There are no “great spirit wars” or anything of the sort. I know people just love to predict when Doomsday is on any plane, or when “the veil will fall”, or any other nonsense, but it just isn’t happening and it never will.

I know that some people who are involved in small-scale astral or otherworldly conflicts may think they’re doing everyone else a “favor” by supposedly warning the rest of us about it, but the thing is: you are not. All it does is serve to incite completely unnecessary fear and panic and it doesn’t do anybody any good, and you’ll only look foolish after the fact.

So here’s everybody’s friendly reminder to just not engage in this sort of behavior or with people who perpetuate it.

I was worried that all my white, settler-descendant blood was going to have the Powers here write me off immediately (and frankly, I wasn’t gonna hold it against them), but I’m told that how I behave matters much more to Them than where I came from. That so long as I’m respectful and listen to what I’m told, I’ll do just fine, and that if I feel that They have some affection towards me, I’m probably right–or at the very least, They would make it abundantly clear if They didn’t like me.

During my agate-hunting walks, sometimes I’ll find myself noticing a particularly shiny rock, and feel as though something or Someone is very gently telling me, “You can pick that one up. It’s all right, you can have it. It’s very nice.” So I say ‘thank you’ and pick it up, and yes, it’s a very nice rock. Or sometimes I’ll catch a glimpse of something pretty or interesting, and feel that same kind voice saying “No, don’t bother looking closer. That one’s not for you.” So I say ‘okay, it’s not for me’ and move on.

(But I seriously do think that the spirits of the land here get a kick out of how excited I am about agate. I realize it’s everywhere out here, but we don’t have it back in Maryland, okay? I’m not used to finding gorgeous glowing red crystal chunks every two steps.)

(Most of my agates are pea-sized or smaller but they’re all so gorgeous and I love them all so much?? Thank you, Land!!)

I’ve noticed that there’s spirit workers out there that feel like they have to ‘save’ spirits and take care of them, which is all fine and good. When it is NEEDED.

A lot of people in spirit work for some odd reason don’t seem to understand that spirits have their own hospitals and healers, schools (or other ways of learning), communities, and politics.

More know how to ward and protect themselves, and I used to be one of those who was against sharing a spirits full name when in fact, MOST (not all) of the time, that’s their chosen name that they give us. Because we cannot pronounce their real names.

I’ve met spirits who’s names were literally like the sound of the wind, a feeling, and etc.

I’ve asked a few of my companions about their homes and realms and the respective beliefs and politics, which are so vastly different from my own.

You know what most of their grievances were? That [arrogant and ignorant- my words] humans who think they can just swoop in and start playing some sort of savior and mucking about in business we have no business in. Especially politics and their religious rites.

Ill admit, I’ve went places I shouldn’t have, because I didn’t know, and the locals were right in their anger. Some were kinder than others (a stern “You need to leave” vs attacking without warning. But the taste in the air was clear enough. “Intruder! Alarm! Attack!”)

There’s also a strange mindset of “I’m more capable of protecting you [the spirit] than you can yourself.” and placing spirits on this really high pedestal that they can do no wrong.

Spirits are capable of handling themselves. U less they are children, very weak and/or injured. But don’t assume they need or want your assistance. Ask first.

And about spirits having mental illness and disabilities, from what I’ve found in my time as a spirit worker, exist. It blows my mind when people think spirits cannot have sickness or disabilities (the high pedestal mindset).

EVERYONE CONSUMES ENERGY! EVERYONE WITH ASTRAL ABILITIES IS AN ENERGY VAMPIRE, INCLUDING EMPATHS. IF YOU THINK YOU DON’T, YOU’RE FUCKING STUPID AS SHIT. 

Yeah, there’s malevolent people out there who want to hurt you, but people need to consume energy to live. It’s like saying to someone that they should be vegan just cause they eat meat. Technically, it’s a part of daily nutrition, but y’all just be salty cause it’s eating animals. 

You ever wonder why you feel so run down all the time, for no goddamn reason, like you’ve slept a lot, etc.? It’s because you need energy, you need energy. 

I started feeling like this about the time after I awakened. So I was about fifteen to sixteen years old that I started feeling tired every single day. I awakened, I started using my power. It’s normal to feel that way. 

I am a full on empath, and I have other powers as well. But don’t let people let you think being an “energy vampire” is a bad thing, to be honest, it’s an extremely normal thing. Don’t let people say that you will suddenly become this thing if someone is feeding off on you. You’ve always needed to consume energy. 

Also, you will always need energy to function, always. Also, btw, yeah people may be “feeding off you”, but you do it too without even realizing. 

Hiya if you don’t know me i’m Peach, i’m a spirit companion since a year and a half but also a spirit worker since 5 years and in late december i’ve experienced my first lull who last for 5 months. 

The thing is, since it was my first lull my spirit family and I weren’t prepared for it. We practically never talked about what would happen if I entered in one. If you didn’t experienced a lull basically it feels like you start from zero again. You can’t feel anything about your companions, you can’t talk to them, you can’t do ANYTHING magical. Even doing tarot was kinda hard for me. But during my lull there was some times where I though I was going out of it, it last 2-3 days where I could use my magical skills but suddenly it was shut down again. It was like something was dragging me back into the lull. Maybe it was the universe who was showing me that I had things to do in the physical that were priorities or maybe it was the work of one of the goddess I follow. I’ll probably never know. 

Two weeks ago I came back from my lull and after a week or so I decided to start astral travelling again and I’ve found my astral space empty. The only two spirits that contacted me were my guide, Az a giant while wolf, and another spirit that i’ve conjured and started to vet, Raj a were-dog spirit. It took me three days to rebuild my astral space, to rebuild a home and to learning how to be comfortable with spirit work again. I was devastated and since i’m a very anxiety person (litteraly my body is made of 80% anxiety and the other part is water) i’ve panicked right away and assumed my spirits companions left me. They were probably tired of waiting for me, and really pissed that I was in a lull for 5 months and not paying attention to my spiritual life because I was h24 stressed and working on my portfolio for applying to some art schools. Plus, I felt two of my spirits companions while I was asleep checking on me and assumed that they knew I was out of my lull but were totally pissed so they left and were thinking about breaking the binding. 

You need to understand that at that point I was afraid to do something that will make them even more angry and make them break the binding definitely, I was so ASHAMED that they leaved and so scared to tell someone. I was so scared, I was so sad, I was really devastated that they leaved me. I was a wreck. I can tell it lmao but with all the stuffs that happened to me between December and now I was litteraly and wreck.

Last night @fox-sprt (THANK YOU SO SO MUCH AGAIN ILY) who noticed that K wasn’t in my list of companions that i’ve written in my bio for entering into a discord server messaged me and immediately contacted her. Turns out K was very confused and didn’t know I was out of my lull, like the others. They were just waiting for me to call them back when I will feel better. So last night we had such an emotionnal moment all together hugging and kissing and talking about what happened to them in 5 months !!! And they all moved in my current astral house this morning, we even enjoyed a pique-nique all together ! 

I’m writting you all of this because I want you to know that making mistakes happens. It happens that you can’t understand well what a spirit told you, it happens that you think something happens but it was your imagination. It happens that you go into a lull and when you come back you think your spirits are mad against you. All of this happens. And I wanted to write that here because I know how much tumblr community is about being perfect and when you do ONE mistakes it seems like everyone is sending you how you should be ashamed and stop doing it. Just because you’re not doing a perfect work doesn’t mean you should stop it. It just mean you have so much to learn !! 

And please don’t do my mistakes, if you have any problems with your companions ask your friends and ask people.
