Care and Feeding of Spirits with Tchipakkan
Please join CTCW’s Otherworldly on Zoom this Wednesday, March 13th, at 8 PM Eastern time.
OK- let’s assume that you believe in fairies, elves, brownies, ancestor spirits, but what do you do next? Who wouldn’t love a house wight or hob who’ll help with the housework? Who doesn’t want to stay on the good side of whoever keeps hiding the tools you need and make them pop back in when you give up on them? But what do you do if you live in an apartment? You have no hearth, no well? Can you attract a spirit, and if so, will it be friendly? Will it be strong enough to manifest any help for you? What about if you feel there are spirits on your property and they feel hostile? Can you win them over? How do you do it?
Let’s talk about how we interact with spirits, and do they need us as much as we need them? Aside from that, if you ask a friend for help who only ever approaches you when they want help, and never just shares a meal just for friendship sake, would they want to help you?
How often does one set out a bit of milk, honey or porridge for a brownie- annually, weekly, daily? Do you leave offerings at springs, rocks, or trees nearby? Do you “feed” your hearth spirit, your door spirit, or other spirits that you may sometimes hope for help from?
The ancient Romans honored their ancestors with little meal and drink.Tomte, Nisse, & Brownies were fond of porridge with butter and honey. Other spirits liked other things. Fairies like sugar and sparkle. Others like tobacco or alcohol. Irish and Caribbean spirits are often partial alcohol. Coins are left at crossroads, sometimes stacked stones. Mesopotamians and others made houses for their spirits to live in. What do we leave, or do, and why?
Other spirits (poltergeists) we may not want around, how do we avoid attracting those or get rid of them?

People are psychic, magick is real, ghosts and other spirits exist, and people can heal with energy. Each culture around the world had come up with ways to explore these realities, and that’s great, we can learn from each other, that’s how we change the world.
The Changing Times-Changing Worlds Conference is a conference for learning about magick, psychic abilities, spiritual practices, divination, healing modalities, folklore, and similar skills; it takes place in early November each year in New England (or the upper east coast). Since we enjoy such topics all year, every Wednesday, we have the Otherworldly show, featuring many of our speakers, and similar topics. We hope you can join us Wednesday at 8. If you miss this show, the recordings are posted on Youtube Thursday or Friday.
