Hopefully this does not get me in trouble and I apologize if this does not belong here but I have questions that were not answered elsewhere. I had hoped to find some contact information but this groups seems to be the only place to ask questions.
I was born into a Christian family but also a family of college educated parents. This combination has led to a blend of spiritualism amongst our family, from atheism to agnosticism to a more contemporary stance on Christianity. Because of this I am openly spiritual and as my post here my indicate, spiritual satanism has caught my eye. There is however and additional variable which leads me here yet also incites some reservations, which is why I have questions.
That variable is something we never speak of publicly and only rarely, refer to as the family "curse". Now I am hesitant to bring this up as most people are very critical or dismissive, but this seems like the right crowd. The "curse" is a family sensitivity to what would be considered supernatural/paranormal events. I'm not joking or trying to make fun as I am sure you probably get a lot of trolls ranting about ghosts and such, I am very serious. As you might well imagine my personal experiences and that of my family members have not exactly been pleasant so you might understand why there would be a great deal of hesitation when approaching Satanism given the talk of hauntings and possessions being integrally linked to "the devil".
On to the point, how would you explain this? Do you even prescribe to the notion or the paranormal or sensitivity to it? Is there a precedent for sensitivity being passed down a blood line? Is there a meaning to it? Does it have anything to do with Satanism or am I just fishing in the dark? Am I in danger. Fear is a strong reaction, had I not had these experiences I probably would not be so hesitant.
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond if you do. If you find this ridiculous be honest.
