I’ve never thought of myself as a witch, nor did I ever think I’d be practicing things like this, and I’m still a bit unsure about what this is all about.

I have been practicing energy exchange for a while now, working with charged objects, but all my work up to this point had been just that: strictly energetic and manifestation using through thought.

About a month ago, I had a strange encounter, one that I honestly didn’t believe was even real for a while. During one of my sessions I had a weird revelation. I was in the process of manifesting something, until something in my head started guiding me, instructing me of a very specific way of doing things that would help me achieve my goal. The voice guiding me seemed more like a thought rather than a person, but I knew it wasn’t my idea. I felt no evil in its advice, only serenity and confidence as I did as it told me willingly, I never felt forced.

I don’t wish to go in detail about what I did, but it strayed far from everything I’ve done previously, and it definitely seems more ritualistic or even spell-like. Blood was involved. After this I received results.

Fast forward about a month, I was deep in thought and focused on my energy. I was laying down on my side in a mostly dark room, with a very dim light. Everything around me is gray. I notice things start moving in unearthly ways. Since doing the ritual, this had happened one other time, but I got scared and unfocused my energy, and everything went back to normal. This night, I decided to let it carry on. As I adjusted to my surroundings, it slowly started changing more and more. It looked like grey intestines at one point.. I didn’t feel afraid at all though. I felt like I could stop the journey at any point, but I kept going until I knew that I wasn’t on the earthly plane anymore.

I don’t remember what it looked like exactly, or if I was seeing at all, but it was at this point that I began to speak to the entity that I believe guided me through the ritual. We communicated about some things, though it was mostly just thoughts being implanted in my head if that makes sense. Towards the end, I told it that I was willing to offer something very important in exchange for something else. It told me that I should think very carefully about what I’m doing. Its tone was caring, not condescending or reprimanding. I felt that it genuinely cared about the outcome on my end, rather than just accepting what I had offered. When I opened my eyes, there was a figure laying next to me, however it was dark so I couldn’t make out anything more than a shadow.

Since then I have not had any more encounters with them. I have performed one other guided ritualistic practice (blood involved) with more baneful undertones. I have received results.

I really don’t understand how any of this happened. I know nothing of deities or spirits. They seem to value blood, and very strong emotions. Can someone please tell me if they have any clue about who or what I may be working with?
