I have recently been reading some books about psychic defense, but none of them really describe how people psychically attack others, except that it's either intentional orunintentional (people's sheer emotion directed at someone without realizing the harm) Are psychic attacks done intentionally just acts of black magick (curses, etc.) or something else?

IM7,

Did you mean to post this here in Witchcraft? It would probably get more relevant attention in Off Topic Occult or Astral, Trance and Psionics.

Let me know.

Why wouldn't it be? Isn't witchcraft ABOUT magic, astral and psionics? Most witches tend to be into the whole psychic battle thing. Psychic attacks can happen unintentionally, but they can also happen intentionally. You go up to someone on the street, you project a powerful emotion that'll make them feel weak. Ta-da! First psychic 'punch'. That way you can have an on-the-spot battle. And with the Glamour, make it all the more worth watching. Psychic vampires drain their victims, their victims create shields which summon powerful protectors which can scream hell in the ears of the vampire and reduce them to insanity... Just a few ideas. Then you can program psiballs to give off a variety of sensations. (Like my infamous 'Chill Ball Spell'... as my friends would know). And then there's the good old-fashioned telepathic swipes.

Don't be a dick...we have the other forums here for a reason and that is why I asked.

Hi Mmothra, I didn't really think about it when I posted it, just because I usually spend most of my time in the Witchcraft forum. I guess wherever would be the most appropriate place for it to be though.

Not a biggie...I just wanted to be sure it got the attention you wanted.

Below are some links to other threads on this general topic. There may be useful information for you in them:

under pychic attack
psychic vampirism
succubus questions
pranic vampires anonymous

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

Honestly, I agree with Mmothra. No offense, IM7, I just believe you would get more (any maybe some with a different twist as they may not even practice Witchcraft of any type) answers in Astral than here so I'm moving it.

The answer is all of the above. I am aware and can perform several psychic attacks that would be considered harmful and are supossed to kill in the long term i.e Etheric Daggers, Burning holes in the Aruic shield, parasite servitors and the worst really is Oppresive servitors which can drive people mad or to suicide, and old fashioned curses... There are more but I dont know them all, and there are too many to list of the ones I do know.
In her book psychic self defense, Dion Fortune goes on to describe several different types of psychic attacks. I suggest reading it if you really want to know about psychic attacks/ defense and the long term effects of such things.

Energy follows will and intention, thus is the mechanism of psychic attacks made clear.

rotfmao. (ok I'm sleep deprived and have sobered up, just seemed really funny hearing you say "don't be a dick" )

Well there are plenty forms of attacks. It really depends on what you plan on targeting and what effects you wish to impose upon your target.

Are you going for pain? Physical Illness? Injury? Some form of effecting their mind?

The mind could be the most dangerous of targets... if you're good you can reprogram their subconscious to basically attack their own body until their immune system kills themselves. You could also erase parts of a person's memory or simple cripple them.

Pain, two main ways. Attacking the mind with the idea of pain, or directly causing painful effects.

Physical Illness. Generally the easiest way would be to go for the energy route. Aim for the right chakra and pump it full of an opposing energy... or program some energy to act as a poison eroding away at their spirit and then their mind and body.

Injury... Well there's telekenetic attacks... Could pull at the nitrogen in one's bloodstream pulling it into their joint til they basically have the bends in a single joint. Could rupture blood cells throughout their body as well. Heh or compress their heart... or an artery.


Also there are numerous ways to attack. Energy is not even nessecary. You can simply bypass it going straight for the very soul of your enemy, striking with pure force of will against them. There are very VERY few defenses that can work against this, especially if done by one with any skill.


Just use what works for the situation, and nothing less than what would bring forth victory.

I agree with others on this thread. There are many ways one can attack. Its like using a sword as apose to an axe or bow & arrow- even a pen could metapohorically be a weapon. What It boils down to is intentions. If you have reason to attack somebody pick your weapon, it should be something relative to your intentions- train with that weapon like any good warrior and there you have the formula to make a psychic weapon.

However never neglect that the difference between a warrior and a thug is a code of honor. Make your weapons and master them as you will but realize using them carries responsibility. Something few actually have. And why I think most books are about defense and not attack. The authors would rather not risk giving that information to irresponible people.

Really all you must do is reverse those teachings. Rather than build up with intent- as in creating a shield. Extend with your intent. As in using a "kai", like a karate intent, coupled with a well trained psychic hand strike. Master that and you'll not only be able to defend yourself but seek retribution- a risky area. But I hope you can learn when its appropriate to attack as apose to defend. Consider this- the best defense is a good offense.

Psychic attacks are attacks on a person by another. They can manifest in many ways both physical and emotional.

Look up http://www.i-sis.org.uk/water4.php

This I believe answers why we can be affected by the thoughts of others. We are made up of 70% water I believe? Makes sense eh? Let me know what you think ;-)

Nice link Slipstream. Seems to me that water is the connecting gaia factor. Although I hate the article in itself

Get Fortune's Psychic Self-Defense. That should explain things, or at least give you something to think about.

Original post: aetherial

The Dion Fortune book is excellent as it recommends dealing with the mundane 'real' world causes of many so- called psychic attacks FIRST. Like illness etc. (Deal on Malkuth) then look for the emotional causes (deal on Yesod) then look at astral/magical/psychic causes. (Tipphareth or higher up the tree) She also explains some good magical hygiene that should prevent any such attacks-and explains about psychic hysterics who attribute EVERY little bad to magic.

I've been a witch for about 20 years. I've only encountered the affective use of a negative magic against another person who is unaware of the magic/spell being cast against them twice... In both cases the abuser/bully (sic) had access to the physical body and or possessions of the abused/target and had been doing negative magic for decades. (BTW the Lords of Air and the Lords of Karma and the Archangels were called in to help the targets. "Karma" or justice was done. Score: abuser/bully-jailed or rendered impotent. Abused -OK)

It is relatively easy to hex/hurt someone if they know and believe in what is being done to them. (Like pointing the bone or curses) People who practice psychic or magical work are more vulnerable than those who don't, for many reasons. But if you think how much effort it takes to concentrate on (using your Will) when helping/healing someone on a psychic/magical level then it stands to reason it's gonna take that or more to hurt them
hope this helps
blessed be
