Ask Dali Mama

DEAR DALI MAMA:

Are there such a thing as negative entities and exorcisms? If I feel I have a negative entity attacking me, can I exorcise it from myself?

—Haunted (United States)

DEAR H.:

Yes, there are entities that are negative or harmful, and exorcisms, if done correctly, are real. There are also a number of charlatans or people who will say you have a negative entity or bad karma and that you must pay X amount of dollars to release it.

If you believe you have a negative entity attacking you, do not try to remove it yourself. It takes a lot of training in order to do that safely in most cases. For example, someone in the Catholic church told me that priests study 10 years to be able to perform an exorcism. The legitimate healers I know who remove harmful beings all studied and practiced many years as well in order to do it safely.

If you are suffering from this problem, please find someone legitimate who can assist you.

Wishing you a safe journey.
