Spirits or Ghosts are essentially energy; spiritual energy. Energy is always affected by other energies; positively, as well as, negatively. No energies are alike. Some are similar. Some are compatible. Some can enhance. And, some can manipulate. Spirits are energy with consciousness; consciousness with will. This power can cause the manipulation of similar energies. It can also consume energy. Whether they are ‘lost souls’ or Spirit Powers, they have essence; knowledge and personality. This essence is what controls the energy.
Spiritual apparition encounters by thaumaturge are classified by their Potential Energy Strength. Potential Energy Strength is the apparition’s ability to affect the physical surroundings.
Spiritual Apparitions Potential Energy Strengths
Class 1 – Effectual Energy Presence.
Sensation of apparition’s presence only.
Class 2 – Manifestation of Energy Presence.
Visual or audio confirmation of apparition’s presence.
Class 3 – Influence over Physical Energies.
Manifested interference in electrical fields, currents, radio, telephone, and / or television reception, etc.
Class 4 – Manipulation of Physical Matter.
Manifested manipulation of physical objects; I.E., movement, temperature, appearance, condition, possession, etc.
Hostile – A spiritual apparition encounter that threatens life or limb.
Location of Energy Presence
The most common condition of Apparitional Appearance is Energy Recognition Reaction. In this case, the apparition’s appearance will most likely be only in one location. However, it may not be the location’s energies that attract the apparition.
The location is most often connected to the apparition in some way. The tragic death of a person may trap their soul there due to a number of reasons, including, an unwillingness to leave, or becoming confused and / or lost. It may also be purposely trapped there by someone or something. In this case, a number of means are possible to do this, usually, by way of acquiring a sample of the intended victim’s person. Hair or fingernail trimmings are most often used, also, by possessing a sample of the intended victim’s energy by way of a containment vessel called a Koschei. A stone, a container made out of natural elements, or a hand-made mannequin of the intended victim.
The ritual for this act is first preparing the area of ceremony and any Power Objects to be used with Ritual Smudge. Then the Power Objects are placed in the proper pattern and manipulated with energy to create the vortex energy needed. The containment vessel is positioned at the center of the Energy Vortex. The proper chant is recited while the sample of the intended victim’s energy is introduced into the Energy Vortex, and into the Containment Vessel.
By way of either spiritual assistance or Energy Contact, the intended victim’s soul is sought out and abducted. The victim’s soul is placed into the Containment Vessel and stored within the Containment Energy Vortex for the duration of abduction.
Spiritual Apparition Variations
Spiritual apparitions vary due to their energy essence. These variations are categorized into six conditions which define the reason behind the apparition’s presence.
1. Lost Soul.
2. Trapped Soul.
3. Soul unwilling to depart.
4. Vengeful Spirit.
5. Summoned Spirit.
6. Spirit Power.
The Lost Soul is a result of circumstances related to the individual’s death. Usually, the soul is confused due to the shock they received involved with their demise, and are unaware that they are, in fact, dead.
The Trapped Soul is usually a result of circumstances that took place at the location of their death. Their Energy Essence is often trapped by either a natural or created energy field at the location, either by accident or by design.
The Soul unwilling to depart is again connected to the time of death. Often, the soul feels as though the time of death was untimely. That they did not accomplish something necessary to their Life Path and will remain earth bound until it is accomplished. Or, it is a soul that is unwilling to except death.
A Vengeful Spirit is either one whose death is the result of another person, and will not rest until it has been avenged; or that the soul, in life, endured hardships caused by another and will also not rest until is has been avenged.
A Summoned Spirit is one that has been brought back from the Spirit Realm by way of ritual and is contracted by the summoner for the accomplishment of a desired deed or action.
A Spirit Power is a spirit that is a Higher Spiritual Element, a helper, protector, or guide. It can be of either good or evil influence.
Possession
Possession occurs in the following categories:
Partial Possession
Partial Possession is a condition in which the possessing power or entity has limited control over the victim.
Temporary Possession
Temporary Possession is a condition in which the possessing power or entity has limited duration of possession over the victim.
Conditional Possession
Conditional Possession is a condition in which certain situations or conditions give the strength needed to the possessing power or entity to achieve possession.
Complete Possession
Complete Possession is a condition in which the possessing power or entity has completely overtaken the victim’s soul and has achieved complete control over the victim’s body.
Vanquishment (Exorcism)
A vanquishment is a battle. It is a power struggle. It is the only means of combating possession. Not prayer; and not emotions. Prayer can assist and comfort, but emotions such as love do not make good weapons in combating an invading entity, and emotions such as fear can feed them. The best approach is to be dispassionate when performing any kind of spirit removal.
First of all, one should not assume that someone is possessed by a spirit unless the possessed person shows signs that distinguish them from those who suffer from other conditions, such as, mental illness or some physical disease. The signs indicating the possible presence of a possessing spirit are as follows: speaking in a language unknown to the victim or understanding a language unknown to them; revelation of distant and unknown matters; manifestation of powers beyond one’s own natural abilities. Other signs may be observed and, when taken with the above, compound the situation.
A combination of energy manipulation and trickery is the only means to overpower the possessing spirit. The outcome of this ritual is to either force the possessing spirit to reveal itself (usually by name), thus acknowledging its limitations and connections and causing itself to sever all ties and allegiances it has. In this state, it can be overpowered and captured or forced to withdraw.
Once overpowered, the spirit can then be forced into a Koschei to secure it while the troldmand can complete the healing procedure. The trapped spirit can be dealt with later, in a safe environment.
Conjuration
Summoning spirits is accomplished through a ritual called conjuration. This means ensures a somewhat safe atmosphere to perform this dangerous ceremony. The ritual’s first procedure is to prepare the Ritual Offering. This is sacrificed to aid in the energy output required to contact the desired entity. The environment is then prepared by Ritual Smudge and placing the Ritual Power Objects at the appropriate locations or on the altar in a pattern that would create the proper Energy Vortex needed to aid in the manifestation of the appropriate entity. Ritual Smudge is then burned, and continually burned throughout the ceremony. The ritual is performed by prayer, chanting, or Power Song singing, that announces the intentions of the summoner and acknowledges the desired entity. This is continued until the contact is made.
Most often, a Summoned Entity will require an arrangement to be made for its services. An Offering called a ‘Blood Contract’; for it is often very difficult to break. The entity will usually remain until the objective is accomplished or the contract is fulfilled.
