Feeling attacked psychically

The submitted question covered in this blog:

"What does it mean if your pregnant and a spirt or demon tries to engage sexual intercourse with you"

Thank you submitting this question and being upfront about sharing such a personal experience!

The interpretation of this can be complicated, drawing from both your personal spiritual beliefs and other broader personal contexts.

Pregnancy is known to sometimes make witches feel more energetically open or sensitive to various energies. You are likely more attuned to some subtle energies and may be drawing them to you

Is it possible that you are perceiving a strong or invasive energetic presence and your mind is interpreting it in a sexual context? ...especially if you are feeling vulnerable or stressed.

In some spiritual practices involving shadow work manifestations, disturbing or uncomfortable experiences can be manifestations of your own subconscious "shadow" aspects that need to be acknowledged and integrated.

As a Humanist Wiccan, I wonder if your pregnancy might be bringing something subconscious to the surface, perhaps? Does the experience hold any symbolic meaning for you or within your spiritual journey? Consider what intercourse, intimacy, power, and vulnerability within this context represents to you personally. The spirit or demon might actually be a symbolic representation of an internal conflict or an external force you can subtly feel is trying to control or making you feel violated. Some witchcraft traditions may view your growing power as a pregnant witch a source of attraction for certain entities, both benevolent and malevolent. In that case, this could be a negative entity reacting to your increasing energy.

Regardless, the experience signifies a violation of your energetic and personal boundaries. My advice is to reclaim and strengthen your boundaries as a crucial next step.

Depending on your cultural background, there might be existing folklore about spirits and pregnancy that you may find helpful. If you feel psychically attacked, you should immediately reinforce your spiritual protections. This could involve casting protective circles or shields, or calling upon your deities, guides, or guardians for protection, using protective sigils, crystals, or herbs, performing cleansing rituals for yourself and your space.

Try to discern the nature of the experience. Does the spirit feel malicious, opportunistic, or something else? Trust your intuition and maybe trying a divination practice that you use might be helpful.

Your protective instincts for your unborn child are likely strong. Incorporate protections for your baby into your spiritual workings. Energetically and intentionally set firm boundaries. Clearly communicate (mentally or verbally) that such interactions are unwelcome and will not be tolerated. If you feel the entity is negative or attached, perform thorough cleansing and banishing rituals for yourself, your home, and in your aura.

If you are part of a coven or have trusted fellow witches, reach out for support, guidance, and potentially collaborative workings.

While approaching it from a spiritual perspective, don't entirely dismiss the possibility of vivid dreams or psychological factors. Hormonal changes and stress during pregnancy can lead to vivid and disturbing dreams that feel very real. Anxiety and fear related to pregnancy or other factors can manifest in unusual experiences.

I can imagine that experiencing something like what you've described may be deeply unsettling. Trust your instincts, prioritize your well-being and the well-being of your baby, and don't hesitate to seek support from both spiritual and mundane sources. If the experience is causing significant distress, seeking support from a therapist or counselor who is open to magick or understanding of spiritual experiences could be beneficial.

Explore any underlying fears, vulnerabilities, or unresolved issues that might be contributing to these experiences. Regularly ground your energy and center yourself to maintain stability and connection to the earth.

It is in hope that this is helpful. Please don't hesitate to reach out again if you have any questions or further concerns. Of course, if you have other questions about witchcraft related topics, can also be submitted at www.askagreywitch.com
