[Aniyu]

Now i have a coven of witches i associate with. We are all powerful in our own way, we are also a pack.

We have a friend of ours who moved into his grandparents house about 2 years ago. We know for a fact that this boys uncle played in the demon arts. Nate(the troubled youth) found a skull in the attic and picked it up once. This is also a few months before i told him there was demon marks in said attic.

Over the past two years he is starting to come out of puberty and is slowly losing his mind, we thought it was because he is a median and will not accept his gift for what it is. (i have heard of people losing it because they didn't understand). The coven and i have tried to talk to him and help him accept it but he will not, he wants nothing to do with what we have to say. I approached a good friend of mine who has sight. Its generalized and i cannot come up with a better word for it. Sorry, anyway, he said that he saw a dark shadowy flame behind nate that was scaring him and slowly torturing him. I later found out it was a demon shade. I have never come across a malevolent one before and i am kind of confused with it.

My friend who told me what it looked like also said that a brass key charged with healing or banishing would help him for a short term, but a native american shaman ritual and a serious healing ritual would get rid of the creature.
So far i am the only one who could do such a thing because i have some demon experience as well as a powerful healing ability but i am not a shaman.
Please tell me if you have a better idea or something that could help nate. He has a very limited time left before he completely loses it. Everyone seems to know that.

What does the boy think is going on Aniyu? Does he think theres something supernatural bothering him or does he just feal like hes losing it? A basic sage cleansing should put a damper on things for long enough to figure out what is going on. If you nead to talk to a medicine man, I would suggest figuring out where the nearest reservation is to you. You may have to go there in person. Ask around. When they find that you are sencerly in nead of help, they will help.  Dont take a camera and start recording things though or you probably will be turned away.

Lg has a point though, its always good to have a head examination, if only to rule out mental problems. Its easier to get help that way too. Noone wants to take the chance on making someone who may be ill any worse.

The boy won't talk to us about anything. We have tried to ask him what his problem is, but he shuts down very quickly and refuses to talk and accept anything.
We have mentioned getting him in and getting his head examined but so far that has proved fruitless.
His friends and family even his twin brother knows something is wrong but he will not speak of it. To no one.

If he is under the age of 18 his parents can take him in for a psych exam without his permission. Twins are closer than normal so more than likely the twin has at least SOME idea of what is going on & out of loyalty is not sharing. Regardless, he needs to be examined. Visions this dark are a warning sign whether of something pyschological or something supernatural.

One thing you must understand, as much as I hate to say it.  In any supernatural case, it is nearly imposible to help someone who refuses help. Guess the same could be said for many other types of problems as well.

LOL Possession. Sorry. The funny fact about this is that it sounds like Insidious in the description but without the coma state or the red face.

Anyway!~

Like Ravinclaw said, if help isn't wanted, then it can't be helped. The most you can do is talk to him and try to get him to listen. Once, a Christan friend of mine was being messed with by a dark spirit and it took me only saying 'God is with you and will not let harm come to you. Just believe in his protection and imagine it as a warm blanket, wrapped around you' for her spiritual defenses to go up. It started to leave her alone and after a ritual I did on my own and beyond her knowledge, things were all ok.

From one median to another, most of anti-possession is purely determination. 'This will not get me cause I say it will not' and believing it, and you are generally in the clear. If you let it scare you, it scares you.

Perhaps the approach you should take is the psychological one and do some tests. See if he will consent through persuasion.

Him: There is nothing wrong with me!
You: then prove it to me, and take the tests!
Him: I don't have to!
You: is it cause you are scared that there will be something wrong?
Him: (whatever)

Take an approach such as that and if he is under the age of 18, drag him along via parents as previously stated. If all else fails, get the name of the shade, and make a puppet with arms and legs and a head of fabric; fill it with herbs for binding or whatever you wish, then wrap it with black ribbon, rope, shoelace, or whatever and as you wrap it, say 'I bind you (name) to this puppet, along with your power to prevent you from doing harm.' over and over and over. Have your covenant help (as mine did with this same ritual) and then put it in a box with seals on it to be dealt with later. If problems continued, means it's mental and you have wasted your time in worrying about the spiritual sense.

*shrug* Back to other thing I suppose.
