I bought a crucifix at a yard sale. I was told it was a crucifix from a casket. I am reluctant to bring it into my house until i know its safe from unwanted spirits. My questions are..... can spirits, good or bad, attach themselves to a religious object? Should i have it blessed? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. p

Well it is known that yes spirits can be attached to objects. Considering it was from a casket it may have not had any relevant meaning to the individual unless they had some sort of an emotional attachment. Please do keep in mind that it does absorb energy at all times and events are imprinted like fingerprints on the object...this is why some spiritualists can read from objects. So to answer your question. You should have this blessed and it is good practice to have anything holy blessed by your priest especially in your home.

There is no evidence for souls, afterlife, reincarnation, heaven, hell, deities, entities, ghosts, spirits, angles, elfs, fairies, leprechauns, cluricauns, far darrig, silkies, banshees, changelings, etc. etc. to exist. It is all based on BELIEF.
And BELIEF means that it is not based on facts and proof, but on unproven assumptions.

So you will never be able to KNOW something is safe in that respect.
But to a logical thinker it is just a peace of metal or wood representing a thought.

Do you really think that a figurine of a "bad spirit" would change or influence you and yours?

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and assumptions so I can understand your point. I like to think I am open minded so there really is no wrong or right answer. I am catholic so...its not a piece of wood (evidently if he/she bought a crucifix they also have a belief in some practice of Christian/catholic faith). It is also my faith and my belief that the cross is a representation of our faith of Jesus's death and dieing for our sins so we can seek salvation. This can be a very touchy subject so I am trying not to come across rude or anything, just asking you to see it from a "believers" point of view. To believe means to have faith in something that is not a fact and to enter in blind-heartedly.

Another thing to consider is that everything is made up of energy to a logical thinker. Energy comes in positive and negative forms like ions and molecules...so energy can transfer itself from objects thus maybe causing what might feel like a bad spirit. Just an idea to exercise maybe...but I would have to disagree with you...all based on my opinion and there is no right and no wrong answer when it comes to religion or beliefs because we all have a right to believe in what we want.

well unless someone was digging up caskets, how did they get it off of one.

But have it blessed.
