"this troubling experience is distinctly human, experienced briefly at some time or another by as much as 70 percent of college students" excerpt from a book called "Stranger to My Self".
So, what does /x/ think about this interesting disorder? Is it just stress & trauma? Are the doctors just trying to sell you drugs? Is it paranormal at all, does it have anything to do with the nature of reality? It affects women and men equally, it arises in adolescence and it can last decades, many professionals don't take it as an existing disorder etc ("Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder: A Neglected Disease in Psychiatry."). Also:
>"It [...] has been an ever-present human affliction, and the now established prevalence rate may have always been the same."

Another article ("The epidemiology of depersonalisation and derealisation") notes:
>"Importantly, the ICD-10 describes DDs as primarily acute disorders that usually remit within a few weeks or months, and that have an onset in the immediate context of events that are highly stressful, traumatic, and/or that involve intolerable, insoluble problems. In contrast, the DSM-IVTR conceptualizes several DDs as long-term, chronic disorders" and >"Epidemiological research has shown that depersonalisation/derealisation phenomena are commonly experienced in the general populations, although the severity and duration of these symptoms is currently unknown. High rates in students may reflect a generally higher prevalence of such symptoms in the young, plus possible effects of illicit drug use"
>"the studies reviewed tend to confirm the impression that DP/DR phenomena are part of normal human experience. Rates in association with life-threatening events again suggest this is part of a ‘normal’ response to trauma, but individual predictors of DP/DR in this context are so far lacking."

So, for about a year now in bed at night, and sometimes in the mornings, I have been receiving these `Manifestations ` or `Visits. ` They don’t normally scare me, they usually last for no more than a second or 2, and sometimes they are just sounds and sometimes they are visual; certainly they vary enormously in thematic scope. Thus far it has happened about 100 times. They started about 1 year after I met and had been receiving numerous healings from an exceptionally powerful Energy Healer. The following is the latest which happened yesterday morning.

So, bear in mind the following all took place in the space of about a second. I woke up - lying at about 45 degrees on my left side - and when I did I could feel that my right arm was involved in the act of masturbation; although `downstairs ` I could feel nothing. I thought, `Huh? ` and so turned over to investigate/look at my arm. The instant I did this then the `arm masturbation ` feeling stopped and then an instant later from behind me came the sound of a posh sounding woman laughing in a way which suggested a practical joke successfully achieved.

Now, initially, even if for only a relative instant, I could feel my arm moving, for sure; although my hand was nowhere near my Johnson and I hadn’t been masturbating. So, as I said these `Visits. ` vary enormously in scope but this was a pretty decent one, definitely in the top 5.

Cue accusations of mental illness, which would be unfounded. AMA.

Giants appear in the folklore of many different cultures across the world.

Abrahamic, Janinism, Hindu, Native American, Greek, Roman, Norse, Balt, Bulgarian, Basque and many other European mythologies.

A lot of the stories tie in with the Inner Earth theory and the Ancient Astronaut theory.

Some interesting vids to start:

I don't know why I am even asking this, honestly, not trying to be edgy. Not even really believe in witchcraft or whatever.
But how would /x/ deal with a sadic person that always seems to get away with their doings and never get any of the harm they inflict upon others? Has ever occured to you to use any sort of occult resource to make a certain person get what they deserve? Did it work? Or affect you in any negative way?
Because you know, sometimes karma is a lazy bitch. Or a non existant one, period.


Will try any suggested method that doesn't involve directly harming/hurting that someone. It's not about vengeance, just justice.

While this is certainly not an anime board, just as we sometimes discuss /x/ related movies and video games I suppose we could do our fair share to explore some of the more noteworthy related media of Japan.

Hello /x/.

I never liked the general format. If anyone following the threads noticed I shifted away from the general format when I posted in /his/, electing to use specific topics. I'll probably be going back to that form, and how I originally used to post, given the rise of the /x/ themed generals after /div/. Given how much of the topic's material is in the Sloane MSS, it's probably a decent time to cover trajectories of so-called "Wicca" and "Traditional Craft", and the histories that give rise to both.

At this point it's pretty well common knowledge that Gardner essentially pulled Wicca from his ass with a touch of help from Crowley and various other sources. While Gardner himself may have been a weak mage, he very clearly understood the basic principles of initiation (looking through the Book of Shadow) and ended up putting together a current (if we're talking BTW) of folks who can more or less hold their own with more temple oriented practice. Then Doreen Valiente came along and decided to make Wicca a part of the “New Age” expansion of common thought, ending today with a bajillion shitty books at Barnes and Noble in their New Age section all about “Wicca”.

But what about “witchcraft” in an English speaking context? Joel B. has long complained (among others, and I've agreed) that there appears to be a missing “cunning” tradition between the death of conjectural alchemy and the publication of Levi. Rumor about lines of transmission has flown in many directions. You had people avowing to witchcraft before Gardner and it's NOT the usual suspects, guys like Cochraine notwithstanding.

What do you guys think is happening to these people? Bigfoot? UFO? Portals? Demons? Serial Killer(s)? Why are so many of German decent? Clusters mean something more?

Can someone tell me the facts about vampires and whether they're real or not? If so is there any way to become one?

Also just vampire general thread, so if anyone wants to post some stories about encounters with vampires you're more than welcome to.

I don't usually go on /x/ but I have a lot of weird memories from when I was a child that don't really make a lot of sense but there is one in particular that I remember very well.

I was at my grandmothers house during a party or something and I was wandering around in the backyard. The backyard was kind of like a path that led to a back patio. Along the path there were bushes planted on one side. I remember hearing something and looking under the bush and I saw something that looked like pic related roll out from the bush and hit me, and I went unconscious. Not for very long apparently because I came to and walked back to the house completely uninjured. I told my parents but they thought I was lying or something.

Anyone got any idea what that might of been? Also if you have any other explainable memories, feel free to share.

We've had "creepy music" threads in the past, but I'm looking for something different. What would a thousand year old flesh eating ghost vampire skinwalker alien (or other monster of human intelligence) listen to while cruising for human flesh at night?

Example:
