Several years ago I read a disturbing
report about a haunted house in Long Island where the owner believes an evil presence was banished from the home during a pagan ritual and say the home is now being "haunted" by her dead husband.

"I am a 41 y.o. cradle Catholic. I recently saw a book my godmother is reading, about a medium who is from the westside of Cleveland who claims to help people who have died and haven't gone over to the other side. My godmother is convinced that her mother had a ghost in her apartment before she died, and that this woman helped it "go towards the light," She also said her sister had this woman come out to her house, to help some other guy who hadn't crossed over. When I told her that I would've called a priest if I thought there was spiritual activity in my home, she claimed that this woman doesn't communicate with evil spirits - just poor souls who got confused or had reasons that they couldn't go over to the other side. Yikes! Obviously my godmother is/was Catholic - she's my godmother. However, she's drifting into spiritualism. She even said that her sister put some seed over every doorway, to keep any more spirits from entering. Can you give me some resources that I can use when talking to my godmother?"

I have a question regarding REIKI, I have a Catholic friend who thinks it is just wonderful and pratices it on his music students. Could you please give me some information about this new age practice."
