What I learned from the Oak Deva

One day a woman came to me on behalf of her home-bound friend who was very ill with Lupus. Marilyn needed a clearing done in her home. I went to her apartment and listened to her needs. Apparently, one of her neighbors who had been an alcoholic died a few days ago. His spirit was still around. He and other raucous spirits kept coming to her house and making all sorts of noise at night. This woman was so ill, she was literally between worlds herself, making her extremely sensitive.
I began going from room to room, first with smudge in preparation for the more formal clearing ceremony. In the first bedroom, I could feel a very powerful energy. It seemed to be coming from outside the window, but all I saw was a tree trunk. As I came back to do the formal clearing, the energy from outside came in even stronger. When I tried to create the counter-clockwise banishing vortex, this energy literally spun it the other way. I was so confused.
I had done many very successful clearings. Something really different was going on. By the time we got to the kitchen, Marilyn told me something was pinching her arm really hard. Well, I admitted, something was pinching my arm really hard, too. We looked at each other and I said aloud:
“I really think there are some energies present that belong here, and we should not try to send them away.” The pinching stopped.
“Oh, no!” Marilyn cried, “that man’s spirit just jumped inside me! Wow, I can hear him. He is so scared. Oh, I feel so sorry for him,” she said.
“Well, he can’t stay inside of you. Hmm, let’s try to talking to him.” I suggested.
Through her, we got the man’s story. He thought when you die, you just rot in the cold ground. That was just too horrible and he was not going to do it.
We called in Arch-Angels Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Samael for assistance. Together, we talked him back to an age where he could trust. For him, that was around 6 years old. Michael and Uriel presented themselves as the most beautiful and gentle female angels. They each took one of his little hands and he walked away with them, smiling and at peace. Marilyn and I cried a lot for a while. What a beautiful experience. It was as wonderful and touching as witnessing a birth.
On the way home, going back over the events of the evening I asked, “What was that strong energy that pinched us. What was that energy that actually belonged there?” I got quite clearly that it was an Oak Deva! Oh my gosh! I had never met an Oak Deva. I had never given it one thought.
That Oak Deva was amazing. That whole area was her territory. She had been watching over the people there for many years - certainly LONGER than I had been around. She really cared about all of them and she was not about to let any harm come to them, whether they were in a body or not.
Boy, was I set straight. After so many years of encountering mean spirits, I was now made aware that there are spirits who are simply scared and don’t know where to go. There is no need to use a big guns ritual on them. They need compassion and gentle guidance.
I never pass a tree without honoring and acknowledging the Deva. They are amazing, wise, wonderful beings.
