A very interesting list, thanks for sharing @carter1! 😊 Out of curiosity, is there a ritual you use to bind the spirit to these rules? And is there a mirroring set of rules that the spirit asks of their human companion/counterpart?

I guess I’m curious if working with spirits is more like working with deities, or if it’s closer to how a witch makes a mutually-beneficial contract with their [familiar](https://forum.spells8.com/t/familiars-and-a-pet/2943), or another type of bond entirely.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this! Thanks again and blessed be ✨
