A Crash Course On Channeling

A Crash Course on Channeling

image

What is Channeling?

Channeling is allowing a nonphysical entity to use your physical body, in order to accomplish something. If that sounds, vague, it’s because it is. Channeling takes many different forms and intensity levels! Depending on how it’s done, it can be a medium-difficulty task or one of the most advanced things a spirit worker can do. 

Types of Channeling

I once heard channeling described as a car ride, and in my experience that’s very accurate. The car is your body, and you’re in it with an entity. Sometimes you’re in the driver’s seat, and the entity is in the back seat giving directions. Sometimes you or the entity is in the passenger’s seat: not calling most of the shots, but able to reach over and grab the wheel if needed. Sometimes you’re in the backseat watching the entity drive, and sometimes you’re in the trunk. In practice, this can take a number of forms.

Speaking on Behalf. This is the kind of channeling people do most often. The entity isn’t controlling you, just feeding you lines which you can then relay to a third party. You’re translating their messages to something other people can comprehend. If you’ve ever answered a question for a spirit in their words, you’ve done this. 

Isolated Channeling. The entity takes control of just a part of the body, usually the hands or fingers. This is mostly used for things like automatic writing.

Assuming Form. Also known as consensual possession. The entity is in the driver’s seat, speaking and acting for themselves without your help. Some people will call this “horsing.”

Possession. While the word “possession” could technically cover all of this, within the spirit work community it’s usually reserved for channeling where the human did not consent beforehand. This doesn’t necessarily mean in a violating way- I once had a friend who got possessed just long enough for an entity to yank them out of danger; once I was taken for just a moment to convey a quick (but very direct) message to a devotee, and snapped out of it right after. 

Reasons to Channel

Everyone will have a different reason to channel but most of them fall under a few categories:

Helping Someone Else. You’re channeling on behalf of someone who can’t [easily] reach the entity themselves, in order to ease communication between the two parties. This is often seen with mediums contacting spirit guides and Ancestors.

Aid in Other Works. The entity is better suited to accomplish a certain task than you, so you let them take the lead. This is often seen with a familiar or spirit companion, someone the practitioner works with closely enough to know their strengths and trust them. 

Easier Communication Overall. Channeling is a way to get really familiar with an entity’s energy. Again, we often see this with spirit companions and is more to bond than to achieve another goal.  This would include automatic writing or letting a spirit experience things “through” you. 

Ritual Invitation. In some traditions, it’s common to invite deities to ritual events. Often, some type of channeling/possession is expected and is usually reached through ecstatic experiences. It’s taken as a sign the deity has arrived at the party, either a sign the offerings have been received or a time for the deity to convey important messages. 

Before-You-Begin Essentials

Know How To Protect Yourself. This is non-negotiable. Is your discernment tuned enough to spot an impostor or malevolent entity? Do you know how to end a session early? Do you know how to banish a spirit in an emergency? If the answer is no, then study up and return to channeling when you’re ready. 

Know Your Entity. Channeling, by nature, puts the practitioner in an intimate and vulnerable place, so you don’t want to give that access to an entity who may misuse it. If it’s your first time channeling, make sure you trust this entity with your life. 

Don’t Channel Alone. When you channel, you’re in an altered state of consciousness. Having someone grounded near you helps keep the session on track and keep you out of trouble should you need it. (Either by forcing an entity out if needed or just keeping you from climbing that tree.) 

Other Notes

It’ll Probably Take a Lot Out of You. Have something ready to ground and rehydrate yourself after a session, and make sure you don’t have anything high-demand planned after. 

Start Small. No need to jump head-first into the most advancecd and high-intensity types of channeling! Start with automatic writing or painting and get used to the feeling and work your way up.

Don’t Make It Weird. Basic etiquette still matters. Channeling is not a pass to give unsolicited messages to other practitioners, speak on behalf of their deities to them (unless they’ve specifically asked), or say hurtful things cushioned by: “What? It wasn’t me who said it.”

Messages Are Rarely “Pure.” This means everything is still filtered through you, the practitioner. Your values, morals, biases, and beliefs can inform what messages get through and how they are conveyed. Nobody wants to send out a message they disagree with, after all. This becomes less of an influencing factor with experience as one learns to hone their skill and let go more, but it’s important to always keep in mind. (If a channeling friend says a deity doesn’t accept your gender identity or something, that’s a good sign that really your “friend” doesn’t accept it.)

Why is tumblr so weird?

And I am not talking about the content on this website… I am talking about the website itself, like from a technical standpoint…

Why Is Tumblr So Weird?

and this window doesn’t just look different, it is miles ahead of the other one in every single way, for example this his the build in text editor:

Why Is Tumblr So Weird?

yeah, you can change color and font without doing any HTML bullshit… 

And the wildest thing… you’re not limited to one kind of post with this create post window… 

You want to create a hybrid post that has pictures, text, a video and music? you can just do that no problem…

They could live some periods of their life in solitude and they could chose to become hermits to explore their spiritual side.

Tarot 101: Using Personality Types to Understand Court Cards

image

One of the ways we might read court cards, as I discussed in the previous part of my Tarot 101 series, is to look at them as people. A pulled tarot card might represent yourself or someone in your life, or you might even choose to select a court card as a signifier to intentionally represent yourself or someone else in a reading. But how do you choose? We can personalize and analyze the qualities of each card to understand how a selected court card might represent one person or another, but one interesting way of attaching personality these cards that has been discussed is using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test.

What is Myers-Briggs?

image

By Jake Beech - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0 

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test (MBTI) is a “personality inventory” test used to make Carl Jung’s psychological research “understandable and useful” for people (Myers & Briggs Foundation). The test asks subjects to identify preferences based on the four dichotomies from Jung’s theories:

Favorite world - used to define Extraverted (E) or Introverted (I) personality types

Information - used to define Sensing (S) or Intuition (N) personality types 

Decisions - used to define Thinking (T) or Feeling (F) personality types

Structure - used to define Judging (J) or Perceiving (P) personality types

When the result of each of these dichotomies is defined, a personality type is expressed in a four character “code” (Myers & Briggs Foundation).

(You can take the MBTI test here.)

What About Court Cards? 

There are sixteen possible MBTI personality types (you can learn more about each type from the Myers-Briggs Foundation here). There are also sixteen court cards in a standard tarot deck with four face cards in each suit. The personality types can be more broadly attached to suits overall. For instance, Wands and Cups are both intuitive (N) suits, but wands are thinking (T) while cups are feeling (F). Swords and Pentacles can be paired in the same way. Both Swords and Pentacles are sensing (S) suits, but Swords are thinking (T) while Pentacles are feeling (F) (TarotX). 

Using the MBTI personality codes can help us understand the ways that the suits interact with in a deck and how the different court cards differ from one another. As an example, we can look at the Knight of Wands and the Knight of Cups. Both intuitive individuals, but the Knight of Wands takes more time to think logically while the Knight of Cups is more considerate of people’s feelings and emotionally driven consequences. 

It is also useful for breaking down stereotypes that are often embedded in the court cards, such as masculine power over feminine individuals with the implication that the Kings are move valuable cards than the Queens. (Plot twist: they’re equally capable and powerful cards, they just operate differently.) All MBTI personality types are equally valuable, and the court cards are too.

Knowing your own MBTI personality type (or other’s) can be useful for getting a deeper understanding of the way court cards function should you choose to read them as people. It can also help you select signifiers by selecting the card that matches your particular personality type or selecting a card with a personality type you’d like to embody. For instance, if you are INTJ (Queen of Wands), you may choose to signify that you want to be more extroverted by placing an ENTJ (King of Wands) card.

Understanding and using MBTI tests and types and understanding Jung’s theories (which have been used to develop modern understandings of tarot and shadow work) is one way that you can continue to deepen your readings and give yourself more resources for approaching readings beyond card keywords.
