#conjuring spirits

Why should I go through a conjurer instead of summoning my own companion? Can I summon my own?

You can absolutely summon and conjure someone yourself! However, you do need to ensure you're skillful enough to handle anything that may go sideways. This is where experienced conjurers can be a good alternative option. You are essentially relying on their skills and expertise, rather than learning through trial and error yourself (which can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing).

If you're interested in conjuring an entity or spirit on your own, we recommend considering the following:

The act of conjuring is typically very unique to each practitioner and that is why most conjurers don’t publicly state their methods. Their method works for them but it may not necessarily be the best method for you.

Prior to conjuring on your own, you should be able to confidently say that you have a very strong ability to sense and work with energy of all kinds. Can you feel different energies, tell them apart from each other, manipulate your own energy, change the energy of the environment around you? Can you recognize the energy signatures of others?

What about communication? Can you confidently and fluidly communicate with different spirits, entities, etc using a variety of methods? Conjuring will lead to interactions with many different races and their abilities could have drastic ranges. It's one thing to communicate with someone who can easily and readily communicate back in a way you’re accustomed to. But what about if communication (as we are accustomed to it as humans) isn’t their strength? Do you have a broad enough skillset and good understanding of various tools to work around that and still effectively communicate to each other? It could be rather awkward if you conjured someone and then didn’t have any ability to communicate or interact with them.

Next would be protection—if you cannot confidently protect yourself then it would be disastrous to attempt to conjure and call others to you. How are your wards? Can you rid yourself of unwanted residual energies? Do you have a strong ability to protect and defend yourself and anyone else in your family who you may be inadvertently drawing attention to?

Another thing to consider is discernment—there are pages upon pages written on discernment, that do it far more justice than we could offer here in this little clip of a response. But discernment is unequivocally important, so make sure yours is razor sharp! This can include things like knowing the different between wishful thinking, your own inner narrative, thoughtforms, and an actual entity. Thoughtforms aren't inherently bad, in fact many of us have great relationships with them, but it's good to know you're not offering them to other people when you say it's an entity or spirit.

Lastly, do you have a plan for vetting? That can be a rather intensive process and needs to be quite thorough. Having a game plan and an extensive series of questions and list of things to look out for and avoid is a good idea to keep handy.

All of these pieces take time and effort to master, and nobody is perfect! Skilled conjurers have learned how to do all these things and more, but also have a strong understanding of their own limitations. While you shouldn't rely solely on shops for making spirit connections, they're a great place to start until you're confidant and skillful enough to give it a go yourself.

What is vetting and how do I know my spirit is safe?

Vetting is the process through which the conjurer determines an entity or spirit is compatible with the concept of human companionship as we know it, but it's also the time spent getting to know them, learning their motivations, making sure they are capable of and compliant with house rules, testing their manifestations with multiple sources, and ensuring that they are who they say they are. We ask them a lot of questions regarding their history, learn their personality quirks, as well as ask questions on their culture, their personal boundaries, verifying the abilities they say they are capable of, why they are interested in humans, as well as check that everything they are telling us is true. We observe them in their own habitat or home worlds, as well as invite them to join us in ours and observe how they react in various situations to a wide range of stimuli. We make sure that the information they are giving us over time corroborates with information they gave us during initial interviews, and that they are truthful and earnest in their desire for companionship. All beings we offer consent to the vetting process, and it is not harmful to them.

Some aspects of vetting include but are not limited to:

•Introduction Interview (Who are you? How old are you? Where do you come from? Etc)

•Safety & Verification Vetting (If your race is too aggressive? Are you who you say you are? Etc)

•Companionship Interview (What do you want out of companionship; Why? What can you offer? Etc)

•Manifestation Testing (Consistency of manifestations)

•Ability Testing (What are your abilities? Can you do what you say you do?)

•Temperament Testing (Checking to see if there are any personality red flags)

•Group Vetting (How do they get along with others? Are there energy types or races they don't get along with? Etc)

•Unscheduled Drop-In Visits (When they don't know we're watching, does their behavior change?)

•Exit Interview (Used to draft their listings)

As a general rule of thumb, our conjurers typically take a minimum of 3 months of vetting per spirit. However, for some races that we've been working with for well over a decade or more, the time frame may drop down to 1 month. We would say the average is 3-6 months, with darker aligned beings with moralities different from our own taking 6-12.

The idea seems delusional to me and somewhat dangerous (if you believe in demons / evil spirits)

I’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this. 

Here’s my opinion:

I think this is a clever way of scamming newbie or spirit driven witches out of their money. I personally find the idea of a “spirit companion” to be disrespectful to the dead and offensive.

Maybe I missed something, and this is all just one of those cheesey RPG things going around, but this whole thing sounds delusional to me. The belief that you can buy / sell spirits is ridiculous.

So again, what do you think?

<3 you all, if anyone with more experience has more advice feel free to reply!

Okay everyone, let's talk about SPIRIT SHOPS.

I am not a professional conjurer, but i have recently done some research on these shops. i want all my baby witches to be safe (and to be careful with your money). I don’t have anything against spirit shops, but i think as a baby witch it can be really exciting to see vampire queens in pretty bracelets and want to buy it without realizing the kind of risks involved.

Here are 4 things to think about.

1. Can you contact the shop owner easily?

What if something goes wrong, what if your spirit doesn’t like your location, what if it turns out to be something else, or what if you can’t contact your new pal? What if you can’t handle working with the entity you bought? you want to have good communication with the conjurer!

2. Do you really want to work with spirits?

Having a vampire in a bracelet sounds awesome but what kind of work do you plan on doing? Working with spirits and maintaining a bond is draining, really draining. It also requires quite a bit of knowledge.

3. Are you prepared to take care of the needs of the spirit, and do you have a plan if things go wrong?

Spirits require special attention to be happy. Some of them need special offerings, energy sources, locations etc. as well as a lot of attention and a lot of YOUR ENERGY. If you can’t provide these things what are you planning on doing?

4. Spirits can be hard to differentiate, an inexperienced worker might not actually know what they are dealing with or if they have done a proper binding.

Angel or light elf? Friend or Foe? Things like this can be difficult to differentiate. If the shop doesn’t have any information about the conjurer’s experience and if you can’t find any reviews you should probably pass.

Three Souls gets its name from the three souls involved in spirit companionship: the spirit, the conjurer, and the human. We currently have three lovely conjurers, and each one has well over a decade of experience when it comes to spirit work. You can trust that our conjurers have vetted the spirits found here thoroughly to ensure they are suitable for companionship. At Three Souls, we do not believe in forced bindings and pride ourselves on being ethically minded and committed to ensuring both the spirit and human companion are a good match, with the spirit having the final say on who they choose. We encourage you to have a visit with the preconjures on our site to ensure compatibility before purchasing a listing. You can find details on how to contact each conjurer in their individual categories. Alternatively, feel free to contact us on discord; our primary operation and space for business dealings.

What is spirit companionship?

Spirit companionship is the process through which you invite an entity or spirit into your life to form a deep and meaningful bond. Your relationship with your entity/spirit companion will be unique to you — some relationships are built on mutual interests, romance, magical practices, work dynamics, shared interests or cultural exchanges, while others focus on the truest sense of companionship: friendship! For those looking to hone their craft, learn something new, challenge their personal thinking, develop their clairs, fend off loneliness, or just meet a really cool being to forge a connection with, spirit companionship is a complex and beautiful experience.

Isn't it unethical to sell spirits? What am I buying exactly?

We want to be clear that we do not sell spirits or entities— we sell a match making service! You're not paying for a living being, you're paying for the time spent getting to know the being, vetting them, doing art (for Astra and Ember specifically), writing documentation which you receive when the binding is complete, and for any physical materials used in the conjuration and vetting process.

Non-consensual and/or forced bindings are absolutely unethical, and we are vehemently against such practices.

What is a binding?

Once you and a spirit/entity are paired, typically a binding of some type (whether to yourself, a vessel, or both) will be performed, which acts as a connection point between you and your entity/spirit. One way to think of the binding is like a bridge or a telephone number — it enhances your connection to each other so that you may more easily find one another and communicate on your own terms. Bindings at Three Souls are not in any way restrictive or non-consensual, and may be broken by either party at any time. When you receive your companion document, you will find an "About Bindings" section that goes over the nuances of how our bindings work.
