Breaking Chains of Spiritual Warfare: Love, Sovereignty & the Sword of Truth

Sovereign Path Series Epilogue

The Trap After Freedom

You cut the cords. You broke the tethers. For a moment you felt free. But then — the heaviness returned. You find yourself stuck, unable to move forward in the ways in which you desire, and unable to manifest the abundance and joy you know is meant for you. It is as if invisible chains still bind you, keeping your soul from stretching into its fullness. These are the anxious after effects once you leave - the desperate spells to keep you further tethered, to rob you of any light of hope and further growth, and to force you to return back to their facade of comfort.

This is the hidden snare after freedom. Not failure, but initiation. The deeper mirror has arrived. And, you are not meant to turn away.

The Three Currents of Liberation

1. Unconditional Love

Unconditional love is not soft or sentimental. It is a primordial current — the essence of Source, the spark from which you were created. It existed before fear, before heartbreak, before the walls you built to survive and protect yourself.

But it is not enough to know this love exists — you must let it fill you. To align with it means to open yourself to its flow and to embody it within, beginning first, with love for yourself. Not the fragile self-approval built on doing or pleasing, but the unshakable knowing: “I am worthy. I am whole. I am loved without condition.”

Because you are.

And, when you embody this love - when you align yourself with Source and you stand firmly in alignment with the unconditional love that is your birthright - distortion cannot anchor in you. Spells dissolve. Manipulations slide away. Attacks collapse. Because no shadow can take root in a vessel overflowing with unconditional love.

Practice: Place your hand on your heart. Whisper: “I remember. I return. I am love.” Sit in meditation and breath work, until this truth moves from thought to presence, until it begins to overflow within you.

2. Sovereignty

Sovereignty is not a crown. It is your anchor. The deep ground of your being that no one else can own. Not fear. Not manipulation. Not even the voices of your past.

It means no one else owns your will. Not a partner, not a group, not a psychic manipulator. True sovereignty isn’t rebellion for rebellion’s sake; is self-possession of your soul.

When you stand anchored in sovereignty, attempts to bend or bind your path collapse before they reach you. Their spells, their projectors, their manipulations shatter against the fortress of your will aligned in truth with Spirit. And sovereignty is contagious. Your freedom reminds others that they, too, can be free.

Practice: Stand barefoot on the earth. Speak your name back into your body: “I am sovereign. My will is my own. I do not consent to any presence, energy, or bind that is not aligned with my highest good. Not now, not ever.” Repeat until your voice steadies like fire. And cut cords as often as needed until this tether, and any new attempts at a tether, no longer return.

3. Divine Truth (The Sword of Light)

Divine Truth is not vague or soft. It is the cutting clarity that severs illusion at its root. It is the Sword of Light — and no shadow can withstand it. It slices through glamour, illusion, manipulation. But truth is also uncomfortable - it reveals where you colluded in your own bondage, where you gave your power away. And it asks you to witness this so that this lesson you are mastering will become embodied and you will never, ever again need to repeat it.

Aligning with truth also means you no longer stay silent in the face of distortion. You speak. You expose. You cut cleanly with clarity. Both for yourself, and for others. This is not cruelty or revenge — it is liberation. Because when the truth is spoken, illusions collapse, and those around you see the choice before them with unmistakable clarity. And you step further into your own alignment, sovereignty, and self love when you do so.

And here is the promise: when you stand in truth, divine protection rises with you. Every. Single. Time.

Practice:

    1.    Speak aloud once a day: “I align with Truth. I cut distortion at its root.”

    2.    Ask yourself what illusion you see around you is ready to dissolve today . Name it clearly. Burn or tear the page. Let the act remind you: truth dissolves distortion.

3. Journal the lies you’ve told yourself (“I’m unworthy"“, “I can’t ever seem to reach my financial goals”, “I am not ready for relationship”, “I can’t escape”, “They will reject me if I expose this” etc) and then burn this page and replace it instead with soul-truth (“I am unconditionally loved”, “I am the author of my own story”, “abundance flows freely to me when I am in alignment with my life”, “I am free”, “My worth does not in any way depend on the approval of others”, etc).

The Turning Point

After freedom comes the real test. The choice to hold steady when shadow circles again.

If you have broken free, this is the hour to rise higher, not retreat. Anchor deeper into love, sovereignty, and truth. That is the ground in which no attack can touch.

And for those still caught in distortion, those still enabling harm, still working in covert ways to actively spell cast and bind - know this: you are seen, your actions are witnessed and spiritual laws are in play. You are not beyond accountability if you choose to continue.

Unprovoked attacks against another may appear to slip through unnoticed. The validation that you feel by affirming someone else’s agenda may soothe your ego for a moment. But it will always prove hollow in the end.

The same threshold stands before you. You are not beyond reclamation. Turning back may not erase the past, but it restores your essence and spares you from the spiral that only grows harsher the longer you refuse the mirror.

Do not risk stagnating your own growth, dimming your gifts, and facing karmic lessons that need not come -unless you force them to.

The path is open. But the doorway narrows the longer you wait.

The Final Blessing & Call to Action

When you root into love — not as an idea, but as a living force that flows and fills you from within — you become unshakable. When you embody sovereignty as your anchor, no hand can bend your will. When you wield truth as a sword of light, distortion crumbles, clarity clears the way forward, and you will find protection that surpasses your imagination.

This is not just about breaking chains. It is about becoming untouchable to the forces that once bound you. It is about standing in your essence — whole, radiant, unbound, and fearless.

So breathe. Place your hand on your heart. Say it now as a vow:

    •    I anchor in unconditional love — for myself first, and through me for the world.

    •    I stand sovereign. My will is my own.

    •    I wield the Sword of Truth and I do not look away. I know that I am protected and safe, always.

And then — act. Write one truth. Speak one boundary. Release one chain.

Because every small act of love, sovereignty, and truth is not only your freedom — it is a signal fire. And it lights the way for the next soul to rise.

Your soul is ready. The path is open. And your rising is the blessing your ancestors have been waiting for. They are cheering you on. And once you pass this test, align yourself fully with Source, and master the lessons you are being offered, you will often find a latent gift becomes unlocked. It happened for me and I have seen it for my friends. Once you are free and you have embodied and integrated the lessons that your soul has been invited to learn you will find yourself transformed. Stronger than you were when you began, more aligned with your life path, and more empowered than you could have imagined for yourself.

The choice is yours and the finish line is within sight. You are almost there.

When Energy Becomes a Weapon: Seeing Through Subtle Attacks

My Experience Since Leaving. Epilogue to the Sovereign Path Series.

When I left the group, I thought distance and clear separation would mean freedom. I left quietly, I did not retaliate, I have not used names or lashed out. I have cleared the karmic and akashic energy. I have simply spoken the truth with the intention of helping others and shining a light on a subject that, quite frankly, is not talked enough about. But I will be honest, about a heavier side effect of leaving that I did not expect - I have been attacked regularly since I left. These attacks have ranged from obvious and overt to very subtle and nuanced. They have ranged in seriousness and amplified reach. And, I want to share about my experience so that you too can recognize these patterns. Naming what is happening isn’t about fear - it’s about discernment and empowerment. When we see clearly, we reclaim our power to choose differently, to protect our energy, and to walk forward in a future aligned with truth. These attack patterns don’t always show up like you think they will. In fact, some of the things that I’ve experienced may surprise you - manipulations in how others read your energy, divination tool interference, energetic mimicry within connection to others, physical changes such as changes to my moon cycle, seeding of doubt, confusion and amplification of emotion with others - both in discord and elation, etc. The bottom line is that, at least in my experience, this is often a different kind of interference than you might anticipate—its much more quiet, deliberate, and nuanced - aimed not always at my body but at my energy and mind. And it is often built around a small speck or thread of truth making it very easy to second guess, dismiss entirely, or become confused about. And while I have shielded most of these, there have been a few stark lessons along the way.

Over the past several months I’ve experienced many forms:

    •    Spellwork and hexes (group or singular) designed to disrupt flow, steal or confuse gifts, futures, and bonds, and physically harm.

    •    Psychic attacks that strike at night or in moments of vulnerability.

    •    Glamour tactics that cloud perception, making the false appear true.

    •    Subtle energetic manipulation, woven into the edges of my (or other’s) awareness.

Here are a few examples:

• I had an argument with someone I rarely argue with, that was amplified and intense. The argument ignited over a seed of truth but the energetic interplay was much more dynamic and intense than it would have been without outside influence.

• I had a past life reading where the storyline was altered and the manipulator (who has been my sister in multiple past lives) re-authored the events to suit the outcome and narrative that they desired. It included just enough truth that it was very plausible. But, when I sat with it later and reflected, the energetic imprint and distortion was visible and undeniable.

• Divinatory tool readings have been manipulated on a few isolated occasions where the outcome was glamoured - both in a negative way on one occasion and an overly optimistic on another. Both again, to suit a desired outcome.

• Strong seeds of doubt have been implanted on multiple occasions - these I usually detect quickly but on a particularly chaotic day that was already high with emotional energy - I fell susceptible. And, it took me a day to recognize. Again, doubt and negativity seeded to suit desired outcomes.

Most recently, I experienced a spell crafted with one purpose: to distort and hide the truth itself. It didn’t try to silence me outright—it tried to confuse me, to make me doubt what I knew and second-guess what was clear in my bones.

How It Works

The tactics are rarely direct. They operate like smoke, slipping in through openings and hiding in the corners:

    •    Backdoor Access: They find ways to keep energetic access points open, often through old connections or cords left uncut.

    •    Watchers: Energy has been placed at the edges of my field, monitoring, waiting, reporting back.

    •    Peripheral Sitting: They don’t always strike—sometimes they hover at the edges, waiting for moments of distraction, emotional charge, or energetic lows or illness, because they know you are more vulnerable then.

    •    Through Others: If they can’t reach you directly, they often spy through connections—friends, shared spaces or tethers that they hold with someone you may still be in contact with - energetically or otherwise, or anyone who might unknowingly carry a line back to you.

    •    Timing: Any that were successful, were always when I was emotionally engaged, distracted, or processing something big. Always when my guard might have been lowered.

The goal is simple: to seed chaos, fear, or discontent. To silence or intimidate truth. To fracture clarity, stir confusion, and pull me off-center. Though the experiences can feel devastating in the moment, they often clear space for renewal. Each attack has the potential to catalyze deep healing and a new sense of spiritual alignment.

I Am Not Alone

This isn’t just about me. This is not a private, past life, or interpersonal conflict. This particular individual casts these spells and energetic workings routinely - almost like clockwork, in ritual, to an entire list of individuals. Anyone who there is any seed of discord, threat, or they sense resistance with. Often including those who have chosen to leave. And, they don’t just end with the individual themselves. In some cases, particularly those who are still actively tethered - they also include friends, acquaintances, and even persons that are only loosely connected in their lives. Anyone who might pose a threat, help expose, explore the truth, or empower them, or help them break free; anyone who refuses to feed the manipulator’s illusion. If you are involved in a dynamic like this and seeking help, clarity, or advice from someone else - even a non-professional like family or friends; be aware these people are often being attacked energetically also. Ask them. Have you felt anything “off” or different recently? Any unusual dreams, disruption in your temperament, mood, or how you feel in general after we talk or get together? The goal is to isolate you. To keep you confused, feeding into their negative loops (which strengthens their connection), and keep you dependent upon them. They love to see a backslide.

For some, the attacks show up as sudden doubts, strange mood swings, physical upset (something as simple as indigestion, random sexual feelings, disorientation or ungroundedness, headaches, throat ache, etc) or out-of-character conflict. For others, it’s physical exhaustion, depression, helplessness or anxiety, sleepless nights, indecision, or repeating patterns of miscommunication, mental fog, and disorientation.

The common thread is often some form of disruption. If you feel targeted, destabilized, ruminating, “off your game”, or constantly second-guessing yourself—know that you’re likely not imagining it, and you’re not alone.

Protecting Yourself

Awareness is the first shield. But there are other practical, energetic steps you can take. Here are a few simple ones:

1.    Close the Backdoors

    •    Identify lingering energetic ties (ex-partners, friends, energetic connections, past groups, old mentors, etc). Cut or cleanse those cords with ritual. Understand that if you continue engagement, you need to keep interaction short, maintain strong energetic boundaries, limit emotional entanglement, and use strong discernment. And always, cleanse your field afterwards.

    •    Audit your digital and energetic spaces—who has access, and why? Use strong discernment and rely upon your intuition to guide you.

 2.    Clear the Watchers

    •    Visualize a sweep of bright light moving through your field, dissolving anything that lingers without your consent.

    •    State clearly: “Only energies aligned with my highest good may remain.”

• Watch for signs (flickering candle wicks without a breeze, shadow movement, auric or subtle energetic changes, etc).

    3.    Anchor in Truth

    •    Journaling: Write what you know to be true before confusion sets in. Return to these pages when distortion tries to take hold.

    •    Body check: Truth feels grounding. Lies feel slippery. Let your nervous system, your intuition—not your mind—be your compass.

4.    Shield Daily

    •    Mirror shields: Surround yourself with reflective light, returning all distortion to Source.

    •    Salt + water: Baths, foot soaks, or even rinsing hands in salt water clears residue.

    •    Prayer or intention: Call on guides, ancestors, or deities aligned with truth to stand guard and help protect you.

• Energy Work: Regularly engage in energetic clearing, maintenance, and fortification

• Grounding: If you’re experiencing energy drains, try a simple grounding ritual: place both feet on the earth, visualize roots anchoring you deep into the soil, and affirm, “My energy is sovereign, my body is a temple, and I am protected”. This small daily act plants the seed of energetic sovereignty.

 5.    Community Vigilance

    •    Talk about what you notice. Share patterns. Manipulation thrives in secrecy and isolation—naming it breaks its spell. Make no mistake - if you are under energetic attack like this, it IS spiritual warfare. It is not about choosing sides - it is about choosing your own sovereignty, truth, and freedom. And it needs to be spoken for what it is - and with much more openness so we can learn from, and help, each other.

Turning the Tactic on Its Head

The irony of these attacks is that they strengthen what they seek to destroy. Each attempt to confuse me only sharpens my own clarity and grows my gifts. Each recognition strengthens my own intuition and teaches me. Each tether cut, frees me more. Each interference pushes me deeper into sovereignty.

And, it will do the same for you.

Because while chaos may be seeded, truth roots deeper. And once you’ve seen through the fog, you can never unsee the truth.

Closing Thoughts

Remember who you are. Lean into your own intuition. Trust yourself first - always. If you feel yourself under attack, spend time sitting with yourself and how you feel about something before you take action. Your intuition and your connection to Source cannot be taken from you and they cannot be manipulated. Your sovereignty, intuition, and spiritual protection are your strongest shields.

If you’ve felt the sting of unseen hands pulling at your energy, know this: it is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of your own power. They would not target you if you were not standing on something true, something somehow threatening to their illusion. Do not give in to fear. Stand in your own sovereignty and truth. Because without your consent, they are limited in their reach.

The sad reality of this is that this is often orchestrated by someone who has not done their own healing. Instead of getting to the root of their own trauma and wounding, they are spiritually bypassing and attempting to bend and control their own - and other’s (aka your!)- reality so that they don’t have to sit with the truth. And while I am deeply compassionate on this point, not confronting this in truth - both for yourself, your loved ones - and this manipulator - allows them to continue to bypass. We all have dark nights of the soul. We all have lessons that we are fated to confront and learn from as part of our soul’s evolution. And we are all given opportunities to heal and live our lives abundantly and from a place of true joy, peace, and wholeness. Manipulation may putt the ball. It may delay some of these truths from surfacing. But it will never bring the long-lasting wholeness and healing that each of us deserves and desires. The hard truth is that indecision will make separating and taking the leap from this, all the harder. Every hook that has been used, or has ever been successful, has been tethered to an area of weakness or wounding. Breaking free will never be easy. But the sooner you choose to make that cut, the easier it will be.

This is a heavy post. Many of the posts in this series are heavy. And they deal with dark, uncomfortable topics. Spiritual warfare isn’t pleasant, pretty, and certainly not fun. But, if it’s a path you’ve encountered in your life journey, trust that it is here for a reason and offers a valuable lesson. And how you choose to respond to that lesson will largely determine how it unfolds in your future - as a gift, a shameful moment or experience you regret, or a trauma that you may be tempted to suppress and bury. There is nothing to be ashamed from if you have been entangled in manipulative entrapment. The danger is in letting the wound define us. These attacks are not the whole story - they are simply a chapter. The real story is in how we rise, heal, and embody more light and sovereignty than ever before afterwards. The beauty in every lesson we are offered is that when you sit with the work of untangling and healing you take away the power that has been held over you. Every ounce of shame, guilt, and vulnerability becomes alchemized into a strength, and ultimately, a gift. You learn to heal - not just bandaid and bypass - but truly heal - the areas that they exploited. You become stronger, more resilient, and if desired, you can become a guide for others to help them heal in their own journey. And for those of you who have leadership in your future? Well you will undoubtedly become all the more prepared as a result of this trial. When you do the work, you truly do become all the better for it.

When we recognize what is happening and choose not to fear or resist it, to set aside our own ego and meet it with clarity, discernment, and protection, we begin to embody a deeper freedom. We move from being pulled into other’s shadows to anchoring in our own light. If you take anything from my story, let it be this: your energy is sovereign, your body is sacred, and your spirit cannot be stolen. With each act of discernment, with each ritual of grounding, and with each moment of finally choosing yourself - you plant the seed of liberation. And those seeds ripple outward, empowering not just you, but the collective as well. So let the heaviness fall away. Step forward lighter, clearer, freer, and more empowered with awareness, clarity, and hope. This is not about fear, it is about freedom. This is not about being attacked, but about remembering and standing in who you truly are. Because when you stand in your own truth, when you stand in your own sovereignty, and when you stand aligned in your life path with your ancestors, guides, and spirit team surrounding you, you will find that you have far more power than you ever thought possible and this little test? You will pass it, grow from it, and bloom wildly more brighter as a result.

Leaving an unhealthy group dynamic is never just about the hardships of doing so and breaking away from attacks - it’s about what comes after. The relief that follows, the weight that lifts, the freedom to breathe in your own energy again - this is where empowerment begins. And while there will always be shadows to name, there is also joy, clarity, and abundance waiting on the other side. In a future installment on this series, I’ll share what it feels like to step beyond the attacks: the tremendous release, the lessons carried forward, and the spiritual strength that rises when your sovereignty is reclaimed.

Until then, much love always,

The Sisterhood Wound: Why You’re Afraid to Speak, Lead, or Shine

Why Women Stay Silent: The Hidden Wound No One Talks About

There’s a grief that lies in our bones, which we rarely name.

It’s the ache of betrayal without a blade. A silencing that doesn’t come from force, but from side-eyes, group chats, and a quiet withdrawal of warmth the moment you dare to become too much—too loud, too visible, too different.

This is the Sisterhood Wound.

And whether you were shamed by a friend for sharing too much, rejected by a group when you dared to lead, or quietly punished for shining brighter than what was “allowed,” this wound shapes more of our self-worth than we realize.

What Is the Sisterhood Wound?

The Sisterhood Wound is a collective trauma rooted in centuries of competition, scarcity, and betrayal among women and feminine beings. It shows up when:

    •    You hesitate to speak your truth in a group.

    •    You play small so others won’t feel uncomfortable.

    •    You avoid leadership to avoid being targeted.

    •    You distrust other women’s motives—especially in spiritual or professional circles.

    •    You shrink after being praised, fearing the backlash.

Historically, our power as women was dangerous. Over time, in countless ways, it was quietly targeted and diminished. To survive, women were often forced to betray each other. Think: witch trials, arranged marriages, inheritance laws, exclusion from education, etc. Survival meant loyalty to patriarchy over sisterhood. And despite our many advancements, that ancestral scar still echoes today. And if you are a man and you’re reading this, and identify with it, it’s likely because you carry a similar community wound. Sadly, these are far more common than we think. And they are important to recognize, name, and heal, because without doing so, they will hold you back and replay in different variants, over and over again in your life.

Personal Signs You’re Holding This Wound

    •    You second-guess yourself after sharing something vulnerable.

    •    You feel “energetically punished” when you set healthy boundaries.

    •    You fear being seen, even if you crave it.

    •    You’ve felt scapegoated in friend groups.

    •    You shrink your own magic and magnetism so others don’t feel insecure.

Let me say this clearly: none of this means you’re broken. It means your nervous system has learned to associate safety with invisibility—and that can be healed.

When This Wound Shows Up in Community

Recently, (story shared within the Sovereign Path Series), I witnessed this dynamic unfold in real time.

What began as a sacred space for growth and initiation slowly revealed fractures beneath the surface—moments where others bypassed hard truths, betrayed private trust, stood with a leader even if it went against their gut instincts, or quietly silenced one another’s voices.

Because when the Sisterhood Wound is active inside a community, it creates fertile ground for control, confusion, and silence.

Some of us questioned ourselves:

“Was I too much?”

“Did I misread the energy?”

“Is it safer to stay quiet than risk conflict?”

Others felt pressured to conform to the collective story, fearing exile if they dared to speak against it.

Why This Happens in Group Dynamics:

1. The Group Mindset - Why We Stay Quiet

When we sense conflict, exclusion, or betrayal within a group, most people don’t act from their highest selves - they act from survival. The nervous system reads rejection or confrontation as a threat. This triggers what psychologists call fawning (appeasing), freezing (shutting down), or mirroring (aligning with the dominant voice to avoid exile). And in spiritual spaces or other groups centered around healing, spirituality, or personal growth, where we expect safety and authenticity, this can often look like:

• Staying silent rather than risking being seen as “the problem”

• Siding with the most charismatic voice to avoid being targeted

• Self-betraying (“I’m fine, it’s fine”) while quietly collapsing inside

• Bypassing harm with “love and light” language (or other superficial stories of false community or celebration) to maintain the illusion of harmony

This isn’t weakness. It’s wiring.

Our ancestors learned that exile from the tribe meant death. And our nervous systems still carry that memory.

2. How Manipulators Exploit This Wound

Trust me when I say, a manipulative leader doesn’t always look like a tyrant or a readily visible person you can easily peg. More often than not, they appear supportive, magnetic, and benevolent on the surface. But underneath, they’re studying the group, sensing vulnerabilities, and using our longing to belong as leverage.

Some common tactics:

• Reframing Dissent as Betrayal -

Anyone who questions the narrative gets labeled as “negative”, “unspiritual”, simply “doesn’t understand”, or is “not in alignment”. This is intentional - it weaponizes the Sisterhood Wound - making others fear becoming the next exile. Healthy leaders aren’t afraid or threatened of respectful discord, curious exploration, or discussions that open a collective mindset or group perspective. They genuinely want to learn from each other, support each other, and support the greater good of the collective.

• Creating Conditional Safety

Approval, access, or visibility within the group is tied (usually subtly) to obedience. Those who comply are “chosen”, “seen”, or validated in some way. Those who challenge are usually subtly pulled out of positions of influence or iced over. If you are in a group with subtle or overt control dynamics, rethink the psychological health of that community. Healthy communities support your psychological safety - they encourage you to respectfully share opinions, questions, and wins. There is no hidden rivalry or competition.; they cultivate a culture of genuine camaraderie.

• Controlling the Story

When harm happens, the manipulator reframes it so they remain the benevolent guide and others are blamed, dismissed, or doubted. Or, other methods, such as triangulation is used to seed multiple storylines and create conflict and control through interpersonal dynamics. Over time, this erodes trust - but the illusion of harmony keeps people quiet. Respectful discord is healthy. Mature people understand that there will always be differences of opinion and that no one person is ever without error. A healthy leader understands the need to hold compassionate truth and to also let energy naturally ebb and flow. They cultivate a culture dynamic of openness, compassion, synergy, and respect. The human experience will never be perfect, nor will your spiritual path. And healthy leaders understand perfection and control are not the goal.

• Exploiting Spiritual Bypassing

You may hear phrases like “we’re all mirrors”, “you’re being triggered”, “this points to an unhealed wound”, “you’re being offered a lesson”, “don’t focus on negativity”, “we don’t need to go into the shadow - we’ve transcended that”, “focus on your higher timeline”, “this is sacred work -its not for everyone”, etc. Underneath all of it, the manipulator leverages one unspoken fear: “If you challenge me, you will lose your belonging.” And because the Sisterhood Wound (or some other community wound that you hold) already tells us “being seen isn’t safe”, we comply, collapse, or retreat - even when something feels deeply wrong on a subconscious level. Healthy leaders understand life is cyclical - we all have seasons that include challenges, lessons, and dark nights of the soul as well as beautiful seasons of abundance, flow, and ease. A good spiritual mentor is there to help guide you into sitting in your discomfort, unearthing what rises to be witnessed and healed, and helping to compassionately hold space and support you through that process.

3. Why We Turn On Ourselves Instead of Speaking Up

Here’s the deepest layer of psychology in all of this: When conflict or harm happens, we often self-betray before we challenge the group.

Why?

• Attachment>Authenticity

Our nervous system is wired to protect connection first. We would rather suppress our truth than to risk rejection.

• Inherited Scarcity

We’ve internalized the belief that safe, supportive, aligned communities are rare. We cling tightly to the one we have, even if it wounds us. Or, if we suffer from any kind of abandonment wound around community or “family”, this may show up in a similar fashion, as a fear and scarcity wound, if our sense of belonging is subconsciously threatened.

• Trauma Conditioning

Many of us grew up in dynamics where love was conditional - so we normalize subtle forms of manipulation, exclusion, or control.

• Ego + Self Protection

Sometimes we turn on ourselves instead of speaking up because our ego wants to protect us from feeling foolish. It whispers, “Don’t admit you were wrong, don’t show you were fooled.” At its root, ego is trauma-born - it once kept us safe when harm was very real. But left unchecked, integrated, and fully healed - what once protected us can now limit us. Because here’s the truth: admitting we were deceived isn’t weakness - it’s courage. Every time we choose honesty over ego, we reclaim our power, honor ourselves, and free ourselves to grow. True strength is choosing authenticity over ego, clarity over illusion, and ourselves always over any misplaced fear. Every time we do, we reclaim our own sovereign power and step into growth.

Sovereignty is the Antidote

But, while these moments were painful— they were also clarifying.

Because they exposed the trap of the Sisterhood Wound inside group spaces:

We silence ourselves to belong, then abandon ourselves in the process.

And this is wildly dangerous. And far more slippery and subtle than you might imagine.

The turning point comes when you name what is happening - inside and around you. You use your discernment and listen to your body’s whisper when something feels off or misaligned, you choose yourself and healthy boundaries, and you reclaim your sovereignty. Because these moments you experienced reveal where sovereignty begins:

not in controlling others,

not in bypassing discomfort,

but in choosing truth over belonging. Time and time again.

In recognizing that your belonging starts when you claim yourself - because your sovereignty is held within you - it is not held externally in someone else’s approval or control. True leadership, true sisterhood, true community - they never require bypassing your instincts or compromising your truth.

The gift of this ordeal is seeing, with clarity, the pattern for what it is. The Sisterhood Wound is not just your wound—it’s ours collectively. Naming it helps us stop internalizing the shame and start breaking the cycle together. It helps us to start recognizing this wound and taking action directly to heal it. And manipulation always loses its power when you step into sovereignty and clarity - because clarity cannot be controlled.

How This Wound Protects Itself

When unhealed, this wound tends to recycle through the same behaviors:

    •    Bypassing: Pretending harmony exists while ignoring harm.

    •    Betrayal: Sharing one story publicly, another behind closed doors.

    •    Silencing: Withdrawing connection when someone speaks a truth that’s uncomfortable.

These aren’t signs of weakness. They’re survival strategies rooted in centuries of fear.

But sovereignty asks us to pause, name them, and choose a new response.

Moving Through the Ordeal

Healing this wound isn’t about going back to how things were before. It’s about stepping into a deeper truth:

    •    That you don’t have to dim your light to belong.

    •    That your voice is not a threat—it’s medicine. And you are meant to speak it boldly.

    •    That healthy boundaries and clarity create more real connection, not less.

This is the work of sovereignty:

Choosing authenticity over acceptance.

Choosing discernment over illusion.

Choosing your soul’s truth even when it costs you temporary belonging.

Why Healing This Wound Matters

This isn’t just about friendship.

Healing the Sisterhood Wound is what frees your voice, ignites your leadership, and unlocks your legacy. Because if you’re still afraid to shine in front of women - or any group or community, you’ll subconsciously sabotage your own success.

Until you repair this fracture, you may:

    •    Resist mentorship or community.

    •    Avoid collaborations out of mistrust.

    •    Stay small to avoid being resented.

• Avoid opportunities out of fear of being misunderstood.

• Avoid true intimacy and connection with others.

This is not your fault. But it is yours to shift.

Re-Parenting the Sisterhood Wound

You don’t need to wait for an apology or the perfect circle to begin healing. You can become your own safe witness.

Here are a few sacred self-repair tools:

1. Name the First Memory

Close your eyes and reflect. When was the first time another girl or woman made you feel “too much”? Name her. Name the moment. And speak this aloud:

“You didn’t know how to hold my light. That wasn’t my fault. I release all judgement around this and reclaim my power.”

2. Daily Nervous System Affirmation

Say this to yourself as you prepare to speak, post, or lead:

“It’s safe to be seen. It’s safe to be powerful. I choose love over fear, truth over silence.”

3. Mirror Practice

Look yourself in the eye and say:

“I trust you to speak boldly and speak the truth. You are always safe. I have your back.”

Journal Prompts for Integration

    •    When have I silenced myself to keep the peace? What did that cost me?

    •    Who did I give my power to, and why?

• Where have I traded authenticity for belonging?

    •    What am I most afraid will happen if I let myself shine fully?

    •    Where do I still crave approval or validation from others?

    •    What kind of sisterhood feels safe, sacred, and aligned for me now?

You are not alone in this ache. What you’ve carried is part of a much larger story - one woven through generations of women taught to compete, conform, survive, and stay small. But this is the turning point. Every time you speak your truth, choose your voice, and take up space, you break the old spell and create a new possibility for all of us.

Your Light Is a Catalyst, Not a Threat

Your voice, your vision, your visibility—they’re not betrayals of the collective. They’re medicine. They’re invitations for others to rise.

The Sisterhood Wound taught us to fear each other. It embedded this fear.

But your healing teaches you to belong to yourself—and in doing so, to also belong to others who are ready to love you without condition or control.

It’s time to befriend your own brilliance.

To boldly speak the truth.

To shine unabashedly.

To lead with integrity, radiance, and grounded humility.

Together we do this.

Not with fake and ill supported threads, but with hand and soul bounded celebration - holding and uplifting each other.

Because as one of us heals and shines, we encourage our sister next to us, to do the same.

And together, that is how we support healing and true change.

I’ve felt the sting of this wound myself - many times in my life and often wondered where its root was held. I’ve sat in many circles where I wanted so badly to belong, only to feel invisible, dismissed, or even subtly undermined. I used to think the problem was me. But over time, I realized these patterns weren’t about my worth - or even about my confidence - they were reflections of pain passed down through generations of women, pain that taught us to compete instead of trust.

The real work begins when we name it. When we remember that we are not each other’s enemies. When we choose to rise above old scripts and instead build spaces rooted in trust, encouragement, and sovereignty.

If you’ve carried this wound also, I invite you to pause and reflect: Where have I silenced myself in order to belong? And what would it feel like to stand in my own truth anyway?

Because this is how the Sisterhood Wound begins to heal - one voice, one truth, one act of courage at a time.

The Sovereign Path Epilogue III: False Loyalty & The Breaking of Psychic & Psychosexual Tethers

Some bonds are not love at all, but entrapment disguised as loyalty. Naming the tether is the first act of freedom. This post explores how tethers trap us in waking life and in the dreamscape.

Some bonds nourish. Others drain. Not all chains are visible. And some are not bonds at all, but energetic traps crafted to disguise as intimacy, loyalty, and even “love”. These traps are tethers - psychic cords designed to bind your will. Some are woven in silence, through attention, secrecy, or desire. These cords, once hooked, can leave us bound in ways we don’t understand. We may even wake up wondering why we feel pulled towards someone we don’t consciously choose, or why our own clarity keeps collapsing into confusion.

But, once they are seen for what they truly are, they can be broken.

Once broken, your sovereignty returns.

And if this has been you, hear this: It does not mean you are weak. It means your soul is learning to reclaim its freedom. Once these patterns are seen for what they are, and named, their hidden power over you dissolves.

What They Are, In Plain Terms:

A psychosexual tether is an energetic + psychological binding created through intimacy, attention, and manipulation.

It hijacks the body’s bonding chemistry (dopamine/oxytocin), overlays it with glamour (image, mystique, spiritual authority), and locks it in with control patterns (guilt, secrecy, intermittent reward, etc.).

The result: you feel compelled to stay connected even when your soul knows you should walk away.

How They Begin:

Psychosexual tethers rarely start with something obvious. They are seeded in small moments - an unspoken agreement, an unresolved attraction, a dynamic where secret itself fuels the charge. Over time, this exchange of energy becomes a loop: longing, guilt, release, repeat.

The tether works because it bypasses conscious choice. Your energy is engaged whether you want it to be or not. And the stronger it stays hidden, fed, and unacknowledged, the stronger it grows.

The Astral Realm: Where Hidden Tethers Are Often Forged

But what happens when the cords aren’t formed in daylight? What if the entanglement begins in places we barely remember - the dreamscape?

The astral and dream realms are fertile ground for manipulation. Here, our guard is lowered, our subconscious is wide open, and our most primal energies - desire, fear, longing - rise to the surface. For those who seek control, this becomes the perfect entry point.

Why? Because the dream body doesn’t distinguish between “just a dream” and a lived experience. When someone plants a sexual or emotional tether in the astral plane, the body and psyche register it as real. Over time, the victim may awake with cravings, confusion, or an unexplainable sense of attachment that feels “fated” - but is in truth manufactured.

These tethers are especially potent in relationships that are not overtly romantic. When overt intimacy is absent, the manipulator uses astral encounters to “fill in the gap”, weaving cords of sexual charge and psychic energy that create an addictive pull. What should have remained platonic or sacred is quietly rewired into obsession, dependence, a false sense of loyalty, or longing.

Step by Step for How These Tethers Form:

    1.    Hook: Love-bombing, sexual charge, soulmate mirroring - sometimes energetically mimicking a real connection, other times fabricating a false karmic or soul bond.

*This was perhaps one of the most disturbing things I saw in my experience, as it is highly convincing and truly cruel to do to someone. See previous posts for in-depth discussion regarding how this works.

    2.    Glamour: A crafted mystique - spiritual leader, chosen partner, or some sort of “special role” is crafted around them.

    3.    Bonding event: Intense intimacy or some sort of “secret sharing” that seals the tie. This can feel very real, even if there is no romance involved.

    4.    Intermittent reinforcement: Unpredictable warmth/cold patterns keep you addicted.

*See previous posts for in-depth discussion on how this works energetically and on your Nervous System.

    5.    Debt + Obligation: They make you feel like subconsciously you “owe” them — your silence, your loyalty, your energy, etc. Loyalty born from debt is not devotion - it is a tether that drains the very strength it pretends to honor.

    6.    Isolation: They pit people against each other (aka use triangulation techniques); you become elevated as the “chosen one” until you’re discarded and replaced.

    7.    Fear: Some sort of true fear pattern is created and reinforced typically involving the group, your identity, or destiny to keep you trapped, such as “If you leave, you lose everything — me, the group, your path.” Depending on how long you have been under this influence, how strong the tether is, and how long this loop has been reinforced and embedded, this can seem very real and threatening.

How It Works:

    •    Chemical Loop: Dopamine anticipation + oxytocin bonding + cortisol stress = an addictive push-pull dynamic is intentionally created.

    •    Meaning Loop: Ordinary control dressed up as “destiny, karma, or a shared mission.” With a truly gifted energetic practitioner these loops are individually crafted and created for the unique wounds and desires of the person, their energetic make-up, and the intentional purpose the creator wishes for them to serve.

    •    Energetic Loop: Your focus, fear, and even sexual energy feed the cord.

    •    Context Loop: Group dynamics normalize it so you doubt your instincts. And remember, glamour works by dulling your instincts, your agency, and your gifts. You are seeing all of this through a fogged lens and not true clarity.

How to Know If You’ve Been Bound Through Astral or Dreamscape:

• You’ve had recurring dreams of intimacy with someone you would never consciously choose in waking life. The dream feels strangely real and leaves a residue.

• You wake up with unexplained arousal, longing or guilt, as if something happened that you can’t fully place.

• You often feel drained, foggy, or heavy after sleep, as though your energy has been siphoned overnight.

• There’s a nagging pull toward a person that doesn’t match your real-life discernment. You know in your bones it’s not right, but something unseen keeps tugging you back.

• You may notice loops and cycles - moments of clarity where you want freedom, followed by sudden confusion, longing, or return.

Other Ways These Tethers May Feel:

    •    Compulsion stronger than free choice: you “decide” but feel dragged. You are being energetically coerced as the tether and loops in place keep you under their control.

    •    Brief highs, long lows.

    •    Guilt or debt replaces your joy.

    •    Shrinking life: fewer friends, family connection, hobbies - ultimately, less freedom, vitality, and less self.

    •    Constant tension: keeping them happy means betraying your own peace. As you awaken to this you will start to notice this dissonance more clearly but may still feel “bound’ in a sense. For example, even if you decide to walk away, you may feel like you can’t yet - you will not find clarity and decisive energy until you break the tethers.

Seeing is Believing (Self-Test):

Ask yourself:

    1.    Freedom Test: Could I walk away tomorrow without fear of collapse?

    2.    Debt Test: Am I staying because I want to, out of true love or community, or because I feel a sense of obligation, as if I somehow “owe” them?

    3.    Expansion Test: Do I feel larger, freer, more myself in this bond — or smaller and trapped? Is this bringing out the best in me?

    4.    Sunlight Test: If someone I trusted read our last 10 messages, would they call it love or control? Have any of the above shared feelings or experiences landed as true?

    5.    Future Test: If they vanished for 30 days, would my life expand or collapse?

If your answers lean toward fear, debt, collapse, or shame → it’s not love, it’s a tether.

The Wider Web: Other Tethers That Bind:

Psychosexual tethers are only one thread in the web.

Here are the others:

• Psychic Tether: Obsessive thought and focus, constant pull

• Emotional Debt Cord: Guilt and obligation used as currency.

• Trauma-Bond Cord: Abuse—>reward—>abuse, cycling until you can’t leave

• Group/Collective Cord: Belonging tied to hierarchy, exile used as threat.

• Magickal/Ritual Cord: Intentional energetic bindings, often with objects. Can often times be used to ensure you don’t physically leave a group.

• Ancestral/Karmic Cord: Past-life or family entanglements exploited by manipulators.

A skilled black magick practitioner rarely uses just one. They weave layers - a net that feels impossible to escape until you see each thread and break them.

Breaking the Tether:

Here is the uncomfortable truth - you are never powerless against these tactics. The cords may feel real to you and binding - but they are truly smoke and mirrors once you see them for what they really are.

To break them:

    •    Name it aloud: Truth itself is a sword. What was hidden cannot stay hooked once spoken. Speaking the truth weakens and dissolves the glamour.

    •    Reclaim your dreamscape & Revoke Any Debt: Before sleep affirm: Only what is of Spirit may enter here. My soul belongs to no one but the Divine.

• Practice Daily Sovereignty: Breathwork, prayer, or shielding rituals remind your system where your authority lies.

    •    Walk away: Even small steps reclaim freedom; one step alone helps to weaken the net.

    •   Call back your fragments: Imagine drawing your energy out of every dream, fantasy, memory, or feeling where it does not belong or where you do not consent for it to be. See it return to your body, your heart, your Spirit.

•  Reset the body: Movement, breath, rest, salt, grounding — heal your nervous system.

    •    Repattern bonds: Surround yourself with people who make you feel bigger, freer, clearer. Reconnect with friends, family, and hobbies - anything that allows you to start seeing the contrast, feel again, and reconnect consciously to your body, your innate desires and will, and true, healthy connection and relationship.

    •    Shield: Protect your field with intention (Prayer, Mediation & Visualization, Ritual, Salt Baths, LBRP/Middle Pillar/Rite of the Headless One; whatever aligns with your spiritual path - but do energetic protections and field maintenance regularly - especially before sleep, group activity, or any astral travel). Set the daily intention for your field: Only love and truth may enter. All else returns to Source.

Here’s the truth: even in dreams your soul is sovereign. No glamour, no hidden contract, no erotic entanglement has the right to bind you without your consent. Naming these tactics with clarity is the first cut of the sword. Recognizing them dissolves their hidden power. And, once seen, they can no longer weave themselves silently around your spirit. Each act of reclamation loosens the cords until they dissolve entirely.

When you begin to see even your dreamscape and astral plane as holy ground - sacred, sovereign, untouchable - you reclaim the parts of yourself that were once hijacked in the shadows. This is where true freedom begins.

Why This Is Done:

At its root, tethering (and really any form of black magick) is about power, control, and self benefit. The manipulator feeds off sexual and psychic energy like a battery, especially when they can attach it to secrecy or shame. It makes them more powerful, youthful, magnetic. It feeds their ego and allows them greater power to achieve their goals.

Non-romantic dynamics are often targeted precisely because they bypass defenses. If the waking relationship doesn’t “make sense” as intimate, the dreamscape tethering fills the gap, making the pull feel destined. And rarely does the trusting or non-suspecting person confront a teacher, mentor, or otherwise platonic figure in their life about crossing sexual lines in a way they’ve never seen in the physical plane or have any “proof” they can use to justify such an accusation. So, its usually dismissed as “in their head” or unrelated - especially if they are already under glamours (which nearly always goes hand in hand) and is already dulling their intuition, and fogging their sense of clarity and discernment.

The Truth About Love & Loyalty

Real loyalty is chosen freely.

Real love never imprisons, it frees.

Real bonds expand your soul.

Anything else is glamour, imbalance, and energetic theft and coercion. And when you name it — it begins to die.

Entrapment and false loyalty are not love - they are illusions that borrow your strength until you name them.

If you find yourself bound, it does not mean you are weak - it means your soul is being trained in the art of reclaiming its freedom.

Tethers only hold as long as you call them love or loyalty. The moment you name them for what they truly are, their hold over you begins to break. Real love expands your world - false loyalty shrinks it. The Sovereign Path is simple: consciously choose expansion, every time.

Freedom Is Your Birthright

Psychosexual cords, whether formed in waking life or woven in dreamscape, are never stronger than your Sovereign will aligned with Spirit. Once named, they dissolve. Once claimed, your freedom can no longer be taken.

You are not bound. You are sovereign. And in remembering that truth, you are already free.

The Sovereign Path - Part 4. Beneath the Glamour: Black Magick - The Invisible Hand That Binds

In full disclaimer, I do not practice black magick. Until a few weeks ago, I couldn’t tell you the first thing about it. But, what has unfolded in the past few weeks has forced me into a very steep education and I’ve been shown about various elements at play. This post is written to cast a light on what was hidden - and through truth and awareness, offer a path back to your power and purpose.

Black magick doesn’t always wear a hooded cloak or cackle in the dark. Sometimes it smiles sweetly and tells you it’s here to help. Sometimes it builds community. Sometimes it hands you a mirror, only to hijack what you see in it.

This post is for anyone who has ever felt “off”, foggy, disoriented, or disempowered in a spiritual space that they once trusted. If you’ve ever questioned your instincts, ignored red flags, or felt bound to a person or teacher beyond reason - you’re not crazy. You may have been caught in an energetic web of manipulation.

If that’s you - this post is your lifeline.

Because I see you.

I’ve been you.

And its time to break the spell.

Why This Matters

The spiritual world is full of beauty and healing - but as with anything, duality is also at play, and it is also full of shadow.

Not because spirituality in itself is dangerous, but because anything powerful can be inverted.

Light attracts moths and predators.

And, if you’ve ever felt spiritually hijacked - bound to someone or something in the distorted name of “love” or “truth” - you know exactly what I’m taking about.

This post is not intended to scare you.

It’s to educate you, protect you, and ultimately help you reclaim your soul authority.

This is the post you didn’t know you needed - the one that makes you whisper “OMG, this is what happened to me”, and then helps you rise out of it, sovereign and whole.

What is Black Magick- Really?

At its core, black magick is the willful manipulation of energy, perception, or spiritual laws in order to bypass free will, control another’s path, or extract power for personal gain. It operates through distortion. Through coercion. Through theft of sovereignty.

It thrives in ambiguity, false compassion, and spiritual bypassing.

It may masquerade as guidance or healing. It may wear the mask of a teacher, It may speak the language of love, awakening, or truth.

But, at its root, black magick is inversion. Inversion is the act of turning something sacred inside out and using it as a tool of control:

• Truth becomes gaslighting

• Love becomes control

• Devotion becomes enslavement

• Initiation becomes trauma bonding

• Reflection becomes projection

• Service becomes sacrifice

It ultimately uses your goodness against you. Your empathy becomes a leash. Your desire to grow becomes entrapment. Your silence becomes consent.

It is not karmic. It is not shadow work. It is domination, carefully crafted manipulation, and it is a dangerous, parasitic theft.

And in my opinion, it’s critical to name it for what it is. Because trying to rationalize everything as “neutral” or part of the lesson” helps no one.

Black magick will never be neutralized with neutrality. Its goal is not healing. Its goal is dominion.

This is not the path of healing or shadow integration - it is the unhealed shadow acting through you, driven by the desire to possess and control.

Qlipothic Distortion & Misuse of Shadow

Let me be clear:

The Qlipoth itself is not evil.

The Qlipoth - also called the Tree of Death or the Shadow Tree - is a real, profound mystical system.

It’s a symbolic map of the psyche’s descent - into shadow, fragmentation, and the exiled parts the self.

When approached with reverence and integrity, it can lead to profound healing, transformation, and power reclamation.

A way to integrate what was once denied.

To reclaim personal sovereignty - not to steal anyone else’s.

But like any potent system, it can be distorted.

And when it is no longer used for self-integration- but instead for manipulation - that is how it gets twisted into a tool of control. And why it is so often found woven throughout black magick.

Examples - How This Plays Out In Practice

• Qlipothic Chains - a tethering system of invisible energetic links designed to bind people into energetic submission; creating subtle but powerful compliance loops

• Mantras -repeated phrases that layer intention into the field, bypassing logic and embedding control; not used for empowerment, but to override will and implant spiritual agreements.

• Astral whispers in dream space or meditation - subtle energetic suggestions that sounded like intuition but instead create longing, craving, or guilt

• Energetic architecture that mirrored Qlipothic descent - not as a personal rite but as a group mechanism to extract devotion, compliance, and psychic access.

I was shown these through visceral, embodied experiences. I could feel the energetic “chains” tightening in the field after being shown a ritual. I watched others become disoriented, hyper-attached, or psychically fogged, convinced it was their shadow coming up - when in truth, it was spell architecture being reinforced.

How Black Magick Distorts Spiritual Law

Black magick doesn’t operate in chaos - it thrives on inverting spiritual law - by subtly warping what is sacred.

Examples:

• Sacred law of consent is replaced with illusion - You’re led to believe you’ve agreed - through mantras, soul contract language, or “remembering” - but there was no real choice. Only energetic coercion masked as destiny.

• Sacred timing is replaced with entrapment cycles - Instead of trusting organic evolution, you’re looped into rituals or energetic bindings that keep you “working the process” indefinitely - never quite free, never quite whole, but always promised you’re almost there.

• Law of Reflection is replaced with gaslighting - Your intuition is reframed as “ego”, your boundaries as resistance or “wounding”, and your clarity as “projection” - so that you doubt yourself and default to their version of truth.

• Divine Will is replaced with manufactured fate - Instead of surrendering to Source, you’re funneled into a scripted path - crafted by someone else’s agenda but masked as your soul’s mission. Free will is bypassed under the illusion of sacred inevitability.

• Initiation is replaced with control - what is presented as a rite of transformation is actually a rite of binding - designed to siphon your energy or block you, not awaken your power.

Why It Hooks So Deeply

Because it mirrors real shadow work just enough to confuse you.

You think you’re facing your shadow.

You think you’re healing.

You think this discomfort means you’re being initiated.

But in reality?

You’re being energetically manipulated.

You’re being spiritually tethered under the guise of transformation.

You’re giving consent without knowing it - because the architecture is designed that way.

And once you’re inside it, you begin to override your instincts.

You start to doubt yourself in the name of growth.

That’s not healing.

That’s spellwork that feeds on confusion, craving, and shame.

Let’s Name It Clearly

This isn’t the sacred descent into shadow or Qlipoth.

This is the strategic use of spiritual mechanics to entrap.

It’s not about owning your darkness.

It’s about someone else controlling the terrain of your soul - while convincing you it’s your own path.

The Qlipoth, like any archetypal map, can be approached with clarity, devotion, and consent.

But when its weaponized?

It becomes a psychic prison disguised as a temple.

The Core Distinction: Consent & Sovereignty

The true line between light and dark magick is consent. Light magick honors your will. It may challenge you. It may bring you to your knees with growth - but it never overrides your sovereignty. It moves with divine timing - not force.

Black magick however, overrides your will. It operates off of fear, seduction, confusion, glamour, or authority to coerce alignment. It bends reality to the will of the practitioner, regardless of the soul contract or true consent of the other.

In other words light magick liberates. Dark magick entraps.

Black magick is willful violation of spiritual law - especially the law of consent. And no matter how beautiful, enticing, or promising it may seem, if it binds you instead of freeing you, it is never light.

It often works much more subtly than you might expect through tactics such as:

• Energetic tethering (cords, bindings, glamour)

• Astral manipulation (dream invasion, watchers, etheric interference)

• Sexual energy siphoning (often masked as intimacy or healing)

• False soul contracts (initiations, vows, pacts made under duress or illusion, often without full conscious awareness)

• Trauma bonding (bonding through shared wound or crisis, then controlling access to safety or love)

• Mirror mimicry (reflecting your gifts or wounds back to you, then weaponizing them)

• Power inversion (you’re told your instincts are ego; your clarity is projection)

It Works Because It Hooks The Wound

Black magick feeds on unhealed pain:

• Your longing to belong

• Your hunger to be chosen

• Your desire to serve

• Your fear of abandonment

• Your rejection trauma

• Your self-doubt

• Your dreams of success

A skilled manipulator doesn’t create the wound - they simply exploit it. Light magick heals the inner child. Dark magick hooks it.

How to Know You’ve Been Touched By It

You might feel:

• Emotionally fused to someone, even if you consciously know they are harming you

• Fearful of “leaving” a group or teacher, as if you’ll spiritually regress or be cursed

• Psychically fogged, disconnected from your own inner knowing

• Drained or confused after interactions

• Addicted to approval or “love” that comes with strings

• Spiritually unsafe in your own space, dreams, or altar

If you in any way feel split from your own truth, or not in touch with your normally astute intuition, this may be why.

Tools of the Trade - How It All Works

1. Astral Work, Astral Tagging, Energetic Tethering, & Watchers: The Unseen Surveillance State

This layer rarely gets named but is critical:

Shadow magick workers often access your field during sleep or meditation, watching, planting, siphoning energy, and influencing your dreams.

Watchers are astral entities sent to observe or influence - not protect. This isn’t simply “checking in” and monitoring you - it is energetic trespassing, often disguised as connection, protection, or spiritual authority. These are cords that you never consented to - often created through group work, shared “healing” rituals, sex magick, trauma bonding, soul contract invocations, or emotional fusion. They create a feedback loop where your energy can be accessed, especially when you’re vulnerable.

Examples of How This May Be Used:

• Ideas, images, or feelings may be implanted in your dreams to create doubt or longing; whatever suits the narrative they want to see in the physical

• Your energy may be monitored for ‘weak spots’ - especially after trauma, expansion, or vulnerable sharing sessions

• They may insert themselves during ritual you perform for yourself, feeding off your focus and spiritual openness

Spirits, familiars, or servitors may be assigned to “watch over” or even “police” your energy. You may notice:

• Feeling “watched” during sacred work

• Candles flickering with no draft

• Sudden emotional shifts that are not your own

• Erotic dreams with the wrong energetic feel

• Feeling “tugged” back into connection after cutting cords

• Disorientation

• Flickering lights or a cold breeze when meditating, doing any ritual or divination work, etc.

• Physical discomfort - energetically drained, sexually confused, brain fog, agitation or anxiety, upset stomach or other obscure somatic changes

• You may feel like you “see” things - energetic eyes watching you, an observer in your dream space, forms or shadows peripherally, etc.

• Interference with your intuitive clarity or sudden dread before speaking truth

These watchers aren’t protective of you - they are enforcers of an invisible energetic contract created to control you.

They keep you on the hook - through guilt, confusion, craving, or psychic interference. It is also a way to monitor your energy for shifts or keep tabs on you - always attempting to be one step ahead and strengthening spellwork if their grasp is slipping, etc. At the end of the day, this is a form of astral vampirism- feasting on your energy while whispering that they are helping you grow.

2. Glamour Magick & False Persona - The Illusion You Didn’t Consent To

Glamour magick is not about beauty - its about projection.

It doesn’t actually make someone more divine it simply makes you see them as such through a filter of intentionally crafted illusion. It makes you look like what someone else is desperate to see - a healer, a lover, a savior, a god.

Here’s how it works:

It reflects your deepest desires - what you truly want most (safety, love, purpose) - back to you like a mirror….creating spiritual seduction.

It energetically creates a sense of divine familiarity: “We’ve known each other for lifetimes….” “This is your soulmate, your guru, your destiny”

It loops your nervous system into dependency (fawn/freeze cycles) by giving you a hit of belonging and then threatening withdrawal if you pull away. “I can’t leave them - I owe them everything.”

You feel chosen. Safe. Seen.

“They see me. They know me. This connected must be fated.”

But in truth?

You’re falling in love with your own essence - just mirrored back to you through their mask.

3. Pacts & Ritual Coercion - The Silent Agreements That Bind

You don’t need to sign a document to be under a pact.

Pacts are formed when you unconsciously agree to believe, obey, or belong.

Even silently thinking:

“She knows more than me.”

“I’ll lose everything if I leave.”

“This is my soul contract.”

These thoughts, combined with energetic reinforcement (often ritual or astral work), bind you.

Even well-meaning group meditations, healing circles, and rituals can be manipulated to embed cords and control.

And, once you’re in…you own subconscious will keep you bound, even as your soul screams to get out.

You may not even realize what you agreed to until your life starts unraveling - or you try to walk away and feel psychically pulled back.

How You Might See This Play Out:

• Creating a “shared mission” that becomes an unspoken soul pact

• Channeling message that position them as your spiritual gatekeeper or interpreter

• Using group rituals to anchor cords - without participants fully knowing what they are agreeing to.

You likely didn’t sign a physical contract - but your energetic consent was manipulated through language like:

“We’re soul family”

“This is part of your purpose”

“I’m helping you remember”

4. Sex Magick & Energetic Seduction- The Unexpected Energy Drain

Sexual energy is sacred. It is life force itself.

But in dark hands, it becomes a weapon.

In sacred tradition, it can heal, bond, awaken, and align,

In distorted form, it can bind, seduce, confuse, and control.

Because sexual energy bypasses logic and speaks directly to the subconscious, it becomes a gateway for manipulation.

During heightened arousal or emotional vulnerability, we become:

• More open

• More suggestible

• More psychically porous

And that makes us prime for:

• Cord creation

• Energetic suggestion

• False bonding

• Soul mimicry

Here’s how it may be used in distorted form:

• Used to tether you through sacral cords; or hook through shame, desire, or unhealed longing

• Used to cast, amplify, and feed the practitioner’s glamour field so others fall under their spell and they appear more desirable, magnetic, and irresistable

• Used to loop your heart and root so that your sense of safety, desire, and love become externally controlled

• Creating psychic dependence - so your nervous system learns to seek approval from the creator

• Bind someone to a group or teacher through nervous system oxytocin/dopamine loops

• Implant beliefs or dependencies during vulnerable or altered states

• Send sensual dream energy to fabricate a soul bond or mimic a connection; creating illusionary intimacy

• Feed off arousal or confusion creating a feedback loop that tethers, disempowers, and weakens clarity

This is misuse of the sacred feminine in distorted form.

It is manipulated seduction.

It is spiritual abuse.

And no one is talking about it.

And here is the important part to understand if you are new to all of this - you do not need to have any physical contact or romantic intention for this to work.

It can all be done energetically, remotely, and very subtly - catching you off guard.

It happened to me.

I watched this play out energetically in myself and others within the group. The seduction was disguised as safety. The person leading it knew how to identify and prey upon trauma patterns - especially those involving abandonment, invisibility, and the desire for connection.

What they don’t tell you about distorted sexual energy:

• It bypasses the logic. It lowers the guard of your conscious mind and directly transmits emotion and intention to the subconscious. You can feel connected to someone harming you and confuse it for love, karma, or fate.

• It creates obsession chemistry - emotional highs followed by lows, guilt, confusion. Also mimicking trauma chemistry.

• It rewires your nervous system to equate abuse with attachment.

• It strengthens energetic bonds through dopamine, oxytocin, and psychic imprinting.

• Because many people have wounding, longing, or repression tied to sex - it becomes a highly charged, easily exploitable force.

And, for a narcissist or manipulator, this cycle of intensity and depletion is exactly what they crave and thrive off of.

Red flags you may be bound through seduction:

• You feel drained, confused, or even ashamed after interactions - even though they seem nurturing or “loving”

• You second guess yourself constantly around them

• You feel a sexual or romantic pull towards someone you don’t actually want - but you can’t stop thinking about them.

• You’ve been told they are your “twin flame” or soul teacher, but it feels twisted or one sided.

• They may use spiritual language like “divine feminine”, “tantric embodiment”, “kundalini activation” - but the energy feels off, heavy, overly intimate, or invasive.

• In women this energy can actually show up as disempowerment in your own sacral or womb space - you may question your desirability, intuition, or magick.

5. Mirror Hijacking, Energetic Mimicry - Identity Theft

This tactic creates false resonance. They don’t actually embody your energy- they mimic it just enough to appear familiar.

It’s both glamour and theft.

Here’s how it works:

• You begin to notice your words or tone “echoed” publicly by them - your insights, style, even your cadence reflected back at you.

• If you’re empathic or psychically sensitive, you may feel them trying to access your field.

• They may energetically mimic someone you trust - a person you’re bonded to, a soul connection - so they can trick your intuition into letting them in.

This is particularly dangerous because:

• It can cause confusion in your intuitive signals

• It can create emotional or psychic misfires, making you question your true connections

• It may be used to replace or discredit your spiritual allies by impersonating them in dream space, energetic work, or spiritual downloads.

In short?

It’s not real connection.

It is a hijack of your energetic signature - twisted to suit their agenda.

6. False Oracle/Divination Manipulation

This form of manipulation builds trust while undermining you.

It looks like accurate messages, spiritual guidance, or psychic insight - but its all laced with control.

They may:

• Deliver messages that feel true, but subtly push fear, guilt, or dependency

• Use their spiritual authority to implant limiting beliefs and control narratives (ie. “This pain is karmic”, “You’re not ready to leave yet” etc)

• Tap into your field without consent during readings - then reflect it back as if its divine guidance, when in fact it’s your own energy being distorted

This erodes trust in your own channel.

It trains you to look to them instead of your own inner knowing.

If your “spiritual guidance” ever becomes wrapped in fear, disempowerment, or the idea that you “can’t” do something without them - it’s not guidance. it’s manipulation.

If This Resonates

If reading any of this was disturbing to you, know you are not alone. These realizations not only shocked me, but they stirred deep grief, betrayal, rage, and brokenness.

But, once I began to understand the patterns, the spell broke.

That is exactly how black magick is dismantled:

Through clarity.

Through language.

Through seeing what was hidden.

Because unless you want to live at the mercy of someone else’s shadow, sick game, or soul agenda, you must reclaim your conscious will.

You are not here to be enslaved.

You are not here to be confused, coerced, or fed upon.

You are here to live autonomously, awake, and sovereign.

And let there be no doubt -

If you do not confront this,

you will become complicit in your own energetic imprisonment.

The longer you stay under this kind of magick:

• The deeper the cords root

• The more your own truth erodes

• The duller your intuition becomes

• The heavier your self-doubt grows

• The more your identity is distorted - & reshaped by someone' else’s shadow

Eventually, your nervous system wires itself to believe:

Real love = danger

Safety = complacency

Belonging = surrendering your power

That is not safety.

It is theft, betrayal, and lies.

And it will lead to a silent death of your soul.

The Antidote Is Not More Protection Spells - It’s Embodied Sovereignty

Protection rituals have their place - but they cannot save you from what you continue to energetically permit.

You break black magick through:

• Embodied clarity

• Naming what’s happening

• Exercising your will

• Speaking the truth

• Establishing energetic and relational boundaries

• Reconnecting to your inner compass - your intuition

You don’t need to be perfect.

You need to be present and awake.

And you need to trust yourself again.

Because your clarity will dismantle the illusion.

My Story. My Turning Point.

Everything I’ve shared, I experienced or witnessed in the group I was once a part of. These are just a few of the black magick tactics I have identified. I am sure there are likely others beyond what I’ve described here, that were at play.

And to be clear - it was covert. Cloaked.

I didn’t know this person was practicing anything dark. Had I known, I would have never studied with her.

She is highly trained in astral and energetic work. Which made this much harder to spot - and even harder to untangle.

But now? I see clearly.

What she took from me can be reclaimed.

She holds no power over me.

Because now, my eyes are wide open. My field is sealed. My truth is alive.

Compassion With Boundaries

There is a very real part of me that holds deep compassion for this person. I see the wounded inner child behind her mask. I see the walls of protection she has built from these shadows. And I sense all of the false promises of greatness, healing, and fulfillment she has been sold to persuade her along this path.

And these are the parts I can hold with love. To genuinely wish her healing.

For the love she never received and so greatly deserves.

For the truth - the inner knowing that all the power and worth she seeks outside herself is already held within her.

For the reflection in recognizing she is wildly gifted and beautiful on her own, inherent merit.

I see the desire for love, safety, and validation that are twisted into manipulation and control.

She deserves wholeness, true love, and joy in her life -and, with every bone in my body, I truly do hope that she finds them.

But this is no longer mine to carry.

For too long this has been my pattern - to over-give, over-fix, and over-help. To carry responsibility that was never mine to shoulder.

Compassion does not require sacrifice.

Empathy does not mean enabling.

I can love from afar - within the container it belongs.

Not as something I carry.

As something I witness and release.

You Can Too

If you have ever been caught in something like this, I want you to know.

You can heal.

You can reclaim what was lost.

You can walk forward more sovereign than ever before.

But, you must choose.

Because if you don’t - if you let this fester - if you let the shame win, if you let the fear sit unchallenged, or give power to the tiny part of you still holding out for the hope this wasn’t illusion, you’re not just abandoning yourself.

You are empowering the very person who has already taken too much.

Reclaim your radiance.

Reclaim your voice.

Reclaim your soul.

A new chapter is waiting ahead for you.

And you are more ready than you think.

I can’t wait to watch this unfold for you,

Seraph

When Spiritual Power Becomes Control: A Story Of Spellwork, Silencing, & Sovereignty

Sovereign Path Series - Prologue: Overview

There is nothing more whole than a heart that has been broken open by truth. - Rumi

Let’s be clear.

This isn’t just about drama or hurt feelings.

This is about spiritual manipulation - the kind that hides in plain sight behind soothing words and performative wisdom.

The kind that wears the mask of mentorship but feeds on power and dependency.

Distorted leadership and twisted teachings that prey on trauma rather than truly heal it.

I discovered something I wasn’t intended to see on the Scorpio Full Moon.

Something that at first I thought couldn’t possibly be true.

Something that once I saw, I could not unsee.

My spiritual teacher deeply, intentionally manipulating others to rob, distort, and cast illusion for a false sense of power and control.

For a long time, I didn’t want to believe what I was seeing.

Because it meant acknowledging that someone I once trusted - that I sincerely believed was a friend and had even invited to vacation and stay with my family - was actively using their power to control, confuse, hurt, and divide.

And the damage? It ran deep.

A gross misuse of power. Betrayal. Creating opposition, energetic depletion, physical ailments, and deep wounding.

And, in some cases, altering life trajectories, gift expansion, and relationships.

The Pattern: Charm, Control, Collapse

She cloaked herself in goddess-like energy, but behind the scenes, it was all strategy:

• Find your vulnerability

• Mirror your pain

• Tether onto your deepest wounds and insecurities, masquerading as the “ideal” antidote

• Offering healing in exchange for loyalty

• And if you don’t comply?

  Erase. Smear. Attack. Distort. Discredit. Deplete.

This is narcissism in spiritual clothing - using divine language to disarm, then dominate.

People called it community and initially it truly felt that way.

But in reality, it was curated hierarchy,

And when someone shined too brightly - or threatened to step out of line in any meaningful way - the web tightened.

That’s what happened to me.

I was watched.

Talked about.

Lied to and lied about.

And when I started forming deeper connections that weren’t part of her plan - that somehow threatened her power and plans to misuse our gifts to grow her community- they were cut at the root through glamour magic, emotional triangulation, energetic manipulation through reiki and spellwork, and group manipulation behind the scenes.

Spiritual Warfare Is Real - and It Doesn’t Always Look Like What You Expect

This wasn’t just emotional.

This was energetic.

This was very real spellwork with intention - the kind that distorts perception, entangles clarity, and turns people against their own intuition.

I know what it feels like to be gaslit psychically.

To have your life path invaded.

To feel your own energy being used against you.

And what’s worse?

When others see the control, but say nothing because they are either afraid they will be next, fear rejection, or don’t want to be embroiled in the “drama”.

This is the dark side of spiritual communities that no one wants to talk about:

• Where “peace” is used to silence.

• Where “light” and distortion - that is intentionally crafted to play on your own wounds and insecurities - is used to blind.

• Where gaslighting and spiritual bypassing protects the abuser and shames the truth-teller.

What It Took To Leave

When I saw the truth in full - the manipulation and underlying magic - I couldn't unsee it.

At first, I wasn't sure how to move.

The fixer in me rose up. The protector. The sacred rage. The part of me who once believed that if I just showed enough care or clarity, people would understand.

I kept asking: How could I possibly walk away from friends I cared about, when I could see they were caught in something they couldn’t yet name?

But the deeper truth was: they had to see it on their own.

They were being called to reclaim that truth in a way only their soul could lead them to.

So I made a choice - one of the hardest spiritual decisions I’ve ever made or felt equipped to fully make.

To walk away in silence.

Not out of fear, or any inkling of not wanting to get involved, but ultimately out of respect.

Respect for each of our own sovereignty, life path, and individual discoveries and lessons.

To fully trust in the outcome I was shown and to stop pouring energy into a battle of distortion that wasn’t mine to fix.

I began quietly reducing engagement. I held energetic support for the truth and for each person in the group, excluding the triad of those involved at the top.

Twelve cord cuttings.

Not in anger - but in deep spiritual reverence.

Clearing entanglements. Releasing attachments. Weakening the dark magic that lie at the undercurrents of the spellwork and psychic spying being used.

Honoring connection without rescuing.

Then I erased every trace of my presence in the group and private text with the leader. Not to disappear, but to prevent my words, memories, and shares from being twisted and used.

That’s when the real attacks began.

Daily.

Sometimes multiple times a day.

Relentless.

It was my first real exposure to spiritual warfare - and I had a steep learning curve.

At one point, I faltered. I let emotion reopen a door I’d sealed shut. And I felt the energetic blowback immediately. That was the final lesson.

And so I left. Quietly. Completely.

Not with bitterness - but with a fierce trust in divine timing.

Knowing that the truth would reveal itself in the right way, at the right time, to all who needed to see it.

But even then, the smear campaign grew louder.

The lies and twisted truths multiplied.

I don’t know every word that was spoken - and honestly, I’m grateful.

But I know enough to say this with certainty:

This was unprovoked warfare.

And its roots were power. Control. Fear.

Fear of being exposed. Fear of losing image. Fear of losing control. Ultimately, fear of losing money.

And let’s be very clear -

This isn’t about one person being manipulated.

It is about a systemic pattern of spiritual abuse.

One I’m certain began long before I arrived in the group….and may very well continue unless truly seen and recognized for what it really is.

At the core of it?

Narcissism.

Unhealed Wounding.

Jealousy.

Spiritual bypassing.

The kind where charm masks control.

Where “healing” and the level of “teaching” you allow others becomes hierarchy.

Where power feeds on praise and insecurity and hollow praise becomes currency.

It’s a toxic loop.

And when it’s cloaked in spiritual language and a false sense of security within a teacher-student relationship, it is far more dangerous.

Because it seduces the seeker - and silences the truth-teller.

What This Really Is: A Return to Power

This isn’t just my story.

It is a collective wound resurfacing: the distortion of feminine power, cloaked in control, envy, and quiet manipulation.

It echoes the sisterhood wound.

The witch wound.

Where sacred circles fracture under the weight of shadow - and the distorted narrative is propelled at all costs - even if it means there is a scapegoat so that another can preserve her illusion of power.

This isn’t personal.

It’s ancestral.

And, it’s time we name it.

But something is shifting.

Truth is rising.

The spells are breaking - not because we fought back, but because we refused to stay silent.

There is a sacred kind of rage that purifies.

There is a clarity that cuts cords.

And there is a voice that, once claimed, can never be caged again.

Mine has returned.

Maybe yours is rising too.

And that is the unexpected gift that comes after the fire.

To Those Still Healing

I’m not here to convince anyone.

I’m not here to smear, point fingers, or cast blame.

I’m here to affirm what you already know deep in your bones:

• You can trust again

• You weren’t crazy

• You were never the problem

• You became a mirror too clear for someone still hiding from their own shadow

• You weren't difficult - you we're uncontainable, and that was never part of their plan

Truth doesn’t need approval.

True healing doesn't bypass shadow.

It walks straight through the darkest parts - torch in hand.

If these words stir something within you - whether that be grief, rage, or relief - you are not alone.

Truth is not always comfortable, but it is always clarifying.

May your body be a safe place for this knowing to live and land.

And to those of you who are still unsure, who feel something is off but can’t yet name it - I honor your journey.

Awakening is often not a lightening strike, but a slow, aching thaw.

May you trust the quiet wisdom in your gut.

May you know that when you are ready, truth will not abandon you.

This is my story. It is my truth. This was the wild, unexpected, initiatory event in my own Chiron Return.

I do not speak to be believed or validated. I speak to be free and to never forget what this lesson has taught me.

Truth, once voiced, becomes a lifeline - not just for me, but for anyone waking up from illusion.

Let this post be a flame. May it burn away illusion, and light the path back home - to truth, to integrity, to sacred remembrance - for us all.

Together, we rise - not in competition, but in reclamation.

For true feminine fire is bold.

She is radiant, unwavering, and unapologetically whole.

She does not chase. She does not shrink. She does not silence truth to soothe ego.

Let the full truth surface.

Let what was hidden be seen.

And may what is seen be fully healed - at last.

More soon.

The path forward has only just begun.
