INTRODUCTION
Do not open your mouth yet.
Spiritual marriage is an ancient tradition known in many different cultures. It has benefits of its own. The most legit people I’ve met that are in a marriage with a spirit coincide in the same thing: their lives have improved due to their relationships. To the point they have had their asses kicked into form when they were slacking.
This is not a “Oh, yeah, spirit husband gave me really good advise on how to groom myself and he loves it when I get my hair darker (emojis galore)”. Note the quotation marks. Is important. Because I have no hair, so I would never say that. Any of that.
The chances are substantial and objective. Better income. Better health. Better luck. Less pain. more happiness. And this is what you should aim for if you get in a romantic relationship with a spirit.
Why do spirits have relationships with puny humans (and handsome Cuervos)
Be a romantic relationship, more platonic love or friendship, rest assured is always for the same reason: they’re getting something from it. Not necessarily from us, mind you, but from the relationship itself. And, more often than not, is because they get an agent of sorts of our world, someone who can work on their agenda. Sometimes, the person has been working in their agenda for a while, not through destiny, not through being chosen, but because theirs and our own personals agendas do overlap.
In my friendship with Hermes I’ve been tasked with doing two things. Two things that, in a way smaller scale, I’ve been doing all my life. Because that synergy has always been there. Nobody is one of a kind.
Don’t get me wrong. They can love us. But not in the same way you love your partner, but more like you love your pets. Oh, I know there is people, even maybe here, who sees more worth in a cat than in a person. Well, buddy, I haven’t seen cats inventing the internet, creating a forum and helping you with anything, so maybe you just like the damn kitten because it can’t talk back to you? To think about.
Where things usually go wrong
Let’s be blunt and honest, not for you but for me, because I’m a bad person and therefore I enjoy it: too many people get into relationships with spirits out of loneliness, in a quest for companionship. Well, fuck, that’s a very bad reason.
In Lucky Shortdick’s despair for getting laid, he is opening himself to anything. What are the chances of the right spirit hearing back? Why in hell a powerful, ancient thing would go to someone drooling who just wants to take something from them? Is not like Lucky can give them amazing sex. So, what? Some energy? Worship? We’re not in Neil Gaiman’s imagination, spirits do not need our attention to thrive.
This attitude is strictly parasitic. And I have never asked to any of the many gods, angels and demons I’ve met what they think about it, but I don’t think they would like it. Here we avoid parasites like the pest, because that’s exactly what they are.
But true, actual parasites from the lower astral planes will hear Lucky’s despair. And benefit from it. Over the last couple of years @norse900, @Keteriya and myself have seen many a wannabe edgelord/sexgod/idiot-unrestrained victim of such things that we have lost count. This things will take everything from Lucky, give nothing back and then we (yes, WE) will have to go and clean the mess, when it is possible.
Sadly, is not always possible. Some people are too far gone for us (which doesn’t mean they’re too far gone in general). We can’t do anything for them, since they won’t listen. At that point, the parasitic infestation will have all they want, most likely, a constant income of energy.
I once saw a guy tortured by parasites. He admitted it was torture but decided this “tests” where love. Idiot believed he was the chosen one of blah blah blah. Not even his fucking parasites liked him. Well, let’s call it Stockholm syndrome and move on.
So, please, listen to me: do not be Lucky Shortdick. If you feel lonely, there are way better options than trying to get a spirit as a lover.
If you’re unhappy, there is something good: you’re in the right place. Magick is to get stuff done and you can learn here everything you need to go from Lucky Shortdick to Absolute Champ.
