Hi, I'm new here. I have a situation that I can't find a spell for. I have a short term stay guest who's energy makes me uncomfortable. Not necessarily bad, just off somehow. This person keeps extending their stay, which would be fine if it weren't for this weird energy. It and they are sapping my own energy. How can I find out if they are friend or foe?
You could try divination.
Personally, I would simply kick them out. It's your house, they're making you uncomfortable, and it's a bit rude for them to keep extending their stay. Go with your gut. If they give you weird vibes, trust that.
As far as them sapping your energy, try shielding.
Also, it seems you've posted this in two places. That could be considered spamming, so avoid it in the future.
I certainly hope I don't get dinged for spamming. I will do my best to know more about what I'm doing here in the future. I'm learning. Actually just posting this has helped significantly. I was having trouble putting my thoughts about it in order and having to put it into text helped. Shielding has been suggested by 2 people. I'm thinking that is the answer. Thank you for it.
It's fine no worries. Not an inconvience in the slightest. No need to apologize. <3
As for your situation...The practical thing to do would simply be to kick them out. I know this is hard. We all want to be the nice person who lets them stay until they get back on their feet. But there is a point where enough is enough. You are not their mother or father and even if you were they are an adult. If they are making you uncomfortable in any way, shape, or form you need to tell them. If they are being ungrateful they can change their tune or leave.
As for magickal advice yes I would say shielding is most certainly a good idea. Donald Michael Kraig is a good book which has an explanation in it as well as many other things that might interest you as well. I will link the pdf down below for you. If it does not work it means there is a space somewhere in the link. Sometimes the site automatically does that when you post links so just take out the space if it doesn't work and it will. :)
For blessing you or your house and in many protection working I would suggest white candles, witches black salt, war water, smudging/sage, moon water, holy water. There are so many ways to tackle a problem! ^^
Thank you for taking the time to really look at the problem. I've been a practicing witch for years and years, and I almost always know exactly how I feel about a person, so this has stumped me a little that I can't clearly see their objective. Yes, today is the protection and shielding. I've done both plenty of times but never in the space that this person is staying and its been a while since I took care of my shielding. I probably should have thought of that right away. Unfortunately, I won't be able to protect their space until they leave. So I may banish the negativity too. That way they'll just leave and take their energy with them if they can't smooth it out. They have always paid me in advance, so in real world terms, I have no complaints. It's just the pit of my stomach feeling that I'm dealing with at this point, so I don't feel that I can throw them out, but I can give a little push for them to find a suitable path for themselves. Again thank you.
