Melania: Shidim Plot
« on: February 01, 2006, 09:18:13 AM »
Ok, I just came across this today while listening to Seeing Ear Theater, and this sounds like a damn cool conspiracy plot for a master shedim. Listen to the audio presentation, and let me know what you think.

I don't think a Shedim could posess you through remains snorted; they'd need a whole body. They talk about cremating bodies to prevent the Shedim from posessing them in canon.

I know, but that's a pretty nasty scam if a master shedim could ever get the kinks worked out. I just thought it was a really intersting idea. :bob:

Yeah, but by that logic, a shedim could do that with a portion of veal, if it wanted.

You mean as apposed to a dead body at the bottom of Puget Sound???

Of course, that brings up an interesting idea. Say a Master Shedim possesses something small, like a shrimp of an oyster. Then a person eats the possessed form. Eating it wouldn't kill the Shedim, so as the food digests, perhaps the Shedim gains control over the host body. It could even force you to eat it with its compulsion power. Interesting idea...

Oysters maybe because most people kill the shrimp before it's consumed. Even then, I doubt it. I think the aura of fear and cold might make you shy away from the oysters regardless.

But those aura's can be supressed. We are talking master shedim here. They can hide in plane sigth be "becoming" the person whose body they possessed. Not much of a trick if everyone is shivering and afraid of you when you are doing something like grocery shopping or filing a memo.

Yeah, finally got a copy of Threats 2. I don't think the Master Shedim can use their power without a body, so they aren't exactly as persuasive in their blobby astral form.

True, they pretty much need a body to do anything physical at all. No mafinestation or materializaton without a body. It's a pretty big certainty taht Ibn Asi (I think that's his name) out in the middle east is a Master Shedim. See Year of the Comet for details on that one.

Yeah, I'm fairly certain that Ibn Elsa is a Shedim. I mean, how could someone get their brains blown out and then "resurrect?"

Yeah, totally strange, really. The inherent alien nature of Shedim with a Master Shedim that purports "good works" A quandary indeed.
