#astral witch

In the next week two spirits will be posted for adoption

E the Bubble Spirit. E is a beginner level spirit, but also needs someone who will be very sensitive to their needs.

Ch the Fire Horse who requires an advanced practitioner.

Details coming soon.

As a quick personal introduction, I am a Heathen Hedgewitch, raised around magick from a young age. I have been practicing spirit work for close to 22 years (this coming May, in fact), which I only recall because it was my 12th Birthday when my Mother sat me down and taught me how to use a Spirit Board. I felt a connection that night with something far greater than myself and have not looked back. 

I first began Astral exploration when I was around fourteen, doing it completely by accident the first time. I had no clue what had happened, but luckily had a family with a rich history of this, so they were able to talk me through what happened, and guide me in ways to control it and learn from my experiences. 

From then on, spirits have been a part of my life. While there have been times that I tried to push aside my connection, it has never really left my side. For various reasons, I only have a couple of very close spirit companions myself permanently in my life. However I have worked through these years aiding spirits in finding other companions, to heal and teach.

The nature of the work I do in the spirit world mean that the spirits I come across are not always strictly ‘love and light’, which is why this board is for advanced practitioners. There are definitely gentler souls that I come across, and these will be available for beginning practitioners if the spirits feel called to be with them, but I can’t promise this will be a regular thing.

Spirits I vet are with me for a minimum of six months before they are listed on here, and because I build a close relationship with them, I expect you to do the same before submitting an application. For this reason, when I list a spirit they will be online for communication for two weeks before I accept any applications for them. I want you to know the spirits before you apply for them. To misquote a dear friend, this isn’t Pokemon, you don’t get to ‘collect them all’.

I know I’m a new companionship center, but you can rest assured that I have experience, and I care deeply about the spirit’s ongoing welfare.

What is astral projection?

Astral projection is also known as an out of body experience. Astral projection can take place whether you are sleeping or awake. It is done when your conscious mind leaves your physical body on earth to a different dimension while staying connected by a silver cord. The cord makes it possible to come back to your earthly self. It enables your spirit body to explore the astral realm.  It is said that Astral Projection helps you become your truest and highest self. Astral Projecting is the floating and lifting of your physical being through the use of your astral body.

The silver cord anchor’s ones astral body to their physical body. The silver cord allows you to find your way back to the physical realm. It is described as being strong, almost indestructible, yet soft and elastic that can stretch and flex to make sure that the astral body is truly tethered to the physical one.
