Questions About The Bandar Options

Ok, sort of a long one here.


I have read that the Bandar are like a separate set of entities, not good or evil in human terms, and are often a reflection of sorts of the one who calls them.


As a child, I lived in a house that had a powerful entity in it. When I was left alone at night, it would terrify me, until one night I used my imagination and called or created something darker, meaner, and more powerful than what was in the house to protect me. It worked, and the being I called has been with me sense. It has at times been hard to control, like a chained dog it doesn't seem happy if ignored. It has manifested least once in another case where a friend was being haunted (for lack of a better word) and it attacked the bad guy pretty badly, and almost consumed it. In cases where I have been in houses with presences, all I ahve to do is release it and the entities either leave or are eaten.


As time went on, I began to make peace with it. It seems to hover around the chakra point near my navel (sorry, I am not good with terminology). Once I began my work with the necro, it calmed down a lot, to the point where I wondered if it was still there. Two nights ago a lady was with me in bed and she began to feel things crawling on her and got scared, I calmed her down(she thought it was bugs or some such but my apartment is bug free) and got her back to sleep. I am pretty sure it was just some psychic trash, the same stuff that sometimes accumulates around me. So I called the daemon inside of me, let it loose, and the shenanigans ended.

I always felt it was most likely a thought form I created that is linked to my energies, or some part of my psychic make up that is just over activeMy feeling of this companion seems to resemble much of what I have read here of the Bandar. It becomes calmer when I give it attention, and I have yet to encounter anything, ever, that can even come close to matching it's power when I am threatened. As I said earlier, it has become much "nicer" since my necro work has begun.


ANyone care to speculate as to what this is? Is this possibly a Bandar like being that I somehow called long ago? Or am I way off base?

I don't think that you summoned a bandar as bandars tend to hate you. Bandars also don't typically reside within a person, rather, they either reside near the person until they are banished. It sounds to me like you created an egregore (a spirit servitor), or judging by its power, an Archtypal Image (more powerful and intelligent version). Usually it takes a group to make Archtypal Images, but this one rests in your solar plexus chakra when it isn't active. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hmm.gif) The solar plexus is one of the most powerful energy centers on the body and is likely basking in your energy, continuing to grow in power, and if this is indeed an egregore that you store in your solar plexus... then you're a f*cking genius!

Here's a description of what an Archetypal Image is by Konstantinos:

Intentionally Created Archetypal Images (Group Egregores): These
entities are deliberately brought into being by magical lodges to serve as
guardians or energy sources for specific magical workings. Group egregores
are allowed to exist as long as the lodge of their creation exists and
sometimes longer. The reason they do not become dangerous, like normal
egregores, lies in the method of their creation. Unlike the latter, group
egregores work with an energy current. When not actively working for a
magical goal, these beings exist within this current and do not wander
around the physical plane causing trouble. If a magician were to align
him or herself with a magical current by joining a lodge, then he or she
would be able to evoke and work with these beings. A solitary magician,
however, has to work with either egregores of his or her creation or with
archetypal images of the following type: (describes Unintentionally
Created Archetypal Images)

Your solar plexus is the energy stream that your egregore/Image exists in when inactive. Normally this is somewhere in the astral plane, but the energy inside one of your chakras is sufficient to keep it at bay. I've never heard of this before! This is quite exciting for me. Well... there are dangers of letting egregores live too long, especially since it lives inside you, but the advantages are enormous. If it starts getting too out of hand, then I'd destroy it and make another, but it sounds to me like you don't need to do this right now, especially since it's getting calmer.

The reason it's getting calmer is probably because you are working with an effective system of magick. I don't think it matters if you work with the Necronomicon, Solomonic Magick, Psionics, etc. as long as you practice magick. Being a magician grants you better control, and it increases your power.
