SHAPESHIFTING

Shapeshifting, also known as transformation and transmogrification, is a change in the form or shape of a person, especially a change from human form to animal form or a change in appearance from one person to another.

“Every culture in the world has a shapeshifter lore- legends of creatures who can transform themselves into animals or other men.” Usually, the animal involved in the transformation is indigenous to or prevalent in the area from which the story derives. It is worthy to note that while the popular idea of a shapeshifter is of a human being who turns into something else, there are numerous myths about animals that can transform themselves as well.

Shapeshifters and Shapeshifting

VULCAN MIND-MELD

Vulcan Mind-meld is a term from the television show “Star Trek.” The procedure known as a mind-meld involves physical contact with a subject, making it possible to share thoughts, experiences, memories and knowledge with another individual. On the show, the Vulcan race can perform mind melds with members of most other species, including humans.

WEREWOLVES

In mythology, werewolves are entities that are human but shape shift into wolf form during certain lunar timeframes. This phenomenon is also referred to as lycanthropy, from Greek lykoi, “wolf” and athropos, “man.” The change from man to wolf is held to be possible by witchcraft or magic, and can be voluntary or forced by certain cycles of the moon and certain sounds (such as howling).

In some folklore, werewolves are immune from aging and most physical diseases. They can be killed by any wound that destroys the heart or the brain or by any form of death that causes brain or heart damage (such as hanging or other oxygen-deprived methods).

DOPPELGANGER

A doppelganger is a ghostly double of a living person, adapted from the German word translating to “double walker.” The term refers to any double of a person, most commonly in reference to a so-called evil twin. The word is also used to describe a phenomenon in which you catch your own image out of the corner of your eye. In some mythologies, seeing one’s own doppelganger is a death omen. A doppelganger seen by friends or relatives of a person may bring bad luck or is an indication of approaching illness.

WRAITHS

A Scottish word, first used in England in 1513. A wraith is an apparition, vision, or double of another living person. Its appearance is commonly seen as an omen that the person being doubled is about to die. This double is indistinguishable from the real person and can interact with others just as the real person would.

ANIMAL PSI

Pets have always been known to: wait at the door when their owners arrive home, warn of approaching danger long before humans perceive signs of warning, take to the liking or disliking to people for no apparent reason, have the ability to see ghosts, and are able to predict a natural disaster such as a hurricane or earthquake before it even begins! It is believed that Animals live on a psychic or instinctual level and do not have reason or the same level of awareness or consciousness that humans have.

There are many problems with detecting animal psi. One problem is that it is hard to determine whether the human researcher’s psychic powers are affecting results- ie are they measuring the animal’s psychic abilities, or the researcher’s results. It is also hard to tell which psychic power is being tested. Is a dog's ability to be waiting at the door when their owner comes home (even if the time varies from day to day) an example of precognition (awareness of future events) or telepathy (reading their owner's mind)?

There are psychics who claim to be able to communicate with animals and heal them. These “pet psychics” also give advice on the animal’s physical and mental state, have been known to find lost animals, and have the ability to communicate with the spirits of dead animals. One famous psychic, Sonya Fitzpatrick, has her own TV show on the Animal Planet channel where she communicates with animals, diagnoses illnesses and reveals concerns the animals may have.

THOUGHT FORMS/ PSYCHIC PROJECTIONS

Thought forms/ Psychic projections are nonphysical entities that exist in the mental or astral plane and are created purely from thought. Every thought generates vibrations in the aura’s mental body, which assumes a floating form and colors depending on the nature and intensity of the thought. These thought-forms are usually seen by clairvoyants and may be intuitively sensed by others.

Theosophists and clairvoyants place thought-forms in three classifications: the image of the thinker; the image a material object associated with the thought; and an independent image expressing the inherent qualities of the thought. Thoughts of a low nature, such as anger, hate, lust, and greed create thought-forms that are dense in color and form. Thoughts of a more spiritual nature generate forms possessing a greater purity, clarity and refinement.

Thought-forms can be directed towards anyone, but to be effective they must latch onto a similar vibration from the other person’s aura. If they are unable to do so, they can boomerang back to the sender. Thus, one who directs evil towards another runs the risk of having it return.
