That was a very inspiring story, Velca. Thank-you for sharing your life experiences with us.Velca wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 3:31 pm From what I have read, to be quite honest I think this is a time where you need to self reflect on why you have this perspective.

(also acknowledge that it is entirely normal for people and beings to want to help you & do good things for you simply because they WANT to. not everything needs to have this tit for tat, cynnical filter put on it.
To @DveneKY: I agree with the others that you need to reflect upon your own inner motives, desires, feelings before attributing any motives, feelings of your spirits. I highly recommend shadow work to guide you through this process.
My spirit companions enjoy being in my keep and enjoy helping me; we've spoken about this before and often because I want to ensure that I'm doing a good job as a spirit keeper. I do make offerings to them often because I want to show them my gratitude and appreciation for all that they do for me; those that accept offerings appreciate it. In particular, I have a brownie who ABSOLUTELY will leave my keep if I purposefully leave an offering. So, at night every few days, I leave some milk. It's not for her, but it's what I do because I have her in my keep.
Good luck on your journey.
