I differentiate between what was once organic and what was never organic. I call former organic entities "ghosts" and never organics I term spirits. I don't know anyone else who does it the same way I do. I am sure they do, but I haven't run into them.
Yeah exactly! Of course when we’re later talking about it or something, there’s not really anything bad about trying to think of which „label“ fits best… but in the situation - nah…
Learned something new today well at least relearn part of that it’s always good To make sure we respect not just the spirit but. Also where they come from and there essence and. How we should treat them thank u for ur higher self
That’s a very interesting take on spirits. I think I agree but my brain wants to categorize the spirits as that’s wha it’s used to. Usually when I’m out in nature I just refer to the spirits as vaettir because like you said, we don’t know if they’re land, ancestral or animal spirits
@@igamckay correct spirit nature coming many forms Many forest spirits there category base on elements in nature or human in past on dwell in forest regions
This is super fascinating as a philosophical question. Personally I don't think we *should*, but it is nonetheless a very human footprint. We love to think in terms of science. Spirits are so broad, as they include both demons and gods, to elementals and souls. I think I heard somewhere that there are three types of beings; angels, spirits and 'primordial entities'
The case of fae is an example of how blurry the categories of spirits can be. They are said to be a different species than humans but they are also said to be the spirits of people of the Stone Age. That would explain why they are said to he shorter, having magickal shots and being find around tumuli that are actually burial mounds. So in that lens you can see the fae has both a nature spirit and an ancestor.
As a ghost cuddler (feeling type spirit communicator) I tend to have a few very broad categories, like sometimes I feel by touch and sometimes by an emotional pulse or wave... Its all very vague since at best I can get to the point of simple communication but even then... Sometimes spirits lie, not all of them Im sure a truth spirit wouldn't but how would I know? it's very tempting to build further categories but I see your points and would add that many of us are new to this and while foundational knowledge is a wonderful thing building a foundation when you cant REALLY tell stone from sand means maybe a different approach altogether is best. So I'll be practicing caution when it comes to such things, I know the spirits I know and I know what they are to me and that is my foundation. Much love o777
I’m not coming at this from a folkloric perspective (just an animist one) but here are my thoughts. Usually, if I encounter a spirit out in the world and don’t know where they come from, I will ask them- where are you from? who are you? Sometimes this gets me somewhere, sometimes not. It is a good way for them to communicate what they find to be important about their identity, though, which can be helpful for offerings and addressing them.
i think it would be best not to label spirits as, at least in my opinion, think of it as labelling people. no one likes being labelled as 'the one black girl' or 'that therian kid' or 'those weird brunettes'. people have names but also lives and stories and connections. the same way its rude to label people as things and label their experiences as 'exclusive to their group', i believe its safe for me to say that i don't think we should be labelling a spirit or groups of spirits for that matter. but pls, feel free to correct me if i am wrong. (ps: i love your channel and your work. may the rest of the year and the next be as you deserve it to be)
Not much of a label person. I can get a sense if they used to be human or not. There’s different intensities and feelings but labels can be limits. Spirits can also evolve. So it’s just easier to be polite when applicable and see what the spirit is willing to share. If I’m stuck, I will ask my guides or deities if it is something I need to be aware of. A lot of times, it isn’t 😅 even a lot of spirits I’ve met have a “I just exist” vibe.
Big confusion spirits and entity two different things spirits past on once living and entity live there plain of existence travel through our existence plain each practice is different that what I learn 0:30
This is an interesting perspective and thank you so much for sharing it with us. I'm new to witch craft and I had never really thought about it but as you say it makes a lot of sense.

I think especially when you are first communicating with a spirit that you shouldnt label them. This is important to keep in my brain
Yeah exactly! Of course when we’re later talking about it or something, there’s not really anything bad about trying to think of which „label“ fits best… but in the situation - nah…

The necklaces are amazing! Very pirate chic look. This gave me food for thought. Thanks and happy new year!

Thank you! Spirits are infivifuals. We do this with prople too ❤❤❤
That makes a lot of sense. Thank you!
one important thing to remember is that categories do not exist in nature. every category is made up by humans.
i just call them ghosts :3
Love ur style in this video. Very chill aesthetic
I categorize you as goddess!! I love you!

Yes it will alter your experience if you have a preconceived notion of what kind of spirit you are communicating with - say no to labels

Ich habe dieses Video mit Vorfreude begonnen und mit Bauchschmerzen vor Lachen beendet✨
