Servitor Creation and Use

[SoilWork]

I posted this in my other guild and thought some people could benefit from this around here, enjoy.


Hey guys I'm here to talk about Servitors and their creation and uses.

1. What is a servitor?

For those of you who do not know or have never worked with servitors , A servitor is a thoughtform created by a magician to complete a certain task and is usually given a certain ammount of time to live or complete it's task.

2. How do I create one?

Well I'm best at creating elemental servitors by that i mean drawing from one of the four elements (earth, wind, fire, water). So I will explain both methods that I know.

Elemental Servitor Creation

*COLOR MEANINGS AT BOTTOM OF POST!*

Step 1. Lay down on your bed/floor or sit in the spot where you usually meditate.

Step 2. Begin your breathing exercises to relax your body and your mind, If this is your first time with any controled breathing i sugest the 4-7-8 breath you do that by inhaling for 4 seconds, holding it in for 7 seconds and exhaling for 8 seconds repeat a few times until you a completely relaxed, if you find other relaxation methods that work for you, use them instead.

Step 3. Now visualize a blob of color , if you used fire then make it red if you used water then make it blue if you used earth then make it green if you used air make it yellow

Step 4. Begin to visualise the blob taking shape , you can make it into an animal, a human, and anything else you can think of..or you could keep it simple and keep it a blob , your only limitations are your imagination. Be sure to make it look exactly how you want. Remember visualization is VERY important here

Step 5. After you are done creating it begin to mentally call out to it , tell it it's name (be creative smile ), tell it it's task and how long it may stay alive for. Once you feel that it understands it's task send it on it's way.

Step 6. (optional) If this is a long term servitor be sure to tell it where it may stay while it is not working for you or else it will just muck up your energy when it's not busy.

Step 7. (optional) If your long term servitor just isnt working out due to you changing your mind, it just not doing its task, or your just tired of caring for it, then do your relaxation techniques again and when you are in the same state of relaxation (or deeper) as in creation visualize your servitor and begin to deconstruct it, as in turn it back into a blob then make it completely disappear and send its energy back into the universe.

Thought Ball Creation

*COLOR MEANINGS AT BOTTOM OF POST!*

Please remember to choose a color and a task before begining

Step 1. Lay down on your bed/floor or sit in the spot where you usually meditate.

Step 2. Begin your breathing exercises to relax your body and your mind, If this is your first time with any controled breathing i sugest the 4-7-8 breath you do that by inhaling for 4 seconds, holding it in for 7 seconds and exhaling for 8 seconds repeat a few times until you a completely relaxed, if you find other relaxation methods that work for you, use them instead.

Step 3. Now visualize yourself with a BRIGHT aura of your chosen color, see it moving and glowing. For those of you who don't know what your aura looks like just visualise a light around yourself of your chosen color.

Step 4. Now direct the energy from your aura into a ball, make the ball as big or as small as you may like.

Step 5. Chant the task you wish for the thought form to complete, do this for a few minutes.

Step 6. Then visualise it leaving you through your third eye, which is on your forehead right between your eyes.

Step 7. (optional) You may masturbate to feed it some sexual energy to give it that extra OOMPFH or you may use pain or whatever ways you use to send energy , I sugested masturbation for it is the easier to do , remember when masturbating or issueing the pain or whatever you do chant your desire to aid the thoughtform.

It's very good if you don't want to make a ritual out of something but still want the desired results. This way you can cast effective spells without a big alter in your room..for those still living with their parents , this is perfect.

Sorry Tea, just posting what I use. Care to post your method or ways that I could make it better?  

[midara the happy banshee]

I had a question. During what circumstances is it best to use a servitor as opposed to a sigil?  

[emmfullness]

Interesting.... Very interesting.... Now I have yet another thing to study! whee

Well see a servitor you can keep hanging around just incase you want it to preform another task, I don't reccomend keeping them around that long because they could start to leech energy off of you. If you had a few tasks in mind you could either create a few servitors or create a more complex one (give it more commands and take more time making it, details and what not). So pretty much the advantage is a more long term use, instead of a single fire sigil, but then again I've only used sigils few times.

My only objection is a moral one, so feel free to disregard the following.

You honestly believe that it's okay to create something and then destroy it when it doesn't suit your fancy any more? Ignoring whether or not it is actually possible to create something like this, I find the ethical implications to vastly outweigh the possible/impossible argument.

If an non-divine individual actually manages to create life does that mean they have the right to destroy it simply because they feel like it? I think not.

Would it be possible for this being just to be an extension of your own life and energy though, in such a case where "destroying" it would really be more like "bringing it back to being an indistinguishable part of yourself?"

I really just kind of see this method as defining a minor aspect of yourself to program into certain tasks. At least, that's what I got from it, hypothetically.

It's my energy, why can't i do what i want with it? I tell it when I'm going to destroy it and it knows that. I have several servitors that I do keep alive..and let me tell you they aren't anything like humans..infact they are VERY dumb..they only know how to do what I told them. Giving them free thought would just be opening myself up to attacks and energy drain. If you have an ethical problem with it, then do not destroy yours.

That's like saying "It's my child, why can't I do with it what I want?"
It's still illegal to sell your child into slavery or for sex or to kill it on a whim.

I don't care if it's human like or not, if it's alive enough to function on its own then it deserves to be able to use the life it was given, and not to be destroyed. An insect is not a human, but even insects deserve to live out the lives they were given.

Like I said, it's a purely ethical problem, so your own personal ethics might not be affected by mine. *shrugs*  

[MST3Kakalina]

couldn't you always ask before you destroyed it?

as long as you give it strict instructions not to cause any trouble for your or yours, there's no reason it can float off and do what it likes, if it has any sense of self-preservation.

Step 1. Lay down on your bed/floor or sit in the spot where you usually meditate.

Step 2. Begin your breathing exercises to relax your body and your mind, If this is your first time with any controled breathing i sugest the 4-7-8 breath you do that by inhaling for 4 seconds, holding it in for 7 seconds and exhaling for 8 seconds repeat a few times until you a completely relaxed, if you find other relaxation methods that work for you, use them instead.

This is all well and good, but it doesn't always meet one's needs on the fly.

I love the objections of people who feel it is okay to steal energy from others.

Yeah, there are as many different ways to create a servitor as there are people who create them. I'm in favor of cutting it down to the basics.

lol

I'm of the mind that a servitor is an extension of your own energy/spirit/etc. One sure way to destroy it would be to simply stop feeding it your energy. Egregores are a different matter, though, as they exist from the energy of multiple people, sometimes even entire cultures. Santa Clause, anyone?
