I was wondering what advice can you give me involving wards and protection?

Hey Starling!We have a post right here that could help you!

What protection and cleansing spells do you use?

depends. personal or for space?

for personal i would say simple shower or bath and asking water to exorcise all impurities and protect me

for space: i am energy-work centered so my spells have no words and no ingredients. i just shoot energy shields where i need them and i’m done. :)

I haven't done a thing so idk why they'd trust me, but I am extremely happy/excited to hear that. :D

AND I AM AGAIN HAPPY FOR YOU <3

I think I just talked to one of my spirit guides. I didn't have much time because my body kept getting hotter (if that makes sense) but I'm unsure if it was just my imagination. I felt warm and at peace. He was in a human form, though I had trouble seeing it, and he said he was a dragon. I didn't ask for his name (which I feel bad about) but yea I'm just unsure but at the same time I'm really sure. Advice?

ok so about human form: don’t worry. many dragons can shapeshift to whatever they please. said black dragon, i mentioned before, did that trick on me which was like... 100% distracting bc he knew very little about humans and... wanted to talk to me while naked LOL. gladly i told him that either he is dragon or i won’t talk. ufff, good that he listened back then xD

asking about name... idk if it would be good for you. you are unable to pronounce spirits’ names, even in astral, so if he would give you his name and you’d mispronounce it , it might get you in trouble. names are big deal on astral and that’s why it’s important to know the rules: it’s best to avoid name-giving as much as you can and give your name only to spirits you trust. using birth name is fine, but if you know your TRUE name is best to NEVER tell it to anyone. names have power over you. birth name is not name that would control you when given to some wrong spirit, but it allows them to track you down, so be careful with that as well. (some ppl use different name on astral just to be sure)

like with my first dragon guide: i gave her name as a gift, for which she agreed to be my guide, but in exchange she wanted name to be never mentioned outside astral. Human mind is freaky thing bc it can’t hold a secret like that for long, so i once slipped and told my friend, which resulted in HUGE breaking of her [dragon’s] trust. ever since when before i was 100% sure about astral dragon plane, now whenever i spend too much time on astral a side effect is feeling like i’m going insane/like i’m making dragons up, even though before i didn't have problems like that.

as to real/not: you will struggle with this a lot. sometimes you will 100% doubt it, it’s normal. i have a rule: if you can’t change how a spirit in astral reacts and behaves and also if you can’t change the time of the day (if it’s day try imagining it’s night ) and also if you get some physical feelings from spiritual exchange, then you know it’s real.

I was wondering, can your dragon companion tell if any of the "dragons caught on tape" are real? Most I've found seem fake but there's one or two I'm unsure about because of the quality.

I never tried asking this for one simple reason: from what i know dragons avoid living in our world at all costs. they even created separate place surrounded by very strong magick on astral, so that no uninvited human could not see a hatchlings or snatch the eggs.  I am not 100% sure but i think this place is even on SEPARATE astral plane, that exists independently and outside from dragon one.

I have been blessed and honored with possibility to see the eggs and take care of them once, as reward for one of my quests with them, and let me tell you: dragon would never let a hatchling into human world. and if hatchlings aren’t allowed, then adult dragons shouldn’t be, too.

of course i guess you could bet that there would be few outsiders who broke this rule, but it’s very wild guess. Not many would oppose dragon rules, it’s dishonorable and dragons value honor, knowledge and bravery the most. Not to mention it would be seen as betrayal against what i call Dragon Counsel (idk how dragons call it but basically it’s group of wisest and highest in hierarchy dragons, who say what is allowed and what is not). So yeah, i guess they would be a traitor and hide from both humans AND dragons, bc either way an elder can get a free pass to our world to punish said traitor. no mercy to traitors, whatsoever.

maybe that’s why in fairytale it’s said they live in mountains in human world, bc there are often many underground tunnels there and it reminds them of home AND is good hiding place that even another dragon would, in theory, have difficulty to find. 

so yeah, i doubt any of these are real. humans might be smart but outsmarting a dragon who is in hiding? impossible. they have hundreds years of experience and knowledge

(again, i hope you don’t mind me publishing this. i just thought this to be interesting  and wanted to share:) )

I asked for proof of dragon and when I came inside dad asked me if I had seen a dragon fly so I go back out and there is a big ass dragonfly the size of my hand on my grandmas window.

PLS DON’T MIND ME PUBLISHING IT THIS IS TOO AMAZING NOT TO SHARE

LOL

they surely have a sense of humor. mine weren’t that funny :P when i once asked (*DARED* i *DARED* him) to prove he is real he managed to give me a very very long talk/lecture with my cousin about my fam. And she didn’t even say anything dragon-ish. it was just feeling of “THIS IS IT!!! THIS IS HOW THAT ASSHOLE PLAYS!!! ok NOW ASSHOLE U MIGHT BE REAL OR U MIGHT BE NOT BUT UR ASSHOLE”

sorry, black dragon. lol idk why i write this he would probably get mad bc he is very high in hierarchy and i call him asshole xD
