Dear Friends of the Dark
Many people ask me about making their spirit feel welcomed when they receive them as they are new to owning a haunted doll or object and naturally it's normal to be nervous or excited.
Find a place for them that you feel they would like to be: If it's a sociable spirit, put it with others, if quiet maybe put it in a room alone or just with a few others. If it likes animals, make sure it can see your pet if you have one.
A Bonding Ritual is a great thing to do as it makes your spirit feel more welcomed, it is a bit like a spell or poem and you say it in a way that they know you are focussing on just them and introducing them to your home
Burn incense for it to cleanse the spirit and your house of bad entitities, you can use White Sage smudge sticks(they have a more powerful effect) or incense sticks. If a positive spirit you don't always have to do this
You can find essential oils that the spirit likes, they may prefer floral scents or fruity or woody scents, just try them out and see what activity you get.
You can communicate in many different ways with the spirits, my preferred methods are all old-school : Ouija board, Spirit Writing, Pendulum. However there is nothing to stop you from using the K2 Meters, EMF readers, Ghost Box, EMF bears etc. You can see which the spirits respond to the most, some may not respond to any if they are not comfortable, remember they are spirits and not things you can force to act, they will provide you with activity when they wish to communicate.
Just keep an eye out for signs of them communicating as some might feel bad if ignored, just know what you are taking on when you adopt as they want to be treated as a friend or family member
Even if you don't have time to communicate with these methods, maybe just whisper or talk to them, let them know you are around and you care, or move them into the room with you. Some spirits are very low maintenance and may just like being in your home, it's entirely dependent upon their personality.
You can give them gifts or offerings that suit the spirit's personality & taste, if younger spirits they may like teddies or dolls or toys and if a little older they may prefer ornaments or candles that are in scents that they like. Jewellery is another gift I sometimes gift to my spirits if they are older and I think they would like something I will buy it for them, I usually get necklaces for them as I can just place it around them. I find gifts make them more responsive and happy where they are, they also tend to open up a bit more to different forms of communication
Love & Light
