things to do with spirit companions

ershiqi:

everyday things that require little to no preparation. all based off my personal experiences listed in no specific order

greet them good morning and good night each day

tell them how much you appreciate them from time to time

share meals. i just invite them all and tell them to grab what they like

actually cook with them if you cook your own meals

listen to songs together, they seem to enjoy this

take them grocery shopping. sometimes they say funny things

watch movies if they’re into that!

or watch youtube videos cause that works too (ask what they wanna watch)

dance with them (or for them)

sing! it doesn’t even matter if you’re bad as long as you’re having fun

read stories with them!

ask them to pick out your outfits hahaha

clean together with them! you can do the physical cleaning and they can help with the metaphysical cleaning

cuddle them in bed. or in astral, either goes

meditate on their energy. sometimes you’ll learn a lot about them by doing this, and it just feels nice to feel them there

invite them to any other activities that you think they might enjoy. really doesn’t hurt to do this

love and cherish them, don’t hurt them. respect them

Spirit Communication: Tips

winkingwyvern:

Here are some tips I’ve learned over the years about working with spirits. None of these include tips pertaining to communicating with spirits via tarot cards or a pendulum. This is all about how to sense and interact with a spirit without the aid of any tools.

First of all, as with anything, set up protection. This is a disclaimer I have to give every time I talk about anything. Set up boundaries ahead of time as well if you are dealing with a new spirit.

You’re sitting there and you get excited every time a leaf blows in the wind. “It’s a sign,” you exclaim. No, it’s not. You need to learn the skill of discernment before you start anything else. You will pick this up quickly the more you work with spirits. Not every waking thing is a sign from a deity or spirit. This will allow the real interactions you have with them become richer and filled with more meaning.

Quit trying so hard. The more you strain to hear or get in contact with a spirit, the more your mind will be closed to hearing or feeling them. It seems to be a stupid law of the universe.

When it comes to clairaudience, you can either experience internal or external clairaudience. Internal can either sound like your own “mind’s voice” talking or it can differ. External clairaudience is when you actually hear something being said. Usually the external clairaudience will happen when you are caught off guard and the internal communication will be more common.

The voice of a spirit will come quickly and all at once without giving you any time to think about it. If you are having a back and forth conversation the spirit will sometimes answer you before you can even finish.

A little trick I used to use was to just straight up ask myself if I just said something versus a spirit just saying something when experiencing internal clairaudience. I would ask myself in my head, “did I just say that”. If it was me who made up what I wanted to hear the spirit say (rarely, this was more when I started out) then I could say “yes, that was me talking” with ease. However, if I was hesitant to say “yes, that was me talking”, even for a split-second, I knew it wasn’t me. This may or may not work for you. Try this method or set up some kind of system like that where you can check yourself. Eventually you learn the pattern and will no longer need this for discernment.

Sometimes you won’t hear any words. You will get feelings and images of what the spirit is saying and your brain will translate these feelings and images into a narrative.

Outside of them talking, some will make sounds to let you know they’re around. While these are usually external sounds (tapping for instance), sometimes it can be a sound you hear internally. I’ve been in contact with one spirit who had a distinct and odd sound he made as he talked.

Outside of clairaudience, look for synchronicity. If you keep seeing images of snakes, hearing unrelated people talking about snakes, and turn on the tv and see snakes – something is trying to get your attention with snakes. I don’t believe in coincidences. However, don’t ask a spirit to show you snakes as a sign and sit there and strain your eyes to look for snake imagery. It doesn’t work like that. You have to let your subconscious find the theme the spirit wants you to find. This goes with the above rule: stop trying so hard.

Watch for flashes of light, orbs, figures, and movement out the corner of your eye.

Be very aware of images flashing in your head briefly. These are important. One deity I work with always shows me, very quickly, the bottom half of his face smiling when he’s talking to me. Once again, don’t try hard trying to force yourself to see any visuals. These should come naturally and will almost always catch you off guard and when you’re least expecting it.

Be aware of hyper realistic dreams and dreams that make an impact on you. You know, the dreams that you can remember even years later. These are usually riddled with direct messages from a spirit or any kind of higher being.

Spirits will often touch you. It’s just how they are. I have one deity that will touch my hair. He’s even done it in the middle of class. It’s how I know he is with me. It’s all up to the spirit. You’ll find out how they get your attention. The same goes for temperature change. Some will present warm or cold spots. Some will give you a boost of energy to let you know they’re around. Some energies are famous for giving off energy that makes you feel tipsy like you just started drinking booze. Take notice of all sorts of physical stimuli and recognize their energy signature.

Set boundaries. If you don’t want to be touched or even if you want to cut off all contact with a spirit because you are hesitant, ask them politely yet firmly and they should oblige. If even for a second they ignore your wishes you can either ask one more time, this time all business, or you can go straight to booting them out of your space. Standard banishing, cleansing, and protections apply.

Pay attention to your energy and how you feel (if you have a knack for feeling energy). Do you feel anxious or afraid when they’re around even if you are supposedly talking to a nice, non dark arts spirit? Be wary. Some spirits naturally and passively give off negative feelings that can cause anxiety, fear, depression, and other things even if they mean no harm to you. These are usually the darker spirits. If you know that’s what you are talking to, then great!

Spirits lie. They lie about what they are, how great they are, and can even lie to you about how great YOU are just to gain your trust. Learn the difference between a true compliment giver and a kiss ass if you get complimented by a spirit.

Don’t obsess over it. I love talking to spirits. It’s fun! It can become an obsession, though. You wouldn’t bug your flesh friend every waking moment of every single day, so don’t do it to your spirit friend.

Have fun and use good judgement. Most of all, be patient. It’s a skill you work at. It won’t happen over night. Working on opening your third eye, using sigils to aid in communication, using crystals and herbs, and other tools will help you even more. Don’t try to rush it. Let it come naturally.

Best way to get started with spirit work: Talk to plants (No I’m serious. Talk to them.)

magic-n-shit:

So I talk a bit about my spirit companions all too often and to be honest, it’s still a very new experience to me and I’m still learning a lot about it. I’m also learning how to travel astraly (which I’m getting a little better but still need a lot of practice). And I’m sure some of you have been wanting to get into it and don’t know how. But I’m about to share with you the best thing I’ve learned about trying to communicate with spirits:

Learn to communicate with plants first.

And here’s why I say this:

Imagine a hedge that separates you the physical plane from the astral plane. And to be able to get to the astral plane and talk to the spirits and astral beings on the other side, you have to get on the other side of that hedge. How do you do that? You can’t cut down the hedge; and you can’t walk right through it. You could probably find a way to go over it but that takes a lot of work. So what’s the easiest way to get there?

By befriending the hedge. And how do you befriend the hedge? By becoming a friend to all plant life.

Plants have a presence in both the physical and astral realm. You see a tree here, you’ll see a dryad in the astral realm. You see flowers, you’ll see their spirits. All plant life, big and small, make up the hedge. They border on the physical and spirit worlds and are the gatekeepers. They let those who pass who they feel are worthy. If you befriend them, they’ll open a path and help you. They’ll guide you and teach you how to work in both existences.

And to be honest, they have a lot to say if you just listen to them. The tall trees have been around a long time; they have stories to tell. The flowers love when you notice their beauty. The grass will teach you things from their perspective. Just get in touch with nature!

Befriend the animals too. They coexist with them and they coexist with you (when we’re not hurting them with our destructive human nature). The plants look after them, and if they see that you care for all forms of life, they’ll start to see you as a friend.

If you can learn how to talk and listen to the plants, then you’ll learn how to talk and listen to spirits. After all, in order to befriend the dead, you have to befriend life; no matter what shape or form it comes in. Even if you’re not a green witch, this will really come in handy.

I just got my first spirit companion!! I’m very excited to start working with spirits, I just did a bunch of reading and copied a bunch of links so we’ll see how this goes!

Low Spoon Spirit Work/Companion Tips

autumnhellfire:

12 Spirit Work Tips for people with low spoons, or just anyone who doesn’t have as much energy at the moment.

Tip #1 –Look at the stars with them

I really love to look at the stars with my companions. It is amazing after a hectic or stressful day to just sit outside and think about nothing with my spirit family.

Tip #2 –Watch Tv

Seriously just sit down, and decide on a show together. Ro is a huge fan of Peaky Blinders on Netflix, so I always try to watch at least an episode of it when I can with him.

Tip #3 –Find a YouTuber they enjoy

Ro is a big fan of beauty gurus and Archie likes to watch horse videos with me. Hyl seems to like when I binge watch music videos. There is something for every companion on youtube.

Tip #4 –Hum to music together

I love to sing but sometimes I don’t have enough energy to. I usually just hum while laying down if I can’t sing right then.

Tip #5 –Write a story with your spirit companion as a character.

I’m currently working on a story with both Archie and Ro in it and Hyl is gonna make an appearance in one of my other story’s. For me writing is super relaxing and low energy.

Tip #6 – Draw a Doodle of them

I doodle anyways so just channeling a little energy into what my companions might look as a doodle isn’t a huge thing. (This is a bit more high energy and is only for when I feel a little better than normal.)

Tip #7 –Cuddle them

My all time freaking favorite. This is the lowest of all the energy things. Its also pretty self explanatory.

Tip #8 – READ BOOKS!!!

Can you tell I like reading with my companions? Hyl and I bond over reading literally every day.

Tip #9 –Write a letter

Pour out your feelings, hopes and dreams in this letter and then show it to them. Also one can try channeling with their companion to receive a letter from the companion.

Tip #10 –Write a poem

If you are an artistic person or like writing poems this one is for you people that are blessed with an awesome vocabulary. Also you could write one line of the poem and they can write the next line.

Tip #11 –Play Hot&Cold

Try to feel their energy and use how your body responds as a way to detect them when they are nearby. It is super easy to turn this into a fun and entertaining game.

Tip #12 –Twenty Questions

Use a twenty questions app to learn things about them that you might not ask them yourself.

Sorry if this post seemed a little lackluster. I really had to push myself to finish it… Low spoon problems. Anyways I hope someone finds this helpful. Thanks for reading.

Branches of Spirit work

the-house-of-moon:

Spirit work is a broaaad term and there’s been many disputes about it so I decided to organize a list. If there’s a specific branch of spirit work that isn’t on the list, please do message me and some info on it! or correct me if I got some parts wrong!

RELIGIOUS: Working with an entity or figure associated with a specific religion. This can include the worship of a deity depending on the person.
Some examples include the Abrahamic God, Joan of Arc, Greek Gods, etc.

SPIRIT COMPANIONSHIP: Working with spirits bought from a companion store, usually binded to a vessel. Great for beginners because the vessels make it easier for the human companion to connect to their energy.
This is NOT slavery nor is the spirit forced into it. It’s all consent.

ANIMAL: Works with animals, living or dead. This could be for reconnecting to a once living being, deep appreciation for all animals and/or animal deities. Some examples are dogs, cats, birds, wolves, etc.

POP CULTURE: Works with living entities from a fictional realm coming from a book, movie, anime, etc. They are conversed as energy being put into the idea of them, creating their own realm and able to access.

ARS GOETIA DEMONS: Where the whole, demon summoning archetype came from. Works one or more of the 72 demons from the grimoire, Lesser Key of Solomon. Some may or may not consider this “Hell”.

ANGELS: Works or worships angelic spirits. They are often described with large feathery wings or halos. Often works underneath God(or similarly) but does not have to be Abrahamic or religiously tied. Examples are Shinigami(death angels), Fallen.

VAMPIRES: Works with vampires, usually Psy or Sanguine. Psy vampires feed off the energy of humans to sustain life while Sanguine vampires are the ‘dracula’ archetype. They do not need blood but some offer raw meat as an offering but does feed off the human when eating meat.

FAE: Works or communicates with faes (also fay, fae; from faery, faerie, “realm of the fays”). Fae is a type of mythical being or legendary creature in European folklore, a form of spirit, often described as metaphysical, supernatural or preternatural. Usually known as an umbrella term that covers many species.

DRAGONS: Works with dragons. Period. Usually known as a legendary creature,

typically scaled or fire-spewing; with serpentine, reptilian and avian traits, that features in the myths of many cultures. European and Chinese dragons are the most commonly known.

ELF: Works with an elf or a community of elves. Elves are mythical creature of various origins that is usually regarded as a good being that helps to make trees and nature good. Described to a taller human with long, pointy ears. Also considered very beautiful creatures.

ANCESTRAL: Works with spirits/those who have passed within their bloodline. Some may even work outside their bloodline with respect and permission from the ghost/human spirit.

CULTURAL: Works with spirits within their own culture or tied to their religion. Example of cultural spirits are yokai, Japanese demons.

HELL: Works with demons or spirits with relations to Hell. May or may not have relations to Goetia demons, depending on the individual spirit. Spirits may include hellhounds, lowborn demons, hellcats, etc.

DEATH: Works with the dead aka ghosts, those who have passed recently or awhile ago, helps the dead move on/guide them to dead. Also called a psychopomp.

MEDIUMSHIP: While they do work with ghosts, they have more purposes than helping the dead move on. Some functions include relying a message to the living, helping reconnect loose ends, etc.
Thank you to @pathlesspagan!

GUIDES/GUARDIANS: Works with their guardians/guides in this life. This may be a guardian angel, a spirit that has been with them for a long period of time or someone they trust to protect them or to guide them through a path.

ELEMENTAL: Works with spirits of the 4 elements: Water, Earth, Air, and Fire. It does not limit to those four but can also extend to celestial, storm, void, corruption, poison, etc elements.

SUN: Works with spirits that works, worships, receives and/or contains energy from the sun.

MOON:

Works with spirits that works, worships, receives and/or contains energy from the moon.

SHIFTERS/WERE: Works with spirits who have more than one form such as their ‘human’ form and ‘animal’ form but does not limit to those two and can have more than two forms. Examples include werewolf, werecat, werebird, kitsune.

Tarot and Spirits

ekonsine:

Doing a tarot reading through channelling a spirit’s intent:

Spread out your deck, in 2-3 rows, preferably on a bed or floor, or some surface you can sit on as well

Get yourself into a meditative and amenable state for spirit communication, make sure your muscles are relaxed/tension gone

Hold the vessel or signifying item of the spirit close to your most active chakra, sense and focus on their energy, let them know you wish them to channel a reading through you

If you have a specific question or a topic for the spirit, let them know the first one and give them a moment to contemplate

Hold the spirit’s vessel in your palm, using the grip of your thumb to keep it lightly perched there

Hold your arm out straight, palm face down, hovering in the center of the center row of cards. About 15-20cm’s above the cards should do.

Relax. Breath. Ground yourself. Let all tension go. Close your eyes.

Let your arm move in the direction it wants to go, be patient

When your hand starts to hover above a certain card, the vessel may or may not vibrate in your hand. When it wants to fall, let it drop naturally. This will be the spirit’s chosen card

If the vessel doesn’t drop, but your hand has stopped moving, that can happen too, let your fingers fall naturally to the card instead

Once a card has been chosen, you can open your eyes, and either look at the card, or continue from the start again with your next question

Some things to keep in mind:

Be as specific as possible with your questions when doing a reading with a spirit, to avoid it being interpreted incorrectly or to avoid an answer that is vague or unclear.

Don’t ask things like, “what are you feeling?” As the answer to this sort of question can come back to mean a huge variety of things that might not even relate to what the spirit is personally feeling, and might just be what they are witnessing or experiencing from you or their surroundings

Make sure to give the spirit time to mull over the question and to actually choose a card to answer it, otherwise risk getting an incomplete or completely invalid reading

Keep in mind that when doing a reading with a spirit, often it is a fraction of their thought that is channelled into the card, it may or may not be a direct answer to your question, and is often merely an observation in regards to something related, so make sure to listen to your gut instinct and intuition

Stay away from traditional card meanings as much as possible, and try to intuitively read each card the spirit pulls. They may choose a card for it’s appearance, or some small bit of symbolism that they feel best relates to the message they want to relay to you, which may or may not be visibly relevant to the question you have asked. This is by far the most challenging part, and why I always back up tarot readings with pendulum and astral work

Don’t get hung up on the “negative” cards, generally in my work with spirits I find they tend to pull cards of observation and guidance pertaining to you, and less about them personally, and especially if they are a spirit companion, they are very in tune with your emotions and energy and will wish to assist and support you best they can

Another thing to note is how highly aware spirits are, above our awareness, they are not privy to the sort of emotional ups and downs that humans are, for the most part. That’s not to say they don’t experience emotions, or strong emotions, just that they are generally more stable and clear headed about things

Also it is a good idea to back up the results with another form of spirit communication, to make sure the reading was as valid and true as possible. Sometimes the readings don’t come through true at all, or are weak, or the spirit is new or not fully there to channel the reading

Another word of advice is to do the readings yourself this way if this is a spirit you personally work with, another diviner might not be able to channel their energy as accurately, or even be so welcome to do so

Spirit Communication Tips

ekonsine:

Since I just opened my spirit companion shop recently, I wanted to share some tips for you guys! These tips will generally help in connecting with unbound spirits, but can be useful in spirit communication with companions as well!

Things to keep in mind before doing any sort of spirit work:

Believe in yourself, belief holds power

Let go of doubt, stop worrying about accuracy

Your intent holds incredible power, be aware of it

Feel and sense first, analyse last

Release all expectations of what will happen

Release all tension and preconceived notions

Balance your energy, empty your mind

Research personality ties of colours/elements/etc

Don’t rely on divination, especially not at first

As for the communication with a spirit:

Find your intent for spirit communication. Attempt to picture it in your mind, try to perceive it the best way you can. It does not need to be anything specific, but what you think is what you invite, more or less. Understand well what you want to draw to you, and make sure you don’t let your mind wander while you are doing this. If you wish to communicate with a companion, picture them, their energy, and what you want out of the communication with them.

You can also create a visual space in your mind to have your conversation in. This is more along the lines of astral travel, but you will receive the same sort of impressions, it just might appear more fluid. Typically this takes a lot more focus though and you’ll miss out on impressions outside of visual impressions. I don’t suggest this for communicating with a spirit that you are unfamiliar with.

Associate your intent with something physical. If you want to communicate with a spirit that is emotionally forward, you will probably want a spirit of the water element. Having a cup or bowl of water will assist in drawing a spirit of that nature to you by giving them another medium. Be as creative as you wish with this, whatever physically expresses your desire for spirit communication will do. In the case of a spirit companion, this will suffice as an offering or a gift to them!

Contact can come through in small pieces, or large chucks of information, and is often garbled and hard to process. Let the information come to you but don’t process it as it does. Also be patient! When just starting out you might only get the impression of a colour, or a feeling! Do not be discouraged.

Spirit communication can happen by request, but it can also happen quite randomly. Always be aware that a spirit can communicate with you at any time, if for whatever reason they are drawn to the activity you are doing, or your energy.

Some contact may seem insignificant, but don’t dismiss any impressions, even if they are simply of a certain colour or smell, they most always have a deeper meaning

Contact may be visual, audible, or sensory, don’t dismiss the medium of communication either. It can be a combination of all of the above, or even just one of the above.

Contact might not be triggered when you expect it to! Even a change in the weather, or a song on the radio can pave the path to having an impression or contact from a spirit. If you’re not seeing results, spice things up a bit, try a slightly different approach!

Go with your first thought of belief, don’t second guess or question anything, not yet anyway. Feel and sense first.

Pay attention to patterns and coincidence! Having a good understanding of mathematical probability will help you distinguish when a spirit is influencing your environment and when they are not. This is particularly useful during divination! I always know a spirit isn’t communicating with me, or is not at a good energy level to communicate because the results are random and don’t follow a pattern that makes sense. So I think it is important to keep an eye out for patterns and coincidence in your life, even though it is not directly obvious as communication, it is.

Write it all down, don’t think about it just write down everything that comes to mind, scribble all the impressions that come to you no matter how much sense they make at the time. They’re all puzzle pieces to a puzzle that you’ll process later, might be months later. Do not dismiss anything as not spirit contact if that is the first thing that comes to mind. You do not need to confirm it, just write it down! If it becomes a pattern that is your confirmation.

Hold off on divination until you have experienced impressions from a spirit, and have some understanding of their energy and a pattern of their behaviour. When starting to confirm your spirit communication with divination, ask questions you already know the answer to! It will take time to channel the spirit through a reading, so don’t ask hard questions until you see a pattern of accurate results. I wish it was as simple as just doing a reading with a spirit you don’t know, but it takes familiarity for an extremely accurate reading.

Practice all of this often, even if you don’t get results, results and better accuracy come with time. It takes a considerable amount of energy to receive information from a spirit, which only comes with practice and becoming accustomed to doing so.

I hope this assists at least some of you in your spirit work and with your companions! Don’t forget that my ask box is always open, no matter how silly your question might seem!

Ring Ring, Is That Your Phone Or Mine?

serapphire:

It’s the thing that gets you into a shop, and the thing that gets you to the checkout. Callings are what spirit keepers and human companions use to tell who wishes to come into their family fold. They are an important aspect of Spirit Keeping/Companionship, and so it’s essential that you know what a Calling is, what it feels like, and how to respond when your metaphorical phone starts ringing.

What Is A Calling?

If you have access to an individual or group’s advertisements of spirit vessels for sale or for rehoming, you are eventually going to receive a Calling.

Callings are what spirits/entities send out to those who they find to be of interest. It’s the nudge you get in some way to tell you that a spirit desires to be a part of your household.

A single spirit may send out multiple Callings to different people, until someone picks up the phone. This is the reason why if you’re too slow, you may find that the spirit’s vessel is sold the day you decide to seal the deal. A majority of the time, spirits and entities are open to the idea of many different individuals, rather than going for a very specific person.

What Does A Calling Feel Like?

So Callings sound amazing and perfect for those of us who are overwhelmed by the choices shops give us. You’re thinking, “how can I get in on this?”, I bet. However, there is no “getting into” Callings. Sure, you could send your energy out through a Reverse Adoption to do your own sort of Calling to Spirits, but nothing is going to happen unless the Spirit picked up their damn phone, right?

It’s essential as Spirit Keepers/Companions that we are able to identify if our own callings have been heard, or if one is being sent to us.

Callings vary depending on the person and the Spirit that is attempting to make contact, but it is agreed that these are just a few of ‘symptoms’ of having your phone stuck on vibrate:

– Sleeplessness (You just can’t stop thinking about this spirit!)
– Dreams about the Spirit (Even better if it’s a Lucid Dream!)
– Anxiety (You worry about going to the shop one day and the vessel being sold!)

When you feel one or more of these things, you may be experiencing a Calling. Other symptoms are based off of how the Spirit/Entity normally manifests. Are you finding that manifestations are taking place around you, that are not coming from your own Spirit Family or Unbounds? Double check the listing, and see if the manifestations match up with the Spirit/Entity in question.

*Bonus: Still can’t tell if a spirit/entity is calling to you? Most shops have a Reverse Adoption service, where they use your information to find who is interested in you from their fold.

Callings vs. Interest/Desire

Sometimes, what you’re feeling isn’t a Calling, and that’s completely fine. As humans, it’s easy to mistaken who is calling to us, or if our unconscious interest/desire in a species is making us perceive it to be a Calling. For instance, if you have an interest in kitsune, you’re going to believe that you are going to be called to more kitsune than fairies, when the reality may not be that.

Always make sure it is a Calling before committing to a purchase. Use your preferred divination method to ask the spirit/entity, or reach out to the Seller/Conjurer for confirmation through Reverse Adoption services. When taking in a spirit/entity that wasn’t Calling to you, it’s a common problem that rules will not be followed, arguments may happen between that spirit/entity and yourself/family, etc. It will be a definite sign of chemistry just not being there.

What To Do

If you took home a spirit/entity that you realize isn’t a good fit for your personality, lifestyle or family, talk to your Conjurer. Some may take the spirit/entity back, while others will give you the necessary information needed to rehome the spirit/entity to a proper Keeper/Human Companion.

If you have confirmed that a spirit/entity is Calling to you, and you have the financial/family means of taking them home… Go for it!
