I married a ghost, & became a witch to get over him...

GOODBYE TO HAUNTED SPOUSE

- ■■Christine YOUNAN

A WOMAN who claims to have "married then divorced" a ghost has turned to witches for help.

Brocarde (40) recently revealed her new career path as a paranormal investigat­or. To understand and harness her "inner magic", she flew to Romania for a day to become a witch.

The singer joined a coven to learn the secrets of witchcraft and had a spell cast on her for protection against the devil and her ex the ghost of a Victorian soldier.

She visited the home of Mihaela Minca, Romania's most famous witch, in the suburbs of Bucharest.

There she became an honorary member of the coven and learned how to harness her powers.

Brocarde, from Oxfordshir­e, turned to the witches for help after her experience­s with her "ex" - a ghost named Edwardo. They "married", but a year later, she ended the relationsh­ip.

She became a witch to try and understand why she could communicat­e with spirits and see things not all people can.

The singer said: "I was honoured to be invited into Mihaela's home, to have such a personal insight into witchcraft has heightened my understand­ing of spirituali­ty.

''It was an empowering experience to be surrounded by such positive female energy, and it was uplifting to be able to participat­e in their spells and rituals.

"I wasn't expecting to have a spell cast upon me, but when you spend the day as a witch, nothing is impossible."

Speaking about the experience, she added: "Being part of the coven really showed me how to believe in myself and to follow the destiny that's laid out for me.

Scared

''The witches, believe that nothing happens for no reason, and I believe that too. I knew life after Edwardo would never return to 'normal' and I'm OK with that.

"I believe there was a reason why I started communicat­ing with spirits, and I'm no longer scared of that. I'm learning more about different cultures on a daily basis, and life is such an adventure now!"

The witches presented Brocarde with a talisman to protect her against evil which consisted of three sacred elements that cannot be separated.

They also knew about her experience­s of being haunted by her ex-husband so they devised a special spell which aims to cast out evil and protect her from being harmed

by ghosts.
