Image: “Witch of Endor,” by Nikiforovich Dmitry Martynov, 1857, in Wikimedia Commons … tps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Witch_of_Endor_(Martynov).jpg … public domain … COMMENTS: The story behind the painting is this: According to the Hebrew Bible, King Saul was about to go to battle with the Philistines. He consulted the Witch of Endor to find out how the battle would go. The Witch summoned the spirit of the prophet Samuel, who foretold that Saul would perish in the battle. The next day the prophecy was fulfilled. This is an instance of psychic abilities being paid for as an aid to warfare. Of course, warfare on Earth is sometimes unavoidable, but the mission of a Lightworker such as I is to spread peace and love and joy on Earth, rather than to promote aggressive behavior. To do that for financial gain would dull the Lightworker’s Light, so that her Soul mission would be more difficult to achieve. –Alice B. Clagett
