[Help] Can entities contact you without prompting?

[Butterfly Affect]

Yes they can. But why haven't you done more to identify this spirit? Are we not magicians/occultists? If you asked and didn't really get an answer you don't just throw in the towel and go "ah well, might as well let this foreign energy that I have zero idea on what it is just stick around". I would be doing everything in my power to figure out who and what this spirit is. It very well could be an ally but if so they would usually make themselves known and simply say so. But it could also be something malevolent and seeing to feed and/or harm. And it could also be a big pile of nothing. Just an amalgamation of built up energy from your magical workings and random emotions (more so if you have others in the home) that has achieved semi-consciousness. However, you won't know which of these it is until you identify the spirit.

Do a divination or two. Ask any patrons/matrons, psychopomps, familiars, or otherwise guiding spirits if they know who this entity is, and go from there.

I tried this with tarot beforehand and got inconclusive results. But I haven't noticed it around anyway.

Can they? Sure.

1) For most of these posts, the answer is mundane psychological stuff.

2) If not then, in general it’s someone working magick that gets their attention and it makes you more sensitive to being able to hear/see/sense them. If you don’t want their attention then: continue to ignore them and they’ll eventually probably move along, stop practicing (and work on you in mundane ways) and soon you won’t be able to sense them and then they will probably move along, or like said above banish them.

Banish if they are causing you issues but if you have no skill in this stuff ignoring them and stop messing around with occult stuff may be your better bet. All that assuming they aren’t harming you or others around you. Protection amulets or items to drive aways spirits is another way to go (these were the bread & butter money making services of a lot of historic practitioners - along with love spells ).

Im always surprised that people dont make many efforts to look into the protection side of things when they start out looking into magick. as Holdall mentioned the Sword Banishing is fast and effective, the LBRP is good too but takes way longer, gateway tapes Bubble technique is decent as well, and Jason Millers book on Protection & Reversal Magick fills in way more gaps.
But even just calling on Michael to help.

Keep in mind using the LBRP helps issues bubble to the surface and pushes them out so its more obvious to the person as something to let go or work on. the OP mentioned various issues.

Maybe I should have said that I need to work on myself specifically. Yes, I know magick can help with myself. It's probably easier to actually make myself hot and charismatic than to try to draw a potential mate, with or without magick.

If you're down bad and thinking you need to work on yourself and you have a feeling something is trying to make contact dont rule out it might be your daimon nudging you. Especially if you've already started looking into magick related topics.

No its better to give yourself the foundation to achieve that result, will power, focus etc. Glamour magick and other influence magick can work but those are bandaid fixes to the issues. Magick opens the doors to a number of possibilities but it needs to be directed in the right ways. Not sure which books / practices you have experience which may be a limiting factor in implementing those things.

But as Damon Brands books have been brought up they have an excellent spirit catalog to choose from. Angels of Alchemy 42 letter name of God angels - are really powerful in fixing deep rooted issues. Hence the name of the book alchemy, transforming.

I really started getting into it around 6 months ago, went through a dry spell, and then started again. I think I forgot some of what I learned originally, and I can't remember if I did the LBRP then or not.

I don't know anything about daimons, unfortunately.

I don't believe such issues exist. There are many issues that a particular magickian can't fix at a given time with the magick they have. That dosen't mean it can't be done. It's just a matter of finding the right magick and developing yourself. If all else fails, learn to journey to Source and ask for the spell and or technique you need.

Also a matter of defining the problem. I knew a small businessman who griped a lot he never had enough money. It transformed his life when the right person pointed out to him that what he had was, in fact, a cocaine problem. Money magick would not have been a real fix. Self-transformation magick (what my tradition calls "getting your shit together") was.

Depends what you name or define as entities but yes.
It is a matter of one's awareness not "a skill" nor "a gift" .

Spoiler: only if interested in a different perspective

We are cohabiting the same space with thousands, literally thousands of entities, energies but on different frequencies.
Some thought forms can generate an experience of what we oftenly define as an entity.... the experience is pretty real but the "math" behind is a human-based projection.
An example is the popular "shadow people" or "shadow entities" as some call these "apparitions", which from knowledge I have and a different perspective based on logic, are the shadow projected of 4d entity onto a 3d dimension... with other words, we, 3d (dimension) entities cast a 2d shadow while a 4d dimension entity cast a 3d shadow.
I know it is a bit weird to wrap this idea around the basic logic but it makes much more sense than the fear based beliefs boo hoo hoo explanations of evil or demonic entities because we fear two main things, the unknown and what we can't control.
Of course there are many, many, many, but many other entities we have no description or writings to define them but yup, that's the beauty
