yesterday. The voice is still there, but the word is no longer as forceful...it sounds like it’s coming from a distance. I have asked one of my CH spirit friends to escort any malicious or otherwise negative unbounds from our home on an as needed basis.

Who is this that keeps calling me such a horrible name? Is it an unbound? Or, could it be a conscious or unconscious psychic attack? Only two people have ever called me that...my mother and my ex-husband. The voice is neutral in tone, neither feminine or masculine.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Blessings,

Tarot Mama

It might be spiritual in nature, but it might also be something like "intrusive thoughts" in mundane medical terms. Since the tone is neutral, I'd lean towards the latter. Bring this up with your doctors for sure so that all your bases are covered.

Beyond that, you need to learn and master protection methods. Grounding, centering, shielding and banishing are helpful no matter whether the cause is physical or spiritual. I like Daemon Brand's book on Magickal Protection, but there are certainly others out there. Not every google search in magical matters is safe or productive, but you can google grounding and centering and find many solid methods.

Building your protection tools and skills is a years-long process. For example, you probably shouldn't move past the sword banishing ritual in the Brand book until you've done it twice a day for thirty days. Because you should master it before you try something new. Once you get the hang of the basics, keep going until you have versatile and dynamic tools and skills that are up to just about anything.

Whatever you do, don't feed the negativity if at all possible.

I agree that it sounds most like intrusive thoughts. Don't worry, that doesn't make you crazy; everyone has intrusive thoughts of some kind, but only some people have them to the point where they can hear them or it begins to disrupt their life. It is something to bring up with a doctor, as Alys said. I also agree with the rest of her evaluation. It's best to cover all aspects, mundane and magical, to help you the most.

Thank you for the excellent advice. I had made myself a note to mention it to my therapist at my next appointment. I will take a look at the book that you recommended, too.

Have a wonderful day!

Protection is a must when you spirit keep ; it has to be done before each meditation or contact . It's good if you do that

There are threads in this forum about protection too. One was quite recent.

Hello,
In case the disturbance gets persistent, please do contact CH help desk, maybe they will suggest other things to help you, apart from self protection (just in case self protection measures are not enough to curb the problem)

I experience the same thing and I do agree that it's just an intrusive thought because I believe that sometimes our thoughts can aimlessly wander anywhere. Mine always says the word "worthless". Good thing my spirits understood it and didn't take it personally because they told me it's not coming from my heart anyway and it's just a thought. It can be confusing because sometimes I thought I really said that because it's also in a neutral tone, good thing the spirits in my keep are very understanding and compassionate.
