Everyone has a very different relationship with this one thing that unifies all of us. Examining that relationship can teach us a lot about ourselves. This week’s episode is about the different ways that death appears to us and challenges us. First, I share the story of someone who was followed home from a hospital. Then, I narrate an encounter from someone who traveled to another realm in a near death experience. And finally, I speak with Ebony Soy, about how coming from a line of healers has opened her up to otherworldly experiences.

For this week's episode, you’ll hear about all the different types of spirits and creatures that exist all around us, the benefits they can bring into your life, and what to look for when choosing a spirit for yourself.  Contact Alduin & Elle https://www.kaijumgt.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/storieswithsapphire/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/storieswithsapphire/support

Spirit Keeping Part 2 (with Alduin & Elle Royeaux)

The concepts of time and destiny are ones that I constantly think about. Are the past, present, and future predetermined and all happening at once and we’re just experiencing it in a linear way? Or is everything created impromptu, leaving room for change? In this episode, I’ll be sharing real stories from people who have the ability to know about future events, so that maybe we can better understand how time functions. First, I share a story from someone whose dreams keep becoming reality. And then I speak with Barbe, who always seems to know what’s about to happen to her family.

In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing stories about the dark side of witchcraft, so you can detect the signs yourself and differentiate this taboo practice from positive witchcraft.

And then, Mortis Media narrates a true tale from a victim of brujeria.  Chapter 1: My Cursed Bloodline, with Cassidy Liston Chapter 2: My experience with a woman who practiced Brujeria, narrated by Mortis Media Vote for Stories With Sapphire: https://www.podcastawards.com/app/signup // The TikTok Video Where We Captured A Ghost?? https://www.tiktok.com/@sapphiresandalo/video/6927025057772342534?is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6943780503673947654 Listen to Drinking The Koolaid https://www.dtkpod.com Listen to Scary Stories With Mort https://anchor.fm/mortis-media --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/storieswithsapphire/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/storieswithsapphire/support
