Psychedelics increase our sensitivity. It makes our senses go to turbo drive and all our sensory faculties are sharpened to the point where some experiences become overwhelming for a regular human being.
That being said, this sensitivity, can and does reveal different dimensions of consciousness. The actuality of spirits and other immaterial beings existing aren’t so ludicrous when you’ve taken 5 grams of psilocybin or 3 big puffs of DMT. In fact they are rather incredibly palpable for your immediate consciousness when you are at this heightened state of sensitivity.
Your perception becomes much more open to different realms in which energies move.
Some of these energies, entities, spirits can be quite psychologically challenging. As it feels like they often want to instigate some reaction from you by picking on you, if you will.
Lets see if they truly are “dark” and “evil” or if there could be something else thats causing this severe reaction towards their presence.
Dark Spirits or Premature Conclusions From Your Mind?
One of the most important things to keep in mind when meeting with inter-dimensional beings, is to keep your mind open and flexible while keeping your conclusions very few. Meaning that you shouldn’t mistake the confrontational attitude of a spirit to be the equivalent of them wanting to hurt you or sabotage your experience, or even worse, them being evil.
In truth, this could be a rather dangerous attitude to bring into the psychedelic experience.
Most often them being confrontational is because you are entering their realm, and as any sentient being, one is on ones toes when meeting with another sentient being.
More importantly they also want to play with you, see what you are all about.
Without this “feeling out” process, i.e. without the teasing and challenging, its difficult for them to establish where you stand in your beingness.
You shouldn’t be too afraid when they are feeling you out, because most of the times, the energies that exist in inter-dimensional space are benevolent and highly intelligent beings, whom also happen to be open for new connections with human beings.
Set and Setting
First and foremost, I don’t recommend you going into a psychedelic trip if your set and setting is lacking in any important way, as being in a comfortable and supporting space is almost always crucial for a overall “good” trip.
Secondly pick your friends and guardians carefully. I would advice that you avoid individuals who are too ego-centred, aggressive or lack in openness towards life. These individuals may be partially responsible for you feeling attacked by malevolent spirits, as psychedelics can allow you to actually physically perceive negative energies flowing in and around you.
What initially can seem to be a evil spirit is more often just your evaluation of a certain situation. Therefore make sure your surroundings is set up nice, relaxed and proper.
What To Do When It Truly is a Evil Spirit
If you are absolutely convinced that you are dealing with a malevolent spirit, here are a couple of real tips to remember in order for you to diminish their power over you:
- They cannot last. Meaning that these spirits were born in time and they will end in time. This should give you a little bit of comfort and existential power.
- They cannot exist independently from your consciousness. Which means that the further you go in your self, the more you will realize that you are manifesting them into reality. It may not feel like you personally doing this, but nonetheless your awareness is responsible for this “trial” if you will. So bear it with grace and move onwards.
- Do universal prayers of surrender and love to the Supreme Being. This will undoubtedly ease any discomfort or spiritual anxiety you may endure during that moment.
- Try chanting from a state of inner strength and equanimity, this is an immediate, shamanic and natural way of harmonizing conflicting energies.
- Last but not least, stand firm in your own truth and let whatever may come come. You just stay put as yourself!
Concluding Thoughts
These are some of the things I would do if I was challenged by dark entities during a psychedelic trip.
But remember, never do an overhasty conclusion about what your trip is. Let it all flow, most often it is just our “projections” about the trip and not the actual trip itself.
The chances that you will meet an benevolent being when traversing psychedelic spaces is much more likely, and the chances that a benevolent spirit aiding you during when being harassed by a “dark” one is also a possibility.
Bless you and your journeys upon this planet and other inter-dimensional spaces!
Go forth where none has gone before and explore the magnificence of the dancing Supreme being of the Universe!

Thank you for sharing your insights about the other side of the magical mushroom. This is very educational. Thank you!
Hey David,
I’m glad you received some helpful thoughts on the more challenging side of psychedelic mushrooms.
It is indeed very important to highlight different possible aspects of how a psychedelic voyage can be.
I tried to provide with general tips that can be applied in just about any tough situation in life, even though I used controversial terms like “dark spirits” or “evil”.
Nevertheless, safe travels and I wish you a great life and adventure! 🙂 Blessings!
All my life I always I always questioned religion and God and have always felt lost and have suffered from anxiety.. I when I ate mushrooms for the first time I went into a dark hole.. I legit seen the devil and felt so anxious and overwhelmed. I had a panic attack but it felt different than any other panic attack I’d ever had.. My boyfriend prayed for me and that helped me get out of that dark hole.. I now wake up every morning thankful for my life and everyone in it.. I still have doubts about religion but I know there is a God out there. What I experienced during my mushroom trip was the scariest thing I’ve ever felt in my life but at the same time I’m thankful I went through it because I no longer feel overwhelmed and anxious in my life.
Hello,
I believe I was not possessed but very much dealt with a negative presence during a mushroom trip I had. My surroundings just looked and felt evil and so did I. To further make me freak out, my cat started staring at me and making a concerned meowing sound. Any insight on my cat that really freaked me out? Thank you
well i dont think it was evil i thought she was scared so i told her she was safe and she laid down with her head on the arm of the couch andi continued to smoke my cigerett then next thing you know i was screaming wake me up. now i also drank, challenged the lord and saw a blue light circle the room like a hour before. the setting was candle lights because the power was off and i was in a depressed mood
Thank you for sharing and spreading awareness! I hope that this magical plant would not be abused and misused. Everything, if used properly and moderately proves to be beneficial. I hope this could be the future treatment of a lot of diseases. It has endless capabilities
I have been doing magic mushrooms sincerely I was 14 years old. I am 58 now. A couple of years ago, I encountered a spirit around my that seemed friendly. One night, chose to dose on around 4 grams of of copelandia cyans. Excuse my spelling! Thinking the spirit was friendly, I asked if it wanted have an affect on the shrooms before my experience. The next thing I realize, is that there is some kind of an initiation or marriage with the entity. To say the least, I was scared shitless! Since then, the spirit has never left me. It now won’t leave. I’ve been to the Catholic, Assembly of God Churches, psychic, shaman, spirit release therapy multiple times. It doesn’t recognize the word of God! I’ve been told by a psychic that it was neither good or bad. The people involved were the spiritual release saint it was negative and also like an energy vampire! Today, even though it believe in psychedelics, I’m afraid of doing them anymore! I would love some advice, help, or incite of someone who truly knows or has gone through what I have! PLEASE HELP!,
Hey DWA.
In what way does this spirit affect you in everyday life? Do you feel divided, do you see and/or hear things. Does your sense of will and being an individual seem compromised?
I would love to hear some additional details on the everyday experience you have in relation to this being. Could it be that its just your psychological ego playing a unrelenting game with the essential you?
Generally what has helped me in difficult existential and spiritual situations of all kinds is to consciously align your attention with what is beautiful. The good, true and the beautiful are one and the same, what’s good or true can be a hard nut to crack, but what’s beautiful is much more intuitive. Try to consciously align your attention and psychic energies with the beautiful things in life, this may provide some relief.
These darker energetic forces can be transcended, sometimes it feels unbearable and very hard but it is fully possible to arrive at a place or rather a space of serenity found in the retreat of your own soul. You don’t need to be super “positive”, just align yourself with whats already innately beautiful and joyful. This will help.
Blessing to you, I will do my best to pray and commune with luminous beings to come to your aid for relief and guidance into the space of serenity and joy.
Love
Daniel
DWA: You may have a reptilian entity who masqueraded as a benevolent being. You are definitely dealing with a trickster. Read all you can on Arcturians. Call them in to help you. The book is also helpful.
They Arcturians have dominion over these type of malevolent beings. Jesus, Archangel Michael have dominion over demons, but not the beings you are referring to.
A’ho Brother 🙏🏻
I used psychedelics extensively growing up back in the 70s, but over the past 25 years have been a serious student of the bible. The bible is inspired by the “supreme being” our loving father who gives specific warnings to avoid “Pharmacia”- that is, substances that put us in touch with the spirit world. The same applies to occult or shamanistic practices. As imperfect humans, we are no match for powerful but impure spirits that we can come in contact with, which can disguise themselves into beings of light. They may seem benevolent but they do not have our best interests at heart. They are in fact extremely dangerous as DWA has learned. My advice? Please stay away from psychedelics and instead build a relationship with our heavenly father Jehovah. He can – and wants – to give us what the demons cannot: everlasting life in perfect health and a happiness, something that psychedelics seem to promise but will never be able to deliver. Please look into it.
Hmmmm. I don’t think mushrooms were a part of the forbidden fruit eaten from the tree of the “knowledge of good and evil”. lol. It’s a fungus…..a plant…..a living organism. And every living being…..plant, animal, human, fungus, organism, gets its life from the source of all life.
And without any capacity to “judge”, and no ability to reason, none can be inherently “evil”. It has no intention of its own. At best, it can only be neutral. The biblical reference to “pharmacia”, is based on the motive and intention of the sorcerer, etc. It is my biblical understanding that, God looks at the heart (motive and intentions). Interestingly, our laws traditions and customs all seemed to be based on….that’s right….motive and intention. As a matter of fact, if you have a loved one with a medical emergency and you have to drive them to the ER….not only are you aloud to speed..but you are encouraged to speed….very different from speeding to get home…in rush hour traffic…to watch the NBA playoffs. lol Also, biblically speaking, Jesus Christ commanded us to “Judge Not, so that you will not be judged”. How come? Perhaps judging, and condemning was the real fruit eaten from the mystical mental tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Perhaps the portion of our brain known as the amygdala….is a descendent of this tree. Interestingly, psychedelics and other medicines like mdma have been proven effective assisting one in bypassing the activity of the amygdala and/or the DFM (default mode network), the offspring of the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”. 🙂
@mathew im sorry i fail to see how a mushroom that has been proven to help And even cure those with a depression cycle and those with severe anxiety or trauma be evil and shouldn’t be used. To me if it truly had bad intentions it would worsen those symptoms in patients. And pharmacia can mean sorcery or magic and yes their called magic mushrooms but each species has its own name like psilocybe cubensis. I fail to see how a mushroom could have evil intentions but cure those with depression anxiety and trauma. Deeply i believe when u take a psychedelic your thoughts become patterns and if u have negative thoughts your gonna have a negative experience. But most bad trips r just really challenging thoughts that could potentially work some trauma out in your head the problem comes when you resist the experience. And those who were cured from depression never had a need to use the mushroom again so its not getting us addicted to it its actually been proven to be anti addictive. To me coke or meth is more like the devil than a mushroom that makes those with mental illnesses enjoy life again is . You used psychedelics and it didnt mess you up i believe since the dude has been trippin since he was 14 he probably developed hppd you should wait until your brain is fully mature to use a psychedelic like mushrooms 14 is wayyyy to young to start doing mushrooms. he also said he was scared and when ur on shrooms your thoughts manifest so if u feel scared it could get even worse if u keep that feeling going. I do think that dude was a troll or his condition wasnt serious considering he didnt respond to you or the creator of this page. If i had bad things following me and Had no luck anywhere else and i asked for help on this page i would check the next day not never respond. Hope you have a great day and happy holidays!
Very intriguing article Daniel. I have never experienced any connection with entities while on psilocybin mushrooms, maybe my dosage has been to low 😉
Some kinds of mushrooms are very essential for mental health. Your article shows us a clear definition of Psychedelic Mushrooms. It’s so amazing and also helpful for better knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
This is an eye-opener. Thank you for sharing your experience with the psychedelic effects of mushroom.
So I just did mushrooms for the first time tonight and had a spiritual encounter for sure.
I am somewhat an experienced psychonaut having started over two years ago and taking as much as 7grams of dried psilocybe cubensis. Those experiences were pleasant, thought provoking and insightful to say the least. My last three mushroom trips a month apart involved the presence of dark entity.
At 5 grams, I saw a dark entity that looked like baphomet and I felt like it was drawing me towards it. I identified it as malevolent and told it to leave and i wrote down “I choose the side of good!” “I choose light”, and “God is on my side” while wearing blackout eye mask.
At 4 grams, I didnt see any dark figures but the feeling of something malevolent was attacking me. It was almost overwhelming but I fought back by saying “I will fight you! I am on the side of good! I have the armor of God! I will not be defeated” I was making guttural sounds while resisting the feeling of being pulled or attacked from different directions!
At 3.54 grams which I took yesterday, the struggle to fight it off happened much sooner. It usually happens on the last hour of my trip but this recent one happened what seemed like after an hour and a half after ingesting the mushrooms. Just like the 4gram trip, I resisted and fought it off! I was yelling for it to leave and saying “you have no power over me! I have the armor of God!
Although I don’t fear it anymore, I just feel it will keep on appearing everytime I go on high dose trips. A friend of mine told me to sage the house I live in. But the last trip happened while I was house sitting.
How can I deal with this and and how can stop this dark force from engaging me during my trips?
I had a great experience on my first trip. I did enter the spirit realm and talked with an entity that was a serial killer . We had. A great time went in a long drive in his car and talked. That was amazing I still remember it. He was kind and protective of me . I’m a medium so I know who I connect with. Thank God I never have any evil around me. I been told by other mediums as well that I always have a light around me. That’s why nothing evil don’t touch me. I only take shrooms to enter the spirit realm. The trip was vivid I blacked out for five mins then I notice I was on the other side . He showed me the 60s and 70s I got to see what those decades looked like for the first time it was like time travel for me. I saw his whole life when he was here. I must admit shrooms made me feel depressed more gave me panic attacks and makes you want to attempt suicide. Be careful with this .
Me and my partner took magic mushrooms and at the beginning all felt good. Sudden at the same time as neighboors was complaining about noise and being abusive, negative and shouting on my partner he tripped away. He changed in his behaviour, it felt he has been taken over by some entity or either fighting against it. Talking to himself in weird language as in tongs with sexual character strangest bodily movements and laughter like from movie seen when someone is possessed. When asking God for help after hours of a bad trip, my partner suddenly calmed down and felt asleep. He doesn’t remeber any part of it after neighboors visit and I struggle to get these images out of mind. It hasn’t been first time neither of us taking magic mushrooms but certainly experience I won’t forget neither can explain.
