I am not sure if this is the right religion forum for this I have a problem. I had a bit of a goth phase when I was younger and became interested in Lavey style satanism. I was an atheist so I did not believe in an actual being that existed called Satan. I was interested in making the most anti-Christan statement I could. Anyway I ended up getting this symbol tattooed on me underage. It was a tribute to a certain satanic metal band that I loved as it is their symbol. Historically it was used by vlad the impaler (dracula) and in theory was a Christian group called the Order of the Dragon. But it was a knights templer sort of group which in reality was probably worshiping something else. This gets into the templers being Illuminati but that is a long topic. In a nut shell that would mean that in fact they worshiped what a Christian would call "Satan". Plus I know for sure the symbol is used by a band that is outspoken about it's anti-christian views. So I feel the symbol has attracted negative energy and beings even if historically it was not meant to. Shortly after getting this tattoo I had a complete spiritual awakening thanks to meeting some better people. And I came to realize there are things in the world that are evil and negative and you invite them they come. I am not a Christian but I do believe in spirits. I realized I did not want to be a part of the satanic life anymore. It has been several years since I got the tattoo and for a long time I have thought I just have to live with it and hide it while being embarrassed about my past. But lately I have begun to think perhaps something has attached itself to me especially recently. I see the number 666 in many places, like much more often then should be normal and I have felt breathing on my neck when I sleep at night as well as things being in different places then they were left. I wonder if some of the negative things that have happened to me over the years were exacerbated by this tattoo. I just figured it was life but I don't know now. So my question is would getting it covered up destroy the power of the symbol? If so what I would be interested in something with a positive meaning. Something that might even attract the good energy to me. If that doesn't work it would at least be something positive to me. Or what can I do besides spending thousands of dollars having it laserd off? Something I have wanted to do since shortly after getting it. I have not had a cover up because I don't want any more tattoos. But I feel I might have to pick something.
Tough one. On the one hand you have negative energy believed to be caused by this tattoo and on the other hand your negative thinking and motives to get rid of it could also be encouraging more bad energy. I honestly feel what's happening to you is a good thing. If you are sincere, not every body gets to have these feelings of spirits and energy in their life. I used to have a simar problem except it wasn't tattoo related but something I had come to find in possession. Immediately it drew negative energy to my whole life. I won't go into details but it was frightening and terrifying. I consulted a personal friend of mine, a Nordic guru if you will who advised me to really open myself up to such energy even if negative. He gave the same speech I just gave you. "Not everybody gets to experience what you are going through". So I did open myself up to it. All of the negative energy came from one small possession in my house. I believe this energy to have been a female presence for I saw her in one of my terrifying lucid states, she was in my kitchen and she was throwing pots and pans at me and she was telling me to "get out of her house". This was my house, my cabin. It was built for me. So I knew it was something in the house. When I realized what the energy was attached to I could really "talk" to it. So as advised by my guru, I spent a good night talking to thin air but it listened to me. I told it leave me be, I know what I had, I will look after it etc. I told this energy everything about me with intimate detail. I never had a problem with it again though it came to me in a dream soon after a spirit with no audible voice yet it spoke to me and I understood that as of that moment this energy was going to look after me. For the most part it did in that property. I have moved on and it has come with me for the better. Not really sure what you are meant to get out of any of that so I apologize for the TL;DR. I guess there's always a positive to take out of a negative. If all else fails get a big ass Mjolnir tattoo and invoke the power of Thor!
That was helpful thanks. I really do focus allot of negative thinking on it. It's a reminded of a philosophy I can't stand anymore so I probably do give it allot of power.
Seems to me if you can't Delete, then Amend - Something over/under/sideways ... though(?) this may change the dynamics and influence of that wiTch one feels is being drawn unto
I would hope covering it would do the trick....but is it possible to remove negative energy you would HAVE to actually have it removed, as if it was covered,. it would still be in existence? I'm not saying that's the case... but maybe something to think about and look into a bit? Also... there is a chance that it is not evoking anything negative by it's existence but is evoking negativity simply by your thoughts on it... a self fulfilling prophesy like?
I think this is one of the more original tattoo ideas I've seen. Well, that doesn't have to be positive on itself But I have always liked this picture too.
