Spirits that look like flame?


Last night I left my body (in semi-lucid dream) and when I returned to it I could see clearly through my (closed) eyes in shades of black and grey. There was a spirit to my left that looked like a ball of fire.

I am used to seeing spirits appear as human sillhoutes, shadows, translucent but sparkling bodies, and animals. One time, an ubi hovered over me and switched from between a demonic woman, a pile of wood, and a burning flame.

This spirit was in my bed. In my experience, spirits like Goetia stand beside or at the foot of the bed. Ubis, ancestors, parasites / imposters come in the bed.

It did not feel malevolent. I have never had this kind of spirit encounter, and am wondering what kind of spirit it may have been?

Thanks!

Maybe a servitor

Ishim, or fiery souls. Malkuth spirits.
Might be related.

@Dankquanicus hmm, I’m not sure. I am very interested in elementals, but have never worked with them or had contact, and do not know how I perceive them. I created one fire elemental servitor though. I can’t imagine why it would be in my bed. It’s not a protector :thinking:

@DarkGodofQlippa they haven’t; I’ve never interacted with djinn. Bune came to me in dream in the form of an ifreet once, but that is as close as I have come to encountering one.

Already some good ideas here.
Could also be an angel.

I had a friend tell me how an angel showed up one night beside their bed as a man on fire. No wings or halo in sight, just flames.

My first though reading this was maybe it was a fire elemental like @Dankquanicus said

The real question would be ‘what did it want’? No matter what it was that’s the question that matters.

Why was it there when you stepped out of body I mean seems to me to be the issue of most importance to figure out. If you had stepped out it’s unlikely whatever it was just stepped in for a chat and a cup of Joe if you read me.

Anyway I hope you figure it out and that whatever it was it doesn’t make a habit of sneaking around your bed when your out of body.

How similar was it to that one that came around after the Pele’s Ward experiment?

Not at all. This didn’t seem to have “personality”. Or character. And no hostility; it didn’t feel menacing or dark, but still “spooked” me. It had presence.

Usually they talk to me or attack. This had nothing to say and didn’t seem to be trying to interact.

I’m used to more shadow-feeling things. This had no real color, because of the “sight” I had, but did not feel like shadow.

Have you already met your guardian angel? I’ve occasionally seen, out of the corner of my eye, both fleeting shadows and a bright gold-white light.
