Don't give into your natural inborn female desires to learn about the occult or gain special power.

Women have been tied into the serpent/Satan since the fall of man.

The deep insecurities and lust for power that women feel makes them extremely vulnerable to the call of the dark side that soo many females around the world feel and sometimes hear.

Once you open the door and start down that dark path it can forget plague, torment, punish and torture you for eternity... Don't do it regardless of how curious you are.

@guruman. funny, your name references a religious philosophy that many would say in ignorance, is satanic. Most "Guru" i have met are more inclusive,, and many are polythiestic
Your position is repeating a basic fundamental bigotry that women are somehow tainted by evil , and that there are only 2 sides to life.
eternal punishment is the threat used by monotheists too keep people "in their Place"
Broaden your knowledge and see what is really there not just parrot the Male centric dominant religions..

@SatyrService: you proceed from a number of false assumptions, starting with my name, which has no religious connotations but is used in the more broad aspect of the term to mean one who is highly knowledgeable with deep understanding.

Second, the idea that women are tied into the serpent is in cultures, sculptures and artwork from all over the world in cultures that had nothing to do with Christianity.

There are legends and writings in numerous cultures that predate Christianity that speak of women being tied into the serpent, and I've also spoken to many females that have never dabbled into anything occultic yet who have hear voices, callings and pulls to the dark side.

I also speak from experience helping such people and other experience to.

@guruman: [b]first[/b] I stipulate your first point,, the more general term guru as teacher..
sorry bout that assumption

[b]second[/b] indeed it is true,, see the Minoans, the Pythians etc., that snakes have figured so..what is the problem with snakes? unless you are using the symbolism from the abrahmanic faiths Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and thus have internalized those values. Snakes are just animals,, [i]not evil spirits[/i]

[b]third[/b] there are many people of both genders, such "callings,, voices", are internally generated and are symptoms of either mental illness of the influence not of sprits,, but malignant ideas, and since as you say the never did anything occult ( meaning hidden BTW) why make that connection?

you experiences,, as you say seem likely to have been seen thru the lens of the above mentioned belief systems. the "experiences" of the midieval and later witch hunters were just such a thing Ergot poisoning is not the work of the devil any more than Malaria was due to Bad air.
