Are Impostor sprits really impostors?

Spirits, Evocation & Possession

Instead of blaming entities, perhaps blame yourself.
-Do you chase sensation and excitement? Do you hop from one “patron” to another?
Can you commit yourself to a path and stick to a system -and truly explore it with genuine effort and openness?

I see a lot of people trying to koetting things.

Dont be a taste tester for paths and systems, but actually dedicate yourself.
Everyone experiences periods of wandering and exploration, but eventually you have to become a pilgrim not a nomad.

A nomad has no home but a pilgrim has one or more places he calls home and always returns to them after his trips.

Once you have shifted your mindset, it will bleed into what entities and people you attract and keep around.

Impostors can be attracted at first contact of any magickal work, they aren’t just gonna show up only because you work with many spirits.
What matters is taking the proper safety precautions before magickal work. I’ve worked with over a dozen spirits and have never had an issue with impostors because I’ve always practiced safely.

Koetting practices safely, as he has multiple banishing and wards ready to deploy wherever he needs. He’s not a beginner, which is why he doesn’t attract them because he knows how to avoid them in the first place like many of us here.

Not to mention lots of us do multiple forms of practice. I do Hinduist meditation and demonic invocation/evocation while using angelic mantra. I’m still not done adding to the things that I want to do. No one is bound to one system, that is what Thelema (non-religious philosophy side anyways) teaches. Do as thou wilt.

thats the original thread.

My statement was complete and left enough room for anyone to think and make their own decisions ~But lets all stand up and clap! Clap for the experts! :clap: :clap: :clap:

You see, thats the kind of shit that makes people avoid internet forums.

…okay?

I’m making the point that impostor spirits are usually easy to avoid as long as you follow spiritual hygiene habits. Which is true.
Also knowing little things like never letting a spirit show up uninvited or banishing when you work.

It has nothing to do with experts, it’s the fundamentals of safe practice.

Furthermore I didn’t say anything about you being incorrect. I just said what impostors typically can be from.

Totally disagree. People can dip in and out of whatever systems they want with ever being committed to one thing.

Also I don’t think the analogy of pilgrims and nomads quite fits. In addition who’s to say a pilgrim isn’t a nomad?

Imposters exist and it’s important we recognise how to deal with them because any magician can potentially attract imposters

I should clarify, this scorn is unnecessary and I feel unfair and misplaced. Nobody said that thread is “expert” or claims to be the Truth™.
Some of those posts contradict each other, even - consensus is not the point there.

It is NOT the purpose of our member tutorials to act as sources of authority.

Various members who are actively practicing have generously shared what worked for them, and I collected them into easy-to find.threads as these questions are often asked repeatedly and the search is great but not always easy to find all things in.

I do leave comments that contribute to the thread, but your question is it’s own discussion that would have derailed the purpose of that thread, which was to provide a shortlist of popular ideas, not a tutorial, and was off topic for that thread.

I was hoping you would expand your position to explain better why you think impostors are not real and what else you suggest about understanding the experiences that people consider as impostorship, and what they could do about it?

Instead, your post seems incoherent and relying on unstated assumptions and worldviews that have nothing to do with the issue of impostors.

… Because one person appreciated a post? Seriously?

If all you can add is insults and call member’s good-faith efforts “shit” without qualifying why or offering a better idea, there’s no point continuing this discussion.

From our posting guidelines, you are not contributing to this forum in an intelligent or helpful way.

So I don’t know who pissed in your beer, but if wasn’t us, we don’t deserve this aggro, you’re behaving in a way that is not conducive to understanding you and you seem unwilling to be logical and use reason rather than emotion, so I’m now closing this post.
