#negative spirits

I'm a tad confused about this whole "negative/evil spirit" and "trickster spirit" concept.

In my decade-ish years of being a pagan, I've never encountered these so-called spirits or "seen" them impersonate a deity.

In fact, the first time I even heard of this concept was via Witchblr, in books by primarily-Wiccan authors, and Wiccan-based sites like Witchipedia (don't lie, we all know it's primarily Wiccan-based).

So where did they get this idea from? Did Gerald Gardner pull it out of his ass? Did it come later with a different but still influential author? Did it come from earlier, like, say, Aleister Crowley's writings? Is it from one of the many, many cultures that Gardner and other early Wiccans pulled from?

If you have had a malicious encounter with a god, demon, angel, etc. it is very likely that you have actually come into contact with a malevolent imposter. This is unfortunately very common, but there are ways to recognize signs of these evil entities.

A very common type of malicious spirit is something that I call a “tar spirit” due to how they appear like large intestines made of tar and have many mouths. They tend to smell like tar as well. However, they like to disguise themselves as gods or demons very often in order to seduce people and secretley use them to breed with. These are spirits associated with malicious activity that latch onto people in order to spread tar upon their targets, causing health issues and generally weakening the individual. 

The tar spirits originate from all the passions on which sentient beings have no control or way to balance, as well as the painful attachments which lock parts of the unconscious to spiritual energy, thus forming these shadowy nuisances. You can routinely astrally burn them or use sigils/glyphs in talismans against them. They may be the easiest category, but they come in large numbers and will attempt to hold you down and/or cause feelings of suffocation, mental distress and other unsettling experiences.

What are some ways to recognize tar spirits?

A deity, demon, etc. tries to convince you to marry or have sex with them when you hardly even know them. Tar spirits routinely manipulate unsuspecting humans into reproducing for them, or even forcing themselves upon others.

They tell you that you are very special and not like other people (they may say you’re a god, you have a special destiny, you are their own prophet, etc.)

They don’t let you speak/work with anyone else

They are toxic and manipulative towards you in general

There are also malicious Shells, who are formed in the Abyssal pouches, half-formed from “recycled” spiritual material in semi-useful forms. They have only rudimentary intelligence and they are pre-programmed like robots. They will probe your defenses and they will attack mindlessly without mercy. They are often unrelated at your own energy levels or what you do, but their chances to succeed in their attack are diminished if you take adequate precautions. They are different to astral parasites; parasites tend to be passive mostly, latching on to the unfortunate who came upon them. Exceptions do occur, however they are generally far less dangerous than the programmed shells.

And lastly (though there are certainly more types of malicious entities than just these three), there are also angels of the Usurper, who like to oppress and carry out his will upon Earth. They are excellent hunter-seekers and they will make your life a misery if you deviate from the Usurper’s edicts. One should avoid much to do with them, unless you wish a major battle. It is likely that you win, however this will only draw more of them to you, and you will turn from a ‘nobody’ to a ‘person of interest’. 

In order to rid yourself of these malevolent angels, you can use guile to convince them that you are repenting, and that you are willing to change. They usually leave you alone for a period, before checking back on you. Of course, you can also destroy them in the astral which is much more fulfilling, but also quite difficult since it requires enormous energy reserves and a person to be an experienced Witch. Though please note that these malicious angels are moreso robotic, unlike normal angels such as Mikael, Raphael, Gabriel, etc. The latter angels are benevolent and do not tolerate these horrible actions.

How can one avoid negative entities overall?

Ward your room. Create a fiercely protective energy from yourself and allow it to explode and fill your entire room- no gaps at all. You can also program the ward with your intent in order to have it allow certain spirits in or only your deities/guides. The ward should be remade about every 2 weeks, as it will weaken.

Cleanse your crystals every now and then, in order to make sure no negative spirit will latch onto them.

Take salt baths and carry cleansing incense around your room (this is especially useful to keep away little energy parasites).

Request a close deity of yours to help keep watch over you and protect you from such dangers.

Spell to Exorcise the Shades of the Dead

May 9 was the festival day of the Roman Lemuria, a feast in which the head of each household performed rituals to send away malevolent spirits. If you think an unhappy spirit is hanging around, do this working to get rid of it.

Do this spell outside at night, when it's fully dark.

You will need:

A bag of dry black beans

A bronze bowl

Stand outside your front door and remove your shoes, holding the beans in the bronze bowl.

Walk around your house in a counterclockwise direction, tossing the beans over your shoulder as you travel, saying:

With this magic, I send you away

With this magic, I redeem me and mine

With this magic, I redeem my household

Repeat this incantation nine times as you circle the house.

By the time you returned to the front door, the bull should be empty. Stand at the door and banging loudly on the bottom of the bowl, saying nine times:

Spirits be gone, shades be gone, ghosts be gone!

Put on your shoes, go back inside, and close the door without looking behind you.

Hoo boi strap yourselves down I’m about to tell you about some wild rides. Some were negative. Others positive.

My very first experience started in my own home. Things had been moving at times, even once my perfume bottle moved off a shelf and shattered on the floor. I had a friend come and try to sense what was going on, and the moment she went into a corner, a blast of air flew into my face and physically blew back some of my hair. At that point we were on the move. We contacted another friend, S, who was a spirit worker and drove to her place. On the way back to mine, we drove to the local witchcraft shop for supplies. While stuck in traffic, I began to feel my mind clouded, and like I was going to pass out. Images of violent actions towards my friends began to project in my mind. As soon as I walked into the store, it all went away. We managed to get to my house and immediately cleansed it thoroughly as well as the car and myself. I set up a banishing candle and let it stay lit for a few hours.

The negative stuff ceased, but things still felt odd.

We brought in S’s mother, who had more experience, and she came to the conclusion that we had in fact banished a negative entity, but there was another one that stuck around. The spirit of a young boy who had followed me home thinking I was his older sister. I bought him a blue ball and would play with him until he was ready to pass on.

Now that was my first experience. The second was due to my own stupidity. PLEASE be careful and not follow my example in the next story.

I decided to go on a “cool” witching hour tour of a graveyard that I was fully aware of having legends of negative entities walking around. Not only that, it was a full hunter’s moon. Things were in high energy. I went with my friend, armed only with unprogrammed clear quartz crystals and a bundle of sage in the car. I had no idea about warding at the time. We wandered around for a bit, stopping only when I physically saw two red eyes staring at us from not too far of a distance. We immediately made our way towards the exit, and both physically heard a loud growl. We then ran. My friend tripped, his leg pulled by something, and we made it out. We then traced around the cemetery, holding our breath when there were gaps in the bushes that made up the “fence”. Finally, we were close enough to the car. My friend gave me his quartz crystal and went to the car inside the cemetery grounds. As I waited, I felt like I was being possessed again, ready to pass out. I fought the entity off until my friend got back to me with the car, and we left.

After cleansing ourselves thoroughly with sage, we found three scratch marks on my friend’s leg, a sign that he had been scratched by a demon with malicious intent.

Oh...boy....this was a YEAR ago.....

If This Applies to Anyone: 

Just tell them: 

1) To Cross Over

2) You Can’t Help them

3) They need to Let Go

Anything else is on Your End: 

1) Use Sage or other Cleansing Practices

2) Cut Toxic Habits and People out of your Life (They’re attracted to the negative energy) 

3) Work on making yourself Happy.  (to, again, not attract Negative Spirits and have them move on) Make sure you keep a Can-Do and Positive Attitude and progress to being Good to yourself!

I know this sounds, like, Generic, but this generally work for me.

Oh, boy!  Where do I even start?   I think I’ll have to divide it into different Categories.  

OTHER SIDE SPIRITS: 

Spirits that have crossed over to the Other Side generally look like us.  Not because our physical bodies match their form, but because they want to match the bodies we have here on Earth.  It’s just popular is all– they’ve grown accustom to it, and it’s just grown on them.  (We, too, on the Other Side, do the same for the most part).  Spirits, in General, don’t have a Gender at all– not a physical one (as we don’t have physical forms), but we, and Spirits on the Other Side, actually appear in a spectrum somewhere from Masculine to Feminine— some are at the extreme ends, some are somewhere in the middle.  Some identify similarly with the pronouns we created here on Earth, some stick with gender neutral ones, or some just go with, “I’m Feminine/Masculine/Androgynous, but call me whatever.”  I’ve seen spirits from the Other Side who look like men or women, who I call “Brother and Sister,” but I still refer to them in the general “they” (they don’t mind).  They just pick a form that is their “ideal” appearance— whatever it may be (petite, stout, tall and lanky, red hair, freckles, skin black as soil, ect).  Technically they can change their form at any time, but we all have our “preferred” form on the Other Side that we just generally stick with as most spirits do.  There’s one thing in common though— most of us for some reason, ideally, like to look like we’re exactly 30 years old, no older or younger.  (The only exceptions are the “older” spirits, who stay and help Manage on the Other Side, not born if ever, and they look to be about 40).    We also don’t need anything to sustain our forms either— no hunger or drink or sleep (but you can actually still eat and sleep or whatnot if you simply want to).

Growing up, However, when Spirits from the Other Side used to visit me when I was a kid, they’d make themselves look like my age so I’d be more comfortable, or they’d make themselves elderly or take on a form I’d recognize (like, my grandfather might look different on the Other Side, but when he appears in front of me, he takes on the form of what he was in this life).  But that’s only when they come to visit Earth, and they just want to make things easier for those who they appear to.  (After all– we’ve lived a thousands+ lives, so we’ve had that many human forms to work with) 

There’s Spirits that actually don’t take on a Form that looks like our Human Bodies on Earth— and instead they’re just Balls of Light and Energy, and nothing more, that’s it.  Since we can all sense who they are by their essence, we can tell everyone apart— so no confusion if there’s three balls of light hanging around each other.  Father God does this— he refuses to take a form other than a ball of light just because he’s just like, “Nah, don’t feel like it.”  The ball of light and energy is our “natural” form.  We all started like that before taking a Human for became trendy.   

One thing, however:  Human spirits stay human, Animal spirits stay animal spirits.  The forms they take sort of stick with that criteria.  (No human into turtle or flower, or lion or tree into Human).  That’s just how we were made.

A Theory I have, too, we don’t naturally have wings like that’s often depicted.  I’m not sure where that came from— but I have a theory it was meant to be symbolic or maybe it was another “trend” at the time that just stopped.  (I’m guessing more symbolic rather than literal).

You may have noticed I’ve used “We” a lot.  That’s because, technically, every living creature on earth—humans and animals and bugs and such— are all Spirits that Came from the Other Side.  Most of us just came and are born into this world— but when we pass on, cross over, and return to the Other Side, we are still “Other Side” Spirits.  Other Side is our home an origin, so—that’s technically what we’re like when we’re not on Earth.  (I hope this all made sense?)

EARTH-BOUND SPIRITS/NON-CROSSED OVER

I’m referring to spirits who were born into this world, died, but haven’t crossed over to the Other Side— who haven’t returned Home yet.  Generally, they take on the form of their physical body they were last in.  If I were to die this instant, until I cross over, I would still look like how I do now.  

An additional thing that might be added to this sometimes, depending on the Spirits Emotions, they’ll take on the EXACT look when they had died— which can get creepy.  A drowned little girl once visited me at 3am, waking me up, looking all wet and like a drowned corpse (THAT was fun)— she wasn’t dark or mean or anything, and she wasn’t just trying to scary me either, she was just still sad on the fact of what happened to her.

That’s why I say sometimes you can’t let Spirits scary you– sometimes that’s not their intention at all, and it’s just their feelings being revealed in that manner.  

By the way— if you see a Spirit that obviously haven’t crossed them over, comfort them and convince them to do so.  For some reason, since we do get “Amnesia” and on’t remember the Other Side or have become so Disconnected from it, Spirits get nervous of crossing over, or sometimes they think that there’s still unfinished business left over for them to do and they’re not ready— you just have to tell them everything will work themselves out and they need to cross over so everything will be okay.  

DARK/NEGATIVE SPIRITS

These are Spirits who absolutely refuse to cross over to the Other Side out of Bitterness.  Sometimes, they’re even the spirits that get born into this world to do bad things, die, and get reborn again, or they’re spirits that stay in their spirit form (without reincarnation) and try to “scare” and make other people here on earth miserable by use of their energy. 

I’m not sure if this is how it is with everyone— but I noticed a trend with spirits both with and without a physical form:  I notice they have dark dark circles under and around their eyes.  The darker the circles, the more negative they are— the more anger, bitterness, greed, jealousy they have.  (I don’t know if I should talk about this, and I’m not sure how many people know about this— but the infamous “Casey Anthony Case,” the woman had such dark circles around her eyes that I knew I could see that others couldn’t.  It wasn’t from lack of sleep either).  There’s a difference between circles from lack of sleep, and circles that show a dark spirit— it’s as though they took ash, charcoal, and/or black paint and just smeared it around their eyes.  They look so mean, too.  

But all in all—- they generally also follow the trend of taking on the Physical Human form— spirit or non-spirit.  (Note: Animals cannot be Dark Spirits.  Animals, legit, are too pure and good.  I’m not even joking about that).
