Some Basic Spirit Work Things (for beginners)

-Not all spirits are evil

-Not all spirits are good, either

-Not all demons are bad or evil

-Some demons are really cool and make awesome friends!

-Some demons want to kill you and do bad things to you

-Along the same lines, hellbeings can be very nice or very mean

-Some spirits look scary but are actually very kind

-Some spirits look sweet/cute but actually want to hurt you in the worst ways

-Not everything is black or white, evil or good, apples or bananas. Sometimes spirits can be in between, or off the charts completely.

-(The previous statement applies to their moral alignment, their ethics, their friendliness, their desire to hurt humans, and pretty much anything else)

-Spirit work is really fucking dangerous, but there are ways to be safe.

-Yes, spirits can affect your physical body. It happens, good or bad.

-Wards. Look up warding. Get a good handle on warding before you start practicing spirit work.

-Spirits are actual beings, which means that they have thoughts, feelings, and lives outside of you and yours.

-Safety should probably be your #1 priority in spirit work, unless you really have a death wish for yourself (or enjoy being in immense pain… I’m not going to judge)

-Spirits and spirit work are probably going to be different than your expectations.

-The spirit world is much different than ours, but can also be quite similar!

-Once you start working with spirits, more tend to show up. You kind of send out a signal that attracts other spirits once you flip that spirit working switch to the on position. Not all of them are going to be friendly.

-Spirits can be dirty lying decievers, but they can also be your best and closest friend, depending on which ones you meet. And sometimes you’ll think a spirit is ur best friend just to find out, days/months/years later, that they’re actually a dirty lying deciever! Don’t trust them right away!

Feel free to add on (or correct me)!
