Nature of Spirits
Spirits aren’t the rare spooky encounter you hear about in haunted locales. You likely sense them on a daily basis. When you sense someone walk into a room, the sense of presence, their personal energy is a spirit. It’s just a level of being. In fact if you are inclined to visit parks or other…

Interpretation of Spirits
When you sleep some people think of it as a low energy state, but in fact it’s a high energy state. And the body behaves as it does because it doesn’t exactly have a tolerance for such intense energy. As you slumber your memory of the day does play out, as that is one of…

What Spirits to Ask?
Just as you wouldn’t ask me about Europe (me being an American and not well traveled), you should focus any spirit communication on spirits connected to what you seek to understand. That “live there”, so to speak, since omniscience is not possessed by any individual being. Omniscience only exists as the field of all awareness.…

Co-Creation with Spirits
There is co creating with specific non-incarnated entities. It is common, and it is the foundation of concepts that motivate things like Japanese filial piety. They work with us all the time. They tend to work more than we do. The Japanese observe death related religious practices, because they believe they still affect our lives. They…

Governing Spirits
I won’t be talking about angels in a traditional sense, but more as a universal phenomenon. In every culture there have been perceived to be governing spirits if not absolute sovereigns of the world. Guiding intelligences that seem to preside over every aspect of the universe, and I do mean universe. In later Greek reckoning…

Law of Sympathy with Familiar Spirits
We can perhaps call a familiar spirit if none have noticed us, and we can also select as well? One might not have the qualities I’m looking for. Yes, actually. If you want to connect more with say a primal force, you can open yourself to storm spirits. The progression of a familiar bond is…

Abode of Spirits
The Chinese New Years celebration, their own version of the day of the dead ritual, has its origin in Bon. The new year for Bon is the same as the Chinese New Year, and their lunar calendar arose from it. The people of the lowlands were more fractured, while the tribes of the Tibetan mountain…

Fey Spirits
Fey dwell in the wild. They live in a sense as the spirits of the wild, but they aren’t exactly what humans see them as. They parallel physical nature, but they are not confined to it. You may have actually noticed this. Ever been in a far removed meadow? One little trafficked by humans? Fey sing,…

Aware of Spirits
Usually children or pets tend to be aware of the world differently. The young animals that have bonded with people, and the children not brainwashed by imperialistic schooling. So often, someone who has a surviving pet, or a child that was born just before the death of a family elder, will see the departed person. I…

Homes Of Spirits
On the subject of (for lack of a better term) “idols”. Images of gods and spirits. Those cultures that don’t use them mistake them for literal identification, all the while using images themselves to feel connected to their “saints”. In Native culture, the images were seen to be homes for the spirits, but so was…

Spirits In The Body
The most common experience of spirits in the body would be elementals. Maybe the most common spirit invocation you might have already experienced would be an earth elemental. Just a spirit of the earth. They don’t make a lot of mental noise, but they enter your body space to balance its share of earth energy…

Helped And Helping Spirits
To summarize, in conjuration you try to use your knowledge of the spirits to affect their behaviour outside of you. Like a chemist looking for a specific reaction. In invocation, you open yourself to them with the intention of working with them rather than swaying how they work. I can summarize the purpose of invocation…

Knowing The Spirits
The Shaman comes to know the spirit personally, and they learn more than just how the spirits affect humanity. They learn how the spirits relate to each other, and just as when a fight breaks out in a tribe, a little bit of reason can lead to peace being restored. They saw troubling events in…

Engage The Spirits
I remember reading about how DNA can change inside an organism. It’s not as fixed as people think it is even in a life span. This is an established fact, and an otherwise stable gene may have no physical impact on you, because when the right material bonds to that gene it gets shut off.…
-
Communion with the Spirits
They say in conventional scientific circles that we perceive figures and patterns where there are supposedly no such thing. So as they began to discover the runes, the word rune itself roughly translates as “mystery”. It likely felt as if there was a spirit speaking through the figure, even perhaps a god. Some of the…

Spirit In Spirits
To anyone new to my Dark Metaphysics classes, the topics tend to run darker than you may be accustomed to hearing. No offense is implied or intended and this class is only offered as a way of broadening ones view of things people often otherwise find scary. That being said, shall we begin? Is everyone…

Spirits Thriving in Conflict
Do our things appear to be fearless? Has it never seemed like the leaf is afraid of falling even though it’s “dead”? Ever have a personal item that though you chronically misplace, it keeps seeming to show up on its own in places you swear you never put it? My daughter lost a pocket knife,…

Inspiring Spirits
I won’t be speaking specifically of Greek goetia today. The understanding transcends Greek culture and even much of the original Greek lore is lost or unaccounted for. Have you noticed how common references to something being “in the air” are these days? Even more contemporary thinkers have made comments along the lines of ideas coming…
