Feel free to ignore this if it's ridiculous but is it possible to have a spirit you have a pre-established relationship with get jealous of another spirit you're working with, like, romantically? I don't need anybody to fix it , I just wondered if anyone else has had this happen. For context, I knew this spirit for years but I had trouble identifying him for a long time because he wasn't a specific deity or anything, but recently I think I've discovered that he is a sort of Demon/Incubus from an ancient European culture, which shocked me at first because he hadn't really, well, acted "like an incubus" around me, if you get what I mean, but too much of the description fit for various reasons. That being said, I have always been attracted to this spirit, he is very human-like and impressive, etc, but I was always convinced he was too magical and divine and whatnot to like me, so I wouldn't act romantic . HOWEVER, I screwed up because I flirted with a Ghost I actually met before the Demon/Incubus ( I know, I'm so freaking cringe, I'm sorry 😭) and then my life started getting fucked with and there were signs the Demon/Incubus guy could be behind it, and I knew he didn't like guys I liked but I thought it was just the individual guys, but this seems to have sent him over the edge, and he may have thwarted efforts to establish a relationship with the Ghost but the way was paved for me to further my devotion to HIM. Anyways, have you ever heard of this happening before? Can spirits get jealous?
I’m going to turn this question back around on you, anon. Does it seem like this spirit is jealous? Are you able to reliably detect other moods and emotions in this spirit? You don’t need some external figure to tell you what you already know.
My entire practice is based around a maxim my childhood mentor told me - “spirits are just folks.” She meant that they have personalities, moods and emotions, and cultures same the way they we do. Theirs may be different than ours, follow different rules, but the best way to engage with them is same way you would engage with another person - learn their culture, their personality, their moods and emotions. Spirits, as a broad category, can experience the entire range of human emotions, and probably some additional emotions that we can’t feel. So if it looks like a spirit is experiencing an obvious emotion, they probably are.
The more important question is what are you going to do about it? Do you like that this spirit is maybe a little jealous over your attention and affection? Do you not like it and feel the need to assert your boundaries? Based on your language I’m going to guess that you’re on the younger side, anon, so in case you like that this spirit is jealous and you might want to lean into a relationship with it I’m going to caution you against doing so until you’re mature enough to handle it. Some people put a hard set age on when a romantic relationship with a spirit is appropriate, maybe 18 or 21, but I’ve know people older than either of those who aren’t mature enough to handle it yet. Make sure you’re ready to commit to all of the work and dedication that comes with such a relationship.
