Creating servitors while nervous, and having no one to practice with

[CrowsKeep]

My apologies for taking over this board, and any typos that may follow as I just woke up. This is also pretty dang long, so bear with me!

Okay SO, I'm still interested in creating servitors, believe it or not, but I saw a video from someone on YouTube where she shared basically a horror story of something that a servitor she had created did. This was on one the more traditional servitors (you give it a task it does it and isn't super sentient) but basically, she put her energy into creating it, but the energy wasn't super focused because she was kinda skeptical. And I'm wondering, can the same thing happen with fear? I do most of my spells kinda nervous, and nothing bad has happened with those, but I mostly do smaller spells (positive relationship attraction, psychic development, telepathy enhancer, that kind of thing) and they all work really well, I'm just worried, that if I give something a mind to choose, it may like, idk, fall into the fear I created it with? I'm planning to do a few small servitors first (one of a dog, a rat that kind of thing, and those are just a few on my list). But the thing is, I don't know if I'll ever grow out of this fear, as as long as I've been doing spells, I still have a bit of fear. I'm almost always able to quell it during mediation to actually do the spell, and I'm going to finally make a spell for calming down and less intrusive thoughts during spellwork, so that should help! Okay, on to my next point.

I have, absolutely zero people to practice doing anything in winged wolf's book. There are SO many things that you need to practice doing with people, and I don't have anyone! My only friend who I trust to do this stuff with me (and who would actually be able to do it with me) is states away, and can't call very often. My grandma and mom, while both very gifted, don't really approve of my spellwork I DEFINITELY don't want them knowing about me creating servitors. So I can't really do anything with anyone, at the moment. So, my question is to you guys, what the heck could I do instead? I know that with traditional servitors, you don't really need to practice, because they're usually just helpers with things you could do on your own, but with the ones with personalities, you have to be able to do telepathy and it's just... Tricky when you have no one to learn with.

Also, how would you check that you servitors are doing what they're supposed to be doing and look right without astral projecting? Can you sense it from just energy alone?

I think there's a paranormal principle worth pointing out here, which is: when doing conjuring, conjurers are advised to be at their best, physically, mentally, emotionally and psychically/spiritually.

So choose times like that to do intensive paranormal work.

Learn and practice protection methods - for yourself and your space.

You would not be doing the wrong thing if you were also to cleanse and calm yourself before doing the work.

You may well also have read here about centering and grounding.

We can never have too much protection etc . But it is possible to ignore that altogether - I wouldn't recommend it.

Also:

- Taking time to practice and perfect the learning stages that precede the servitor creation should teach you and your mind how to focus successfully. That experience then can be taken with you into the servitor creation stage. Don't rush it.

- Have you ever practiced a mental focus exercise? One method is to put a dot in the centre of a blank piece of paper, place it several feet in front of you, then see how long you can stare at it without breaking focus. Do it daily for 7 days and see how long you manage to do it for by the end of the week. If you want to really improve, keep doing it daily until you can sustain focus for 5 minutes.

Regular, consistent practice of either of those builds a habit and reassures your body and mind that it's okay and that it works. The mind realises nothing bad has happened and the fear factor subsides.

Or...if you come to the conclusion that, because of fear, servitor creation is not for you, there's nothing wrong with that.

Yes, it's possible to sense what your servitor is up to psychically.

Any new skill takes time. None of us is going to be able to take a block of rough stone and on our first, second, third, or even fourth effort produce a lifelike statue. We need to be prepared to put in a lot of time and effort. That can produce good results.

A long time ago I got a book called Chinese Yoga which set out daily and weekly practices. Following that exactly took 2 whole years of daily and weekly practice, working through to the more advanced and advanced practices.

Even if you're not working to a development plan that has been laid out for you, you can devise your own schedule.

But keep at it until you achieve your goal. Take as long as it takes.

Fwiw that's my advice.

By the way, I don't think creating a servitor with someone else is a good idea. You use your own energy and program it yourself.

I've not heard of that and would strongly advise against it. Especially as you're a novice.

Oh! I'm not creating a servitor with a anyone! There's just a few skills in the book that you need a partner to practice with, just that basics of skills your servitor would need, that kind of thing! That's what I'm talking about LOL!

Hello! I just wanted to give a little update that I figured out what was freaking me out about creating one. It's not about the actual creation of one that scares me, it's the intrusive thoughts that happen when I go into meditation, so, I think I will use a method that has less meditation, like a sigil method! While I know it does still use some visualization, it doesn't use as much as WW method does!

Oh! I'm not creating a servitor with a anyone! There's just a few skills in the book that you need a partner to practice with, just that basics of skills your servitor would need, that kind of thing! That's what I'm talking about LOL!

Theoretically you don't need local people for those things. You can do those exercises with astral projection.
Only thing is, you'd have to be able to communicate physically.
For telepathy you don't even need astral projection.
Very theoretically you wouldn't even need real time communication, but that's already an advanced energy working thing like imbuing something with an image/thought.

Also if you create servitors I hope you're also prepared to destroy them. So you shouldn't make them too cute or anything in the beginning or else you might get too attached and project your emotions and whatnot onto them, even if they go rogue.

That's why I prefer to stick to simple constructs, without consciousness or personality. I've done otherwise and had them checked by keepers (very inconsistent) and practitioners, but they can only do so much and not for an extended period of time and I'm biased, so it wasn't safe enough for my liking to continue doing that. Especially with my senses being all over the place.

Thank you! I will take your advice! I still a bit of preparation to do before I can create one!
