dispelling attached spirits.

[zemblin]

I work in a cemetary during the day and was wondering how I would ever get rid of a spirit if it ever attached itself to me.I was also wondering how can you tell if a spirit has attached itself to you?

I am not real sure of what you are asking, but....I do not believe a spirit can just attach to you. You have to let it in. Then getting rid of it can be a problem.

It may attach itself to you if you leave a void within yourself. Or at least this is what I have been told.

OK here's a scenario: You've been having alot of say anxiety over something, or any other negative feeling, and you get rid of it through meditation/visualization. You see it as, lets just say, blackness leaving your being and being absorbed by the Earth. OK so its gone. What you would then do is fill yourself with white light or healing/positive energy. If you do not do that it may leave an energy void that will pick up any kind of lingering energies from wherever. Its kind of like when you cast a circle and you "clean" it and protect it so no astral nasties can tarnish/invade your sacred space/magick/energy raising. Or when you banish negative energies from a space, you need to then burn a white candle in it to fill the void with good energy.

Now this is supposing you believe this can happen. Some people feel no need for protective circles and may feel naturally protected from such things. You do create your world. So I wouldn't obsess over it or you may attract the problem, not that you are obsessing.

Well thats my 2 cents. :)

Sure spirits could attach themselves, but I don't know why many would (other then for something to do), and if you're a fairly strong (mentally, psychically) they probably can't.

Some friends of mine tend to bring fae folk home tho - the fae will sit on their shoulder or get in their coat or something when they go to magickal places. I suppose the fae do it for something to do - a way to see new places and new things, and also to be mischievious (they have one that specifically steals pencils, pens, and other things, and sometimes even the cat).
