Hi, everyone! I'd like to ask how to differentiate between energy signatures. Say, I go to the astral plane and I meet my spirit friend there, how can I tell I am not dealing with a trickster who just pretends to be him? Obviously, there are things the trickster wouldn't know, so I guess I could ask very personal questions only my sprit friend could answer...but other than that, how do you get a feel of the energy of your companion that would instantly make you go like 'yes, that's really him without a doubt'. Any suggestions? I haven't APed, but I keep practicing. Is there like an incantation that you could recite over and over again on the astral that would make the trickster go away?

Shielding, and programming that shield to keep away any and all beings and energies who mean you trouble and harm. Getting to know your companions energy does help, tricksters may be good at shifting, but have a harder time mimicking energy. Plus, a lot of tricksters and feeders seem to like to feed on and relish in extreme emotion, so if at any point you feel like you're being provoked I would leave the encounter and energy cleanse yourself/area.

Thank you, very helpful! )
