If you become friends is it still a monster?

There is something about those things that go bump in the night that send a shiver down our spines.   The unknown calls to us and many times we answer.   But what are these creatures of legend?  Legend or myth?  Real or just within our minds?

 

This section of Ancient Pathway will dip deeply into a world unknown, from Dragons to Were-creatures, the Vampires of legend and of movie magic.   Take note:  As the systems operator and owner of Ancient Pathway, I do NOT fear monsters.  I actually seek them out.  Most times, I have found that they are simply misunderstood.   They have the same wants, needs and desires of human beings, or in some cases animals.  They can be dangerous, but no more dangerous than your average human being. 

NOTE:  We have included several demonic and angelic creatures on this list.  This is because they are of legend and lore.  This does not indicate that they are MONSTERS, and as you read through these descriptions, you will find that we at Ancient Pathway hold that creatures called "monsters" in high regard.  In many cases I, personally, would rather be in the company of these creatures, than most humans.

The Monster List


We have broken the monsters into an alphabetic list.   In the near future we will highlight one creature monthy with an in-depth analysis of the myths behind the legend, and in some cases, the reality.

Void - An Ancient Pathway Highlight



Also known as:  Void walker, schism or A human black hole

A VOID is not really a monster.  It is simply an extension of the human condition.  There is little documentation on these creature though history, but there is a great amount of information about the effects that the VOID can cause.

General Background:  A VOID is a "normal" human being that has a spiral of negative energy surrounding them.  This can be caused naturally simply by situation, or more often than not, by lifestyle.  Understanding the rule of three or rule of seven in which negative energies can pull negative results explains how the VOID comes into existence.   When a human being acts in a way that is opposing to the positive ways of life, love and happiness, they can create a significant negative aura around themselves.  When this happens, a VOID is born. 
The effects of a VOID can be physical, mental, psychological, metaphysical or any combination.   Many times, the person in question may not even realize that they have become this creature and simply put off the negativity as "bad luck".  

Identification of a VOID:   If you spend time with a human being and note that you are suddenly stricken with bad luck, failures in life, depression or all around negative feelings, you have probably encounted a VOID.   When you are seperated from this person, your luck improves as does your general well being.  These creatures are closely akin to Psychic or Physical vampires in their actions.  They draw in positive energies from those around them, corrupting or twisting those energies and replacing them with negative energies.

It is unlikely to encounter a human being that has chosen this type of path, but due to depression, drug use, or family / friend issues, it is possible.  Many times, these people will display themselves as "light workers" drawing the negative out of other people, especially on the physical and mental planes.  The problem with this is that the negative that they put off is expanded to those close to them and their close friends feel the negative effects even though there actions are "positive".

Fighting the VOID:   You can't.  This is a personal journey that the person must take.   You can advise them, pointing out the negative effects that are being caused by their actions.  In my personal experience, this is usually simply waved off as paranoia.    Until the person comes to the realization of their affliction and makes a personal stand against it, it is unlikely that you will be able to assist them.  If you try, they tend to shy away from you, moving on to other, more reasonable "targets".

Personal Experience:
I have, in my life, come across a single VOID that I have been able to identify.  Though I was deeply drawn to this person and viewed them for a very long time in a positive light, the effects of this personal were unmistakable.  Those around her suffered from very negative afflictions of body, mind and soul.  Even with metaphysical shields constantly in place and a very powerful spiritual guardian as protector, the effects were still quite intense.  During the extensive time that she was in my life, any of my ventures simply failed to gain a foothold.   As soon as she was removed from my life, my positive energies flowed, my ventures succeeded and I experienced and almost euphoric change in attitude.  
Now, if i spend any energies, even on thoughts of our time together, the negative influences return almost immediatly.  By keeping her out of my thoughts, my luck SEEMS to push forward in postive flow.
