I had a great aunt-my grandmother’s sister-who was a curandera/natural healer-common in rural places. She prayed, said a rosary, burned incense etc in addition to the herbs-she taught us kids that only God can heal a person-no matter what way we use to get results, it has to come from Him. She also believed that people can make themselves open to spirit possession by accident or on purpose by opening a door to spirits.
When I was about 12, one of my cousins got a Ouija board as a present from someone. Her sister and the other 4 of us girl cousins who lived on the family ranch settled down in the kitchen of my great aunt’s house, lighted some candles and started fooling around with thing, giggling and asking questions. Our aunt came home from the herb and health food store she had in town-when she saw what we were up to, she read us the riot act in both English and Spanish to make her point-that by inviting a spirit to come and interact with us we were opening a door that evil could come into, even though we were doing it in innocence. She took the Ouija board and pointer outside to the trash burning pit and lit it on fire, praying her rosary while it burned...
I didn’t fool with one of those again until I was 23 and got talked into participating in a séance in an obviously haunted house-with bad results-never touched one again, never will...
“that only God can heal a person-no matter what way we use to get results, it has to come from Him. She also believed that people can make themselves open to spirit possession by accident or on purpose by opening a door to spirits.”
Very smart Aunt... Accurate on all counts
Only God can heal...
People can open the door to spirits...
Ouija boards are dangerous....
You were obviously somewhat protected by her prayers for you .. Many would not have had the outcome you did with the ouija board.
