Clearing
Crossed Conditions

Picture

Hopelessly Stuck

Many times I have been approached by people in great despair, who told me that nothing worked in their life. Typically they went on to assure me, almost apologetically, that they had already tried so many things, tried everything they could think of to improve their situation, but to no avail. In fact -- so some said -- it had become even worse! And so finally they resigned, feeling that they were hopelessly stuck, doomed to be miserable forever. Those who found me usually asked me the question: "Am I cursed?" My answer to this is, "not necessarily, but you are suffering from a crossed condition." Which brings up the question:

What is a Crossed Condition?

One thing I can tell you right up front is that a crossed condition is certainly not something you want to experience. Being in a situation where everything goes wrong and no amount of struggle and strive brings any relief will eventually lead to fatigue, giving up and depression in all but the most resilient. It will make the sufferer of the crossed condition so desperate to end his suffering that some may choose suicide to escape from their eternal torment. If only they had known what it was that ails them and that there are simple yet effective solutions. But first things first. Let us have a look at what a crossed condition really is!

A crossed condition means you have been crossed. There is a magickal technique, a spell or sorcery if you so wish, employed by a spiteful magician to cross somebody they feel has wronged them or whom they dislike. The angered sorcerer will cross out the name of the target of the spell, which could have been you, who is now suffering from a crossed condition. When your name has been crossed out, you are said to be crossed, or in other words, you suffer from a crossed condition. So you could say that a crossed condition is a curse that has been placed upon you by another. But it is not quite that simple. Not all crossed conditions are due to black magick, sorcery and curses by a spiteful fellowman. Some crossed conditions are karmic. You may have done something in a past life that now blocks you from finding love, happiness or prosperity (in which case Mantra Yoga is the cure!). Another possible cause is negativity from within yourself, such as negative thought patterns or negative beliefs that have become so ingrained and compacted that it causes the crossed condition. Of course, a man who finds himself experiencing a bout of ordinary bad luck over a period of time, may then develop the false belief that he is "under a curse" which in turn may perpetuate the bad luck long beyond its natural lifespan. Once we are stuck in a negative vibration we attract more negativity because of the law of resonance. In some cases there could be an ancestral pattern or curse handed down from our ancestors that causes the crossed condition. But whatever the cause of the crossed condition, the symptoms and effects are always the same: perpetual bad luck and misfortune, way beyond what chance and coincidence could possible bring.

Signs and Symptoms of Being Crossed

A crossed condition manifests all kinds of ill fortune. This may affect only one or several areas of your life simultaneously. If love has been crossed, for instance, you will find all your love relationships going wrong in spite of your best efforts. Your partners may leave you, cheat you or worse, sicken and die. If your health has been crossed you will experience one illness after another and also accidents that lead to health impairments. You may just be recovering from one illness when you slip and break your arm. And once you recover from that you have another accident or get another mysterious illness that your doctor cannot diagnose or explain. If your money and success have been crossed you may be unable to find a job, be constantly underpaid, get skipped at a promotion time, have troubles with colleagues without end, etc. You will usually live in borderline poverty having barely enough to support yourself. Your crossed condition can be combination of a crossed health and a crossed money condition, or love and health are crossed or in the worst case scenario, all the three sectors.

Less frequent but also possible is to have your spirituality crossed. In this case whatever you do to spiritually grow will backfire. Spiritual teachers or gurus may be deceptive and lead you astray. Your Yoga or meditation practice gets interrupted by sickness of a loved one who needs constant care, and all kind of obstacles prevent you from becoming empowered, enlightened and growing spiritually.

Of course some these troubles could also have other causes, such as poor choice of partners / jobs / spiritual teachers, karmic reasons, or poor communication skills, bad nutrition, unhealthy habits such as smoking or drinking, lack of focus, negative thought patterns, poor people skills etc. So do not be too hasty to automatically assume all your troubles are due to a crossed condition. It is necessary to ruthlessly and in brutal honesty assess yourself and your behaviour to check whether you have a part in your misfortune. Never allow your ego to lead you astray and into shirking responsibility for your own shortcomings! Seek the fault first with yourself, if none can be found there, then consider whether you may have been crossed. Because, frankly, a crossed condition is not something you would wish on anybody, not even your worst enemy. So assess very carefully whether you are holding any negative patterns or beliefs that may cause your problems and bad luck. Please read my article Overcoming Obstacles to Healing to pinpoint and overcome your inner enemies. Having ruled out the most common explanations for misfortune and still having had no luck in making things better, then you are most likely dealing with a crossed condition.

The hallmarks of a crossed condition are:
- persistent bad luck in one or several areas of your life.
- repetitive trauma, accidents and victimisation
- the bad luck is so severe that it is almost unbelievable how many negative things can happen to one person alone.
- the negative occurrences in your life are almost too bizarre, unlikely and far fetched to sound true.
- all attempts to better your lot fail.
- when there is a slight improvement, soon after a major negative event happens, making things worse than ever.
- a distinct feeling of being under a curse or having been jinxed.

The last point is especially valid. When suffering from a crossed condition you will usually feel that you are under a curse - whether you previously believed in curses before or not. You will also feel that everything is hopeless. And that belief is justified, after all your best efforts over long periods of time have gone in vain or made things even worse. Eventually you may succumb to apathy, isolation and bitterness as the fatigue of the warrior overcomes you. Nobody can struggle forever. It is sad that people in such dire straits often get abandoned by their friends and loved ones as well. Partially that may be because others feel the aura of negativity of the crossed man or woman and try to withdraw from it, or sometimes it is the sheer despair and neediness of the afflicted and the feeling of helplessness of their friends that causes them to leave. The end result is that sufferers of crossed conditions also have to suffer social isolation and loneliness making their already difficult circumstances even harder. Consequently many eventually succumb to apathy and depression.

How to End a Crossed Condition

In essence, the crossed man or woman needs to become uncrossed. Easier said than done, you may say. And you are right. It is not easy but it can be done. The first step to getting over a crossed condition is to recognise it for what it is. A crossed condition is in essence a curse. Whether placed upon you by a spiteful peer, handed down through your ancestral line, acquired through your own karma, or created by your own belief systems and negative thought patterns, the end result is always the same: nothing works! Having to deal with a curse may be very daunting to you but when you understand it from a higher perspective things look a lot brighter. Remember that everything is energy. A curse is nothing but an energy imprint that sticks to you and draws negativity to you. This imprint can be removed quite easily with the correct counter-energy. Yes, energy. You see, all your efforts to change things so far probably were on the material plane, and hence they brought no relief, because the problem is an energy problem, a spiritual problem. Therefore it can only be solved by spiritual means and energetic means, such as by magick or Mantra Yoga. I too tried various things with no success until I finally had the breakthrough. So let me tell you my story and how I discovered a safe and effective means to uncross myself that has helped not only me but many others as well.

When I was crossed...
Some years ago I suffered from a severe crossed condition which lasted for several years. It was brought on after coming in contact with a vampire shaman but I am sure there were other factors involved in it as well. I tried everything to help myself both in the outer world and the inner worlds, and nothing worked. So I know what I am speaking of, I have been there, done it - and thanks, I don't want to ever experience it again! It was hell on earth! During that time anything that could go wrong, would go wrong. I experienced sickness, accidents, the death of several of my cats, perpetual poverty, inexplicable physical pain 24/7, harassment, mysterious car troubles, mishaps galore and finally the abandonment of most of my friends and even my family.

As a magical being it didn't take me long to figure out I was under a curse. And so I worked for a while with various spells to repel negativity, undo curses, create prosperity, etc. I felt those helped to make things slightly better, stem the tide of evil somewhat, but I could get no breakthrough into a state of normalcy. At that point I didn't even dare to hope for happiness any more, all I wanted was an end to the pain and to have some peace in my life. But it eluded me for a long time. I worked very intensely on my spirituality during that time. And frankly, had I not had such firm spiritual roots and the protection of the Gods, I am sure I would have perished during that time.

Everything is Jinxed

One funny episode to demonstrate the futility of all efforts, I would like to share here.

I decided to do a powerful candle magick spell to clear myself from negativity involving a so called 7 knob candle. As I could not find what I needed locally I ordered a black 7 knob candle from a Pagan supplier. I waited for two weeks, nothing came in the mail. When I called the supplier he told me he had sent it out but it had been returned to him as undeliverable. I asked him to resend it which he did. When I wanted to begin the spell and dress the candle, removing its cellophane wrapping, I saw the candle was broken through completely. It was a very narrow crack, almost invisible just held together by the plastic foil. But a broken candle is useless in magick. So I called the supplier again. To play safe I ordered two more of these candles. He replaced the broken one and sent the additional two also. When the candles arrived, everything seemed good at first. I unwrapped the first one, and it looked to be intact. So I applied the correct banishing oils to my hands to anoint the candle with and as I anointed it, the candle broke! Even though I had not used much pressure at all!

Frustrated but undaunted, I thought, 'I still have two more!' I took the next candle out of the wrapper, it seemed fine. I anointed it, and to my great relief it did not break. When I finished anointing it I saw to my dismay that my hands were completely black from candle dye! I went to wash them and it took me 15 minutes to get the sticky tarmac like substance off my hands, with the help of harsh soaps, rough brushes and liters of water! I have anointed countless candles, including black ones and NEVER had I seen something like this! Nevertheless, I thought I was going to finally get this done, against all odds. So I inscribed and charged my candle and set it up on my altar and began the ritual. I lit it up and the flame almost went out after lighting. 'A bad omen, but at least it is still burning,' I thought. The candle began to sputter and crackle and made the most horrible sounds. It was so noisy my cats reacted to it and looked around disturbed!

For those not familiar with candle magick, with a knob candle you burn one knob per day over a period of 7 days. This is a very effective form of candle magick. Black is very absorbent and therefore the best colour for absorbing and banishing serious negativity, which I clearly was dealing with. Burning one knob down should take about 2 hours, maybe 3 if the flame is really small. It took about 12 hours to burn that one knob down and I had to stay around to make sure I extinguished the candle at the right time, which was tedious. The next day I repeated the procedure, again the flame almost went out, then sputtered and crackled and made awful sounds. Again it took forever to burn down the knob. On the third day it was the same but when I left the room for an hour the candle suddenly burned much faster and consumed part of the fourth knob. I hoped it would still work. On the fourth day the candle burnt as always: slow and sputtering but steadily. When I went out of the room for a while, the candle went out even though there had been no draft whatsoever in the room and the candle had stood in a sheltered place! This clearly meant the spell was not successful, the negativity too strong. I was greatly disappointed and discouraged but after all this prolonged suffering I had become used to having a plan B, C, D, for everything I do. So I dressed and inscribed the last of my three candles. It too stuck to my hands and it burned just as badly as the previous one, eventually going out at day 4 or 5. Defeated I gave up for now, rethinking what else I could do to help myself. Outside help I had sought but it brought no relief and by then I understood the bitter truth: either I had find a way to help myself or I would perish.

Uncrossing Bath Salts to the Rescue!

Eventually the answer came to me and I got inspired to try something completely new. I was going to make myself magickal bath salts to uncross myself! I didn't have much hope at first, but I was enthusiastic and willing to try everything. Besides I was already proficient and experienced in the preparation of magickal bath salts. So I asked the Gods to give me a special recipe to clear myself plus full instructions --and they delivered! Immediately I set out to get all the required ingredients, which were quite a few and included some unusual herbs which I did not have on stock. Once I had everything together I began the preparation and the empowerment process of my magickal uncrossing bath salts. I was going to be the guinea pig, of course. I waited for the right moon phase and began the process at the correct astrological hour also, just to play safe. Weird things happened when I was in the bath at night. I felt entities and things coming out of me. At times those put up a struggle and shook my body or made weird sounds while I was in the bath. During the day all was peaceful and I soon started to feel better and clearer. Because the negativity I was dealing with was so incredibly powerful, I also did magick each night using rituals of banishing negativity and of uncrossing. On the third day in the circle something miraculous happened. I felt an opening of my consciousness, a complete expansion and a feeling of great peace, beauty and bliss descended upon me. And I knew without the shadow of a doubt that I would overcome this evil and that there would be better times ahead, times of peace, beauty and power. This ecstatic feeling was the first precursor to my self-realisation experience which was to happen months later, in January 2008.

In the following days friends of mine commented how much more positive I was. And I was indeed very optimistic, cheerful and in good spirits. But negativity was not yet defeated and still had one major trump to play... A few days later I had a minor but extremely painful accident, and it revolved around my spirituality. I ended up not completing my 13 days of baths as I was shell-shocked, in agony and in a crisis of faith. And so my first attempt of clearing myself with uncrossing bath salts had failed. In retrospective I now understand that was the last desperate attempt of the dark forces to gain the upper hand. They never give up without a fight. I should have anticipated it but I was too naive then. And I should have completed my 13 days of bath rituals anyway, never mind pain, injury or whatever. But I was not strong enough then and consequently fell into despair. It took me months to pick myself up again, and when I did I assessed what had happened. The bath salts had indeed been powerful and effective, hence the beautiful experience of freedom and peace in the circle and for days after. But I did not have enough protection to keep me safe against such powerful evil then. So I asked the Gods for a powerful protection recipe and was given instructions for making a protective uncrossing oil to go with the bath salts. These I used to anoint my chakras with after each bath or whenever I felt the need. I applied uncrossing oil at least twice a day without fail.

And see there, this time there were no ill effects to my uncrossing bath ritual! And soon after I completed the full 13 days, I noticed a slight improvement in my circumstances. For a change I had sufficient money to buy food, though it was still very tight. And soon after other positive events set in. Because I was a particularly serious case I needed 3 or 4 rounds of uncrossing bath rituals to clear myself completely; for a typical crossed condition one round will suffice, in rare cases two rounds. Eventually I was able to get rid of my negative circumstances and start a different life -- one which deeply fulfills me, even though it is by no means easy, and never will be.

It is in the nature of my work to clear people of negativity, to remove their entities and cut them free from the matrix of deception. And that makes me the enemy of the dark forces that wish to keep the planet enslaved and in spiritual bondage. They do not like those who serve the light nor those who set others free. And so I must always keep up cleansing and protection rituals. In spite of this I can truthfully say that the evil spell of being crossed has been broken once and for all! And good riddance to it! So if your path is blocked too, if you feel like running against walls and if nothing you tried has worked so far, the uncrossing bath salts may be the answer to end your spell of ill luck too!
May you be blessed with peace within and without
and with a life of joy!
