Not to my knowledge. Generally when one does a blessing it negates negative energies. Perhaps you should try smudging the area or the entire house if it would make you feel better. A good smudging should assist you in getting rid of any negative energies circulating in the area.

And smudging really does work! I remember blessing multiple houses and each time the mood immediately lifted and the house became somewhat brighter and happier. I've also smudged people and they said that they felt so much more relieved and peaceful. So if you sense evil, definitely smudge! You also might want to try the blessing again and add a protective charm or something along with it....maybe?

Thats not normal really OP. May i ask what blessing did you do? Also i agree with the others suggestions, definitely cleanse and rebless your book before you use it. A book of shadows or whatever you wish to call it should almost feel like a part of you.

The Blessing i did was this: Hearken as the witches' word
calls to All, a gulf to ford.
Bridge the vast realities,
An it harm none, do as ye please.

Elements protect and guard this book,
From wandering eyes and prying looks.
Fill it with thine ancient power,
In this right and ready hour.

Powers of North, the East below,
Help me to live, to learn, to grow.
Lend your strength and stability,
To practice the Craft and with love be free.

Powers of East, the Wind, the Sky,
Watch over these pages with thine eye.
Your wisdom and knowledge, for these I do ask,
That this book be worthy of the Craft and its task.

Powers of South, Fire, and the Hearth,
Help these Shadows to prove their worth.
Infuse them with all your Healing and Passion,
So only good comes from the Work that is fashioned.

Powers of West, the Water and Sea,
Change and growth are granted by thee.
Bless these pages with all that you know,
That righteous readers may learn and grow.

And to the unschooled eye that see
Confusing words and sophistry,
Lead them from these sacred pages,
And bless their passage through the ages.

For free will of all,
And harm of none,
As I have willed it,
It is now done.

So mote it be!

but i know there is an evil presence in my house, may this one be countering the blessing?

Thats a lovely blessing will have to write it down, if there is a negative influence in your house, its best to get rid of it and as said before by a previous poster smudging is excellent for this. Can you think of where the negative presence came from or even what it is?
