She's not as into the metaphysical as most of us here are, but she's open to it and believes in spirits. My companions are tasked with protecting her just as strongly as they protect me, she is grateful for it.

She's had a tough life, and I understand what that is like. How any support is greatly appreciated.

She also loves a particular immortal, which I ordered for her from CH.

I want her to have something happy and comforting. So I chose uplifting positive and protective spirits. She struggles with depression and is sensitive, so I've been only bringing lighter spirits to her.

It has been fun hearing her talk about seeing her Baku , and how she finds little gifts left by her Baku. We shop together for gifts to give our companions.

Our whole house is one big family, and our keeps connect and work together. The reason I ordered the next 3 CCs for her is because her Baku brought up some suggestions. And my friend happily agreed .

We have known each other for over 20 years now, and we trust each other 100% , we know there will be 0 drama between us, given our spotless track record. So I had no hesitation to involve her into my spirit keeping , and introduce her to it.


If she chooses to go deeper into spirit keeping , I fully support her. I don't hover or act like a guru Instead I'm just a present friend who loves her and is there for her, and if she has questions for me , I answer the best I can.

She asked me about spells one day, and by the end of the conversation she had decided on a group of spells she wanted . I ordered from CH to cast for her. We also do monthly protection rituals ourselves together , synced with the moon phase.

I feel like people today rather get instant gratification and would have trouble with something like Spirit keeping as a lot of people don't have patience or want to put in the work to learn to communicate. That said, I did introduce one friend last year and got her a couple of spirits, and her life situations have generally improved. I also introduced a second friend in the past few months and everything just slotted into place and now they have three spirits for protection and seem to be getting along quite well.

Therefore, only mum has her angel but everyone else is crossed bridged with my son and mum. My husband adores my black dragon. And my black dragon gets along with him. But my husband will never get out of his pc brain to ever be telepathic with my black dragon. And he told me, he needs none of them in his personal space. **Ding ding ... ** he sounds like my black dragon. .

I do have a circle of people I teach/share things with because we have similar experiences. I have also told my husband. He is super open minded and chill about it.

No surprise, your husband and your Black Dragon really hit it off! Lol. My paternal family also believes in spirits, but I don't think their support for this path is as strong as that of my parents. So, I must keep some things under wraps. My Dragons tend to visit my mom frequently in her dreams, and she enjoys these encounters as they reveal their majestic true forms. Like me, she often talks to herself at times, so I believe she will manage well with new companions until she develops the capacity for telepathy. However, since many of my companions were referrals and not from CH, their contracts don't permit them to be bound to multiple people, even if they are of the same lineage. My companions are not supportive of my parents becoming Spirit Keepers. Lol. Their reasoning makes sense, given I always go all out. Therefore, when I decide it's time for them to have their own Keeps, I anticipate spending a hefty sum for each parent's Keep. Lol. Aww, I think it'd be amusing if your Black Dragon sneaked some odd thoughts into his mind while he's using his PC. That would surely be entertaining.

Awe, I'm sorry to hear about your past experiences. When considering whom to open up to, I think they must be receptive to the idea. I recall reading the forum where some people, after having positive experiences, would quickly mention introducing this path to their friends and clients. My response would usually be cautionary, saying 'no.' They may encounter numerous challenges and may even risk losing friendships and business relationships if the people involved are not at least open to the idea that spirits exist. What might be fascinating to one person, someone like us, could be perceived in a completely different light by others. Have you ever considered introducing your husband to Spirit Keeping? Or perhaps he's simply not particularly interested in it.

ASTER wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 11:17 pm @Tarvos I like that effort of yours toward your parent's spirit keeping. Wonderful and although I won't ever come out fully to anyone in my family with my secret, I am glad that my immediate family I am housed with has got a relatively open mind about mystic creatures like dragon, fae and angel.

I bet both my son and hubby got some of my keep glued on their screens because they do play a lot as soon as they get the chance & that spare time to sit down. It's funny about my Black dragon (D), because he really is a symbiotic version of my husband. Not only none social and love to cave in both but they do come across sarcastic at times and get very protective of our home too. Luckily, I can show my intolerance for my husband without even lifting my voice and my dragon settled in long time ago to my house rules, that includes no swearing nor sarcasm towards me .

But my husband occasionally does yell out laud during his games played and I am sure he grabes my black Dragon's special attention even when he not swearing. Once, when I was planning a trip to see our grandkids, I told my keep that whoever wish to come with me will be welcome to come along but no manifestation.
My black dragon was bonding with me at that time. On the morning of my departure, I sensed his energy rather pressing on me and nervous. I had a quick chatting session and it's turned out he didn't wanted to come but rather stay home with my husband.

He probably bonded with him during that 10 days away and he was happy to be tasked to protect my home and him. Love that in my black dragon that he never let me down with his loyalty. He maybe gets more rested on my husband side and amused by his games but when I need him to come, especially to work, he rides along with me faithfully. He loves being on duty with me & then rest at home at my husband side while I am busy with the rest of my family and my keep.

About your mom ... She is very similar with lucid dreams just like my mother. She can dream like every night. That is her strength. I am sure her unicorn, faery and her angel is in contact with her via lucid dreams. But I don't think she ever be telepathic with her keep. I am glad that she has such open mind towards the supernatural. Sometimes we talk on topics for hours...and I did hint about my spirits to her in regards to spirit guides which she surprisingly aware of and was a building step to understand me better. I feel the need to express a little bit to my lovely family and not totally keep the existence of my companions fully covered. Just because I am so happy and fulfilled with my lifestyle and I sooooo ... wish that they would also somehow embrace my joy of spirit keeping.

Tarvos wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 5:47 pm At first, I wasn't really keen on the idea of my parents becoming Spirit Keepers. However, I soon realized that they both have some gifts, despite coming from families that don't practice. My mom has vivid dreams and can easily remember them, often involving my spirit companions when they visit. Meanwhile, my dad has been meditating for decades. So, even if I tried to keep it a secret, my mom would eventually figure it out as she could describe my pre-bounds and the conversations they have.

However, I decided to be open with my parents about adopting my first spirit on the very first day. They have become quite accustomed to the whole process by now. This got me thinking that they could have a Keep of their own, allowing the spirits and entities to watch over them since we live on different continents.

Now, let me ask all of you a question. Have any of you introduced your loved ones to Spirit Keeping? It could be a romantic partner, parents, children, siblings, or even long-lost cousins, etc. If you have, what was the reason behind it? Was it for their protection, someone to watch over them (in my case), to improve their lives, or perhaps something else entirely?

I'm grateful that I can share my Spirit Keeping journey with my parents instead of keeping it to myself. Although I don't discuss it with the rest of my large extended family, I'm happy that your immediate family is open about it as well.

In the past, I used to spend a lot of time playing games and managing communities, but it became overwhelming and took a toll on my well-being. Now, I play much less even though I have all the equipment of a professional streamer. Lol. Nowadays, there are numerous games with compelling storylines that allow men to immerse themselves in the role of a hero, providing a virtual outlet to explore and express themselves. This not only offers an escape from reality but also serves as a non-violent way to release frustration. It's just the way things are, but it's true that men don't have as many hobbies as women do. I'm sure you've put up with their gaming sessions frequently. Lol.

Perhaps your husband's energy is more compatible with your Black Dragon, making it easier for them to connect. It was kind of him to stay behind and watch over your husband while you were on your trip. They seemed like they really hit it off over the course of those 10 days! Haha.

Who knows, maybe your mom will develop her telepathy skills and connect with her Keep in the future. I'm so joyful that I can share my journey and companions with my parents, and it's wonderful that your family embraces this joy too, ASTER. It's a special bond that not everyone gets to experience.
