Hi Scarlet! I just discovered your blog and it’s amazing! I’m extremely new to spirit work but I’m eager to learn. So I was wondering if you could post some methods for protection and communication related to the spirit work. Sorry if you’ve already done it. I just couldn’t find it.

A small P.S: please explain as if you are writing to a total idiot

Thank you in advance!

╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

First off, Thank you very much. Even though im a new blog i am honored that you came to me with questions.

Gonna be real with you. Spirit work can be, will be and is dangerous. Point. Blank. Period. Now some may argue that it isn't, BUT it is. At least the potential for danger is extremely high for the unknowing beginner.

Since you are extremely new and im guessing have no experience yet, lets not jump into the deep- end of spirit communicating just yet. And here's why;

Unless you can tell me that you've done the research i cant give much info on how to communicate or ward as it took me years to get where I am as i started with energy work before spirit work, and im still continuously learning. I feel a good question a beginner should ask themselves is, "Why do I want to work with spirits? What is it that I want to get out of these experiences?"

In any regards i can only tell you to start looking towards Barns and Noble or a reputable spiritual shop to find books on this topic rather than to come to tumblr for sources. Though 2 books I can recommend than i thought was informative that i used and reworked to my own practice is;

Summoning spirits: The Art of Magical Evocation by Konstantinos

Encyclopedia of Spirits by Judika Illes

And as far as warding goes there's multiple different ways.

Smoke Cleansing your room

Crystal water spray cleansing

Sigil warding (Making art symbols to combat negative energy/entities)

Bell cleansing

Bone shaking

The Lesser Banishing ritual

So I guess my advice would be read up on whatever you feel attracted to before ever trying to make contact. Contact should be last, as it would be more appropriate to gain knowledge on how to talk to said creatures and act around them. Next would be finding ways to communicate. This doesn't mean making contact, just means looking into what way of communication feels comfortable for you and the entity. Tarot? Oracle Cards? Pendulum? etc etc . . anyways, you need to practice and hone your skill in divination before trying to clearly make full contact with a new unknown being. Always good to start off with talking to Angels sense they don't quite judge when someone is starting out and need protection when they practice. Not to say there aren't other beings who would be good for beginners but I feel Angels tend to be the most common and safe choice to start with. Them and elemental beings.

hey! just wondering... may I have a slasher or dbd match-up?

i'm turning 20 here next month, afab identifying male, on t with no operations... also attracted to boys. im a pisces and 5'9. im often wearing black or sometimes white and a converse guy. i have bipolar disorder, typically under depressive episodes but yet i try to get my shit done... i'm going to school to be an emt/paramedic, working in mental+behavioral health right now so i have experience with minor psychology and mental health.

i have a big thing for honesty and respect, so im often honest and respectful. im also very loyal but with some cynical type of trust issues when it comes to meeting new people. im also not very affectionate, but i would be if i had a boyfriend but not too clingy, though also sometimes with mood swings and wanting to be left alone i might push him away... i wouldn't mean it but it comes with being bipolar :( i have a dark/offensive sense of humor and am desensitized to lots of stuff so nothing really bothers me, seeing gore and stuff like that doesn't bother me but i would rush to someone's side to help them if they needed it. im... a himbo and i don't like it either. but if my boyfriend is sick im still gonna kiss him cause i love him.

as far as nsfw type of stuff goes, im a switch and in manic episodes get really hypersexual and in depressive episodes im not opposed to sex unless im wanting to be left alone. i have a really dirty mind and it sucks but sometimes it's fun alright

umm i think that's all, i appreciate it and you!

thank you 😊

I decided to do both slasher and DBD survivor for your ask. I'm so sorry for the wait for your results..

For Dead By daylight, I ship you with... David King!

David at first isn't the type of person who is big on physical affection because of his rough upbringing. He respects your goals of becoming an emt/ paramedic, to the point that he will let you practice tending to his wounds and checking his vitals after his fights. David knows a bit about basic first aid given his fighting tendencies.

David understands your trust issues and mood swings because of he's cut from the similar mold. At first, David might be defensive when you first go through your mood swings because he doesn't understand but once he gets it, he tries his best not to react negatively to your mood swings.

Although he doesn't know a lot about bipolar disorder, once you tell him about it, David is more understanding and would try his best to help you through your depressive/ manic state. If you want time to yourself, he will give you the space you desire. Sexually, David is a dom leaning switch. He hasn't been dominated in his previous relationships but is willing to try almost anything once. He's the type to make sure you really want to have sex with him when you're in a depressive episode because he cares about your well being.

David overall is the type that once the two of you get close in your relationship, the more he will show his love for you physically rather than his usual thoughtful gestures. When it comes to you being trans, David is more than willing to support your transition. If you need money for anything, he will make it happen. Need some clothes? He will give you his old clothes since the both of you have similar styles. He only wants you to be happy in the end.

For slashers, I ship you with... Stu Macher!

The first thing that Stu noticed about you was your dark and offensive humor. He has a rather morbid and dark humor himself so Stu became interested in you. Stu tends to not know when to stop with his humor and finds out when to and when not to cut the fool around you when it comes to your mood swings. Billy and you would have to talk some sense into Stu about you being bipolar because this guy can be a himbo at times.

With you studying to become a emt/ paramedic, Stu is more than willing to help you get through school any way he could. If you need money for classes? Done, you will get the money you need. An instructor or classmate misgendering you? He and Billy can make them disappear, say the word.

Sexually, Stu is also a switch (you can't tell me he's not, he radiates chaotic switch energy). This guy has stamina that can match whatever you're feeling. This man is big on pda and physical affection but would respect your boundaries if you don't want him to be physical.

Given that you're desensitized to gore and blood, Stu would invite you to be Ghostface with him and Billy once the both of you become serious. If not, then Stu would let you stitch him up/ take care of him when he gets injured with his "hobby".

Other possibilities: Jed Olsen, Leslie Vernon, Dwight Fairfield

Basic Training

This post has been sitting in my drafts for months now, during which I've come up with a few ways I wanted to write this post. This is what I've come up with.

Basic Training is the episode which made me hate Ben the most. The whole episode consisted him of being a stuck up brat only to be rewarded for it in the end.

This episode was the perfect opportunity to have Kevin in the spotlight and show how skilled and smart he is.

Gwen's presence in this episode was actually fine, there's no change needed for that.

Look, I know the shows named Ben 10 but we have seen Ben be the hero tons of times already.

And Ben being egoistic about his heroism is not something new in the franchise.

There have been episodes on the OS where Ben got a big head, yet I dont ever see anyone complaining about that.

Was is it because he was 10 that we excuse this behaviour? Nope.

15 - 16 is still pretty young and his attitude can be excused at this age as well.

My opinion? It was handled better in the OS.

There were times when Ben wasn't always the main focus.

In Lucky Girl, Ben has his ' who's your hero?' Moment.

They showed Gwen feeling jealous and hurt by the fact she wasn't noticed much.

It was realistic.

Then the epsiode proceeded to focus on Gwen , having Ben being kind of like a sub plot to the story.

Towards the end Ben compliments her.

So yeah Ben got big head, but at the same time they shifted focus so that the audience wouldn't find it annoying.

Gwen was in the spotlight for a bit, giving people a break from Ben.

Secondly , in Be Afraid Of The Dark, Ben again is shown to be slightly stuck up, but towards the end of that episode he learns and acknowledges Gwen and Grandpa for help and understands his crime fighting is more of a team effort.

In Galactic Enforcers, we are shown there are other heros besides Ben as well.

Ben wasn't the sole focus of that episode. Yes it was about him but also about the Galactic Enforcers.

I don't think he was shown to be over confident here , but it was nice to see some other heros in the scene.

The Ben 10,000 episode focuses on how Ben was too focused on his job and the lesson at that was Ben needed to relax and have them Galactic Enforcers take the lead instead.

Again , his attitude towards everything was brought in focus but towards the end he learnt something.

I recently started watching Generator Rex and I can't help but compare Rex's character to Ben's.

Rex is also proud , rushes into things and considers himself to be a hotshot. But they also show him being down ,having trouble with his nanites and actually voice out his insecurities.

He's still the hero, still has things go his way most times but it's not annoying like Ben.

( I've only seen like 7 episodes so far so I don't know if this going to go down hil or not but so far so good)

The issue with the sequels after the OS was that Ben was the focus a bit too much.

We as the audience were rarely ever given a break from him.

Other than a few conversations here and there about his attitude, nothing really was done about it.

Gwen should've been appreciated more for saving Kevin and Kevin should've been appreciated for stopping Aggregor.

But they weren't.

If it had been Ben , they would've made sure to show him getting some sort of recognition or trophy.

Back to the Basic Training episode.

We know he's the legendary Ben Tennyson, we know he's a hero. We didn't need another episode on it.

Instead the plot should've focused on Kevin. His skills, his abilities.

Ben would act the same but Magsiter Hulka should've put some sort of cover so Ben couldn't use the omnitrix.

Ben goes on breaking rules, and having a hard time being a hero without the watch.

Towards the end, it should've been Kevin who cracks the case and saves Hulka. Ben is mad he can't use the omnitrix but instead uses the guns and other weapons he's learnt to use at the academy

He's not amazing at them , but it makes him realise that he is hero , watch or not, something that has been emphasised in the show. Its not impossible for him to function without the watch.

Towards the end, Ben getting a 95 was a stretch. I'm sorry , but the guy wasn't great with using weapons and without the watch I dont think he would've been able to complete that hostage excercise.

I'm thinking more like 89%.

Gwen gets 98, that's fine and Kevin gets a 100.

Hulka comes in and awards the medal (?) to Kevin, suggesting he's becoming more like his father.

( im ignoring the ret con, plus the retcon I'm assuming wasnt thought off at this point by the writers)

Ben is shown to take one of the guns back to earth, because he thinks they're cool and he wants to practice and get better at them.

The whole hostage situation makes him want to get better at making strategies.

Yes he's good at improv, but he needs to learn to properly plan as well.

It doesn't matter if he's never shown to use the gun ever again, and he's back to relying on the omnitrix.

Or maybe some time down the line, he could use the weapon, even if it for a second, to show that he is improving and getting better.

Before you say 'he's already a hero, he doesn't need to learn anything ' sorry but no.

He's 16. He may have saved the world but he still has growing up to do. Different battles are going to arise all the time.

Saying he is perfect at 16 is dumb. Saying he's perfect when he's ben 10k , it'll make some sense. He's been around for a while and is pretty experienced.

The watch is a part of him, but seeing him try to explore other options would've been a fresher idea.

Another scene that made me mad was the court (?) scene in Vreedle, Vreedle.

Ben being a hero shouldn't make him above the law.

Domstol ruling in favor of Ben just because he's the legendry Ben Tennyson was stupid.

After Ben's little monologue , and destroying Domstols desk, the judge should've just informed him that being a hero does not excuse him from following the law.

Kevin could've had his little moment doing some negotiation ( would've been nice to see how he works as con artist) and Ben could've jumped in and helped while making some good points for the argument, showing us he's not stupid.

Then having Domstol rule in their favor would've made sense.

On the way back to earth there could've been a joke about how Ben watches Judge Judy too much which is where he learnt about trials and stuff. Or maybe Gwens dad taught him a thing or two at some point.

All this doesn't mess with Ben's character all that much, he's still the hero of the show, he still has his ego but it makes him more likeable, shifts focus from his attitude, and shows us he's pretty smart and is growing into a good hero.

Ben's not a bad guy. I mean he is the hero of the show. There are tons of scenes which show he's good , like the whole sacrificing thing so the ultimates could live and all.

But little scenes here and there tend to be enough for someone , especially for someone who isn't a super hard-core Ben lover to form negative opinions on him.

Although calling him a psychopath / narc is out of line because I don't find him to be like that. His attitude was magnified by him being in the spotlight too much and writers not having a good balance in writing situations.

Ben being the main character of the show is at risk of becoming hated or less appreciated just because he's the font runner of the show.

Admit it, side characters tend to get more love most times than the main agonist of shows.

I've been watching videos on YouTube on this topic as to why this happens , and what I've come up with is that writers of shows tend to focus too much on main character. Things seem to go their way most times and this tends to get on peoples nerves, consciously or subconsciously because it's not exactly realistic.

Having shows where everything focuses on one person most times tend to backfire.

I don't mind Ben having a big head, I dont mind him making jokes and being so casual.

It's his defense mechanism to protect himself from drowning into the struggles and pressures of being a hero. But always having him be that way isn't good.

The writers should've executed it properly.

( okay this post got really long, more than I thought it would. If you're read the whole things , congratulations on making it here lol.

I'm not going to stop anyone from replying to this because everyone has different opinions and we all have the freedom to express them.

Although I believe I've made my point and I've made sure to keep in mind all the arguments about why bashing Ben is wrong when he's not a bad guy while typing this out.

I don't think I've directed any major hate towards him , its mostly towards the writers for making the situations like that,but if you think I have you can reply to it.

I'm not gonna reply back though , because again I feel I've made my point.

Any agreements / disagreements you have with the post feel free to share because it is your right.

Any disagreements you have with other members, as long as its related to the post you can share it.

Any issues you have personally with other members, please keep them to your selves.

I will not tolerate bullying , harassing, name calling and petty arguments on my post and blog page.

If this happens I will simply delete this post and re-upload it.)

"I swear half this fandom don't actually like Ben" lmao true! Thing is though he's not likeable all the time and he can be a right old dick. But personally even if I don't like him or his actions at certain times, I feel like the broader picture is still there and I root for him because I get why he's like he is? And I can see and appreciate the softer sides of him even if they're fairly well hidden at times.

I also think some people in the fandom intellectually understand that he's traumatised and a survivor of various abuses, and when that shows in certain ways e.g. like if Callum or Lola is comforting while he's crying. But when it comes to situations like this week with Jags and Whitney, I personally think some people have struggled to understand how his trauma connects to it because it's not as obvious as e.g. Whitney's fiance dies, Gray manipulates her, bish bash bosh hit and run. Even more broadly I think it's easy for the audience to underestimate how Ben's experiences have shaped him because there's a distance created by time, his criminal actions, his (un)likeability factor, not viewing Phil as an abusive parent etc.

I don't wanna say everyone criticising him is like that btw! I'm sure there's a few reasons but I think this plays a part tbh.

i get what you're saying but to me it's like.... why would you even waste so much time invested into someone you don't like most of the time. i genuinely don't get it. ppl tend to ship ballum but hate ben AND hate the majority of the sls lately and it's like.... it's 2021 bro it's not like gay couples are THAT rare anymore there is so much media out there if you're not enjoying what ee are doing then you literally do not have to watch. in fact im BEGGING you for your sake not to. literally just do not engage with media that you aren't enjoying. do not sit in your own negativity writing 20 posts a day abt 'why are they doing this? why don't they do that? if they did this i would enjoy it more' bc you're only making yourself miserable. like this goes for any type of media but literally just stop engaging w it if you're not enjoying it anymore. the think pieces don't help anyone. your opinions aren't universal and they aren't gospel. we all need to stop confusing our opinions w facts. just bc i'm not enjoying smth doesn't mean other ppl aren't and vice versa. just bc i'm not enjoying smth doesn't mean that the thing needs to change. eg i hate the fact that callum is a copper and pray every day that something will force him out of it BUT it doesn't really affect my overall enjoyment of him as a character and it doesn't mean that the show has to make him quit just bc i don't like it. you (the royal you not u specifically anon lmao) might hate the fact that ben still does illegal stuff but that doesn't mean the show has to make him stop just bc you don't like it. if it affects how much you enjoy him as a character/ben and callum as a couple then maybe consider stopping watching. festering in the energy of 'i hate this, i hate what they're doing and here's 1200 words why' is unhealthy! i learned this the hard way !

i know this seems like an irrelevant ramble but i think i've realized that this is what my issue is. ppl not understanding trauma is frustrating and damaging and still pisses me off, but i feel like what actually pisses me off more are the ppl who just don't even attempt to be understanding bc underneath it all they're angry/frustrated at the show/sls and that's how it manifests itself. ppl don't like the direction ben and/or callum are going in and so the minute they (and it's usually ben lbr) step out of line they JUMP on that as an excuse to vent their frustrations and often end up saying shit that is ignorant or damaging or mean or just straight up cruel abt things that are so often symptoms of mental illness or trauma. so they're out here posting so many things and making these cruel little comments bc they can't just acknowledge that they don't actually like ballum anymore meanwhile ppl who are actually disabled/mentally ill/traumatised are sitting there reading all of these things and seeing all the people agreeing w them and it's doing real life damage to people.

is it on purpose? probably not. but that doesn't make the damage any less real. i have never forgotten or forgiven the way ppl reacted after ben went deaf. it was vile. as a disabled person who reacted very badly to being disabled just like ben did, it genuinely fucked me in the head seeing what ppl said abt him during that time. now i understand that it was partially ignorance but also a big chunk of it was ppl being unhappy bc they thought they wouldn't be able to enjoy their ship anymore bc ben was disabled (not that he hadn't been disabled before, but now it wasn't ignorable anymore).

idk there's more i could say but i feel like it's pointless. ppl don't care lmao all they care abt is their ship. which, ok fine whatever, but stop letting ur mentally ill/traumatised/disabled followers get caught in the crossfire bc you can't just admit you're not enjoying it anymore and feel the need to tear the thing down and rant about how it's 'bad writing' or 'out of character' etc etc. it's frustrating to read (which is why im never on here anymore) and speaking from experience it hurts YOU in the long run. negativity breeds more negativity.

you don't need to make excuses! just let it go! find something that does make you happy! you deserve that! and we deserve to be able to enjoy something without seeing ppl tearing it (or worse - us) down every 5 minutes !!

(edit - to clarify anon none of this was aimed at you i just sort of started ranting and didn't even really answer ur question im sorry !! i get what ur saying tho lmao 💞💞💞)

#eastenders #anon #question #like it's just nitpicking and it's too much it's tired #how are you mad they're still social distancing ? you are literally just looking for smth to be mad at atp #like please im begging just admit it's not something you enjoy anymore and GO #i just want peace... that's all i want
