ABOUT THEM:

A and I are fae sisters who will work with you to make sure you are the happiest.

They have a very high energy that will brighten and uplift you when you need it. Together, they can be a very strong source of magic and abundance! Attracting it to your life fully.

They will ease your anxiety and help you give a clearer perspective on your issues. (This works best when you have self-doubt, self-hatred, depression etc.) Attracting only positive feelings. You can also ask them to manifest positive people into your life when needed.

They possess fantastic healing abilities and can aid you in overcoming a variety of negative happenings and emotions such as toxic relationships, anger, fear etc.

They will cut long-term conditioning that prevents you from reaching your full potential.

They are easy to bond with, are very communicative and full of energy so you will be able to feel their presence quite easily. Beginner friendly.

Both sisters has green eyes and large wings. I’s wings are silver and gold while A’s are silver and blue. I is wearing a yellow & deep green dress with pink leggings and A is wearing a pretty light yellow dress with blue details at the bottom

I is the youngest sister, she is very girly and loves the color pink. She is very young at heart and sweet in nature. They are the type to distract you from your problems by making you laugh and inspire you to do something to get your mind off things (like drawing, watching tv shows, etc.). They also like to play pranks. They are best to go to for when you need to attract positive people in your life, a distraction or to ease the pain you are feeling. They use energy to manifest these.

A the older sister is more mature and can offer you valuable advice and knowledge on how to deal with your problems and ease with the pain you are feeling with magic.They are best to go too when you have more serious worries and need a helping hand or ear. A is also very girly and love stickers, coloring, and childish type things. However, she is very mature in her thoughts and actions. She can be serious when you are, don’t like playing games and get’s straight to the point. However, just like I, she is more of a homebody and enjoys a good book or movie. She can also be very playful when you are or when they sense you are in a good mood.

I and A do not like to be separated and would just need 1 vessel. Although you may experience some bickering on their part, as sisters do, they get along very well and have a very close loving bond.

I uses energy to manifest your goals while A uses magic. Together, that is a VERY powerful source.

I’s presence will be felt by a tingly warm sensation & make the room feel warmer. While with A, the vessel will be more cool to the touch and cool down the room. Most likely, they will be both there and you should feel a calm, static type of energy in the air. You will also smell sugar or roses. You can talk to them through telepathic thoughts, tarot, divination methods, pendulums, dreams, astral etc.

All about energy companions | Store |  | Testimonials here |

I keep seeing people approach spirit work like it’s no big deal. They’re drawn to it through companionship, demonology, angels, contact with the dead, faerie craft, tulpamancy, servitors, thoughtforms, deity worship, etc. There’s a lot that can fall beneath spirit work or be related to it in some form where people eventually end up looking at spirit work eventually.

What is spirit work?

Spirit work is the act of working with and communicating with spirits. Spirits can range in variety from fae, mermaids, demons, angels, dragons, etc. Then there’s subspecies of whatever species you may be able to come up with off the top of your head. They can be malicious or benign, humanoid or inhumane, lifelong presence in your life or a passing existence. They can be immortal, deities, sexual or nonsexual, weak and strong. Spirits are so diverse, it’s hard to label them all as a whole because of how many different species there are and societies with their own politics and way of life. They’re incorporeal and can be found around you or in the astral, some even within your dreams. They are as real as you and me. Generally, you want to be respectful and not treat them like Pokémon to be tamed. They are wild and free. This doesn’t mean you should let them walk all over you especially when they become a negative influence in your life.

Do you need to do spirit work?

Even if a lot of the craft comes back to spirit work in some shape or form, you DO NOT have to get into spirit work. When you get into spirit work, it’s like opening a door that’s near impossible to close once opened. You invite one spirit into your life, twenty more will come knocking on your door. It’s perfectly possible to cohabitate with a spirit and you not even know it was there. Especially if you’re not looking for them or actively working with spirits to learn to recognize its presence. Like any other skill, there are pros and cons to spirit work. It can be rewarding just as much as it can be dangerous. It’s very dependent on you and what you plan to do while exploring spirit work. Just because they are generally incorporeal doesn’t mean you’re invincible or immune to the consequences that come with working with spirits. You’re not a god and so long as you exercise caution, spirit work can be a great skill to have. If you choose not to get into spirit work, then awesome! Your path isn’t any less than anyone else’s just because you decide this line of work is not for you.

Discernment

Before you run off into the magical land of spirits, you need to be sure that what you see or experience is real. This is the single most important tool anyone can have and that is to be skeptical, to exercise critical thinking, and test it. While it’s nice to take people at their word, you should be questioning their information and confirm it with other sources and/or with personal experience. Research and understand what it is you want to get into and what it is you’re trying to interact with. Spirits can be tricky beings and lie or change their form to appear as other things. They will try to scam you for offerings or even mess with you because they’re bored and think it’s funny. Not every spirit is going to be like this yet it happens. And being able to discern between the lies and what you deem as real will be essential in your interactions with spirits.

Divination

You want some form of physical communication with spirits that’s beyond only using telepathy or what you think you heard. Two or three different forms of divination would be ideal to check your results against and even confirm. Personally, I like to check and double check for personal assurance. I use tarot/oracle as my main form of divination and check if what I’m interpreting is correct with my pendulum. I use this a lot to confirm that what I’ve experienced happened and to gauge a spirit’s wants or needs.

Protection

How adept are you with protection? This is personal protection, wards of a space, more wards to prevent lying, glamor, teleportation, etc. Finding just the right amount of protection because there is such a thing as too much. Protection is a huge part of what you want to have around you to avoid a lot of potentially large problems before they can become one. There are preventative measure for a reason. There’s loopholes you want to avoid in the making of your wards like ‘only beings with positive intentions can come through’ or using only light as protection. The problem with the first notion is that it’s too open. A spirit with the intention to ‘fix’ you can be considered positive because this being has the intention for the highest good for you by its standards may not be the highest good by your standards. That’s a very weak premise to build a ward. The problem with the latter is that it won’t stop a being of light from just walking right through your ward. Again, it’s weak. Wards can be tricky business. The best way to build them is to write them out on paper and then try to find a way around them to break your own wards.

Banishment

If you’re going to be interacting with spirits, you want a way to banish them if they break your rules or become volatile. Why would you interact with a spirit you can’t get rid of? It’d be pretty asinine to willingly come into contact with a spirit you can’t banish and then have that spirit refuse to leave. How can you get it to stop escalating and becoming a worse situation? You want different methods of banishment as well from energetic intent to physical means of banishment. You want tailored banishment methods for the spirits you plan to contact. If you don’t know how to banish a spirit, then you probably shouldn’t be looking to interact with them.

Cleansing

Spirits can leave behind residue that can attract parasites. They can bring parasites. What you’re doing can attract more spirits or more parasites. It’s a good habit to get into to cleanse a space before and after interacting with spirits. It keeps you energetically clean as well as your space.

Energy Work

I’ve heard of people weak at sensing energies being able to do spirit work. It can be very hit and miss. Energy work is what you use to be able to sense a spirit and identify them. Personally, I recommend you have some basis in energy work before getting into spirit work. It’s an invaluable skill that’d provide an extra form of protection and open up new avenues of interacting with spirits. It’d help to learn what a spirit feels like, their energy signature, and alignments to better be able to single them out.

Astral Travel

This is a skill that’s more optional yet I always recommend having it in your skillset if you wish to get into spirit work. A lot of what you learn when getting into astral travel overlaps with spirit work since you’re opening yourself up to traveling into different realms that may have spirits. Much like spirit work, you’re opening a door that’s near impossible to close once opened. Astral travel provides you with a space you can work in, to be able to travel to a spirit’s homeland, observe their way of life, direct interaction, and being able to ‘see’ what the spirit may look like.

Dangers of Spirit Work

Like I’ve touched on throughout this post, there are dangers to spirit work. You’re opening yourself up to spirits and allowing yourself to interact with them. You don’t know this spirit and they likely don’t know you. They can and will mess with you if it strikes their fancy. Spirits can hurt you in creative ways, pose as a deity, pretend to be from your past life, abuse you and use you. Spirit’s personalities and motivations are as diverse as interacting with people around you. You can’t predict how a spirit will act nor how things will unfold between you by beginning interactions. All you can do is take the precautions to protect yourself, your space, and those that matter to you the best ways you can. Be cautious and don’t put yourself in unnecessary danger just because you decided to see what happens. If you go out looking for danger, you’ll find it.

I hope this post has been helpful. I’ve seen different answers to this question of what you should or shouldn’t know when stepping into spirit work. I was never satisfied with the answers I’ve seen and often disagree with them. I hope that this post puts it into perspective what you should know if you so choose to get into spirit work. Better to go into it informed than to lack a basic skill because you were overzealous and ran ahead before you were ready.

YOU WANT TO START SPIRIT WORK OR SPIRIT COMPANIONSHIP ?

GREAT.

But maybe you’re asking yourself where to start ? So here is a post for explaining the very basic !

First what is spirit companionship ?

Spirit companionship is the practice to have spirits as friends but they can also be a guide or a teacher to you or whatever role they want to have in your spirit family for a period of time (It can be for some months or forever, but a companion is always free to leave whenever they want). A spirit family is how we usually (not always, it depends of everyone) call our crew of spirit companions. They are members of our family because they live with us, and they need dedication and time like every relationships we have. So as you may see, spirit companionship isn’t something lightly, it’s a huge commitment that ask a lot of work. But it’s also a ton of fun ! With your spirits you will experience a lot of emotions, and you will learn a ton of things, not only about the astral or the spirits but also about life. This is an experience i recommend to everyone if you have enough time and willpower. But not every spirits want to be a spirit companion, so be careful about that !

So a spirit worker is a person who have spirit companion ?

Not exactly. A spirit companion is a person who have one or multiple spirit companions. They’re sharing moments and experience life together. A spirit worker is a person who may or may not have spirit companions (usually they do but it’s not an obligation) and try to learn more about the astral, the different species of spirits etc. You can be a spirit companion, a spirit worker or both !

But who can be a spirit worker or a spirit companion?

Everyone can be, there’s no capacity required, only time and determination. You can have a spirit and bond with them even if you can’t astral travel, hearing or seeing them. A lot of people are asking me if they can have a spirit companion if they can’t astral travel or hear spirits, the answer is YES you can ! There’s a lot of ways to bond with a spirit without doing any of those things. Of course if you want to learn, it’s up to you ! It’s always nice to see them in the astral and hangout with them, it’s in fact one of my favourite thing in the world. But you need to know that it can take a lot of time (not for everyone, everyone is different of course), you need to be determined and not be disappointed to not success at your first try. For some people it can take months, for other it can take years and more ! But your spirit companion will always be here even if you’re not astral traveling. Of course some spirits can ask to their future companion to be able to astral travel or feel them in order to be adopted, but some don’t ask any of that. Besides those capacity, you need to know that you have to learn how to protect yourself before doing spirit work or having a spirit companion. If you can’t protect yourself, don’t start, learn first how to be safe.

Where can I adopt a spirit companion ?

If you feel ready I recommend you to do a lot of research about spirit companion shop. It is really important to choose carefully where you’re gonna adopt your spirits friends. Some shop (paid or free one) aren’t really professional and will not give you enough informations about your future spirit friend, or they will neglect the vetting process, etc. There is a lot of dangers. Try to choose a spirit shop where you trust the conjurer, don’t hesitate to ask them questions or even talk to them (they will not eat you but be sure to check the FAQ BEFORE asking questions because most of the time your answers are writing there). You can also found one by yourself but i don’t recommend it to beginners, because it’s really dangerous. You can be tricked by the spirit, they can lie to you, hide their real form, and try to eat you. So for now I would say to go to someone experienced, but meeting a spirit by yourself is totally possible and they can become your spirit companion if they want to !

That’s awesome but how can i know that a spirit will get along well with me ?

Search for a spirit that attract you ! Do you like their personality ? Do you have the same hobbies ? Do they like the same things as you ? Sometimes you can even feel something that we call “the calling”. A calling is when you feel a really deep connection with a spirit, you know immediately that you want to apply for them, it’s like love at first sight. It happens that you are the only one feeling the calling, and that the spirit don’t have one for you. Of course you don’t have to have a calling for applying for a spirit !

How can I apply for a spirit (if you need to apply) ?

Look on the pages of the shop, there is surely a post with the form you need to fill and submit to them. Don’t be afraid to write a lot about you ! The longer the better, give every details you want, talk to a friend, show them your life and who you are ! Don’t hesitate to mention your passion, your living life, or even to share pictures of where you live or what you’re doing or your family.

HEY HEY I applied for a spirit in a free companion shop now what do I do ?

I take the example of free shop because in paid shop you mostly have to pay and then the conjurer contact you. In free spirit companion shop, you have to wait after you applied because you’re not the only one and it’s the spirit who choose their future companion. Please don’t ask to the conjurer when they’re gonna choose, it’s just stressing the spirit and it will bother the conjurer as well. Don’t hesitate to send asks if the spirit is up for questions ! Share your day, tell  them a song that you like and that remind you them or send them a drawing. Be creative !

I just got choose and now i have a spirit companion ! What do I do ?

First, introduce the house to them ! Show them your room, where you live, and most importantly: read them your house rules. You really need to do a list of house rules even if the spirit got checked by the conjurer, this is an important step. Of course you can change the house rules at any time ! Now is the funny part ! Hangout with them, ask them to do things with you, listen songs together, bond with them ! Don’t forget that spirits require some energy in varying quantities, that’s what we call “Offerings”. Every spirit have their favourite offerings and they need them. It can be lighting a candle, dedicating them a song, an image that makes you think of them, food, drink etc.. BE CAREFUL ABOUT FOOD AND DRINK OFFERINGS: Every spirit have their own diet, so if you give them food that they can’t eat they will be sick. You need to be careful about all that ! Don’t hesitate to ask the conjurer for an health analysis (that is normally do during the vetting process) so they can tell you everything about their diet, their fears, their anxieties etc. Create wards if you didn’t did it yet, that’s a really important part too ! You need to protect yourself AND your companion, even if your companion is good for protection that doesn’t mean you don’t have to put wards or learn how to banish or how to be safe. BE ALWAYS SURE TO BE SAFE BEFORE DOING SOMETHING. 

The spirit didn’t choose me and I feel really awful…

I’m sorry you didn’t get choose, it happens and it can happen more than once ! But don’t feel discouraged, you can applied for another spirit if you feel a calling or if you feel you can get along well together. Take your time, you don’t have to immediately apply for another one, I know it can be hard to not be choosed so you need to treat yourself. Relax, take a bath, hangout with friends, do whatever you like and then get back into it if you still want to be a spirit companion !

Nickname:

Leprechaun

Species:

Maine Coon cat spirit

Appearance:

Quite small for a maine coon tom (male). He has soft, long, flyaway fur in black with a patch of white at his throat. His eyes are a bright green/gold.

Background information:

Leprechaun was a cat who waited all his life in an adoption centre for human companionship. He approached my spirit familiar because she wanted to help cats like him to find the companionship that she was lucky enough to find in life. He’s been well trained in magic by my familiar, who took him on as her apprentice until she felt he was ready for vetting. He worked with her alone from June to August 2017, but he still received refresher lessons from Dearheart while he was undergoing vetting with me. He likes the idea of building a relationship similar to the one that Dearheart and I share, but he does understand that it takes time.

How they would describe themselves:

Gentle, but I know how to handle myself. I always wanted a human friend or family, but I never had the chance. I’d like to work and learn with my companion, but I really want to spend time with them and get to know them.

How I would describe them:

Leprechaun is very sweet natured. He works hard and enjoys learning things, but he’s also happy to spend time having fun or relaxing with his companion. He’s quite laid back, but he isn’t afraid to speak his mind if he isn’t happy about something.

Magical abilities:

Warding, glamour magic, musical magic, astral travel/work.

Communication abilities:

Leprechaun can use pendulum, telepathy and astral communication.

Preferred family size:

Leprechaun would prefer to be a first companion, but he would consider a small to medium sized family under the right circumstances. He just wants to know that he won’t be forgotten or ignored, because he really does want to form a good friendship above all else.

Vessel required:

Not required or preferred, but he will have one if his companion needs one.

So, you are either interested in companionship or you have already taken the plunge and adopted an entity or spirit into your family… You may be wondering ‘now what?’, and this guide is here to give you the basics on what the next steps should be.

Be Aware Of Your Psychic Abilities

Very rarely are people born with abilities that are strong and do not need practice to keep sharp. A majority of people start with little to no psychic awareness, and everyone needs to practice to keep what abilities they do have in top shape. The psychic mind is like a muscle. If you do not exercise that muscle often, you will find that it will grow weaker over time.

What abilities are you interested in honing? Do you want to see physical manifestations and communicate through visual cues? Clairvoyance is what you will need to work on. Want to be able to hear your companion’s voice or audible manifestations? Clairaudience. Clairsentience is feeling your companion, whether it be through touches, changes in temperature, or pressure. Dream-Walking is another option, where you can use Lucid Dreaming to communicate with your companions through all the senses. Astral Travel is another popular one.

Choose which method speaks to you, and learn how you are able to adapt those abilities. We will create a guide on strengthening psychic abilities in a later post.

When choosing, you should also be aware of how your companion can manifest. Several shops list the potential manifestations of their companions, which can be a huge aid for those who do not know what to expect, or are adverse to certain types of manifestation. If you practice your clairvoyance abilities but your companion is better at feeling-typed manifestations, you may soon realize that communication is difficult between you two. Compromise is important within spiritual relationships.

Keep Calm & Do Not Worry

As a beginner who is not used to their psychic abilities, it may be difficult to not worry about whether what you are experiencing is real or not, but the thing about Spirit Companionship is that trust and hope is important. Don’t let anxiety concerning a spirit being fake, or the manifestations being ‘in your head’ get to you, as that will be far more damaging than if they were fake. If you received your companion from a reputable seller who has handled hundreds of customers and entities and as a history to back them up, ease yourself into trusting your conjurer and the work they have done for you. Once you are able to trust your conjurer, you will find it easier to trust yourself and what you experience.

Leave It Open To Interpretation

Always keep communication open. Messages may come in parts and not all at once, depending on your companion. They may say “I like ice cream”, but later on add that they don’t like ice cream with sprinkles. Always keep an open mind concerning the information you receive, until your companion says something to support or deny a certain fact. Don’t worry about your companion not liking something, unless they have told you in the past something of that effect! Keep an open mind, and don’t let anxiety about ‘offending them’ or making them upset, stop you from giving them offering, bringing them with you on errands, or other activities unless there is experience to support them not liking something.

If you are still unsure, contact your conjurer for confirmation until you are comfortable with your communicative skills with your companion. Most conjurers will be happy to give you information on what the being likes/dislikes!

Tarot, Maybe Not

As a beginner, I highly recommend staying away from divination techniques that will give you an answer even if the spirit/entity does not choose what to answer with. These methods would include Tarot, Oracle, and Music Divination. Because you are going to be pulling a card no matter if your spirit has chosen one or not, it can very easily lead to a situation where a card is pulled that does not answer your question. Stick to psychic senses before you move onto Tarot/Oracle.

House Rules House Rules are what keep things clear during your relationship. They aid your companion in knowing what is expected of them, and what will not be tolerated. Most companions are not intimately familiar with human customs, so never assume that they know not to do something in your household or to you/your loved ones. House Rules keep everyone safe and comfortable, and prevent miscommunication. You can read more about house rules here and here.

Concerning Offerings Conjurers tend to leave what the being likes within the profile, or you can contact them after a transaction to receive that information. Or, you can experiment! Until you know what your companion dislikes, offer what you can, and what you think they will enjoy. There is no harm in asking if they would like something, and if they don’t want it, you’ll know for the future! Food, drink, physical items, and energy are all viable offerings. How often you give offerings is completely up to you and your companion. They are gifts, and not required to be given.

Bonding With Your Companion

Please donate to: [email protected] via PayPal. Every cent will be used to pay the lawyer who will finally put this bastard in jail.

I remember clear as day when, ten years ago, I over heard my parents saying that my uncle had beaten my heavily pregnant aunt until she passed out and that she refused to go to the hospital in fear of what he might do.

He almost killed her, pushing her down a flight of stairs in front of my grandmother. My aunt, out of fear, never said a word about it.

Once he scammed his friends out of $15000 and escaped to Italy out of fear for his life, where, after dragging her to another country where she didn’t speak the language, he left her alone without a cent working as a dishwasher in a ratty restaurant in exchange for food and a place to stay. He didn’t come back until six months later. They got divorced practically as soon as they returned to Argentina.

A year ago he beat her to a pulp at her own front door. This time she pressed charges, and a restraining order was emitted against him to keep him away from both her and the kids.

He’s a powerful and well connected man. In his own words, he wants her to rot under a bridge, wants her to be so desperate she’ll have to become a prostitute. He refused to pay alimony for the last eight years. And it’s not about the money: he believes she (and consequentially the kids) don’t deserve anything from him.

My aunt is an independent and struggling professional writer and actress. She manages to afford the cost of living with her two children, but now he’s trying to take the kids away and she can’t pay the lawyers she needs to keep him from succeeding. His contacts in the system arbitrarily took away her children and gave them to his mother, a woman in her 70s, without a single psychologist or social worker being consulted in the matter, despite not having the authority to do it or the case depending on their jurisdiction. The police literally threatened to put my aunt in jail if she refused to go with them to the Child Protection office in another county.

Instead of taking care of them, my aunt’s ex mother in law gave them to her son immediately. So now, despite having a restraining order that prevents him from being alone with the kids, he’s got them in his house.

This is not only illegal, but also since we’re on summer break in Argentina, the kids have been literally locked in his place five days a week for the last two months.

This has proven to be horribly scarring for the kids. My aunt has been receiving alarming calls from my little cousin, age 9, while hiding in the bathroom so they can’t listen to them talk, since they don’t know she has a phone. The eldest, 11, says their father has told them that “mommy used to hurt herself and then lie and say he did it”.

My aunt has pressed charges twenty six times already in the past two months. She’s been advised to record evidence and bring witnesses that testify the kids are under the father’s care.

However, documents have started disappearing. I personally testified numerous times that I had joined her to try and see the kids, and that I found them with their father. However, there’s no registry whatsoever of my declarations. They have vanished into thin air.

Now more than ever she needs a good lawyer.

Simply scheduling a meeting costs $1000 Argentinean pesos ($50 USD). By the end of the process this will end up costing around $5000 and $7000 USD, but it’ll guarantee he won’t ever come close to her or the kids again.

Every cent she makes that isn’t destined to sustaining basic needs will be destined to pay for the lawyer, but we need help. My family and her friends have been lending a hand, but there’s only so much we can do.

Please, if you can’t donate some spare change, then share this post. Maybe one of your followers can. A single US dollar equates to twenty pesos, enough for a meal. Food and rent are very cheap here, so even if it seems insignificant, it’ll mean the world to us. It could make the difference between eating or not. We’re doing all we can to make extra money.

Please share and donate! We can make this world a better place by keeping this disgusting bastard away from my family!

GUYS I’M SIGNAL BOOSTING THIS

(Updated from this old list here.)

Shielding is a practice entirely built on your intention–if you want an eternal shield, you can have it. If you believe in your shield, it will be there. There are many ways that are incredibly powerful with just the slightest trust and a little bit of practice. As soon as possible, start to practice shielding and methods of spiritual protection, since practice, along with your intention, will create the most powerful shields. 

Also, you can never shield to much. It’s amazing and very empowering to have layer upon layer of shielding, and the energy and time you put into shielding will really save you a lot of energy and time in the future. Even just walking around, through crowds, cities, etc, drains your energy–negative energy is everywhere, and consciously seeking only the energy for your best and highest good will really, truly, and completely empower you. 

You can shield from anything and everything, just make sure to allow in things for your “best and highest interest/good.” ShCast every shield with this affirmation. This allows what people would consider “negative” emotions to still come through, so you can live a balanced life, since not all emotions that are considered negative actually are. This affirmation effectively only allows things that raise or balance your vibration, and help you to spiritually evolve. It won’t cut you off from anything necessary. Shields themselves will never overwhelm or smother you, since they are meant solely for your needs and will always let in positive energy. Here are some simple methods to begin shielding, but you can always adopt them with your own needs and intentions! Do what works for you, just make sure to shield when practicing spirit or energy work of any sort. 

Robe of White Light:

Focus for a moment on calming yourself, and once you have a clear mind, imagine a nice fluffy robe around you (I always imagine one like in the game Journey) made of white and protective light. This is the universe’s energy, and nothing ill can penetrate it once it is surrounding you.

It is recommended to repeat once or twice a day to maintain the shielding.

You can also use the affirmation of “I call upon a robe of loving and protective white light, knowing that it will protect me from all energy not in my highest interest. This robe protects me with the power of the Universe/Source/God.”

Guardian Protection:

Ask your guardian spirits (either aloud or through your mind) to protect you.

Always command that the guardians who help that they “come in light.” And if not, say they must leave. You don’t even have to know their name, but if they aren’t here to help, then they shouldn’t be around you. So just command this and all with ill intentions will be forced to leave.

Call on them for a need by need basis.

Auric Hardening:

Imagine your aura (trust whatever color you see in your mind’s eye), and then imagine it hardening, like it’s calcifying around you. It can get as hard as a rock, or like armor.

This can sometimes push away any energy exchanges, so you could feel more distant from positive interactions too. So, it’s best used when a threat is around

Usually lasts between 4 hours-2 days, depending on the strength of your intention.

Sigil warding:

Draw with a pen, marker, or with the tip of your finger (if you don’t need visible lines) a sigil with the intention of protecting yourself. A sigil is most basically an energetic line (or series of them) with an intention. The lines hold the energy and magnify the intention.

Here are examples

A post on sigil crafting

Shielding with Intention and the Universe:

Calm yourself with a short breathing meditation, then focus on what you intend to shield-yourself, another, or a place.

Imagine casting a ball of light towards the designated target, with the intention of allowing the Universe/Source to channel through you and shield whatever you intend to.

Just watch and observe as the shield is built, knowing that it is fully fueled by the energy of the Universe and will stay there, and stay strong, until the shield is released consciously by you.

You can specify this shield for certain purposes, like to only keep a spirit out, or to keep all negative spirits out.

Reiki Shielding and Protection:

In Usui Reiki, there is a technique your Reiki Masters should have taught you about warding and cleansing the room in white light. Channel Reiki energy to do this.

If you are attuned to Reiki II, you should know the 1st symbol and that it can be used to stop all energy that is not in your highest good from coming towards you, working as an effective shield when the symbol is called on.

You need to be properly attuned to Reiki for this.

Bubble shielding:

Similar to the white light or shielding with intention, but focusing on making and empowering a bubble around you.

Replenish this as often as possible, since this is dependent on your own care.

Can be in an oval or a sphere shape. If this is hard to get a hang of, then try just fitting it a couple inches away from your body, similar to auric hardening.

Waterfall shielding:

A bubble shield with the intention of existing on top of an underneath bubble shield. 

Focus on this shield and set the intention of having it move around like a waterfall. This way, someone sending negative energy has a very small chance of hitting the same place twice.

Elemental shielding:

All of these are built with a specific intention and visualization of the shield. Time around such element used will strengthen the shield, or a conscious meditation to draw the energy towards you and the shield.

Fire shield: Envision burning fire, that will destroy all negative energy/energy not for your highest good, when it tries to enter your energetic space.

Water shield: Similar to the waterfall shield, but with the visual of actual water flowing that can wash away all negative debris or toxicity clinging to any form of bubble shield underneath it. 

Earth shielding: This one can block off positive energy too, since it works more like a layer of earth around the person. Though, it can also be envisioned to only grow/manifest around you in times of need or when you’re being attacked or faced with negative energy. It can also block your third eye from seeing outside. Earth shielding can also work as a means of grounding you, which doesn’t have negative effects (as long as you don’t neglect your upper chakras). If you ground yourself to the earth, and your are harmed or shaken by negative energy, you can replenish your energy from the earth.

Air shielding: Envision a fast current of air around you that sweeps away all negative energy or malevolent beings.

Light shielding: A bright white light that totally purifies all energy that contacts it, similar to the robe of white light. Different colored lights can work too, but they all have specific purposes that you should research first.

Ether shielding: Sometimes this works like a portal, transporting all malevolent energy to another place in the universe. Just make sure to set the intention that things in your best and highest interest aren’t affected, and that the travel won’t severely harm anyone who is transported by the portal (since sometimes negative energy can come from just someone in a bad mood). 

Chaos shielding: Not always considered an element, but with the idea of scattering any negative energy–the sudden increase in entropy raises the vibration to something more positive.

Shadow and smoke shielding: Imagining either element around you, mostly for cloaking and making your energy less obvious. This is great for astral projection and spiritual travel when you don’t want to be noticed. You can infuse the energy with an intention of how you want to be perceived, like if a threat comes, then you can suddenly raise this shield and make the smoke cause you to seem dangerous, scaring off the opponent. 

Halo shielding:

Imagine a series of halos that spin quickly around you, moving to knock away negative energy if it approaches your space. This can be inside or outside of a bubble or light based shield.

Protection charms and enchanted objects:

Work made by you, when you have a lot of experience, in creating a sigil charm or enchanted object meant for protection. This can also be from someone who has passed down a family protection amulet (just research it and bathe it in light to clear any possible negative energy on it), or from an experienced energy worker making protection amulets, charms, or objects. 

All About Auras

An aura could best be described as the energy given off by someone or something. Supposedly, everything has an aura, even an apple. Many people are able to either see or ‘sense’ auras, which may appear as a haze of light or colour surrounding something.

The colour an aura appears can have many correspondences, which can relate to someone’s mood or spirituality, or can be because of external factors such as light intensity. It’s even said to be possible to tell if someone is pregnant from the way their aura appears.

Common misconceptions about auras:

It is always the same colour.  - This is untrue, as auras tend to change colour when affected by many different factors. However one colour may be dominant.

It is always the same shape and texture.  - Nope, they could appear hazy, smooth, or spiky. Some could have auras spanning an inch from their bodies, but others could have auras reaching out to a metre.

There is scientific evidence for auras.  - Again, untrue. Despite many people being able to see auras, there is no way to measure them or comprehend why it is even there.

Your aura is a shield.  - Whilst it’s possible to utilise your energy to shield yourself from things through visualisation, your aura alone is by no means a barrier against spirits and vampire-like entities looking to ‘feed off’ your energy. Learn how to ward yourself.

There is only one colour at a time.  - Your visible aura can actually be a mix of colours. However, there are also seven different extents of your aura, ranging from physical to spiritual, which could all be a different colour at one time.

It is especially important to note that auras are constantly changing. This could be seen as Anicca, or impermanence, in which the Buddha taught that nothing is permanent and everything is constantly changing. The aura reflects this truth in ourselves and those around us.

Seeing Your Aura

Some people are able to see auras with ease without a whole lot of practice, whereas others might never be able to comprehend the aura. It is common for many witches to practice with seeing their aura.

Here is a simple exercise which will help you to begin seeing your aura. This is what I tend to get people to do often when starting with auras. If inexperienced, it is important to practice often in order to get better!

You may want to begin by meditating or casting a circle in order to have a better focus on your aura. Make sure you are calm and in the mindset to concentrate.

Find a blank area, such as a white wall or a sheet of paper, and hold your hand out to it. It is important that you don’t get distracted by the colour of the wall or anything on it.

Rather than focusing directly onto your hand, shift your gaze to look just past it. For instance just past your fingers, but not the space directly between your fingers.

Focus on this space. To avoid distracting yourself, practice steady breathing as you would in meditation.

Eventually, you should begin to see a haze of light surrounding your hand. At first it may appear small and even colourless, but keep practicing and you will start to see it even better.

do you have ADHD? are you easily distracted? do you daydream constantly abt everything and anything? when you hear the words “you might fall asleep” in a post abt meditation, do you sigh and roll your eyes?

if you answered “yes” to any of the above, then this is the post for you!!

as someone who has type one ADHD and a crazy imaginative mind, I haven’t seen a single Intro To Meditation post that pertains to me. they’re always abt tips for visualization, or tips for not falling asleep within 5 minutes. I have insomnia you guys, I ain’t gonna be asleep in any less than 2 hours smh

without further rambling, here’s some tips and tricks for people who just can’t fucking meditate

1) listen to some goddamn music. preferably stuff you’ve listened to many times before, songs you have basically memorized so you don’t get distracted by how unique this new sound is, or how cool that voice was right there. listen to your favorites!! listen to songs in foreign languages, so you aren’t focused on the words but more the feeling they give. blast that shit through your most comfortable earbuds, tune everything else out

2) don’t sit outside. trust me. too many extra sensory bits and shit that you just don’t need rn. miss me with that wind and bugs and prickly grass.

3) tired of the “visualize a door” method? visualize yourself dancing! find one good dance song that you’ll only use when trying to meditate, and choreograph your own little routine! imagine urself dancing outside on a chilly autumn day- the air smells crisp and the leaves crack and almost hurt beneath your feet and every once in a while your arms hit a twig or branch. imagine it’s spring and there’s cold dew on the soft new grass and the sun is making your bare arms tingly, a warm breeze tugs at your hair and clothes. get creative! the hardest part is imagining yourself *in* your body, looking out, instead of watching urself dance like it’s a movie.

4) sit in the car!! oh my god!! do this!! the passenger seat of the car opens a world of possibilities, and you probably won’t even have to close your eyes because damn, look at you, you’re already off daydreaming abt god knows what and completely ignoring everything around you!! if cars are good for anything, it’s daydreaming. now all you gotta do is figure out how to switch your daydreaming off and turn meditating on.

5) school age witch? meditate in the morning on the bus. if you trust the other kids riding with you enough, do it on the way home too (warning: may suddenly find urself interrupted by flying paper balls or gross laughing. this is why we meditate in the mornings when everyone’s half asleep still)

6) it’s okay if a stray thought drifts in every once in a while, so don’t get upset over it.

7) your leg bouncing? scalp itch? eye twitching? keep bouncing it! scratch your head! rub your eyes!! trying to ignore these things will take more effort than it will to just take care of them. make sure youre comfortable

8) extending on that point, if you find your overall position uncomfortable, just move dude. it’s okay, just cause you aren’t laying with ur arms at ur sides and legs perfectly straight doesn’t mean you won’t get some meaningful meditation in

Visualisation is incredibly useful in witchcraft as it is the base of energy work. From this, you can do all kinds of practices.

You can use visualisation for meditation, astral travel, sending energy into objects and many other things. These will all be covered in the future.

So, how do I start?

Here’s a basic exercise for you to practice. It’s very simple and many of you will probably be able to pick it up easily if you’ve already done visualition techniques!

1.  You’ll need a very quiet area where you’ll be comfortable. Even lying in bed and putting white noise in your headphones is useful. Get rid of all distractions, put your phone on silent etc.

2.  Close your eyes and empty your mind. Your mind might feel like a blank sheet of paper, and you’re going to create something in there.

3.  Picture an apple, any old apple. Zoom in and see its shape,  it’s colour. Does it have leaves, more than one colour? Look at every tiny detail of the apple you’ve created.

4.  Next, take a knife and cut this apple in half. Focus on the detail inside:  the colour, how many seeds there are etc. The more detail, the better.

5.  Now you use your senses. What the apple feels like, smells like. Bite into it and taste it. You’re using visualisation to not only see the apple but understand everything about it.

Here at Aira-Divinations I try to offer a wide range of services for the best prices.But should you wish for an alternative to my services or a service I do not offer out I would highly recommend the following shops/readers. All these I have either purchased a reading from and can certify OR I have spoken to, got good vibes from and really want to try when I have the money. A * indicates I have not yet bought a service from them. 

@limunette*  This reader offers plenty of really interesting readings, so would definitely look into those! They also offer amazing energy companions and the orb of life, a kind of energy construct that I know would be really useful for all you energy workers and such!  They have a really friendly vibe and nothing but good reviews                                                                              

@chance-and-choices  I purchased an awesome energy reading from them a few days ago, taking advantage of an offer they had. It was intuitive and amazing, honestly. She offers the usual, along with really interesting handmade oracle spreads, and voice readings, which I am unable to offer for social anxiety reasons. The reader, Ember, was friendly but businesslike, leaving me with an amazing experience, and a remarkably attuned energy reading.

@witchy-kinda-guy This reader I actually know, fairly well, and I have to say he is one of the most wonderful, caring people that you will ever have the pleasure to get a reading from. I have had an oracle reading from him before, and it was lovely. He uses Tarot Nova and Mystical Manga decks, past life readings, and mandalas. The service I’d REALLY recommend (and I’m saving up for!) is his astral clothing, so have a look at his services!

@fox-sprt* While I haven’t purchased from fox I would def buy one from her! Not only does she do all these awesome readings - (heart readings, aura readings, pet energy readings, heart reading ART, rebel card readings, astral creations) but she also is a mod at the loreili-of-the-rhein spirit shop so yay. 

@scarletprophecies * literally just opened, but I vaguely know the person who runs it, and they’re a pretty cool person! Not only do they offer readings,,,,,but online reiki sessions!!!!! Definitely on my wishlist now. 

@catalinechan offers awwwesome pokecard readings. I got one recentishly and it was super accurate! Go buy one right now!!!

If you want to be added to this list feel free to message me! This post is mainly for promoting PAID small-time readers however so don’t ask if you only offer free readings!
