Introduction

You’re probably wondering why I’ve written this book. After all, didn’t I co-write the classic Creating Magical Entities book, which to this day people are still using? If it ain’t broke, why am I writing my own book on this topic? It’s a fair question to ask. In fact, Creating Magical Entities is a great book, and one I’d recommend you pick up if you don’t already have it. But I’m writing this book for a few different reasons, and I’m going to be very candid as to why.

The first reason is that this book is the second book in my new series of magic books, How to Work with Spirits. I’ve decided to write this series because the material I generally find on the topic isn’t what I would teach someone about how to work with spirits. The series I’m writing is an opportunity to share my system of working with spirits, which I’ve written about to some degree in my other books. What I haven’t done is address the topic on its own, and that’s what this series of books is for. My goal is to present you with my methodology and practices for working with spirits, as well as my specific techniques.

The second reason I’m writing this particular book is because Creating Magical Entities was written in 2003. It’s now 2020, and, suffice to say, my own work with magical entities has evolved a bit since I helped write that book. In this book I want to share my own perspective on this topic, as well as the innovations and practices I’ve developed that can help you take this work even further than it’s gone before. I’ve also simplified the process for creating an entity, and I think you’ll find it very approachable and helpful in your work. Additionally, I’m providing a troubleshooting guide in this book that can help you figure out what’s wrong if your magical entity isn’t working. We’ll also be doing an analysis of some of the entities I’ve created over the years. Finally, there is also an online course I’m offering that supplements this book and walks you through the process of creating and working with a magical entity.

The final reason I’m writing this book is because I find magical entities to be a fascinating topic. There are different ways to create them, work with them, and they are one of the most effective ways to generate consistent results, provided they are set up correctly. I want to share all of that with you and help you transform your life by working with magical entities. So let’s get started!

Chapter 1: What are Magical Entities?

A magical entity is an entity that has been created by a magician to perform a specific task or function for the magician. That’s the simplest definition of what a magical entity is, and it’s accurate to a point, but it doesn’t entirely capture the full nature of a magical entity. It doesn’t help that in one sense the perspective we have on created entities is one based on arrogance. That’s a bold statement, so let me expand on it further.

When people think of creating a magical entity, they think of it in terms of what the magical entity can do for them. Little thought is given to the realization that what you are creating is a living being of sorts that may evolve beyond the initial constraints that you set upon it. What thought is given toward the matter is focused on trying to prevent a magical entity from becoming independent, because then it’s considered to be dangerous. We should ask ourselves a critical question: Why is there an element of danger with an entity that has been created?

My answer to that question is that perhaps the reason there is an element of danger with a created entity is because of how we treat the entity. If you create something to be a servant and that’s all you think of it as, it may come to resent you for that treatment. The typical view of a created entity is that it’s something there for YOUR convenience, but who or what would want to live an existence like that? Would you?

I have never had an overtly negative encounter with an entity that I have created or with a spirit that I’ve worked with. Even on the occasions where something negative has happened, it’s occurred more in the form of a corrective lesson that’s helped me see where I overstepped my bounds, and each time I’ve taken the lesson to heart and learned something from it. In contrast, I’ve heard stories where people have had their houses burned down or have been attacked by a spirit or had a magical entity screw up their lives in ways they didn’t want. What is the difference between me and these other people?

I believe the difference comes down to respect. I treat the spirits I work with, including magical entities I’ve created, with respect. I treat them the way I’d want to be treated. I treat them like family and friends, because they are family and friends. A life with spirits is a rich life indeed if you have the right relationships in place! When you don’t have the right relationships in place is when danger becomes part of the equation.

So what does this tangent I’ve taken us down have to do with what a magical entity is? Simply this: Whatever definition we come up with ought to describe the relationship we have with the entity as much as what an entity does and is. If we ignore that relational piece of the definition we’re leaving out something essential in our work with any type of spirit. So what is a magical entity?

A magical entity is an entity that has been created to perform a specific task or function, but has the necessary autonomy to make adjustments to its programing and a collaborative relationship with the magician that enables both the magician and the entity to thrive. It’s a long definition, but it speaks to not only what the magical entity does, but also the relationship we want to create with the magical entity. When we create magical entity, we are creating a relationship as well, so we want to be thoughtful about that relationship and what it is we are really creating. By building not just the entity and what it does, but also the relationship itself, what we ultimately create is an experience that truly empowers us and the magical entities we’re working with.

A created entity is still a spirit, albeit a spirit that you or someone else has created. The reason we use the term entity is to differentiate a created entity from other types of spirits that, so far as we know, have been around at least as long as, if not longer, than humanity. We work with a created entity differently than we might work with a traditional spirit.

There are different types
