I thought it might be an interesting exercise in research to log in this thread, spirits of any kind who contacted you
-
without you having done any prepataory immersion or other research
-
without you expecting them, or deliberately summoning them
-
lived up to their stated descriptions in grimoires or classical texts to the extent you believe beyond doubt they were really that spirit.
While I have little to no interest in the “are they real?” topic because I have a working cosmology that doesn’t require it, it does come up a lot, and having a list of spirits who are strong enough to make contact without being expected or summoned may also be useful.
My list blow - this is incomplete, might add some more later but these happened in the last few years:
Kek - contacted me in a dream before I’d heard of His link to Pepe, later found memes online that looked exactly like the form He took when I met Him to the extent that it was like seeing a photos graph taken within the dream
Belial - again, approached me in a dream, testing me to see how I reacted - I hadn’t consciously sought to work with him and the way he attacked me was genuinely unpleasant and difficult to combat
La Santisima Muerte - She manifested spontaneously in Her black (possibly also dark blue) robe while I was very upset about something to give me advice, I had read about Her courtesy of Euoi’s posts on here and She flashed Euoi’s former forum avatar as a kind of “ID” when I wasn’t certain who She was.
She then appeared in a dream in what seemed like Her white robe and gave me further information, and some other weird stuff.
Varnaxis - he’s a blood relative who died a few years ago, but he contacted me through dreams several times and when I finally realised it was a real spirit contacting me, and evoked him, he revealed that he’d been a lifelong satanist, and had ascended to the form of a fully demonic being after his death.
There are many other spirits who’ve contacted me but I almost always had done something to initiate the contact, whereas with these, it was entirely unexpected.
Please post any spirits who contacted you unbidden, as described above, and this list may be useful or interesting to other magicians.
