Hihi everyone, just have curious question and or like what is going on kinda of deal. So I have had several about maybe 8-12 of my friends just show up or be gifts from immortals. I noticed that regardless of if the spirit / entity completed the binding or an immortal did I always felt them writing, drawing, making symbols on my back, they preferred my back but in some
cases I did have it at the front too. It sometimes also included like some kind of seal at the end which sometimes hurt alittle. I also got the normal pressure headaches or uh idk what to call them but I always get them when a binding is happening and I can sense their power kinda.
Anyway just curious what is the difference between practitioner bindings and bindings done by entities or immortals, becuase I never felt drawings on my body or anything physical apart from the head pressure or sense of their presence. Anyone with similar experiences or knowledge that can explain the differences?
Hi
The difference between 'practitioner bindings' and whatever was done by entities or immortals in relation to unbounds that 'just show up or be gifts from immortals'?
Well, first things first, what is a practitioner binding?
As far as I can tell, modern spirit keeping - for example the way Creepy Hollows do things, which I think has led the way for a lot of other practitioners - the binding is a magical process by which a spirit consents to be a lifelong companion to a living human 'keeper'.
Creepy Hollows' spirit bindings, for example the ones you can do yourself using their Shop items, have layers of spells that do various things, on top of sealing the actual agreement. (eg Protecting the binding, allowing the spirit to be comfortable in the vessel etc.)
As you probably know, practitioners use different methods and techniques. So their binding techniques can vary quite a lot.
'Bound' v 'Attached'
The language used by CH and on this Forum distinguishes between unbound spirits that have no relationship at all with the human and unbounds that have formed an attachment - the second type are called 'attached' spirits or attached unbounds. They can form an attachment by mutual consent or even without, or against, our consent.
(Malicious attached unbounds can have tethers or hooks that are visible psychically. They can be difficult to remove and then afterwards heal the parts of our energy field affected. CH are experts at this. Unbounds can even form attachments to places in our home. Most unbounds have no interest in us and just pass us by.)
Even with harmonious attachments there can be what I'd astral / psychic tethers, apart from what are called cords. (We seem to naturally establish cords with many people throughout our lives, or they cord us. Or with spirits. Cord cutting is one of the ways we can clear our energy field so that we're not running other people's energy. They often come back unwittingly by subconscious consent.)
tl/dr: I think what you described comes across to me as unbounds being brought to your attention by the entities and immortals you mentioned and perhaps some formal ritual acknowledging they have become attached companions took place.
Hopefully this was done with your consent. I'd be concerned if it was done against your consent. It also doesn't sound good to know you experienced pain or discomfort during some of these sessions. We never have to feel under pressure to consent to a spirit companion relationship. We always have the right to take time; sound out the spirit; even have a trial period before agreeing to a longer term companionship.
We can even have them bound, eg by CH, if we want. To my mind it's highly unlikely the terms of the agreement for forging an attachment with those spirits you mentioned was on the same terms as a CH binding. For one thing they would never conjure or bind a malicious being.
Do you know what the terms of the agreement were? To me that's at least as important as taking time before you make up your mind.
Hope that was useful.
