How to Tell Ghosts, Entities and Humans Apart

As citizens of multiple realms, witches often come across supernatural beings. But it would be stupid to attribute every strange encounter to magic. Did you really see a creature of the occult? Or was that just your weird ex on the lurk?

Skin

Ghosts appear to me as shadowy figures. They always have black, see-through skin. Entities, on the other hand, tend to have unrealistically smooth and even skin. No creases, no pores, no contour – when even the most delicate human skin has imperfections and variations.

Philtrum

Entities have no philtrum – that vertical groove between our lips and nose, right above the Cupid’s bow. This is in relation to the above. Because their skin is so flawless, there are no indentations. Also in light of the above, it follows that in ghosts, you would not even notice this.

Hair

Whether they are bigger or smaller than humans, entities have cartoon-looking hair. You cannot make out the separate strands. It just looks like one, shiny blob. Because like their skin, their hair is extremely smooth. While ghosts – usually souls of the long-dead – tend to wear a hat, a hood or a veil.

Scent

Ghosts are incapable of emitting a smell. Entities, however, rival our perfumes and garbage. When they exude a strongly sweet smell, it is because they mean well. But when something smells rotten, and you cannot locate the source, it is likely coming from a very angry entity.

Stare

The longer you stare at a ghost, the more their face becomes monstrous. Because you are exhausting their ability to stay corporeal. So you will see their features melting… Unlike humans, entities rarely blink. And the blacks in their eyes are like liquid. You will notice them flowing.

Voice

In timbre, volume and accent, all three have similarities. But ghosts can speak without opening their mouth, though they tend not to use words when communicating. Entities are talkative. Many like saying nasty words for fun. And they sometimes speak in old languages you may not understand.

Atmosphere

This is the most important and obvious of them all. In fact, this is the only clue I really observe.

Humans do not change a room’s atmosphere. Ever. We affect the mood of the other people in the room. But the space itself is immune to our influence.

Ghosts, however, make everything slightly darker when they are around. Light simply dims and flickers in their presence. Therefore, it also tends to get colder.

As for entities, they silence the atmosphere. The air conditioner’s hum goes away… The crickets stop chirping… The cars outside go quiet… Because entities are powerful beings who demand to be felt.

How can we learn energy work?

I tried looking up healing practices because I feel really drawn to them but I either find Facebook moms scams, website that aren’t precise at all, or stuff that sets off my internal bullshit alarm

Is there any practices I can learn on my own without having to find a IRL practitioner ?

Okay so I have a few options for you, healing energy work was the type of thing I was first introduced and I’ve learned a thing or two, spoiler alert: it varies greatly from any source I could give you.

In practice, it’s all about finding your best suited tool for healing, it’s all about meditation and bending your energy with your tools (? I don’t know if it makes sense, I’ve encountered someone whose healing tool was water, so he’d meditate while placing his hands under running water, I used to do healing energy work with laughter and dancing as a child, my maestre does healing work while working out so really it’s all about finding that je ne sais quoi that feels comfortable for you.

HOWEVER in theory, I could maybe try and find a good book for you lol

Hi, I wanted to ask since you seem to be a good reader, how do you clear your energy before tarot? I know not having a clear head or energy can sometimes mess with the reading and I want to get as objective as possible here but I don’t know what to do aside from taking deep breaths so any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

hello!

i use intention. intention is very powerful! when creating my blog, or posts i set intentions in it. i’m a person who generally has a neutral view on things, yet sometimes mental illnesses can get in the way, so what i do is ‘distract myself’ so i can focus on the readings better. for the readings i use the intention ‘’please, show me what i can/should say!’’ and get then messages through cards and intention.  

personally, i’m flattered you call me a good reader because like, unlike many i don’t do meditation, or i don’t clean energies the ways it’s normally done so i don’t know whether what i do is right or wrong. mostly, my intuition is correct because of trusting that whatever card/message i get is right. like, when i do readings, there are certain things that come to my head, and then my ego could deny it or be confused, that lets me know that the first thought i had was correct! 

when i did personal astrology mini readings, i just said whatever came to my mind (without cards), details, energy, auras - and i tried to write down the things that instantly came to my mind (it’s like, you need to recognize what you think for the first milisecond) and that practiced my intuition. which is why now, most of the time, i don’t really do anything? i come to tumblr with the intention of waiting for asks/messages, i answer asks with the intention to help and answer questions and i do readings with the intention of reading for others. everything has intention. 

when you open the fridge, you do it with the intention to eat. when you organize your desk, you do it with the intention of clearing your energy. doing things with intention can help you believe things and manifest even! you can say ‘’i intend to drink this tea, and everytime i drink it i will be lucky in my studies’’. intention is like a good luck charm! i mentioned a lot of this in me healing with me vol 1. but for reading it’s the same. instead of overthinking and worrying whether it’s right or wrong, just ‘trust’ that your guides will give you the cards you are meant to see/show and give you messages you were meant to hear. by intending while shuffling, for example ‘’the cards will show me the answer to the question of (...) without my mind interfering’’ you could get answers that have nothing to do with you! you could also try asking your guides per cards things like, ‘’are these cards the answer?’’ ‘’is this answer correct?’’ or ‘’did my mind/energy interfere with it?’’

Tips for lazy witches

We all love our witchcraft but sometimes you’re just too tired to do some certain things so here is a list to help make a busy witches life a little easier.

• too exhausted to make a sigil? Go onto sigilscribe.me and it creates a perfect sigil for you all you need to do is charge it!

• if you wear glasses enchant them so when you wear them when your tired they will help your eyes more

• when casting a circle do it metaphorically instead of lying down crystals, stones, salt etc.

• use music lyrics if you are too tired to create a spell

• want to increase or decrease things? Stir tea clockwise (increase) anti-clockwise (decrease)

• enchant your bed on a good energy day so on a low energy day it may help

• make little pre-made ritual and spell kits/bags so when you need to preform something all your measured ingredients and supplies are already there

* Happy enchanting 🖤✨🌙

what is a epiphany you had that made everything click for you?

that im different.

i used to base all of my opinions, goals and dreams on what others around me were doing but then i realised i didn’t want to do any of that, i didn’t want to be in corporate and work 9-5 jobs. i would rather spend the rest of my life relaxing, learning (not for academics) but learn to understand the world better and educate myself. i would rather spend my time traveling and embracing other people’s cultures and create, make art and design stuff

i don’t believe in hustle culture at all.

ever since i accepted myself for how different i am, things shifted. i became more calm with myself, i stopped stressing. i stopped worrying about other people’s opinions. i stopped hating myself. i understood myself better.
