Trapping spirits\entity's

Some peole really get into this. Personally, Im rather skeptical.

but...have you checked out the forums at Creepy Hollow? theres one board dedicated to this. Also, one purveyor might be able to help you out, Lisa Hankins, at

www.mysticmorningtreasures.com

Spirited Enterprises also has a forum about this too.

Youve probably already looked into all that though.?

Anyways, good luck with your project.

Thanks but one of the sites doesn't work to well

I've got questions as to why you wish to do this. This isn't a game and I hope you don't think you can use spirits to do your bidding [attack your enemies, protect your stuff...] Spirits were human once and manipulating them for fun isn't something I condone.

Spirits have been known to attach themselves naturally to objects and help people if asked, you can also bind spirits to objects to protect yourself from the angry ones, but spirits in general are just kind of there. My friend passed away 2 weeks ago and his spirit is still around [was talking with it last night] the thought of someone trapping his spirit in an object for fun, experiment, or to manipulate into fighting is incredibly upsetting, so I will not provide you with a how to guide for such things. However, if you are being attacked by a spirit I will provide a cleansing and protection to help you.

If they're malevolent than try banishing and cleansing spells as well as protection. If you just want to trap a spirit, why? I mean if it's for wanting them to help you than you could just ask. I mean they are living things after all. What Neckoshema said.

I can understand your reasons but the main reason why is for protection

If you bind them they may try in a way to reverse it and attack on you..at least that's what I'd do. Protection, there are many ways to protect. You have spirit guides; who told you they don't protect you? Your matron/patron Deity/ies should protect you as well.

What kind of protection are you talking ahout?

Just cast a spell for protection. You can even get to know an entity and then try to communicate with them and see if you can get protection from them.

I wrote a post on spirit vessels, knock yourself out.

Exactly, communicating with the entity should work as well, binding is not necessary.

if it's protection from a spirit, cleanse and protect, most of the time you don't need to trap/bind a spirit. simply cleanse/protect yourself and your home and wear a protection charm to keep negative spirits away [daily shielding can also help]
