I hope you are able to discuss this with Shanthini. Perhaps you can get her email from Jon. She gave some very good advice. We have to be very careful when we go to places we are not prepared for. I remember picking up a magazine calle NW Witch while I was browsing around in a Japanese book store. I just looked at the pictures. That night I had an awful dream in which I got stuck in a town that happened to be all witches who were chanting the boy must die over and over. I woke up and realized it was because I had given the devil a door of opportunity.
 
THis stuff is real. You can not mess around unless you are prepared properly and still there is consequences.
