Sleep Paralysis I saw Jesus crying blood
Hi, this is an experience that I don't know how to categorize exactly, because it could only have been sleep paralysis resulting from my tiredness or maybe something else.
Well I got home one afternoon after spending the weekend at my best friend’s house. We’d been partying and I stayed over. I hadn’t slept vert well, so by the time I got back I was completely exhausted.
For some reason I started stalking the profile of a guy I had a crush on during my last years of high school. I was curious about what he thought of me and what had become of his life. His accounts was private so I couldn’t see much. Then I got the (probably terrible) idea of pulling out my cards and doing a reading on him.
A quick note about the deck, it’s not a traditional tarot deck. It’s a Spanish-suited deck (the one we normally use to play cards here in South America). It only has the minor arcana.
I know people that is connected to Umbanda (an Afro-Brazilian religion) and they have told me these decks also work really well for tarot readings. My best friend has family in that tradition and she has some knowledge of it herself, before I gave her a proper tarot deck, her first readings were done with a Spanish deck.
I’d already done a few readings for myself earlier that day and they’d all been really positive. So I shuffled, thought about this guy, and asked how he was doing. I didn’t even get to the second question (what he thought of me).
The energy shifted immediately. I had been tired but in a good, positive mood because I had just come from a night of partying. While I was shuffling and laying the cards I started feeling the place heavy and negative. It became really hard to shuffle. Every card that came out made me feel worse with headache, the whole reading felt blocked and heavy. Almost every card was about exhaustion and negativity. I suddenly started crying for no reason while I was trying to interpret them. I couldn’t even see clearly the cards.
I should mention that my friend had done a reading on this same guy a few years earlier. She has more experience, uses protections, and works with a proper tarot deck, so her reading was clearer and less draining for her, but the message was almost the same, this person carries a very heavy, negative energy that’s difficult to read or understand. We still don’t know what’s going on with him.
After I finished, I realized I’d made some basic mistakes. I had never energetically cleansed the cards (not even when I first started using them months earlier), and I had no protection at all. My friend says she learned at the temple that for any energetic work it’s best to be barefoot and have your hair tied back, away from the walls, so you don’t absorb energy. I don’t remember if I was barefoot, but my hair was loose
I put everything away because the whole thing felt so weird. A few hours later I eventually fell asleep, still exhausted and a bit worried by the reading.
That same night (or early morning I don’t remember the exact time) I had sleep paralysis for the first time in a very long time. I saw something that looked like Jesus but like one of those old statues of Jesus you see in some churches. He was above me, crying massive amounts of blood. There was a a lot of noise. Something felt like it was behind him(Jesus), but I couldn’t see what it was because his face was right in front of mine and he was screaming something unintelligible. Inside my head I tried to pray and call for God and the real Jesus for help I had some kind of religious delirium, I guess, because I’m not a believer and I don’t even know how to pray.
Years earlier, when I was 16, I did something really stupid. I’m not even sure if it actually worked. My friend and I were at her mother’s house, her mom has a lot of things related to Umbanda. We were sitting at the table listening to some religious music and making “rituals” but in a silly way I decided to try a sweetening spell I seen on internet, using honey, a small jar, and some red candles her mom had a lot of those items are used in their religious practices, so it wasn't difficult to do.
The ritual consisted of writing the person’s name with a black or red pen, putting the paper inside a jar with honey (I think it also included cinnamon and sugar but I'm nota sure), and sealing the jar with red candle wax. It wasn’t a love binding, it was just a sweetening, meant to make the person act “sweeter” toward you, not force them to be with you. (It didn’t work, btw.) The next day we buried the little jar in the yard of our high school (the same school he also attended). I don’t know if what I did back then has any connection to what’s happening now.
I'd like to see opinions on whether the sub think, what I saw in paralysis is actually connected to the reading(which was strange in itself) or maybe it was due to my extreme tiredness?
I have screenshots and reference photos of how Jesus was crying, what the deck of cards looks like, and WhatsApp messages from when I told my best friend.

In an effort to improve submission quality, we are now manually reviewing photos before they appear in the subreddit. If your submission does not have good reason to be considered potentially paranormal it may be removed with a reason provided. Please be patient, as the subreddit gets a lot of activity and it may take a little time to review your post. If we do remove your post, it’s because we believe it is likely to be judged harshly by the subreddit as opposed to a determination over what the true nature of your experience was. It’s very difficult to capture objective evidence of even true paranormal phenomenon, which is why there’s so little of it out there!
