hello! just wondering if you had any tips on deciding on a direction to take with making spirit houses? or any resources you use/reasoning for your methods? feel free to share as little or as much as you want :)
Much of what I know about the crafting of Spirit Vessels has come from intense gnosis, but I also learned some of the basics when I was much younger, and read on the subject some later in my life too. As far as the broad strokes of their creation go, I can share a bit on the process here.
In my experience, the most efficacious and reliable vessels for such a purpose tend to fall into five basic camps:
Firstly, there are consecrated biological itemsâsuch as a skull or a mummified heart, kept within a hallowed container.
There are also physical vessels (such as a sealable bottle or pot,) which are filled with an array of specialized materials while undergoing a carefully orchestrated ritual of hallowing, before being physically sealed.
Another option that has proven useful is the construction of a Spirit Mobile (an arrangement of bones, stones, roots, and/or other items that are ritually strung together using charmed knots, which can be hung and worked with in the personal temple.)
I have also consecrated beloved items, such as dolls or figurines sent by clients, to serve as Spirit Vessels with very good results.
Finally, I have found that if the spirit which is being housed is a Servitor, then hallowed stones, buttons, or other similar tokens, can make very good Spirit Vessels (so long as the Servitor in question isn't too complex in its directives.)
Whatever the case may be, much of the work has to do with adorning/empowering an item in such a way as to make it alluring to the spirit in question. This applies to Spirit Traps as well, though they are differently programmed, in order to constrain the entity upon its entrance into the vessel.
