The lost books - part 4A
Parasites, imposters, and trickster spirits.
Ok this needs to be discussed. If you do not have a relationship with a powerful Patron spirit you have a much higher chance of encountering this than if you do have that.
I notice that this class of spirits seems to prey on beginners specifically that are involved in unsafe ceremonial magick practices. It can also happen to anybody else regardless of thier level of experience. Be wary always.
Parasites, a parasite seeks to feed off of your emotional energy and your life force. Actually low level parasitic entities are very common in the universe but usually they induce some kind of negative Emotion, eat and then move on.
Higher level parasites seek to form attachments to your energy body so they can feed at thier leisure. This is the worst kind of parasite to be stuck with. Further having a serious parasite opens up your defenses which allows other parasites to attack you as well.
How do you know if you’ve got a parasite when your doing spirit work. First you’ll notice a (something is wrong) feeling, you might feel fear or dread, if this happens to you, end the ceremony immediately and banish thoroughly. You may have accidentally called through a parasite instead of the spirit you intended to call.
The reason you feel afraid and that something is wrong is because the spirit is trying to scare you and feed off your fear. Do not accept this and do not feed it. Banish it boldly. Try your spirit work on another day.
Imposters
These insidious fuckers will actually come to your evocation and act like they are the spirit your calling. They do this to manipulate you and steal the offerings and energy that was for the actual intended spirit.
I ask Goetic spirits to show me thier seals in my mind for me to be satisfied I am talking to who I intended. But also I’m pacted with Prince Orobas and King Bael and Prince Orobas doesn’t allow a magician to be tempted or tested by these kinds of spirits.
Imposters love to imitate and promise the world to the magician, flatter him, or scare him into subservience. They want to draw it out as long as they can. They are usually parasitic in nature and seek to form an attachment to you so when you call on your spirit you never get through to the real spirit it’s always the Imposter coming through.
Be wary of spirits wanting to initiate sexual relationships with you
Be wary of spirits regularly taking offerings but never delivering on requests and always has an excuse.
Be wary of spirits that tell you what a great and powerful magician you are.
Be wary of spirits that try to use you to perform acts on its behalf.
Recognizing the spirit is an imposter is the first step. Secondly a parasitic cleansing, thirdly don’t work with that spirit again until some time has past and your more discerning.
Tricksters
This class is all about poltergeist activity, moving objects around the house, causing minor misfortunes just for the fuck of it.
These spirits can be parasitic also and sometimes try to establish long term hauntings. A good banishment will drive them right away.
A common dynamic these kinds of spirits try to make happen is they like to seem much bigger than they really are. This makes you fe small and powerless against them. The reality is that’s mostly an illusion. They are usually small and weak and easy to drive out of destroy once identified.
When I first started studying magick I tried to evoke earth elementals using the supreme invoking ritual of the Pentagram. I immediately felt like something was wrong and it felt like many little creatures were surrounding my circle and trying to get me. I banished immediately but not before catching a parasite that caused me great distress for an entire year.
So just be alert and know what to look out for… Goetic spirits seem to hate parasites as much as we do. They get seriously pissed that another spirit would dare take thier offerings. If a parasite gets caught by a Goetic spirit it’s usually a death sentence from what I’ve been told.
How to remove a parasite beyond the scope of this book please use the search function of the forum and find one of many good tutorials on the subject.
