hey there.
curious about anyone's experiences engaging their "spirit teams" which are a concept I've found to pop up in a good many esoteric/folk magic systems.
I'll share a bit about my experience. looking forward to hearing yours!
first, what is a "spirit team" in my understanding? my family has been practicing Sanse/Espiritismo for generations. in Sanse they describe how every human is born with a "spirit team" made up of beings that decide to join your soul along this incarnation to help/live vicariously through you. who these spirits are depends on your soul's intend in this life, pacts made in past lives, and spirit work done by your ancestors to "curate" your team (for example, a Native American tribe creates pacts with deities to protect their tribal lineage - therefore children born to the tribe "default" get that/those protectors on their team). (PS: I didn't know this side of my family and only learned about their practices later, after digging around after my abilities started appearing)
I believe they have curated a strong team for me, and I've been trying to learn more about them and how to engage with them directly.
here's what they've done for me:
Friends who have vision see an aura of refracting light around me. In Sanse this is supposed to mean you have a specific kind of being on your team (allegedly "angel" but idk).
When practicing Rosicrucian techniques for accessing info (asking questions to the universe, sensing stories from objects) I was getting legit attacked consistently (my friend who has vision saw me encased in 1000 black hands), but the attacking beings couldn't touch me directly because the refracting light created an "armor" of sorts. I still got some physical symptoms of attack but was lot less bad than could have been.
When engaging with an upset spirit one time, me and my friend woke up with cuts. His was a lot deeper than mine (mine was barley a scratch). We think that I was protected by my team here.
I did automatic writing one time, where I asked my guides to talk to me: they basically told me that "they'd approach me when I would not expect it and ask me to open a door for them". Later I investigated this concept in Sanse and the known way to engage your team is asking a Sanse protector deity (Papa Legba) to open a door so that only your team can communicate through it (protecting you from accidentally engaging with a false being).
I get omens and signs from them ALL THE TIME, little gifts and "jokes" between me and them that they drop for me. This has been happening for like 3 years ever since I unlocked something.
they give me my "fave number" as a pointer that I'm going in the right direction.
....
SO - with all that said, they're obviously (to me) helping me out on the daily, but I really want to talk with them. My divination with runes says that communicating via automatic writing, or some other rituals I've come across (Teal Swan, exercise for communicating with spirit team from YouTube) can be dangerous because I could receive communications from tricksters pretending to be my team member.
So, I've basically scheduled a time to go to a Sanse practitioner and do a proper seance to communicate with my team and "learn the name" of my team lead so that I can lock onto their signature and communicate with them directly solo. This is the recommended way of doing things in Sanse because it's "safe".
But I know there's many ways to skin a cat. Super curious to see what you all are doing on this end and to see if I can learn anything. Thanks!
