Do you think a powerful spirit can grant you the power without prior education? I ask because I've manage to do stuff I had no training in. Now I'm not sure if I'm doing it or they are doing it for me.

Great question!

Intrinsic knowledge... a fabulous mystery that we all love. Suddenly knowing something that you could not have known before... it happens & it's glorious when it does because you stop yourself and realize "hey, when did I learn that?!".

Yes, spirits can provide you powers & knowledge... absolutely!!! However, your ability to master those powers & become a wise person in that realm of knowledge requires you to EXERCISE those powers & knowledge thereby strengthening your energies & abilities.

You may suddenly have the knowledge to take an engine apart & put it back together but actually doing it is another thing. The brilliance of the mind has to be backed up by the strength of the spirit & body.

The entities, Immortals, creatures & spirits of the other realms see you quite differently than you & I see each other. They see you as a unique imprint of energy and they can tell, without hesitancy or mistake, who is strong in the spiritual & astral realms and who is not. To give you a visual think about it in terms of fire... most people are a match flame... those who are studying and practicing are a campfire and those who are masters are a bonfire. That is just a visual mind you, you don't really look like fire on the spiritual realm. LOL But they can differentiate the difference between people which is why in our conjuration clubs & university courses we say over and over, "you must earn your place".

Thank you for the information. However, it is my understanding that the previous Keeper had not had the spirit very long and was never able to bond with him. So my question still remains as to how or why this might be possible with a custom binding. I do not doubt the conjurer's ability and so this all is confusing to me. I have no ability to ask the fairy. Why would a custom conjuration not want the Keeper, not bond with the Keeper? I know that bonding takes different amounts of time per couple, but find it strange that it just would not happen. Wondered if there might be some pitfall that I should be wary of myself, for future information. The past Keeper also said she expected a donation. This I have yet to do in case these actions were done by the past Keeper in haste or until I had some more information through these questions.
I want what is best for the fairy and to understand such a bonding problem in general.... FF :pumpkin: :feedback:

I admit the situation seems strange but again, I don't know who you are talking about so I don't know how to respond to the situation. You can email me or PM me directly with details & I can give you further direction about this specific situation.

As far as the intent of the custom conjurations; yes. That is the intent & purpose behind them... so a spirit is matched specifically to a person which allows for better bonding & a better relationship (whether it be for a specific goal in life or for a lifetime). No, there really isn't any pitfalls associated with a custom binding, they are fit to the person requesting them.

Also, let me take this opportunity to stress, yet again, that there should be absolutely no business transactions on this forum of any kind. They are all to go through the Marketplace, ONLY!!! This isn't a request; it's a forum rule for a reason to provide safety for the seller & buyer.

Magnolia, can the binding energy of a spell-casting spirit in one's collection be used to bind a spirit? Let's say you recite an invocation, and a good spirit comes to you, but you don't know a good binding ritual. So let's say your harpy agrees to send you the binding energy of a spell she knows. So, let's say you concentrate on "using the harpy's binding energy" to bind your spirit. Would this work?
Also, some powerful spirits in collection can help you find other spirits compatible with you and bring them to you, right?

Magnolia, can the energy/essence of a human become trapped/stuck in your body, such as through an intense intimate experience? I suspect I might have such problem. What's the best thing to do when negative energy is trapped/stuck in a part of your body? Seems like it's more of a minor annoyance rather than a serious problem, but it doesn't seem to respond well to cleansing and is hard to get out! I don't know what spells to use for this, though my spirits recommend keeping doing cleansing.

We've also had emails & eBay questions wanting to know what kind of bindings are they and how do you learn to do them?

There are many different types of bindings varying from those done by people new to the process to the well-trained. I can tell you that you will not find a lot of information online about binding spirits because it is information passed from one practitioner to their wards. This forum was the first to open the discussion about spirit keeping and spirit bindings and we have not posted public information about the binding process.

So what happens if a spirit comes to your home of its own free will and you want to keep them with you?

If you're not a practitioner then I am going to strongly recommend that you ask the spirits to attach themselves to you or a vessel. You do not have to bind a spirit in order for them to stay. If you have a spirit that comes to you and wants to stay with you then they will continue to stay. It also opens you up to the option of asking the spirit to leave if things don't work out. If they are bound then you have to perform a banishment or un-binding which can also open doors you may not want to open.

I know it's in one of these threads. But no, spirits can not bind for you. Nor can they teach you to bind.

That is a misconception that someone started and it's dangerous. No one is empowered by their spirits to start conjuring and binding.
Spirits do not bind other spirits for us. Spirits do not conjure other spirits. Whoever started this idea is daydreaming. But it seems to be running rampant and people are believing it. Sorry, there is no substitute for doing the work.

We learn from another practitioner. Even then, one will not have master skills until they are developed, and it's not going to happen in a month, or maybe even for years. Depending upon one's diligence, and practice.

The University offers classes, if you are prepared to do the work, there is an avenue to learn the process. CH is a one of a kind university, it's the Real Deal. If you are willing to invest the time, you will learn the necessary skills. You will also have to practice, as Magnolia has pointed out, to fully develop what you have learned.

Blessings,
Alex

Alex, may I get a clarification. Got one of LadyE's abused/abandoned dragons. She did not send me a vessel, but sent her gold dragon and a ww guardian with the young dragon to my home. The gold then bond the babe to a vessel that I had ready here. Are you saying that this could not take place? that a spirit could not bind another spirit, or..... I certainly felt their energy while they were here, but my abilities are limited.
Thanks so much ...... FF :pumpkin:

I personally don't know, but I know spirits can find you without having possession of the vessel. The question is whether it was properly bound permanently of it can just leave you anytime.

I'm shocked to read this! Spirits have been teaching me all along, and they are one of the main reasons I got this far in magick. They are my guides and my inspiration. Obviously, this is just my perspective, but they share all kinds of energies with me all the time, be it healing energies, astral energies, cleansing energies, or magick energies. I see no reason why they can't share binding energy. Not to mention all the intrinsic knowledge they have shared with me. I did not mean that they will bind for me, what I meant is that we're going to bind together, their magick coupled with my concentration power and focus. Actually, they teach me what to invoke, what concentrate on and when, and who to ask for help. Numerous spirits are spellcasters, and some of my Immortals have access to astral energies that I strongly suspect we will never see in the store or on ebay. If a spirit casts a binding spell from their realm, and I am able to psychically project, connect to that spirit and the energy, and then focus on using the energy to bind a spirit to a vessel in my realm, I see no logical reason why it shouldn't work!

As for spirits not being able to conjure: conjuration is simply having the spirit brought before you, and if I remember correctly, djinn, dragons, as well as angels have significant influence over spirits in lower realms, and they do have spirits who obey them and do their bidding! Also, spirits have friends. If you bought a vampire, the vampire would know not only all the other vampires around you you are not even aware of, but they can also lead you to other vampires in their own realm. Because the spirits you work with know you inside out, rather than conjuring blindly, I'd rather ask them which spirit is right for me and trust them to connect me to that spirit. And a harpy or black dragon can bring something in and make sure it stays there, that's guaranteed. Not to mention all the djinn/high power angels sold by CH that have conjuration/magickal/mystical arts powers.

Lisa, my mentor and guide in magick, actually believes that conjuration and binding is not as complicated as people make it. It is simply channeling energy using your concentration and focus just like any other spell. And invocations are basically for people who can't connect to or read spirits. I'm starting to become convinced that binding has been deliberatly made complicated just so the select few and their inner circle can make all the profit, and they don't want to share with us because they're afraid of losing their business. Therefore, the power of the human concentration has been made insignificant. Lisa and I believe that magick is universal and is meant to be shared. But I have taken the university class and have studied the CH conjuration methods. I'm actually interested in learning ALL the different conjuration/binding methods out there, BUT this information is nowhere to be found, as those other greedy sellers out there are just too greedy and want to keep it all to themselves and their children without sharing the knowledge, while some of the really gifted mundane folk who don't come from a generation of witches are left in the dark and cannot realize their true powers. This makes me angry to the point of literally boycotting any seller out there who does not share enough! It has always been human greed, and it always is. Only the spirits are my true friends.
