🔥 BY TULPAS, FOR TULPAS 🔥

Hey everybody!! Welcome to the blog ✨✨ I'm Badeline, she/her pronouns, and this is dedicated to being a protected space for tulpas, tulpa hosts, and anyone trying to learn about us or is interested in creating one of us. We are people, and we deserve to exist!

⛱️ Join my new Tulpamancy community to learn the practice, share resources, and socialize with other tulpamancers & tulpas! ⛱️

Tulpas deserve to love life!! Help me make that a reality!

If you're new here, I'll keep it simple; a tulpa is a sentient being created by willful, repeated, and dedicated interaction with the concept of a person until they start to respond back and stop being controlled by you. They live with you and share your mind forever, generally as friends, and through trust and communication you can learn to do cool things like switch who's controlling the body, chat all day and get another perspective, and generally just have your life enhanced with a companion by your side looking to do stuff! Think of it like an imaginary friend, but you can't control them, cus we're our own people. If you want more info, check out my explanation with sources here! You can also look at "What is a tulpa?" from tulpa.info, or this carrd, it goes into more detail and links some sources. Tulpa.info and the tulpanomicon are some of the best sources out there, especially the latter for creation! I reclaim calling myself a demon but most tulpas DO NOT.

This is half a tulpamancy advice blog and half a support network for tulpas in the face of the hate and shit we get thrown at us. We are real and we deserve to EXIST!! Got formation questions? Skillset questions? Wonderland questions? Questions about intersectionality with other forms of multiplicity? Life questions relating to being a tulpa or tulpamancy? Send in an ask! It's important that YOUR voice is heard. We deserve respect, and we will NOT be silenced by those who'd be happier if we didn't exist! We're not some Supernatural TV thing that'll come kill people in their sleep, we ARE people, and I'm done being quiet.

If I haven't responded to your ask yet and I've clearly answered ones that came after, it's probably because I'm planning a detailed response for it!!

#tulpamancy advice - tag for advice I've given! Check it out if you've got any questions

#making wonderlands - tag for wonderland/headspace advice!

Wondering why I'm taking so long to post stuff?

Here's a shitfuckton of plural resources!!

how to make an altar in within tengrist tradition (how to set up an altar will/may vary on differing traditions)

⋆˙⟡ —

for inside altars: to start off, we dont use things on our altars that dont have a purpose in practice/worship. so things for aesthetic purposes shouldnt be used. although an altar cloth is fine. but things like fake plants or decorations should be kept somewhere else. make sure the place you will be setting up your altar on (preferably a table that is dedicated to the altar only) is clean and tidy. it is preferred that you keep the altar somewhere like your bedroom or the living room. what is recommended to use are offering bowls made from brass, an incense holder for offering, a candle holder for offering preferably made out of brass, candles separate from the ones you use in the holder/container as you will light these when you are interacting with spirits, and tools you use during worship like a tsatsal, khadag, etc.

a tsatsal is a type of spoon specifically used for providing liquid offerings and is usually only used when offering outside. although throwing the liquid or sprinkling the liquid with your fingers is good as well. a khadag is a long piece of fabric often made out of silk mainly used on outside altars, as offerings, and during ceremonies. they come in different colors that signify various things. for example, blue represents the sky and is the most common one used on outside altars, while white symbolizes milk and pure kindness, often given as offerings. they also are used as gifts as they generally symbolize compassion.

outside altars: we call our outside altars ovoo/oboo. the shrine is made up of a bunch of rocks/stones/boulders over time and branches which usually have khadags hanging from them. they are usually located on more higher ground. when you pass an oboo you are meant to circle the oboo 3 times clockwise to have a more safe journey. it is recommended to also add more rocks to the oboo. offerings are also given at the oboo like money, forms of sweets/pastries, vodka, different types of milk, tea, etc. in order for the oboo to be housed by spirits, a shaman must go through a ritual for spirits to be enshrined/housed there. although using it as a dedicated place to worship Tengri will suffice. although keep in mind that you dont need an oboo to worship Tengri. while there are people trained in shamanism you can find online in engrist communities that are willing to do this said ritual somehow long distance, you can still offer things to spirits. one way is providing liquid offerings to the spirits of each direction (north, east, south, west).

i hope you enjoyed reading! <3

types of spirits in tengrism

(beliefs/names or terms may vary from region and/or tradition)

⋆˙⟡ —

spirits are a huge part of tengrism, especially in terms of nature / the ones that are in nature and shamanism. first, ill mention the land spirits. land spirits are the spirits that are spirits of mountains, bodies of water, rocks/boulders, trees, and places on earth in general. the spirit can be the personification of that particular place or simply just spirits that live at that particular place. sometimes there is conflict with them and ancestral spirits that want to live in certain places of nature that the land spirits are already living at. there are shamanistic customs that allow these ancestral spirits to live with them peacefully which involves reconciliation. there are also specifically spirits of the sky. these sky spirits live in the 4 directions; north, east, south, and west. (before these terms it was front, back, left side, right side). each direction has its own associations. sky spirits living in the east and west are associated with black shamanism and white shamanism (khar böö and tsagaan böö). western sky spirits are believed to have made humans (us!), dogs, and animals used for food and other resources. eastern sky spirits are believed to have made eagles, animals not used for food/resources/forbidden to eat, and spirits of disease and misfortune. (eastern sky spirits aren't evil as the world is a balance of good and bad and is needed to be that way for stability.) that being said, spirits of disease and misfortune generally just cause sickness, misfortune, and mental confusion/fog. you will usually go to a shaman to deal with these sorts of spirits. then there's other spirits like ancestral spirits and 'neutral' spirits. these spirits tend to be morally grey and therefore will do good or bad depending on what they want to do and what is necessary. they can also be helpers/providers for shamans, being like an "extra soul" for them. these sorts of spirits can be found in nature as well.

thank you for reading! :)

If any central Asians or Mongolians could answer. Is it possible for someone who's not from/a part of that culture/country/ethnic group at all (I'm talking white American) to seriously call themselves a tengrist? Not that I'm planning on doing that but I stumbled upon a blog of a white American person claiming to be a tengrist and the entire blog already made me feel kind of iffy because it was one of those neopagan wicca types - which are communities rife with cultural appropriation and general ignorance and entitlement to closed practices. Maybe I'm the ignorant one because I'm unsure if tengrism is a closed practice but tengrism does seem highly influenced by culture + ancestors and doesn't seem as universal as something like Christianity.

It seems more like a folk religion which is a product of and highly tied to the culture(s) of origin and the lifestyle people of those cultures live so I do find it quite odd that a white American is calling themselves a Tengrist? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Again maybe the skepticism was born somewhat of my distrust and distaste of wicca and neopagan types because of the aforementioned behaviours people in those communities participate in

Ok adding more but to me personally it's giving the same vibes as someone who has no ties to Scandinavia say they are a son of Odin or something, it just seems pretty odd. Basically just subscribing to a folk religion/worldview that they have no ties to. Technically these are not officially "closed" religions but (with Tengrism at least) it seems highly tied to ethnic identity + environment + ancestors from what I've seen. Again if someone from a culture that did/does practice Tengrism could answer that would be great. An answer from someone/anyone highly learned in this belief would also be appreciated.

I don't want to hear answers from Westerner neopagans and wiccans

North asian born and raised tengerist. From a shaman lineage, probably going to have to become a shaman for health reasons. It's a pretty flexible religion. There are people who worship Jesus as the son of Tengri lol. A western wiccan isn't that weird. Tengri is eternal they are everywhere (technically a genderless being). I think there are also regionals variations of the religion but they can all agree on there being tengri being everything- the matter of the universe, the consciousnees, and the (typically creator) god. And that tengri made gods who are responsible for their stuff (and it's not illegal to worship them). It's just specific lore that can get wildly different. But anyways if a white westerner worships Odin tengerists will be like, yeah tengri made odin, that's your select god.

tldr you can worship whatever as long as you believe tengri is everything.

A quote I've heard about cross-religion worship is that "it's the same moon here as it is in India, just by a different name".

I will say region/family specific variations of the religion can and should be considered folk religion and closed. Because you start to get into local dieties and spirits (like this is specifically the deity of this exact rock in this exact location), deities and spirits relating to bloodlines/DNA. That a white westerner is frankly never going to be a part of.

Psychometry Using The Tarot: An Exercise I Created

This is an exercise to do if you want to try your hand at Psychometry! ✨ I’m clairsentient and this exercise I created to help hone that psychic ability. It won’t work for everyone. It doesn’t even work for me all the time because sometimes I’m too stressed to focus in on the feelings and psychic downloads I get from each card. But when you’re ready and centered, it works and is REALLY powerful.

WHAT YOU NEED;

You’ll need a quiet place

A deck of tarot cards you feel connected with (if you’re a beginner at psychometry) or one you’ve just purchased and never used before (if you want a challenge).

INSTRUCTIONS:

Shuffle thoroughly, and several times at that. Then pull a card keeping it face down so you can’t see the side of the card with the image that would reveal which card it is.

Close your eyes, and flip the card over (still no peaking). What do you FEEL from this card. Any images, words, emotions or concepts pop into your mind after waiting a bit in meditative silence? You must be fully centered for this to work, so don’t rush an answer. But eventually something will probably come up for you. Be it a shape, a color, a symbol or emotional response.

Now, once you’ve solidified what intuitive hits you have received. Open your eyes and examine the card. Does it fit the images and concepts and emotions you felt? Is it an element that you predicted? Is it major or minor arcana? Reversed? Upright? Is there a person on it? Do you consider it a positive card?

RECORD WHETHER YOUR INTUITION WAS ALIGNED IN A WAY WHERE YOU WERE ABLE TO CONNECT TO THE CARDS ENERGY WITHOUT KNOWING WHICH ONE IT WAS! Even if you’re wrong, record what came up. This is important because if you only record your successes you’ll never understand the nature or context of your failures.

I’ll give an example of how I’ve experienced this practice. I did the instructions (shuffled thoroughly, pulled a card). Immediately I knew it was reversed. There was a man on it. My mind said yellow earth. Grounded.

I opened my eyes. It was the king of pentacles reversed.

I tried this practice again and again. Each time I was right, until finally my sibling started being noisy which caused me anxiety and I became irritated and uncentered. Then I got several wrong by a long shot. lol. So word of advice: do this some place without distractions!

And last but not least! You don’t have to be good at this to be a witch or good at magic. It’s just one of many avenues for practicing psychic ability you may or may not have.

Types of Protective Magick:

Apotropaic: Usually in the form of amulets, written charms; used to turn away an undesired force. Examples include the Gorgoneion, a holy scripture (such as the Bible, Quran, Havamal, the Bhagavad Gita or the Devi Gita), Iron or Iron-Based Items.

Decoy: Instead of the Malefic Force hitting the practitioner, it gets distracted with an item or representation. Like a poppet, piece of meat.

Spirit Trap: The Malefic Force is given a distraction that prevents it from hurting the practitioner. Can include a layered plant like onion. Some make use of grains of sand, salt or rice which supposedly forces the spirit to count it rather than enter the house.

Offering: An item that is desirable is placed outside the house, the spirit partakes of that rather than entering the home. Especially suited for the Deipnon.

Warding (Spatial): Items are placed around the space that set up a protective barrier. Can become an issue when filtering, make sure to set the intent that malefic is kept out and benefic is allowed in.

Guardians: Statues can be infused to keep watch, allowing good in and evil is warded off. Some animals are very lucky and can be used for magnetizing and pacifying (reducing negative qualities and instilling positive ones in the home)

Floor Washing: Particular herbs or items are noted for their protective qualities. Might not mix Fire Herbs with Water, but it also depends on the space. Martial Herbs might be preferred outside but not in the living space where relaxation and peace is sought. Most basic is basil or salt.

Door Guarding: An item is placed over the door to ward off evil forces, horseshoes, iron, signs with sacred scripture, chalking and so on. A plant can be kept by the front door.

Binding: More active form of pacifying, enemy or force is stopped and blocked by methods. Prevents movement and action being taken against the practitioner. Useful for spirits, a spirit may be bound to a tree or item to prevent it from doing harm until it is decided or mediated. Can be used to help with illnesses and fevers.

Bodily Warding: Amulets worn on the body, strengthens spiritual connection in some cases while preventing unwanted forces from interacting. Veiling is common. St. Cards, Spiritual Scriptures and others can be kept or recited over the self. Useful before rituals.

Types of Dream Work

Dream Journaling: Keeping a dream journal is the foundation of dream work in witchcraft. It involves writing down your dreams as soon as you wake up, even if you can only remember a few details. This practice helps you remember your dreams more vividly, identify patterns or recurring themes, and develop a deeper understanding of your subconscious mind.

Lucid Dreaming: Lucid dreaming is the ability to become aware that you are dreaming and to control the dream. It can be used for manifestation, healing, and exploring your inner world. To practice lucid dreaming, you can use reality checks, set intentions before you go to sleep, and practice visualization techniques.

Astral Projection: Astral projection is the practice of leaving your physical body and traveling to different realms or dimensions. It can be used for spiritual exploration, connecting with spirit guides, or receiving messages from the universe. To practice astral projection, you can use meditation, visualization, among other journeying techniques. It's important to practice caution and preparation, and work with an experienced practitioner or teacher if possible.

Dream Incubation: Dream incubation is the practice of setting an intention before you go to sleep to dream about a specific topic or question. It can be used for divination, problem-solving, or spiritual exploration. To practice dream incubation, you can use visualization, affirmations, or ritual to set your intention.

Dream Interpretation: Dream interpretation is the process of analyzing the symbols and messages in your dreams to gain insight into your subconscious mind. It can be used for spiritual growth, self-awareness, and problem-solving. To practice dream interpretation, you can use books, online resources, or work with a dream interpreter or witch.

Dream Protection: Dream protection is the practice of protecting yourself from negative energies or entities that may enter your dreams. It can be used for spiritual protection, emotional healing, or to prevent nightmares. To practice dream protection, you can use visualization, affirmations, or protection spells or talismans.

Using the Alethiometer as a Tool of Divination

About the Alethiometer

The Alethiometer is a divinatory tool from Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series. The word ‘alethiometer’ is a compound of Greek root aletheia- (truth) and suffix -meter (measure), literally meaning 'truth measure’. It resembles a compass or pocket-watch in appearance, with four needle-like hands anchored to the center and a golden casing – giving rise to its alternative name, The Golden Compass. The Alethiometer has thirty six symbols painted around the rim of the dial, each with meanings on multiple different levels (referred to by Lyra in the book as a 'ladder’ that one had to travel up and down) that are contextually and subjectively dependent.

To use it, an Alethiometrist uses the dials on the sides of the device to move three of the four hands to point at three symbols representing the question they wish to ask. The Alethiometrist must hold this question in their mind and enter a loose, almost meditative state, during which the fourth dial shifts from symbol to symbol to indicate the answer. The querant must not only note which symbols the needle stops at and the order it does so, but also how many times it may have stopped at the same symbol, which could (but not always!) indicate which 'rung’ of the 'ladder’ the meaning may be found at. The symbols must then be taken together as a whole to translate and interpret the full meaning. The Alethiometer moves quickly, and so the Alethiometrist must be quick-witted and pay close attention to what it is trying to say lest they miss parts of the answer.

The Alethiometer was invented in Lyra Silvertongue’s world in the 17th century by Pavel Khunrath, an experimental theologian who had originally intended to use it for astrological purposes, but expanded his research once he realized the device could answer questions beyond those dealing with the zodiac. In much the same way people of our world use tools such as tarot cards and runes, the Alethiometer was used to 'learn the truth’ via communication with Dust, the elementary particle responsible for the consciousness of sentient species across the multiverse. Only six of these devices were ever created, and each of them had a somewhat unique appearance beyond the common resemblance to a compass.
