Here’s your annual reminder ouija boards aren’t dangerous, or spooky portals to contact demons. They’re used to talk to ONLY spirits, they let the spirits that are already around you have a chance to speak and it all depends on your own input, if you go into it wanting to talk to a demon guess what? You’ll get a spirit that takes acting to a whole new level.
If a spirit wants to tell you about their past or share personal things with you, thats their decision. They dont NEED you to cope.
The tumblr spirit keeping community and practitioners are making me rage
Spirits aren’t precious little muffins uwu q~q that need delicate handling and care like children and soft beds and lots of cuddles and time to be (uwu) cared for and oh help them get over their traumas, and now you are their new mommy.
Spirits are super-human–that is, literally above humans, human needs, human care, and human concepts of time and space. You are not adopting a pet or a child. You are contacting a creature whose life has completed and who has risen to a level of consciousness and plane of existence that you cannot fully comprehend. You are bringing in a companion, a teacher, a protector, something greater than your current self and abilities, because you need them. They do not need you. They often want humans out of curiosity, a desire for offerings, a desire to teach, and a link to the physical world. But they do not need you.
If you find anybody telling you that they have spirits that need you, don’t trust that conjurer. I mean it. They don’t know what they’re doing. At best, they’re roleplaying and selling cute stories. At worst, they’re selling real entities – ones that the conjurer is apparently incapable of discerning – who intend to use you to feed on while you fawn over them. Who will take and take and never give, and you’ll never think twice about it because (uwu) you’re there to help the precious baby demons.
I’ve seen some idiotic shit about “spirit abuse.” As a keeper, you most definitely cannot abuse them. The idea is preposterous.

Update: Our companions have taken quite the liking to walking into the bathroom to set off our motion activated air freshener. Our room is now encased in a permanent cloud of flowers melon and vanilla and it is compulsory to yell cshhh cshhh when it happens.
