I’m not feeling like myself today. I’m drained of energy, sick to my stomach, and I feel like I shouldn’t be where I am right now. I don’t know if it’s just my mind being ridiculous, or if it is the work of some outside force. Am I crazy for thinking that way? Whatever it is, I want it to stop.

Ever since I saw that dark shadow at my work, I feel like a part of my mind is somewhere else. I’m having a hell of a time grounding myself, and just can’t seem to think straight. I don’t exactly know what I saw that night, or if it was even anything at all. All I know is that the feeling I got when I saw it was the most intense feeling of dread I’ve ever felt in my life. I felt an emptiness within me, but also felt an intense weight at the same time. That’s the only way I can explain it.

Now, weeks later, I’m sitting in my house with the intense feeling to run, to get outside. I’m not going stir-crazy. I’m basically the true definition of a home-body. I love being home, in my space. But, I feel like there is some sort of dark cloud surrounding me, and I can’t seems to shake it. My mind keeps telling me to go outside into my backyard, like the sunlight is somehow going to cleanse this feeling off of me and shield me from this intense feeling.

Whatever this is, I hope it isn’t permanent. If something, is attached to me somehow, I don’t even know where to begin to get rid of it. How can I if I font even know what it is? I feel like something is watching me from every dark corner of my home. I don’t really believe that it is just my imagination. I really feel like something, whatever it may be, is trying to take hold of me.

The questions is: why?

Spirit Work Techniques: Keys 🗝👻

Spirit working is one of the main practices in my personal path. Because of this I don’t like using blanket wards on my property as I have many spirits I commune with on a regular basis that I don’t want to have to dismantle my wards only to put them back up again within the hour.

It’s impractical and draining (especially as a spoonie).

But obviously I don’t want to have no wards on my home as it’s a double edged sword being an experienced spirit worker- my house tends to be a beacon to all sorts of things I don’t want on my property at all.

My solution for this is an energy directive I call “spirit keys”!

You will need:

1.) a physical key (only one really- though you can astrally give them to many spirits!)

2.) string/rope/thread in a color or type that has personal meaning to you

3.) access to a physical aspect of your wards (a jar, witches ladder, crystal grid, plant, etc. Basically however you charge/tie your wards to your property or energy)

4.) pen and paper

5.) a candle and way to light it

6.) fire safe bowl/container

7.) a foundation in energy work/manipulation or visualization

Ritual:

I like to use an antique key but that’s entirely for aesthetic reasons- a cheap blank from a hardware store is just as good! Or even an old one that isn’t needed anymore or you can’t remember the purpose for.

Take the pen and paper first and write down the type of spirits you will be granting access (this can be as specific as names or as general as the type of intent they have towards you- the directed energy will take care of lie detecting for you. You can reduce it to a sigil if you like or keep it as a list. You can rewrite the list if you have elaborate additions but keep in mind you can give this key in “spirit”/astrally to specific entities you meet and determine to be trustworthy on a case by case basis.

Light the paper carefully on fire and let it reduce to ash in your fire safe bowl. Once it’s no longer hot, place the key in the bowl. Let sit while you do the next step.

Take your string and tie a knot while focusing on your wards and envisioning a lock that only your charged key will open. I like to have multiple knots/locks just for failsafe reasons- you can have as many as you feel comfortable with. You might even choose a number that is significant to you. If you want it to be a complex lock, double or triple knot in one spot. You can visualize different kinds of “locks” too- don’t be afraid to incorporate technology visuals or magical/supernatural type ones! Doesn’t have to be like the literal lock to your front door. Make sure you leave a “tail” on the string to be tied onto your key.

Take your key out of the ashes and carefully wipe off with a dry cloth or paper towel (do NOT wash). Tie the string to the key while carefully visualizing exactly how the key opens each lock (again, the visualizing/astral aspect of the key does not have to match what the key physically looks like! It can be a complex numerical passcode or a specific set of dance steps the spirit has to do 😉)

Attach your key to your physical ward base somehow. Can be as simple as setting on an altar or tying to your witches ladder, placing in your witches jar, burying in a special plant’s soil, placing under crystals you use for your ward anchor points, etc!

Have a trusted spirit test it! You may have to ask one that isn’t a companion if you have your companions already immune to property wards as I do. Have a good handle on what your key looks like astrally so you can “give” it to the spirits who need to have it. It can look however you like- again it doesn’t have to match what the actual “passcode” is. So for example, you could have it as a delicate crystal skeleton key even if the way to unlock your wards is a series of dance steps. Basically the key is like the “file” that tells your trusted entity what information they need to unlock your protections temporary. It could even be a USB drive or a special pair of dancing shoes! The more personal and significant, the stronger the energy directive!

You can absolutely turn it into a necklace or pocket charm and use for personal shield/protections when out and about as well!

Happy communing! 🧙‍♀️
