Making Spirits?
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2020 12:21 am
Hi everyone,
I was recently reading Glamour Magic: The Witchcraft Revolution to Get What You Want by Deborah Castellano. She has a part in the book with a suggestion on how she protects and cleanses her energy. She "creates" a spirit from a representation of an animal like mouse or snail that cleans or eats everything in its environment. She basically described it as breathing into this representation until the spirit is awake, where you would then create a pact to care for its altar/environment you make for it with small sacrifices, and it would clean your energy and spiritual gunk. Now this sounds like an amazing and efficient way to keep your energy clear, but I was caught up on the "making a spirit" part. I understand making a talisman or charming an object, but to imply creating some kind of life? I didn't understand that and how it could possibly work. I've tried to look up more about what the word spirit means to people but always get alcohol related results. I though spirits were supposed to be souls that used to inhabit bodies?
