Spirit work advice from an exorcist:

a-magpie-witchling

99% of the time spirits are harmless. A disturbing presence doesn’t equate to a dangerous one. Mostly they’re just there, chilling. Let them.

However. If you’re dealing with something that’s actually dangerous (namely tried to kill you, strangled you, you’re literally seeing it advancing on you trying to stab you, has cut you or attempted it, etc.) ignore it.

Ignoring a dangerous spirit is extremely powerful. It’s a form of containment in and of itself. “I’m not letting you do anything to me, you’re powerless”. Creating barriers and protections gives you this mental image that the entity can fight it, and thus they’re necessary. Nullify it by simply refusing to acknowledge the creature’s power.

Example:

Last Samhain a mirror exploded by my mentor out of nowhere. We’ve got it on video, the shit literally ejected from the wall in shards. She wasn’t harmed, luckily, because she moved a few seconds before the explosion.

What did she do?

She calmly walked towards the mess, cleaned it up, and continued minding her own business. 

Keep control of the situation. If you encounter a screamer, advance on it and scream louder. If something tries to physically attack you, just ignore it.

Our thoughts and emotions are energy, energy that often feeds the spirits. No matter what branch of exorcism you’re following, keep in mind that they all agree that you have to remain calm and that an unflinching exorcist is a safe exorcist.

The moment you feel your mental resolve is wavering and you can’t deal with the entity, contact someone with more experience and let them handle the entity.
