Most religions agree that there is an afterlife. In this regard, a logical question arises - is it possible to come into contact with those who have already died? Various peoples of the world tried to summon spirits. This article contains practical recommendations for beginner mediums.
What to Expect from Summoning Spirits
What happens to a person who decides to hold a seance at home? If everything goes well, you will be able to get answers to your questions.
Of course, you should not think that you will be able to communicate with Pushkin, Diogenes, Machiavelli or other great people. The spirit is not obliged to come to your call; it has free will. But you can try to make contact with those who sympathize with you - with deceased friends or relatives.
Sometimes it is not possible to establish a connection with the other world. In this case, you simply won't succeed. If the souls of the dead are in no hurry to respond to your call, then you can try to reschedule the session to the next day.
In the worst case, the spirit will come, but will not be able to return back at the end of the session. Accordingly, he will remain in the house, which does not bode well for the household. They will be haunted by minor troubles, illnesses, and various kinds of troubles. Effects characteristic of this may appear - the disappearance of things, spontaneous combustion of curtains, etc.
Precautions
It is advisable not to summon dead enemies, 
even if you want to ask them for forgiveness. A soul that is negatively disposed towards a medium can drain its vitality.
You cannot conduct a session while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs! Otherwise, you will completely lose control of the situation. If an aggressive astral entity appears instead of a relative or friend, the medium may become seriously ill.
Address the summoned spirit with respect, as if you were speaking to a living person. Do not try to put pressure on your “guest” or order him. It is not recommended to repeat the same question several times.
How to conduct a séance
If the calling of spirits is planned for the dark, it is recommended to do it by candlelight. In principle, bright electric light does not prevent communication with the other world, but it does prevent the medium from concentrating. You will need some equipment:
- Stable table
- Ouija board
- Saucer or needle on thread
- Photo of the person you want to contact (this is not a requirement)
If you don’t have a Ouija board at hand, you can make one yourself. Draw a circle on a blank piece of Whatman paper. Along the circle, draw numbers from 0 to 9 and letters of the alphabet (in no particular order). Outside the circle, write the phrases “yes”, “no”, “I don’t know”. An arrow should be drawn on the saucer to be used as a pointer.
Now place the saucer in the center of the circle and touch it with the fingertips of your left hand. If several people are engaged in calling spirits, then each of those present must touch the saucer.
Ask a question
Imagine the person whose spirit you want to contact. Say “Spirit (name) appear!” three times. You will know that the interlocutor has responded to the call by the following signs:
- Slight chills
- Air movement indoors
- Feeling of an invisible presence
- Voluntary phenomena, for example, rhythmic tapping
You can ask questions, and if the interlocutor wishes to answer, the saucer will begin to move around the board. Watch which letters the arrow on it points to. Instead of a saucer, you can use a needle suspended on a thread. It should be held above the board and observed in which direction the needle deviates.
When all questions have been exhausted, say goodbye to your “guest” and say three times “Spirit, (name), we are letting you go, go away!” Now you know how to conduct a seance at home. It is recommended to use this technique no more than once a month and only if the medium is completely healthy physically and emotionally.
Who among us in childhood did not experiment with evoking the spirits of famous people or telling fortunes about a betrothed mummer by candlelight? Communication with spirits is something that always arouses interest, especially among young people. There is probably not a single person in the world who, at least once in his life, has not tried to somehow contact his ancestors or one of his deceased loved ones. Some people succeeded, others didn't. Is there a 100% way to summon a spirit? Anyone can summon spirits. But it’s worth thinking about whether you need it or not? Because any call to spirits is accompanied by certain consequences. And only you will have to answer for these consequences. Most sorcerers agree that calling spirits is not a toy. Never resort to spiritualism without a clear or important purpose, otherwise you may accidentally bring yourself into a series of troubles associated with the appearance of an unwanted companion in your life. If you are still determined to summon a spirit and you have a good enough reason for this, it is important to have a simple Ouija board.
The simplest Ouija board
It’s done like this: take a large sheet of paper and write the alphabet on top in two rows. The third row is the numbers from zero to nine. Below, draw two circles with the inscriptions: “Yes” and “No”. A large circle is drawn between them, where an inverted saucer is placed. The session begins with it and ends with it. A simple board is ready.
How to summon a spirit? To call a spirit you must say: “I call you...” and name the spirit you want to see. Next you need to ask whether the spirit appeared or not? If your plate begins to move to the side with the answer “Yes,” then the spirit has appeared. If there is no answer, it means that he either did not come, or try again to call him again, or call another spirit. Next, you need to clarify whether the spirit came of its own free will or was forced. If he answers that he came of his own free will, then you can calmly continue to ask your questions and receive answers to them. Try to think through and prepare your questions in advance so as not to bother your interlocutor, but remember this is not a servant or a subject of entertainment. Spirits are former people and each has their own name, surname and former relatives who remained in the material world. Therefore, treat the spirit with appropriate respect. If you are a beginner, then do not try to summon any unfamiliar spirits, but start with something simple, for example, summon the spirit of a brownie. He knows all your problems and desires. If everything went smoothly for you, then you can try something serious. For example, summon the spirit of your deceased relatives or friends, only if you had a good relationship with them. But you shouldn’t summon the spirits of your enemies; in any case, they will find a way to annoy you or take revenge. You can ask the spirit about anything. You can ask him about the structure of our world, discover the secrets of traditional medicine, find out the details of the biography of the spirit itself, ask for help from a lost person, or solve any crime. Spirits are a source of enormous knowledge and information, and they are quite willing to engage in dialogue with people, but they really do not like to help people when their material gain is pursued.
In addition to human spirits, there are other types of spirits, for example, nature perfume
. In order to learn to communicate with them, you need to travel as often as possible: further into the forest, to a river or lake. Find a deserted place so that no one and nothing distracts you from your goal. Avoid well-trodden paths in the forest, as mushroom pickers or outdoor enthusiasts may be found there. To ensure that no one disturbs your concentration, you need to go far enough. Getting to know nature spirits can be divided into three stages. At the first stage
just walk through the forest, listen to the birds singing, pay attention to the trees and try to feel comfortable. At the second stage
you should choose a place for . Look around - it's best somewhere near the roots of a tree. At the third stage
Having found your specific place, try to open up completely, enter into the space with the creatures that inhabit it and turn to the spirits, and they will definitely answer you. Correct communication with spirits opens up enormous opportunities for all of us in understanding ourselves and the universe itself.
Awaken your own spirit and you will be able to gain knowledge about everything that exists. Study yourself and the world, cooperate with the spirits, but be wise in your actions. Good luck!
Can be defined as a process in which a person calls upon spirits to ask them a question of interest. Since ancient times, people have been interested in it, attracting them with its secrets and riddles. Many people are still fascinated by mysticism with all its components.
Many people want to conduct a seance at home. But summoning spirits is not so easy. It’s worth thoroughly preparing for this so that everything goes smoothly. To begin with, the one who decides on this session needs to recruit four or five more people who agree to keep him company. Only an experienced medium is capable of conducting a seance alone. The consequences, in this case, will not be as negative as if a beginner took on this matter alone. So, next you need to choose a leader - someone who is at least a little familiar with spiritualism. The time must be chosen strictly between 00:00 and 4:00. To enhance the activity of spirits, you can wait for the full moon.
Of course, you can’t do without equipment. Here you will need a saucer and a board on which you need to write numbers up to ten, letters and the answers “yes” and “no”. To make the atmosphere more mysterious, you can fill the room in which the seance is taking place with incense, candles, and light a fireplace. You must remember to take off your jewelry and warn others about it.
A lot depends on whose spirit is to be summoned. For example, if this is a deceased relative, it is worth placing his personal belongings in the room. And if this is one of the famous people, say, a writer, you need to put one of his books or a portrait on the table.
So, the most important thing begins. Participants in the session need to sit around the table. The presenter should place the saucer on the Ouija board and begin to summon the spirit. The phrase “Spirit... come” is suitable for this. Moreover, it must be repeated many times, until the moment when the summoned spirit appears. How can you understand that he has already arrived? It's simple: you need to carefully observe the saucer and the situation. The spirit has already appeared if the saucer moves, if the candle has gone out, if a light breeze has passed... Participants may experience a slight trembling caused by the unusualness of their position.
It is necessary to take into account that perhaps the spirit is not inclined to answer prepared questions. He may get angry and want to leave. Sometimes spirits deliberately lie. To ensure the veracity of the answer, you must first ask the question to which the answer is well known. If the test shows that the spirit is lying, it is better to simply thank him and say goodbye, otherwise he will become aggressive.
There is a topic that is better not to touch upon - the Spirit will slowly move the saucer from one letter to another, and the folded words will be its answer. For general questions, the saucer should move toward the “yes” and “no” signs.
Now we need to say goodbye to the spirit. First you need to thank him for the conversation, and then turn the saucer over and knock it on the board three times. This concludes the seance. Do not forget that this process should not last more than an hour. The time of the spirit should not be abused. Many people may feel exhausted after the session. But after some time the strength will be restored.
Recently, scientist Yu. A. Fomin expressed his point of view, the essence of which was that recently many spiritualistic seances have become widespread, which does not have the best effect on both the person himself and society as a whole. The negative impact is manifested in the deterioration of the human condition - both mental and physical. History knows many cases in which a seance ended in major failure. Therefore, you should not abuse such activities. Otherwise, serious problems may arise.
Attention! A seance is a serious matter. It should not be taken lightly and should not be carried out for fun. The goal should be for a compelling reason, such as getting answers to important questions. If you just want to have fun, “killing” time, it’s better to engage in exciting and harmless fortune-telling.
What to expect from a seance?
Many people are interested in what can happen to people who decide to carry out this procedure at home. Experts say that if you follow all the rules and precautions, as well as with the correct order of the session, you can lift the veil of secrecy - communicate with the spirit of a deceased person who will answer your questions.
Of course, you don’t need to hope that you will definitely be able to evoke the spirit of great people the first time, for example, Macedonsky, Pushkin, Gogol. After all, these entities do not have to appear at the first call; they have their own will. And when calling the spirit of a deceased person with whom you sympathized (during his life), you can count on the success of the session. Sometimes it is not possible to establish a connection with the other world. In this case nothing will happen. It is better to reschedule the session to any other day.
There is also a worse scenario. The spirit of the summoned person will come, perhaps even answer your questions, but will not be able to go back to his world. Accordingly, it will be located in the house (apartment), and this does not bode well for the residents. The result can be troubles in all areas of life and deterioration in health. Poltergeist manifestations may also occur, which will be expressed by:
- in moving and overturning objects;
- in spontaneous combustion;
- in opening/closing doors;
- in a draft with windows and doors closed;
- in knocks, steps, sounds.
Precautions when conducting a séance
1. Never summon the spirit of a deceased person who was your enemy during life and was hostile to you. Even if you want to ask him for forgiveness, experts do not recommend engaging in such a procedure. The result can be disastrous - the spirit will deprive a person of vitality.
2. You should not conduct a seance while intoxicated (under the influence of alcohol or drugs). You can easily lose control of the situation. A certain astral entity that is aggressive towards you may come to the call. As a result, people who took part in the session may develop serious health problems.
3. Talk to the spirit politely and respectfully, as if a living person is in front of you. You should not order the spirit, much less shout at it.
4. There is no need to ask the same questions several times.
What is needed for a seance
1. A lifetime photograph of a deceased person with whose spirit you plan to come into contact (this condition is not mandatory).
2. A needle with a thread 30-40 cm long threaded into its eye (the color of the thread and the size of the needle can be any).
3. Saucer (preferably new). After the session it should not be used at home.
4. A special board designed for conducting seances (with marked fields, written letters, numbers and words).
5. A stable table, preferably round or oval, at which it will be convenient for all people taking part in the summoning of the spirit to sit.
If you have not had time to prepare a special board that is used for such sessions, you can start making it yourself. Only it will not be made of wood, but of paper. Take a large sheet of Whatman paper. Then draw a circle on it. Write all the existing letters inside the circle (you can follow any order). Outside the circle, write the words “yes”, “no”, “I don’t know”, as well as numbers (from 0 to 9). On the surface of the saucer (bottom side) draw an arrow that will serve as a pointer.
Procedure and rules for conducting a spiritualistic seance
It is advisable to carry out this procedure in the dark, using candles. In such an environment, the medium and everyone present will be able to better concentrate on what is happening. By the way, the session can be carried out under electric lighting.
When all the necessary equipment is prepared, you can begin to summon the spirit. Place the saucer (upside down) in the center of the circle and touch it with the fingers of your left hand. If other people besides you are participating in the session, they should also touch the surface of the saucer. If you have a lifetime photograph of the deceased person whose spirit you are invoking, place it next to the Ouija board.
All those present should concentrate their attention as much as possible on the image of the deceased person, with whose spirit it is supposed to come into contact. Next, the medium must clearly but quietly say: “Spirit (person’s name), come.”
You can understand that a spirit has appeared by the following signs:
- by rhythmic knocking that can come from any side of the room;
- by feeling the invisible presence of a spirit;
- by air movements and the presence of a draft in the room (with doors and windows closed);
- by slight chills or a sudden surge of heat.
You and everyone present can take turns asking questions of the incoming spirit. If he wishes to answer, the saucer will begin to move from side to side. Pay close attention to which letters the arrow on the saucer points to.
If you are using a needle rather than a saucer, hold it above the surface of the circle while voicing questions. Watch in which direction the needle begins to swing, making up answers from the indicated letters. When you decide that the session should be stopped, thank the spirit for the answers and say: “Spirit, go away, we are letting you go.”
And in conclusion, I need to give one more valuable advice. Conduct a seance only if your well-being (emotional and physical) is normal.
Communication with spirits (spiritism), in particular, dead people have been practiced at all times. Obviously, the ability to speak with the dead is based on the belief that a person has an immortal soul, which after death goes to the afterlife. The opportunity to touch this mysterious world, receive information, knowledge and secret signs from its ethereal inhabitants excites the imagination.
Also very common among all peoples are the practices of communicating and obtaining strength and protection from animal spirits. It is believed that dead animals willingly cooperate with the person they like. They are attracted by the prospect of exchanging their strength and special qualities for the opportunity to continue their lives with the help of the energy of the practitioner who called them.
For example, having asked the question of how to make a love spell, we are faced with the fact that rituals can be performed with the help of a variety of Powers. Not the least place in magical love practices is occupied by rituals performed with the help of the power of a totem animal. Parts of the animal, special secret sounds and words are used, which are known to attract the help of the animal chosen for the ritual.
With the help of people's spirits, you cannot make a love spell, but you can get important information about your chosen one, about the prospects of your personal life, or ask for help in winning the love of the chosen character.
The method of communicating with spirits is called spiritualism. Spiritualism has been known since ancient times, for example, the Bible describes how King Saul summoned the shadow of the prophet Samuel. As children, many of us dabbled: we summoned the brownie, the spirit of Pushkin, and various other spirits. It usually didn't work out very well, but if done correctly, it could be successful.
We will look at the most common technique of spiritualism. To do this, we need a Ouija board, a group of people, preferably at least 3 people, a quiet room and patience.
Making a magic board.
You can purchase a Ouija board at a store or make your own. They are completely different in the arrangement of letters and numbers. Let's consider the simplest option. We take a smooth board approximately 50 cm wide by 100 cm long, draw on it the letters from “a” to “z” in two semicircles at the top and bottom. Approximately in the middle we write the numbers from 0 to 9. You can also draw various symbols, for example, just above the numbers, draw the sun and next to the word “yes”, below the numbers the moon and the word “no”. And finally, you need to make a pointer; it can be cut in the shape of a heart from the same wood as the board, or you can use a porcelain saucer with an arrow. To make the pointer slide easier, the board should be varnished. In the absence of a board, some use a large sheet of thick paper or laminated cardboard and draw symbols on it.
Team selection.
It is ideal if five people participate in a spiritualism session, but life is harsh and it is not always possible to find the required number of participants. As a last resort, the ritual can be performed alone, although success in this case cannot be guaranteed. Participants should not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and eating a lot before the ceremony is prohibited. It is better for impressionable people not to participate in a session of spiritualism. Also, this activity does not tolerate skepticism; there is no need to invite erniks and jokers to the session.
The primary task is to choose your medium, the person through whom communication with the spirit will take place. You also need a person whose responsibility will be to record the testimony.
Think carefully in advance and write down the questions you want to ask the spirit. Questions should concern your affairs; asking spirits about their affairs is unacceptable. If you are interested in love affairs, then you can ask the otherworldly guest about how your chosen one treats you, whether it is worth doing a love spell or whether there is a chance to do without magic.
Preparing the room.
The most ideal time for a session is late at night, after midnight. Be sure to open the window or window slightly. In the room in which the ceremony is performed, electrical appliances and candle lighting must be turned off. Participants should remove all metal jewelry. During the session you cannot speak out loud, only in a whisper.
Calling spirits.
Place the board you made on the table. Holding hands, stand around the table, look at the quiet flickering of the candles, gradually clear your thoughts of vanity, and fully concentrate on the upcoming action. After you put your thoughts in order, you can slowly sit down.
Next, the medium lightly places the fingers of his right hand on the pointer, the rest of the participants join him and all in a harmonious chorus begin to say: “Spirit (name of the river) come,” until signs of the presence of the spirit appear:
- the pointer may start to move
- you may have a strange uneasy feeling
- there may be something like a breath of draft, a chill
- the most spectacular manifestation of the spirit is in the form of a ghostly cloud, although only experienced spiritualists achieve this.
When a messenger of the other world appears, you can begin to carefully ask questions. The dialogue should be conducted as follows:
“Spirit (name of river) are you here?”
The arrow should move to the word “yes”.
“Are you ready to talk to us?”
If the answer is “yes,” continue to ask questions tactfully and quietly.
It is recommended that beginner spiritualists spend a session less than an hour, because you will not have enough concentration to hold the spirit for longer. If contact is interrupted, the door between the worlds will close and the ethereal creature may remain with you, manifesting itself in the form of a poltergeist.
At the end, it is important to end the session correctly: thank the spirit for the conversation and say goodbye by knocking on the table three times.
Spiritualism - classification of spirits
The spirits themselves can be divided into three categories:
- informative (exactly what we wanted)
- crafty
- background.
At first, mainly the crafty and background ones will come: the spirits of primitive people, the spirit of those who died suddenly, the spirits of suicides who cannot leave the lower layers of the astral plane. Information from them is of little value, but there can be a lot of harm. Be careful with them, be critical of their responses, and say goodbye and end contact as quickly as possible.
After the ritual, you need to reinforce your strength with food and rest. We must discuss what happened among ourselves carefully and with restraint. They may listen to you from there, and rudeness, skepticism, and jokes will harm further attempts to talk with spirits.
For the first time, do not demand much from yourself; only as you acquire the skill will you be able to communicate with spirits for a long time and efficiently. If the session did not work out, then do not be upset, but try to repeat the experience after a while.
