Crossroads:

When I used to study witchcraft, I used to love the simple little spells of asking "unnatural" spirits for advice or answers to my questions. There was one spell that involved a crossroad, that you would chant a prayer-ask your question, on the night of a Wednesday. I did that spell once, and believe it or not--it worked! [most if not 99% of the ones I did-did work]

After completing the spell that night, the next day I headed towards the bus-stop for my adventures of the day. [which either involved going to the beach, or meeting my then boyfriend-to go to the beach- beach-bum was I. :O)] As I neared a crossroad parallel to the one I'd done the spell with, around the corner appeared a man dressed in black, [which I found weird on such a hot day, but paid him no mind], while passing me, he whispered to me something and kept on walking. I turned the corner then and giggled that I could meet such "weird people" all of the time--when it struck me that it was the answer to the question I'd made just the night before.

I ran back, only minutes-not more than 3 had passed from when we had passed eachother on the road--but he was no where in sight, and with no where to go or hide--he had simply "vanished."

Note:

Also, similar to this story, once I was in a bookstore looking for paranormal readings, when a man "dressed in black" appeared to me and handed a book to me saying, "This is the one you need to read next." He then turned and left. I placed the book under my arm and paid the situation no mind until I went to pay for the books I had picked. The book he had handed to me was part two of my witchcraft book-and no where to be found in that bookstore! I had practically given up finding that book. To make it even freakier, the lady at the cash register, who has to acknowledge people who come and go from the store--never saw such a man as I'd described to her enter or leave.

The best part for last of course! I've found that other women who deal with witchcraft, being Pagan or Wicca, all from different parts of the world, have had the same, if not similar experience! Are they "guides for witches?" No one knows the answer to that one,
