I've talked about ghosts, but I haven't quite touched on the topic of the true nature of spirits. Spirits are often confused with ghosts. Although ghosts are like spirits, we should not get the two confused. Ghosts are the psyche left behind after a person parishes or dies in general, whereas a spirit can be the essence of many things. A spirit can be anything ranging from a divine being to a collective consciousness of a being, or maybe even a spiritual essence out or folklore. What creates a spirit is often subject to speculative fancy, and we cannot identify spirits completely because of their elusive ways. However, let's explore what I believe is the definitive essence of spirits.
Spirits fall into two major categories, that be of which is created beings, and creative beings. A created being is one that may be in fact made by the hands of creative humans or other spirits. A creative being refers to a spirit that is in a higher plane of existence that creates things itself, or often is commonly referred to as a divinity. A created being can maintain a creative form, and vice-versa. Spirits are either good or evil, but hardly both. They have dominion over whatever is their inner conscious. A being that is born of metal and forge will be something that assists those who seek to weld and smith, as one of art and science will assist those who wish to progress in those respective fields.
The appearance of the spiritual beings is that of any that you might expect, with countless forms. One aspect of the spiritual being is that they will appear as you can imagine. If you see an image of someone associated with a certain trait or a field, we will explicitly form an image of the being that looks as it is drawn or pictured. If our mind melds an image of our own, then it will take that form. Any spirits that are mythical creatures or ones out of folklore will appear as so. We are held to the standards perceived by others when it comes to the various appearances and conceptions of spirits, but they are not completely held to these perceptions. Some spirits can appear to people in ways that are easiest for the perceivers to grasp or believe, and often the beings that do appear to various people in different forms are beings from a higher plane. Even the common ghost or shade can appear in various ages and clothes to other people. Spirits are not bound to the mortal ties that is physical appearances. They have completely transcended the body, as they are generally hidden beings or ones that are not directly visible to the conscious eye. One has to have a spirit appear to them by whatever consciousness or planar level guides them to do, or they have to be detected through the third eye or the channel that dictates our psychic visual ability, or sixth sense.
Spirits not only serve and protect shamans and witches but also the common person. Have you not delved into the pondering of what a guardian angel is? Guardian angel was originally a term that applied to European shamans, or so I have came to know, under the name of guardian spirit or patron deity. Any wayfarer will be protected by angels, and that is my deepest wishes for you. May love and light guide your way.
