[quote=“Enlightener_Illuminator, post:1, topic:5364”]I mean… What’s point of calling upon a spirit (in this case, Charlie from Mexico), and freaking out, running out of the room as soon as they appear?
Here’s the video:

This morning a friend(kinda friend) was bored in class,and asked us about the Charlie Charlie challenge.Obviously,I was oblivious,but he explained that he was making a piece of paper,and had a pencil,to point in one direction or the other.
When we asked him why that game was even the least bit fun,his answer was:‘‘Because you’re summoning a demon,and it’s spooky!’’
Now,admittedly,this is where I fell silent.No one in my real life has any knowledge of my esoteric life,and I intend to keep it that way.I like the secrecy,I love the shadows,and I love my magic.It’s one of the most precious things in my life.
Anyways,I was wondering about that,and it seems Charlie is as useless as a pendulum.His method is ideometer based(I believe) meaning it can be tainted,and answers only YES and NO questions.Life is far more complicated than that,and a pendulum can answer you that.
So,Charlie is even more useless than a Ouija Board Spirit.
And when we have that in mind,we can consider who Charlie is.Now,it’s more than obvious Charlie is not a deceased shade,nor a demonic entity,but a wandering spirit,like the ones summoned via Ouija Boards
.In fact,I can almost guarantee you that you can summon Charlie himself through a Ouija Board,even a jury-rigged one.And obviously the only real way to prove Charlie is to stand in a circle of power,and evoke him.
But why would you do that if all information and services he can provide can be answered more skillfully by various other spirits?
So,I felt rather uneasy.There came a time when he failed with his little rituals,and I felt like Einstein watching a small boy try to calculate momentum by using the wrong formula.
Then there came a time,when he literally started to say:‘‘Maybe I have to ask him in English?’’ because I do not live in an anglophone country.At which point,I facepalmed and hummed internally:‘‘Cama,cama,Charlie,Cama,cama…’’ just to make his little work easier and get the dabbling over with,because it felt so freakishly frivolous.Ye know?
He succeeded,but Charlie seemed eerily distracted and I felt his presence rather strongly.While others looked at it,with skepticism,fear,or whatever it is muggles feel,I was duly bored,and uncomfortable because the Wandering Spirit literally flocked to me.
I was like a light pulling the moth within.My dispassion may’ve been a factor,as I was the only one who didn’t react to his presence so he wanted my attention the most.Or it may be because I was the only there with any real spiritual abilities.Either way,my clairsentience was on fire.
This is the part where I pretended to be appalled by it,and have an uncomfortable thing for the supernatural,so I could excuse myself,go to the bathroom,and try to get this spirit off of me.
So,I performed a Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram in the bathroom.I’m not even kidding,I didn’t have many good ideas.I did however also use EA’s special banishing formula from KoF.Ye know,‘‘Astu,malku, ta dat, arkata, sastu…’’ that one.
So,I see the Charlie Charlie as a silly game for the dilletanti to get scared,and for the serious magician to use to frighten his more mundane compatriots.
Admittedly,if I weren’t in the broom closet so to speak,I’d probably film myself summoning the wandering spirit…except I’d probably have Paimon or Belial there too,to show what a REAL demon looks like. The audience wouldnt’ see either of them,though.They’d only see me trying to talk to spirits.
Unaware,safe for the gifted,that I’m actually succeeding.
In short,it’s silly,pointless,and I wanted to bring this little story to everyone’as attention but you beat me to the punch.
Also,congratulations to me!This is my 50th post!!!
