Are there any dangers of Astral Projecting? I have read that you could die from it. But I can not remember the source, therefore I don't 100% believe it. I have never been able to project, and have never done extensive research in projecting.

I have a friend who is a Satanist. He is one of the most intelligent people I know. He meditates daily, for hours at a time. He has told me he has spoken to demons, and Satan himself. He has described astral projection as being able to be anywhere, without being there physically, as long as you have been in that place before, or know someone who is physically there, and have an attachment to them.

I have also been told it is similar to in Hollywood movies where the person dies and is walking around like a ghost. Able to see and hear their loved ones, but unable to touch/interact with them. This is the "idea" that I believe the most.

I have trouble believing many things people tell me due to being told false things about magick when I was 11-13 by people I trusted, and now have trouble doing my own research, due to having trust issues.

I was wondering if anyone had personal experiences good or bad, and if you could explain what Astral Projecting is really like, or if it is different for each person. I like recommendations for books, but I don't have the financial ability to purchase any. I have Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft and have skimmed it, but still, don't really understand.

Any advice is appreciated. Thank You. Blessed Be.
