My home (the community) is built on top of a landfill. Prior to that it was a farmer's cattle yard. I am not sure of what was where years ago (slaughter house, main house, etc.). When photographs are taken by certain people you can see orbs, demonic figures in the background, and other strange things. In certain homes the owners will abandon their home never to return. Some people think the homes are haunted, or something is wrong structurally. In my neighborhood on one side of the street every home is filled with children, and none on the opposite side.
When my home was being built, I did certain things that the construction workers thought was odd, but I didn't. For example, I had it blessed, I use Holy Water all the time all over the yard, garden, and inside and outside. I buried a St. Joseph sideways because of my strong dislike of one neighbor who was abusing her children. She was caught by the law, and her children are now safe. Every year I write the House Blessing over my front door during Ephanie (sp??). It is amazing to me to see how evil passes over my home, and continues on down the line of homes. That is why I always tell people I don't wish evil on anyone but I also don't wish them well. I believe in Karma. I would rather be on the side of Karma than not.
I also believe in rituals. No matter one's faith, it all boils down to simple things. There is a saying by Og Mandino that I often use "Do All Things With Love." That is my motto in life and for living.
