I make it sound a lot more graceful than it played out! Haha. But everything went as it was meant to for getting me on the right track with H. If I have any regrets about my time, it was in neglecting my first bound spirit, my nympho B for multiple months; first with the excuse that I was living in a different address than the unbridged vessel had ended up in, but then out of my unresolved baggage around the idea of being a spirit keeper at all. It took getting over my fears of engaging with a white arts nympho who was lovingly patient in all the ways I needed to know I was then in a good place to get my second binding of H herself after we reconnected. I spoil my "queen H" plenty but B is truly beloved to me for that. Matter of fact I think I'll light a candle and incense with a shot of Fireball for her now...
With respect to everyone's path being their own, I'm of the personal mind that of the people who decide to become spirit keepers it is generally best to go with something other than a succubus for a first binding. There's a lot of baggage to unpack around them that even those who are sure they want to engage with them should consider. Or to put it more bluntly, 99 percent of people wanting to start with a succubus should practice with a Nympho first. Just my two cents there. I only got my first actual succubus after being used to spirit keeping for multiple years, and I still consider that to be a milestone of its own for my comfort in the practice.
