Clearing of a person is a standard practice for magicians. There are many reasons for which a clearing may become necessary. Persons who are involved in magical practice but who do not have yet the authority to control energies of a higher order (“spirits” may become possessed. The entity that has a good mental capability seeks to gain a permanent point to manifest. This process is like a stone falling to the ground. It’s a natural characteristic of any entity, even a “good” one. It’s preferable not to be possessed by any entity – neither by a demon nor by an angel. A human being with its Divine spark is born to have control at all times. Possession by a demon, an angel, or a channeled entity is against human nature. Consequently human beings have a desire to rid themselves from these entities. There are many ways in which possession can occur.
