Ghost Tours and a Magick Spell – Confession of a Hostess

Posted by Jill Stefko Oct 5, 2009 |
In 1998, I made a proposal to Mary Ann Dwyer, the executive director of the former Bethlehem Tourism Authority, BTA, to have October ghost tours in the historic area. Everyone told me we would lose money the first year. We didn’t.
Before the tours were given to the public, we had a preview night for members of the media, local dignitaries and BTA employees. My great-grandfather was a Pennsylvania Dutch PowWow doctor who healed people using its magickal art. I had studied PowWow and create Hex Signs, magickal symbols intended to either attract positive desires or to banish negativity. I learned a spell to banish people’s negativity. I had tried it on a diagnosed sociopath who married into the family and caused numerous continual problems on the previous Christmas. I visualized a brilliant shining blue pentacle, five pointed star within a circle, on her forehead. I silently repeated, “In the name of the positive forces of the Universe, I banish thy negativity.” To my surprise, she bopped herself on her nose with her son’s yoyo. I had forgotten about this until the 1999 tour’s preview night. One of the guests was vociferous in complaining about the tour so intensely that we had to have a second one. Two of my guides were intimidated by her and were very nervous. Before the tour, I told them what I was going to do, perform the banishing spell. To our surprise, her attitude did a complete 180 degree turn! She was even jovial! After the tour ended, my guides gave me surprised looks and said, “It worked!”
