A short Note: I was at work and work is boring so I started thinking up a bunch of random Witchy and Spirit Keeping related questions. This is one of the two that stuck in my head so I figured, why not ask on break!

Welp, here I am!

Normally I bother searching up general terms relating to my question but since I only have two minutes to type it out you're gonna have to forgive me for possibly missing my answer in the depths of CH forum posts.

That said I have a few questions.
1. Can our Spirits possess us (ie. Control our bodies, like full on possessions not just Telepathy or mental manipulation)
2. Is Voluntary possession possible in relation to number one
3. Is this ethical? And would it count as bonding if it were?


Not gonna lie...zombie movies made me think of this. So it's more a fun or weird question than anything else. XD

Yes. The topic you want to research is “channeling.” I think “possession” is accurate when you are letting them drive the whole car instead of just the mouth, but you’ll get more useful information with “channeling.” A fun one might also be the Voodoo concept of letting the Gods ride your head.

Everything about that sounds...amusing and amazing. For various reasons. :P
Is that also an actual thing? XD
How does that function?

Yes! It's just another way of thinking/talking about channeling, really. I think similar language is used in Spiritist churches.

From a CH perspective, based on some earlier posts, they have said that SPIRITS do not possess. Only living entities possess. In addition, my understanding is that it is done as a subversion to you, like an attack. Could you volunteer for that? I think so, absolutely. Although I'm not certain it would be enjoyable. Also, your bound spirits would likely never do this (assuming they even could) even if you asked them to as this would be seen as an attack and I think - particularly CH bound spirits - they cannot do this as part of the protections in the bindings.

Channeling, however, like Alys said, is a different thing. And it is fully possible to channel a spirit in your keep and otherwise.

I looked up hosting via CH search function and couldn't find much after four pages. How deep do I need to dig? XD
