Well if your mothers lived there for any amount of time, and you have ever been there- he probably does know you- whether you realize it or not.
Most people like the lbrp, I do not. I prefer the sword banishing by Damon Brand or circle banishing by Ben Woodcroft. The lbrp takes a lot more practice to do in your dreams or astrally is the biggest reason.
We also have:
But here’s the thing, they are pretty well established in your moms home from the sound of it. They probably aren’t going to just go without a fuss, but they might. Luna can help you get rid of two and keep the third or whatever you deem appropriate there.
I’ve found that with spirits that have been in one place for a long time, some don’t know they can move and some don’t want to, some will play by your rules and some you will have to demand they follow your rules or else.
Once ina while one will put up a show, try to scare you or otherwise convince you to leave them alone- don’t fall for this if you want them gone.
I find it useful to basically have a set of rules, because I get a lot of coming and going with what I do. We don’t appreciate poltergeist activity- makes my husband angry, (man he had one in here that hid his shit constantly, i couldn’t hardly believe it…) so I had to establish who I was, that I was the one going to ensure these rules were followed etc.
I noticed it really helped when I first moved in and he told me it was my kitchen, so do what I want to with it, it was my house so I could decorate or whatever.
Basically without even realizing it, he gave me authority over the spirits in his house. He’s since acknowledged that spirit work is my bag of tricks, and so on and so forth, but it helped initially because some of these spirits come across like toddlers, will push and push back just to see what you’ll do, so having them hear him tell me I could do whatever, made it clear they had no protection under him if they didn’t get it together and follow my rules.
I don’t know that I’d assume any of them demons just based on appearance, I’ve never had a spirit show me a seal, but it used to be commonly thought that a spirit couldn’t lie about their identity if they did show you their seal, so idk on that one.
I don’t find classifying the spirits as their exact type to be particularly beneficial, most distinctions I’ve made have been in how they operate or bring results. The one thing I will note is I haven’t found any demons that lurk in homes or stay like they are stuck.
If this one is always always in your moms apartment, it’s more likely to be a dead spirit, a thought form, a djinn, a servitor etc.
The other types of spirits I don’t find stick around for any amount of time. They’ll come, communicate and leave. The Loa sometimes watch for a while before they approach, but I also don’t find they choose to live here in this way.
It likely doesn’t matter, but knowing a spirits pulling the wool over your eyes or could be, can be important in how you interact with them. I personally don’t want to hear bullshit, they can be useful and those that I am able to help I will, or they can leave.
It gets nasty for them if they don’t want to play by rules and try to stay. I’ve only demonstrated once, and it was on a spirit that wouldn’t leave my kid alone in his dads house, not even mine lol.
I knew which/what it was though, I had lived in that home so, I drew it to me, I made things very very very clear as to what I would do, then I gave him a job…
Cuz man if you can cause nightmares and sleep paralysis, this witch occasionally has a target… and that’s easier than doing it myself or dissolving the damned spirit so.
Learn to banish with a ritual, learn to banish with your energy, decided what the rules are if it’s your problem- but is if? If it’s moms full time residence and I didn’t live there, I wouldn’t get involved unless asked, unless I’d ruled out they didn’t know, weren’t fooling me, and the spirits really were a problem.
Lots of people have guides and guardians, some come through pretty loud and clear, sometimes they cause things to go awry to keep their people safe and all sorts of things, so if it’s your place to take care of, get your ducks in a row and pretty much treat them respect but be firm. If they don’t listen you will have to learn to do something about it, learn to exert your energy in a clearing way, or how to otherwise make them permanently fuck off.
I don’t find banishing for others to be particularly effective when the spirits are localized in the physical, they can just come back as soon as you are done or leave, so for some of these it’s a matter of having their respect and their belief that you will follow through.
Hope this helps some, the answer is idk what you should do, but here’s some options and thoughts!
