Be careful this halloween, for spiritual threats of the astral, the etheric, and the demonic are not the only things to be wary of. There are predatory and vampiric entities of the physical plane prowling about as well. I will be talking about two of them, though due to the damn indentation bug, one at a time. https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5e8b/172c/3003/7513/d55c/9e82/KarenMeme.jpg Our first entity on this year's agenda is the Karen. Not to be mistaken by anyone named Karen, we're talking about a vampiric entity that feeds on attention by finding something (often race or status related) to be offended by, and disrupting the harmony. Karens characterized by a feminine form of narcisism, where unlike their male counterparts, you trade out the grandiosity trait with a more hysterical trait. Entitled and self important, Karens will hyper-fixate on whatever component of their environment makes them 'uncomfortable', then will throw a big tantrum in order to correct it. Escalating into wilder and more hostile behavior, the more attention they siphon. Though if you think this is a reaction to something, think again. They are proactive entities, often encroaching on the autonomy of another individual and initiating harassment or combat before trying to make what happens next seem like the victim's fault. As such, whenever one enters your field of view and designates you as its target, your best course of action legally speaking is to either flee before the encounter will occur (In which case the Karen will aggro on the person with either the next darkest skin tone or most flayed clothing), or to whip out the phone and record everything. Unlike entities of the etheric plane who could be dealt with through salt, iron, or holy water, using such materials on the denizens of the etheric spectrum can be classified by other physical entities as assault. So you should endeavor to use nonviolent means. Just like a demonic haunting or a poltergeist, the use of banishment or similar ritual should be conducted off site, lest unforeseen disruptions are likely to unfold. Other methods such as prayer or energy manipulation are even less likely to effect Karens, and will only escalate them further. Sometimes the best way to beat a Karen is at their own game. This is where the recording comes in. At some point, a Karen is going to ask for the onsite manager. Remain calm, and show the video. Most managers have experience identifying Karen activity. They will first make an attempt to deescalate. And should that fail, managers are practiced in a form of exorcism called "The 911 ritual." Only after the Karen has left should you attempt an onsite cleansing, either through sage or energy work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o29xix7ivZ0 But what happens if a Karen were to encounter a being that is incapable of civil conduct? Something far less predictable, and even in occult circles, is whispered about in hushed dread. The Florida man. Stay tuned.
