Spirit Magick

It can be argued that Spirit Magick is the base of all magick, but most people believe it is the heart. Spiritual essence is the basis for most spells and acts of magick, and it is also by far the most complex.

The most important rule when it comes to soul magick is Like Calls To Like. This is how to lift another essence from something or someone.

Everything has a soul or essence, even non-living things, because of how they were made. It’s just that the non-living soul essence cannot be reborn, and it has limited use.

To eject a spirit is to eject the soul from a body. Astral projection is when the entire essence of one’s soul (that top layer) is sent into other dimensions or dreams. In Astral Projection form, fewer things can be done. One can eject a spirit and then do an astral projection. To expel spiritual essence is taking some of the essence from one’s body to use for spirit magick.

To perform most spirit magick, one has to expel their spiritual essence and then use it in a specific way, like writing symbols with an incentive. Spiritual essences can be any color, depending on the person.

One can eject their soul from their body, but if their soul stays outside of their body for too long, it becomes very easy to destroy, and there is a chance the body may die, and then the soul has nothing to go back to.

The anatomy of a soul is layers. The soul consists of layers equal to the number of times a person or creature has been reborn, and typically, the very top of the first layer is the essence. An Empty Vessel is when someone only has one layer because they are a newly born soul. It is like a thin veil. Empty Vessels typically can’t astral project or do a spirit ejection because their soul is too weak. Their spirit is ready to sink somewhere else and let others take over. Where they sink to is a place that was gifted to them so that they have a sense of place and belonging, although, to some, it’s torture. It’s like a placenta to help the soul survive its first life. Because of its desire to fall into that place, spirits can easily take over empty vessels.

An ejected soul or a spirit can take over a body with no soul if it isn’t dead or an Empty Vessel.

Some souls flow more freely than others and others want to stay with their bodies like a magnet.

It has been practiced to try to get spirits or essences to meld or mold with each other, but when that happens, it is hard for the weaker spirit or essence not to disintegrate into the original soul.

There has to be very certain circumstances for this to be able to happen. In Deep Magick Market research, two alive souls can be combined if one is on the brink of death and they have the want and need to stay alive. A soul that has the willpower and is willing to bestow its soul to someone who wasn’t the one who set them on the path to death. But those are not the only requirements to make it happen. Both souls have to be able to mesh and connect the way they need to; otherwise, there can be conflicting reactions. There is also a problem if a spirit is too big to fit with the other. If the spirit is not condensed first by stripping past lives, it may completely kill the spirit for good.

Souls can break by certain means and be damaged typically by trauma. Trauma is taking a knife to the soul. Rarely can they be fully destroyed. Even if someone tries to strip past lives from a spirit, it will normally fall back into where it came from to be reborn again before all the past lives are stripped. No one can stop the process of it returning.

Creatures can eat parts of souls. This is rare.

Things that can be done with Spirit Magick:

One can freeze/paralyze people. To do this, one needs to write the correct symbol with soul magick (either their own or others) on their palms, and it doesn’t last very long.

One can destroy spirits with a clap of a hand. This only works if the spirit has been out of its host for a long time and is not bonded to something. This is something that is taught in the Deep Magick Market.

One can suck up a destroyed spirit to use for spirit magick to build up reserves and not waste their own. But that is very advanced magick, is looked down upon, and is not taught somewhere respectable.

On the same lines, something that is more acceptable, one usually or can borrow spiritual essence from something. This is less invasive and means not taking the whole spirit. But it is hard to take essence from a person or creature without dipping into their soul and finding that line. That is mainly because the soul wants to stick and stay intact with the essence, so one ends up drawing most of it. But using other essences only gives a boost to most spells. But using only essences if borrowing essence keeps the object or person from being destroyed in the process of borrowing.

When essence is taken from an object, it replenishes by being used again how it is supposed to be used. When an object has been used, made a home, or is a strong memento, there is more essence to take from it. There is more soul.

Along the same lines, to replenish essence to a living thing, that living thing needs to do something it loves, sometimes this can happen in dreams.

Destroying one’s own spirit while performing spirit magick is hard to do because spirit magick actively drains the person using it, which normally stops them before they can use too much or damage themselves.

If a spirit is taken from a body, the body may die or decay without that essence. So, if you take a living thing’s soul, you leave it to die. But thankfully, it is hard to take an entire soul from a human or creature. Trees or plants are easier to take souls from, especially if they are younger. For trees, though, it is hard to separate the essence from all the layers the trees have in terms of soul because the souls of the trees before it that made it are also in the tree.

Interesting facts:

When you trace symbols with spirit magick, normally, it will glow slightly

Once you start learning spirit magick and get to a certain point, you can start seeing spirits

A black marble slab makes it easier to extract souls because of the depth it gives

You can draw soul essence out of a piece of hair

You can expel your essence, cut it away from you, and blow the symbol onto something

Soul magick can be mixed with memory magick, which helps to feel a loved one’s essence. It has to be put somewhere where it can be honored so it will thrive and live on as an essence. Otherwise, the essence will die out.

Destroyed souls can be stored and used in certain items.

Glue spells are a part of spirit magick and symbol magick. Glue spells are very quick and easy to do and are used in Lockdrest to keep Spirit Sprites from stealing things. Most people can’t unglue a glue spell unless it is their own, unless they are an expert and the glue spell was badly done. There are some things that can be spelled so that glue spells won’t work on them. In glue magick, if you want to make the soul stick, you have to give it a reason to. A symbol is drawn, and then the object’s essence is slightly called out to mesh with one’s own to form the bond. It takes time to learn but then becomes as quick to do as signing a name. To unglue, one has to trace the symbol the opposite way, giving it the right incentive. You may run into the issue of a few pages being stuck together when gluing and ungluing a book.

Banning something like a creature who is meant to cause mischief is easy to do. That is because the incentive is stronger to want to keep the creature away. Also, they don’t have the magick or wits to fight against the ban. In order to ban spirits, you think in your mind how much you want it to be gone, then you draw the symbol with your essence, which is shaped like a lock. Spirits and humans are not like small, mischievous creatures and are harder to ban.

Spirit magick can condense a spirit and strengthen it by stripping away some of its old past lives and turning it mostly to essence, but it is looked down upon and hard to do. Also, the magick to do that is not taught by respectable sources.

One can change something’s color, but it is argued that the type of magick is typically transformation magick.

A good exercise to try with spirit magick is making one’s essence go in and out of a tree to see what one can feel from it.
