Hush November 3, 2012 November 3, 2012 A quick googling of the term gives way more supernatural stuff than the psychological entities we generally see them as. Has anyone considered any other terms for what they are without such a supernatural connotation?
Oguigi November 3, 2012 November 3, 2012 erm "soul-bonds"? and there was one more... Edit: now i remember "Dæmians and Dæmons" Oh yes and there's also "mind-dolls" pix: Link Diary: http://ponystasha.tumblr.com Koomer.
Weird0 November 3, 2012 November 3, 2012 You mean like, Thoughtforms maybe? EDIT: Soul-bonds? That makes it sound even more supernatural :D Souls.... EDIT²: "Dæmians and Dæmons" are more like a personification of your subconscious. They differ from Tulpae, in some way. If i recall that right... Also theres a whole different community behind this. They say great science is built on the shoulders of giants - not here. At Tulpa.info we do all our science from scratch; no hand holding.
fennecfoxx November 3, 2012 November 3, 2012 Thoughtforms. Imaginary friends. Deluded myself into believing my imaginary friends were real, then deluded myself into thinking they weren’t. Whatever the case, the OG gang’s still here: Host: fennec (they/them) Tulpas: Alex (he/him) and Kayleigh (she/her) Delete all memories of those who know my awkward past

Sands November 3, 2012 November 3, 2012 Head people. Also no no no don't even try bringing soul-bonders into this. Sasugokuroth Prime is my real boyfriend, really! He came from his dimension that really exists to live with me because he loves me! The THE SUBCONCIOUS ochinchin occultists frt.sys (except Roswell because he doesn't want to be a part of it)
Guest Albatross_ November 3, 2012 November 3, 2012 We've had this thread before. More than once, iirc. The name isn't going to change solely for SEO purposes. soul bonders Soul bonders are more believable than a lot of the shit on this site. daemons Daemons are a different but related concept. What we have are not daemons. Familiars Thought forms Servitors Sigils Golems Elementals Negatives Watchers Artificial Constructs Imprint Of those, only 'thoughtforms' comes anywhere near being related to what we have.
Pinkamena November 3, 2012 November 3, 2012 Of those, only 'thoughtforms' comes anywhere near being related to what we have. I think familiar is pretty close. The book I made my first on purpose tulpa from called them spirit familiars.
Hush November 3, 2012 Author November 3, 2012 Familiars - am I a wizard now? Thought forms - I am fairlly satisfied with this one. Servitors - Even ignoring the common usage of the term in the community, it implies the host basically owns it. Sigils - Haven't I heard this in the context of magical runes among neo pagans? Golems - Sounds soul-less... Elementals - Weren't we going for something less supernatural? Negatives - Maybe this one bares some explaination? Watchers - Not very accurate IMO. Artificial Constructs - The term Mental Construct might work, otherwise it just sounds like a robot or something without implying the mental nature at all. Imprint - See Negatives. Soulbonds - See Elementals.. I've heard headmate occasionally, which I like if not for the fact that it applies as well(if not better) to natural multiples.
Guest Albatross_ November 3, 2012 November 3, 2012 Quote: A Familiar by popular deffanition, is a being who possesses "magic" powers and psychic abilities and uses those powers to aid a Witch in witchcraft. There are two common types of Familiars: Spirit Familiars and Animal Familiars. Both are very different from each other. Spirit Familiars (also called Faerie Familiars or Elementals) are non human beings, often with demi-god like abilities. Angels, Faeries, Aliens, Poltergeists, Demons, and Ghosts are all considered to be types of Spirit Familiars, although what defines a spirit is itself in question. Most trains of thought, consider a spirit to be a being who is without physical form, however there are thousands of accounts of both Faeries and Angels who had solid physical bodies, and some evidence suggesting that Faeries and Angels are born and die, just as Humans do. (http://seawitch-familiars.webs.com/) Quote: Spirit familiars can be the spirits of animals that have once lived or they can be those animal spirits a witch or magician has come into contact with through divination, astral travel or other extra sensory communications. These beings have either lived as animals in a past incarnation (and thus contain all the species' totem characteristics) or they exist as spirit "governors" of a sort. They watch over and govern the spirits of their species in between incarnations. They also teach the attributes of their species to magicians, witches, shamans and other seekers of arcane and esoteric knowledge.
