Walking With Spirits

The ramblings and musings of a modern day Shaman.

[witchy-angelic-deactivated20191]

Hey guys, I’m Bri and I need help buying my meds. To be specific, anti-anxiety/depression/mood changes meds. Also we need some food rn, we’re lacking a lot of basic things.

If I go a long time without my meds, I’ll probably have a bad breakdown and maybe even relapse (ED).

Because of this I’m offering (in a pay what you can kind of way):

✨5 yes or no pendulum questions

✨7 sigils

✨Specific aura readings from pictures

✨Complex and custom spells

Paypal

Message me if you’re interested!

Shoutout to @witchy-angelic who needs some help right now. Medication is so important to maintaining a sound mind and a sound body, so if anyone can help her out, you definitely should! I’m also going to refrain from discussing how fucked up the US medical system is right now. This blog isn’t for that

What are Energy Fields?

There are various theories about what these fields are. Since we have so little scientific research on human energy fields, it's impossible to say for certain. And the matter is further complicated by the fact that there are different types of energy fields that layer through one another.

The best definition that I’ve encountered so far is that an energy field is exactly what it sounds like – an area of energy. This energy is often spiritual or emotional in nature and influences almost everyone within them, especially highly sensitive people, such as a Shaman. For a highly sensitive person, these energy fields are almost tangible and can be physically felt – as if they are walking into a cloud of emotion. Additionally, a Shaman’s energy field can be considerably stronger than a non-Shaman’s energy field, making them exceptionally beneficial or exceptionally dangerous, depending on the nature of the field. 

A Shaman will likely work with energy fields on a regular basis, meaning it’s important to familiarize yourself with how energy fields work, how to catch and hold onto positive energy fields, and how to protect yourself against negative ones.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this. Been pretty busy for the last few days, but your blog strikes me as a butterfly. The butterfly represents transformations and change, balance, grace, acceptance, the soul, and vulnerability. 

[amoderndayshaman]

I'm loving the idea of this! If you are still giving out animal themes based on blogs, would you mind doing one for me? If so what animal do you see for me? Thank you so much in advance for this! (Also like just discovered you and I don't know why it took so long lol)

Your blog strikes me as a deer! The deer represents compassion, peace, intellegence, gentleness, kindness, gracefulness, and subtlety. It’s also very closely associated with femininity and adventure.

And to be fair, I just started this blog a few days ago, so you found me pretty quickly!

Accurate representation of the first time I met my guide.

[amoderndayshaman]

I boop ya for the blog guiding spirits :P

At first glance, your blog screams “Raven.” The Raven represents magic, introspection, self-realization, transformations, and has a very close association with death. Plus, you generally seem fond of birds.

But the second spirit guide I would say is the Cobra. The Cobra isn’t just associated with death, he has the power of death as well as life. The Cobra also represents transformations, swift and decisive action, and is intemently connected with eternity.

Do you still sometimes get scared before or during extremely high dose psychadelic trips? I do. Usually at some point I’m met with a wall of anxiety and fear. But just beyond that wall of anxiety and fear…is freedom. SURRENDER. This line of work isn’t for everyone, but then again we all have our unique gifts that we bring to the world. All beings have the potential to become The Shaman, but very few have the courage to walk the path. I’d also like to add that just taking high doses of psychadelics doesn’t make you a shaman either. I know humans who regularly abuse plant medicines and get absolutely nothing from it. INTENTION and INTEGRATION. It’s not just about “getting there”. It’s “getting there”, making changes, integrating them into your life, then communicating that information to other beings in a way that allows them to discover it for themselves.

Blog Spirit Guides

I saw something kind of like this and thought it might be fun. Send me a message in my ask box and I’ll tell you what animal your spirit guide is, based on your blog.

Positivity Oil

I made this blend without checking correspondences first. I just threw together all my citrus oils because I love the smell of citrus. Later I checked the correspondences and went “Huh, those work decently together in a magical sense.” Play with the proportions as needed, this isn’t an exact science. Just add oils until you like how it smells. Maybe you like sweet orange more than lemon. idk. You do you, boo.

3 drops lemon essential oil

2 drops grapefruit esssential oil

1 drop sweet orange essential oil

Sunflower oil base

-Lemon is associated with washing away any negative gunk in both a mundane and a spiritual sense - Grapefruit is also used for cleansing and purification - Sweet orange brings love, luck, money, and blessings to the business or home. - Sunflower oil is associated with the sun, solar energy, happiness, and positivity (also has very little scent of its own, for maximum citrusness)

It’s mostly an oil I use for cleaning/cleansing, with just a smidge of extra niceness added to it. And sometimes I just put some in an oil warmer for no other reason than citrus scents make me happy.

7 Tips for Astral Projection

Astral projection can be a very fun experience and, despite what you may have heard, it’s also very safe. It can provide you with quite a bit of insight and also leave you feeling well rested and recharged. Astral projection is an important aspect of Shamanism, so I figured I would share some tips and tricks for your next journey, or for people who are just learning. 

1) Try to astral project in the morning or during the day. If you attempt at night, it’s very easy to fall asleep before you can separate the soul from the body. Once you get more experienced, you may be able to astral project at night, but I’ve always found it more tricky. 

2) Start out small. When you first begin astral projecting, don’t try to explore the entire world. Start with your house or apartment, then move on to your neighborhood, then to your town, so on and so forth. Give yourself time to get used to your astral body and remember that before you can walk, you have to learn to crawl. 

3) Take protective measures before you start projecting. I recommend envisioning a powerful and dense white light surrounding your body, as if you were inside of a large bubble. Kind of like the good witch from The Wizard of Oz. 

4) Remove any heavy clothing or jewelry that you may be wearing. 

5) Choose a dark room to astral project in, but not pitch black. You don’t want much light, but you do want at least a little bit. 

6) Know that you can’t communicate with a person in the physical world while astral projecting, unless that person has exceptionally strong psychic or spiritual abilities. 

7) When you meet your astral/spirit guides, respect them and listen carefully to everything that they have to say. All of it is important and all of it is designed to help you. When you meet your guide, you will feel a certain connection to them that can’t be ignored.

Signs of Shamanism

While these are not guaranteed to mark a person as a Shaman, many of the items on the following list are defining symptoms of Shamanism. The more of these symptoms that a person has, the more likely they are to be a Shaman. 

Have you ever _____? 

HAD A NEAR DEATH OR OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE 

Known who was calling you on the phone, before you look

Thought of a person, and suddenly heard from them

Sensed the thoughts or desires of others around you

Perceived things others can't – such as lights, auras, nonphysical beings, etc.

Known things that you couldn't logically know (Psychic intuition)

Craved silence and solitude, and found that too long without it messes up your emotional equilibrium

Needed to regularly spend time in nature

Been susceptible to over-stimulation, and generally needed a calm environment

Felt the pain of the world, or the pain of others, within your own heart

Known what people are feeling, even when they haven’t given any outward signs

Stepped into a building or touched an object only to have gotten a very uncomfortable sensation, which made you want to immediately leave or put the object down 

Been in a good mood, and for no particular reason, suddenly felt anxious, angry, or sad

Felt very uncomfortable in crowds, shopping malls, cities, or public transport

Had a group of friends who all experience similar things in a very short period of time

Had trouble functioning in a material setting and/or felt as if you “don’t fit” in this world

Felt alien to this world and your family, as if you ended up on Earth by mistake

Suffered from extreme allergies or other systemic illnesses

found yourself drawn to those who need a lot, or found those who need a lot are drawn to you

Healed people through your touch, prayers, or intention

Worked in the healing or teaching professions

Again, relating to these does not mean that you are a Shaman, but it does mean there is a higher chance of you being a Shaman. It’s also important to note that certain mental illnesses can mimic Shamanism, leading to widespread misdiagnosis of both mental illnesses and Shamanism. It’s VITAL that you continue researching BOTH POSSIBILITIES if you suspect either to be the case.

Soul Sick

It’s possible to have a sickness of the soul. When this happens, your entire existence can feel wrong, almost as if your body doesn’t fit you correctly. You can find yourself in a horribly negative mood and wishing that you could stop existing for a while. Your day to day life may feel like a touch screen that isn’t properly calibrated. It will still function, sure - but everything will be slightly off, and you compensate by doing things sideways, so to say. 

This is a normal sickness of the soul and is nothing to worry about - it’s treatable. 

Like with any disease, the first thing you need is rest and water. What’s good for the body is also good for the soul. Keep that in mind. It’s also important to take some time to meditate. Realign yourself. Find the source of your sickness and find a way to overcome it, or let it go. Either treatment is acceptable, whichever works for you. Finally, make sure that you take the next few days to love and care for yourself. Nothing is better for the soul than self love.
