The danger in possession is if you let alien beings in to use you — and there are plenty out there that will. They’ll split your personality. They’ll touch certain parts of your personality that you don’t even know you have. And then, you won’t be able to consciously remember when one takes over or when one doesn’t, even though it’s all you. That’s the danger of possession. Another danger is that they can come in with cruel and terrible ideas and infect you with them. Because when someone knocks at your door, and I’m not just speaking about spirits, don’t let them in unless you know who they are. You turn on the light first and that light is right above your head. — Victor Anderson, The Heart of the Initiate: Feri Lessons

Confessions of a Hedge Witch 
Nice to see you blogging again. And great quotation. Thanks.
By the way I find a lot of resonance in your words (used to follow closely over at your Patheos blog). Would love to dialogue about animism etc sometime if you were up for it. You could checkout my tumblr to see if you find a similar resonance. No worries if not. Best wishes, Sam.
Hi, Sam. I would love to chat animism with you!
Yay. Can you get my email address off your comments dashboard (don’t want to post it publicly)? If not just drop me a note via the Ask page on my tumblr.
