I did something similar with some old books I had inherited from previous generations, including one ancestor in particular who I am pretty sure was attached to them, and her energy was quite negative (I have more evidence than just my own sensing for knowing that about her). Although it felt a bit strange as a person who has degrees in English and is a lover of literature, with the help of a friend I loaded all those old books into boxes and took them to the dump! Some kind fellows helped me unload them, and when they looked inside they were startled that I was disposing of all these books of literature and poetry, with leather covers, some embossed in gold with my ancestor's initials. Getting those books out of the house lightened things up considerably! I'm now using the glass-front cabinet they were in for my home apothecary, herbs, tinctures and cordials.
I so resonate with this, Betsy. I love my books and have several bookcases of treasures but after the lockdown when I had been down all the rabbit holes and re-learned everything, I went through them all and had to get rid of many of them which broke my heart in a way. So much work I had put into reading them and making my notations as I do in all my non-fiction books. It turned out to be a relief though and I'm so glad I did it. Now I am very wary of buying books - especially books about Nature whose authors promote Climate Change - sometimes quite surprisingly so and whose work otherwise is second to none.
Yeah, I hear you on that. I read a LOT between 2010 and 2020 which I would not even give a second look now. Think of all the amazing things I haven't read yet! ARG.
Absolutely, it made me realise the extent of the propaganda and how it's been sneaked in across so many disciplines. Most books I read are about Nature currently and I was concerned at one point that they would all be tarred with the same brush. Fortunately, I am finding this isn't necessarily the case but you have to be vigilant.
Did you feel the negativity would have lingered if you had donated them to a school or college for literature? I have the same problem with huge negativity coming from neighbours I don't know but can feel, and a spirit that died here before I moved in...it can be very invasive.
Yes, I had the thought that anyone I gave the books to, I would quite possibly also be giving the negative ancestral energy. But some of the books were already crumbling, they were so old. Even the intact ones would probably have been declined by any institution. So that made it not such a hard decision to dispose of them.

Sometimes the energy is just that thick. It feels better, so you know you did the right thing!! 🙏🏻💜💫
