Читать книгу Soul Rescuers: A 21st century guide to the spirit world - Natalia O’Sullivan - Страница 7

A soul rescuer is known as a psychic, healer, shaman, priest, mystic, visionary, pagan, Spiritualist, channel and exorcist. This is a person who is able to walk between the world of the physical and the dimensions of the spirit. As a ‘walker between worlds’ they must be initiated into the techniques and rituals used in the physical world to rescue trapped spirits, heal the sick and mend the wounds of the soul.

This gift may require a person to help the dying, to bury the dead and pray for the release of the soul into the otherworld. Some soul rescuers rescue the spirits of the dead who are wandering ghosts or earthbound entities; these are not usually evil, but trapped or lost.

Some soul rescuers – the shamans, priests and mystics – seek to cure the sickness in a person’s soul. This is exorcism in the traditional Christian sense: they deliver evil from a place or person. They communicate with the spirits and understand the rules of co-existence with the otherworld. They have learnt to walk the dangerous path of death and rebirth, surviving initiations involving all kinds of natural and supernatural phenomena while remaining faithful to their beliefs. We ourselves have followed this path.
