You don't need to practice magic in order to psychically attack someone. Most people who psychically attack others don't even realize they're doing it. I don't believe she cast a spell on us, or that we've been cursed. A psychic attack is performed when someone feels a lot of negative emotions towards specific people. They hate them, hope something bad happens to them, blah blah. This doesn't always effect the person they're thinking about. But my boyfriend and I are a bit vulnerable at the moment, and we're seeking to correct it.
He and I are both empaths and sensitive to others emotions. I have practiced magick in the past, but since I live with who I work for, I can't do a whole lot here (my boss gets angry if she smells incense or finds out I've been burning candles). He has never practiced, and I don't think he wants to get too into it (which is fine), but he does want to know more about protecting himself against others emotions since he's an empath.
You are correct one does not need to practice magick to cause a psychic attack. I was trying to determine the level at which she was working from. A magic user casting such an attack works at a different level than the average person.
I would suggest that you do a banishing, cleansing and warding of you and your boyfriend. See if this makes an impact on the situation.
Ah, I see. Yes, I'm certain she doesn't practice at all, because she got very angry with my boyfriend when he tried to talk to her about being an empath. She not only said she did't believe in that stuff, she said, "there's nothing wrong with you." She doesn't even realize that being an empath is a gift.
I didn't even think of a banishing, thank you! I'll look into it :)
Two things that are very important for any magical practitioner to learn are how to do personal shields and how to do wards of your personal space.
One of the first things many magic users will do is to create wards to prevent negative entities or energies from entering their home. After all, you want your home to be safe, psychically speaking. So it is a good idea to understand how to build effective wards and some of the various methods of achieving effective wards. Here are some sites with good information on this important topic:
The other thing to learn about is how to do a personal shield. Think of a shield as being a bubble of energy that surrounds you and keeps negative energies from reaching you. Here's some good sites:
Lark covered it very well, and I haven't checked the links provided, but I wanted to add that when you do the shielding it would be prudent to not make it so that the shield cuts off your energy entirely; as that can be draining. Instead of thinking of it as a large shield, think of it as a filter. It still allows the flow of energy, while keeping what is harmful out. It is the difference between a bandage and a tourinqet, more or less.
Good luck in this, by the way. I hope all goes well.
Why do you think that your bf's ex is really attaking you?
Do you have any real evidence?
From long practise I can say that 90% of such cases have nothing to do with any magical activity, rather are pure psychology i.e. its most likely in your own heads unless you have serios facts that point otherwise.
I think Lark's advice is really good for your situation.
That being said, you could also make a Witch's Bottle for protection/binding against the ex-girlfriend.
Additionally, some helpful herbs for your situation are Cayenne Pepper, Black Pepper and Salt. You could make little pouches to carry these herbs around with you both for extra protection, or add these to the Witch's Bottle if you choose to do that.
Apprentice..., by which means should I get you your "solid evidence"? How do you prove a psychic attack? There's no way to prove such a thing, and you know that. You're trying to belittle me, and I don't appreciate that. I have already defended my claims and I will do so no more. If you don't have the guidance or advice I was seeking, or even support of any kind, I'm asking you nicely to keep your opinions to yourself. And I'll have you know I went to college for psychology, courses 101, Lifetime, Child, and Abnormal. I am a CNA, and have worked with patients with mental disabilities, and am trained to spot when something is wrong mentally, as well as physically. I am not a paranoid person. I look for logical reasonings to absolutely everything, and when I can't find it, I ask for advice. And that's what I'm doing now. I don't care for those that appear in a thread just to be dismissive to others. It isn't kind or positive, it's negative and downright rude.
If you're entirely certain that she's doing this on accident then basic shielding should be enough, be sure to connect the shield to an energy source that isn't you however so as to make sure that you don't expend too much energy on it.
Other than that this is basically just the evil eye through the internet instead of face to face eye contact so basically anything that removes the evil eye could be used to repel this, maybe you would need to change the wording.
I can also PM you something that would stop her from attacking again if you're afraid of that.
