The following is an account of a secret I’ve been keeping since 2017. It is the only case of partial physical shapeshifting that I’ve ever managed to get photographic proof of. While I understand that the existence of SFX makes it difficult to believe any photo you see on the Internet, I hope that you all will take me at my word that what I’m showing here is the truth.
From early 2016 to Dec. 2017, I became close friends with someone I met in a small group meant for physical shapeshifters. In private, he claimed that he was a werewolf - and naturally, I started off with extreme skepticism. Surely such a thing doesn’t exist in nature, right? Right??
But after a while, he trusted me enough to show me some proof. Attached are two photos of an episode that he calls a “slip” - a small, periodic, involuntary shift. This particular slip was in the form of a claw growing out of the tip of the finger, aligned with the distal phalanx bone.
In his case, his shifts were entirely involuntary and uncontrolled. He also described a more extensive kind of shift that occurred every ~2 weeks, on average, that took him to a more classical werewolf-like form, but alas, I never did witness that. I did speak to a friend of his that verified it, though.
He didn’t know what the cause was, but he was a teenager when it started. All I know is that his mom was a self-described witch and a practitioner of the left hand path. I don’t know her methods. But our working theory was that something she did was was triggered this condition in him. The condition is most definitely not natural.
Has anyone here ever witnessed or experienced similar or comparable forms of physical shapeshifting?
I do not, but it’s not something so uncommon (some Magicians really want to not believe that such thing is possible); but it’s very secret for sure… After all, no one wants the spirits to stop helping, most spirits from this level do not like arrogant people or people revealing their secrets as just for a show. There are cases here in my country and in Haiti of actual shapeshifting of Werewolves, and here on Brasil there are reports of sorcerers turning into tree trunks to escape the police, using the Book of Saint Cyprian. How much of these are just myths or realities, only experience will prove.
There are even some theories about how this happens in a occult fashion, I read in books about Haitian Vodou that some thinks that the Werewolves are people that do an astral projection, shapeshift their astral body and materialize/condense it to the physical world. And that’s why there’s the myth that only silver bullets can damage them, since silver is strongly related to the spiritual world and is a metal of lunar properties.
According to the works of Carlos Castaneda the Toltec Sorcerers of Mexico used to at one point in time physically shapeshift. Which came with a whole host of other problems. Generally the idea is that they change their energetic configuration to that of an animal. Which required deep and thorough knowledge, plus incredible skill. Problem being that by doing so they actually turned into those animals and lost the faculty necessary to turn back.
All Castaneda controversy aside, this does seem a likely problem with shape-shifting physically…
Also don’t turn invisible lol, there are also people that become invisible and because they don’t stipulated the time to turn back visible, they become forever invisible.
So the best explanation believe it or not comes from Catholic exorcists, and that is because, little did we know, shape sifting is a regular phenomenon in the possessed. Dead serious.
Now, shape shifting is exclusively a result of diabolical possession or the equivalent. However, because demons are not above the world but part of it, they can’t actually really break the laws of physics, they work marvels, which just means they use physics and the laws of nature in deeper ways than we can understand. This means there never has been and never will be a case of actual genetic shape shifting. What is perceived is a glamour- either the light around the body or the light entering the eyes of the observer is manipulated by the demon to perceive the animal that the possessed is shifted into. That and there can be instances of intense astral projection into other forms as Eliphas Levi talks about. Couple this with an altered state of consciousness and the marvel of shape shifting with both its subjective and objective elements is explained. The demon can also move the sensitive and emotional parts of the soul to imitate and be configured to the sense of the animal in question. So all shape-shifting is in the end is an elaborate glamour with demonic hypnotic subjective aspects. This makes it extremely convincing and explains why all killed lycanthropes revert back to the human form.
I disagree, first of all what a “demon” is? Very subjective term. It’s a parasite? A Djinn? A faerie? The Goetics?
Also there are multiple sources of gods that can also make humans transform, even Moses have that power. So no, it doesn’t need to be a “demonic possession” or illusion, it could very much be real.
You’d have to understand metaphysics to make that statement. What metaphysical model of reality are you assuming? Nominalism, Realism, moderate realism?
Demons are immaterial intelligences- bodiless powers as are the angels. Djinn and fae are embodied intelligences, though in a subtler body than the human.
The “metaphysical” conception of research and experience. I believe that if you put a strong energy in the astral it can pass through some laws of the material world for sure, the inverse is also true (a person becoming so subtle that they physical body goes to another world). So I’m not much about that fancy nomenclatures of beliefs, I just believe what I believe.
There’s nothing fancy about it, the entire western magical tradition is based in Plato and Aristotle and their esoteric concepts whose best exponent is Iamblichus and the Greek magical papyrii. Because magic is real and really works it has real laws and really fits in reality in a particular way. That’s the main thing.
No, it doesn’t, lol. Oh my gosh, for all these metaphysical statements have any of you actually studied metaphysics or do you just say what sounds cool in your head?
No.
That there are invisible spiritual beings that are immaterial at LEAST relatively in relation to our perception of physical matter does not violate the laws of physics unless you ASSUME a materialistic universe and the paradigm of scientism, scientism means “The only way of gaining knowledge of the world is the scientific method.”
Now if you are a person with a paradigm of scientism and an occultist, you are a weirdo. Occultism by its very nature demands that we acknowledge that in this world NATURE contains mysterious and unknown forces with which it interacts to produce marvels. Demons are PART of nature, they belong to the natural order, they interact with humans and obey certain laws and boundaries and are subject to conditions of operation. That is not a violation of the laws of physics.
For example a violation of the laws of physics would be if I could fly simply by negating gravity by my will alone. But if I appeared to be flying because a demon was carrying me, this does not negate physics because the demon has the natural ability to not be subject to material forces, being immaterial, and his use of that nature in my favor (carrying me) does not violate anything. The same follows for shapeshifting. There is no violation of nature because demons don’t have the power to break any physical laws. That’s why they don’t do miracles strictly speaking. A miracle is an act that violates natural law. Reconnecting a severed hand is a miracle. Raising somebody from the dead who has been dead to the point of beginning to undergo the process of decay is a miracle. Demons can do marvels, not miracles.
Off topic but where the absolute hell did you get your extensive library of knowledge. Any books?
Also are u saying that demons then have less capabilities than humans? Humans can develop siddhis which are supernatural powers that are miraculous. ive always considered demons more evolved than humans.
Also, not accusing. Im genuinely curious. Im just shocked at your knowledge lol.
Aristotle’s metaphysics. In reality to be honest I would read Iamblichus on the Chaldean Mysteries, and Proclus Elements of Theology and research medieval Philosopht, specifically the thought of John Duns Scotus and the Formal distinction, the multiplicity of forms in the soul, the nature Haecceity and the reality of universal forms.
The magical tradition does not understand the degree to which it is indebted to Greek philosophy and Catholic philosophers who refined Greek philosophy. Then what you do is you connect it to theosophy through Eliphas Levi and compare his theories to modern theories of quantum mechanics, fractal geometry and panpsychism. The result is you realize the ancients were right but used metaphors. It takes time. I have been reading about this stuff 28 years. But when it clicks it clicks. If you want we can start a conversation on magical as a coherent paradigm for life and a philosophically consistent worldview based upon both ancient philosophy and modern theories of physics. Combine that with Jungian depth psychology and the reality of spirits and the in-between and panpsychism and you are set for a worldview that is consistent and makes sense.
