Title: Death Days
...She's by far the most famous witch in the Bible.
So, the king is in a bind.
He has prohibited all forms of divination on pain of death, but now he needs someone to divine for him. The kingdom next door is about to invade, his long-time counselor is dead, and he needs advice.
“Find me a witch (ba'alat 'ov),” he tells his servants.
“There's one at Endor ('Eyn Dor, 'Spring [of] Dor*'),” they tell him.
So he disguises himself and goes to see her.
“Raise someone for me,” he tells her.
“What, are you trying to trap me?” she replies, cannily. “You know the king has forbidden such things.”
It comes up time and again, and I'm not sure I understand it – Ghost Hunting. I have a love/hate relationship with the practices seeking out the spirits of the afterlife. While I think it can be quite helpful, healing and even practical to have some skills in this area, I see people get caught up to a level that distracts them from their own spiritual evolution.
What I”m specifically talking about are Witches, Magicians, Shamanic Practitioners, Pagans, you name it, going ghost hunting for fun. People without a magickal background, who are looking for “proof” that consciousness can exist after death, I understand their fascination, but I don't understand those in the magickal community who do it.
