this is an old thread, but something came to mind that i didn't notice before - everything was ok until she tried to undo the curse?
my whacked point of view (which can get you killed) is to attempt communication directly with the influence, but that's just me...

Disturbing stuff. I would have thought a shaman could take on any astral entity but this thing actually hospitalized him?
I've been hospitalized. it happens. in my case it was the result of being cocky and underestimating an entity.
anyway, i wonder how this situation turned out? Personally I don't know of any created entities which could do the sorts of things claimed here. my guess would lean more towards an actual non-human entity (like a "demon" if you like christian terminology/stigma). It would have to possess not only great energetic power, but also great 'know-how' to do the effects being claimed in this thread. which suggests it's quite old, rather than a recently made servitor. Plus the symbolism, snake with two heads, 3 swords, etc. it just doesn't strike me as a look which a person would think up, but a look which embodies underlying symbolism relevant to the entity.
I'm not really a fan of an angelic paradigm, but the basic idea of seeking aid through a benevolent but powerful being, sounds like a good idea to me. Personally, myself, I'd try to communicate with the "demon", and if that went badly I'd try to fight with it myself. or maybe invoke Brimo as a way to channel a big can of whup***. But that is probably reckless of me. For advice I'd definitely go with seeking assistance/protection from a friendlier being. I'd recommend a deity though, rather than an angel. the thing with protection & beings though, is that it tends to work based on having an *actual relationship* with the protective being, not just because you phone them and want something from them. So do bear in mind that you'd basically be asking a big favor of a relative stranger, and make your approach fit that. unless you already *are* on good terms with a deity or powerful protective being... but if that were the case I'm guessing you'd have already taken care of the problem.
