In the context of modern, western, internet-era Tulpamancy? No.

On the site it says tulpas can go all poltergeist.And become a problem by being able to do poltergeist like stuff.Is that true?

That's a wiki for fictional villains, first of all. So it's probably just for talking about whenever "tulpas" have appeared as villains in a cartoon or anime

In metaphysics, I believe a tulpa is more like a magical servitor than the understanding on this forum. However, I am far from an expert on magical servitors, spurlpas, and tulpas. From what limited articles I read, I remember this one talking about golems and reviewing the golem episode from X-files where they called their creature a Tulpa. However, I don't know if this is the mainstream magical interpretation of a tulpa.

 

I wonder if some of what was in the article was inspired from articles like the one I linked, but since it didn't list any sources I wouldn't put much if any weight into it. I'm not sure how to research mainstream magic and get reliable information for it.

 

From my limited understanding, magic is very much input-output. I don't know if magic is always a self-fulfilling prophecy set up, but at the very least if you intend to summon a spirit or cast a spell to satisfy a vice you will summon or do something evil and if you have good intentions you will summon or do something good. Basically, if you create a magical servitor and have positive vibes or treat them with respect, bad things won't happen.

Sprul-pa* (for those who read the above and wanted to google the term)

 

- Also, those are just "stories" they're talking about on that wiki. They're as credible as any story of supernatural or mythological beings. (So, not very)

In Jewish lore, a Golem is created from clay. It gets its spirit (or life force) from rabbinical blessings. In my view, and in my view only, this has nothing what-so-ever to do with tulpa, or tulpa creation.  The question as to whether or not a tulpa can manifest in external/consensual reality, has not been settled. It is my personal belief (and only my belief) that it may become possible, if and only if, the host wishes it, and is a powerful enough magician/meditator to make it so. I am aware that Alexandria Neel wrote that her tulpa became manifest (and did harm). I know of no other (doesn't mean it isn't so) such cases. Dr. Bob

I thought you were gonna ask if tulpa.info is factual, lol.

 

I'd argue that the site you linked to is more factual, as it states that what it says is only according to legend and makes no assertion that the legends are true. So, yeah, it's factual in the sense that there are indeed some quite disturbing legends about tulpas.

[Lucilyn]

and in a more important sense, those things aren't factual in that they're talking about myths that aren't true, whereas tulpa.info is talking about real experiences people are actively having right now
