Entity attachments: How they and what to know
Welcome back to another post in our series exploring the spiritual realm—entities, psychic attacks, attachments, and protection. If you haven’t read the previous posts on spirit guides, lower astral beings, and spiritual attacks, I highly recommend starting there first. Today we’re picking up right where we left off—talking specifically about entity attachments.
What are they? How do they form? And most importantly—what can we do about them?
Let’s begin with the basics.
What is an entity attachment?
Entity attachments happen when a spirit being—usually one that has lost its connection to Source—attaches to a human in order to siphon energy. These beings cannot fully manifest into the physical realm without a host, and so they seek to inhabit people who are energetically open, vulnerable, or unaware. Their goal is to expand their dominion, maintain influence, and feed off lower vibrational energy to survive.
Lower astral entities can see our energy bodies. If there is a weakness or opening—especially one created through trauma, addiction, unconscious consent, or ancestral ties—they may form a connection. These are spiritual parasites. And unless that access point is healed and sealed, the attachment can grow over time.
What is a stronghold?
A stronghold is a spiritual structure that traps and feeds off energy. On a personal level, an entity attachment can function just like a stronghold, especially if it’s been sustained over time through habits, agreements, and unhealed wounds.
When we engage with a spirit over and over, we create a portal. Just like areas of land where sacrifices or rituals have been repeated can become energetic hotspots or strongholds, our bodies can carry these same signatures. Our chakras are portals to the spirit realm. If one remains open to lower energies, it can invite more than one entity. Where there is one, there are usually more.
How do entity attachments form?
There are many pathways to attachment. If you’ve engaged with any of these, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have an attachment—but they are common open doors I’ve seen in years of journeying and spiritual work. Let’s walk through them one by one.
1. Direct contact with spirits or spiritual agreements
This is the most straightforward path. It includes things like witchcraft, spell work, mediumship, channeling, and occult rituals—even if they seem harmless or are done unknowingly. Playing with Ouija boards, invoking deities, or calling in “guides” through new age practices can all establish spiritual contracts. Once that connection is made and repeated, an energetic bond is formed.
Even well-meaning spiritual teachers or healers can unknowingly create soul ties with students or clients—especially when energetic cords or spiritual contracts are formed through sexual interaction or rituals. Some of these ties can carry over ancestrally.
2. Consumption and physical openness
Our body is a sacred vessel. But what we put into it—and how we use it—can also become an access point. Drugs, alcohol, sugar, and even over-the-counter medication can weaken the aura and create entry points for attachments.
Sex is another significant portal. It’s a deeply energetic exchange—consensual or not—and it opens the lower chakras. Through sex, we take on spiritual energy from our partner and everyone they’ve been with. Even fantasy and self-pleasure can open these lower portals and create connections. Energetic ties can form through the womb and even through past trauma stored in the body.
3. Objects and environments
Some objects carry spirits. Ritual statues, talismans, masks, mirrors, jewelry, books, and tarot decks can all become access points for entities—especially if they have been used in spiritual practice or come from places with heavy energetic histories.
If your space suddenly feels “off,” or if you feel a shift after bringing something new into your home, listen to that. Your body knows. An object may carry an attachment that seeks interaction, offerings, or simply your attention. Once you respond, even subtly, a connection begins.
4. Ritual and entertainment
Even seemingly innocent gatherings and rituals can invite spiritual interaction. If spirits are invited in—even if done unconsciously—it can lead to a sustained energetic presence. Entertainment and media can also act as modern-day ritual. The term “entertainment” itself refers to the entertaining of spirits. Music, concerts, and performances often function like mass rituals and can energetically impact the audience—especially when combined with repetitive rhythms, symbolism, or high emotional states.
5. Trauma and soul fragmentation
Unhealed trauma opens portals in the spirit body. When a person experiences trauma, a fragment of the soul can become separated, creating an energetic opening. This emptiness emits a low-frequency signature that attracts lower beings looking to feed off of unresolved pain, grief, or shame. That’s why healing is essential—not just for mental health, but for energetic sovereignty.
6. Ancestral and generational ties
Some entity attachments are inherited. In families where spiritual practices, witchcraft, secret societies, or ritual abuse have occurred, the contracts made with spirits may be passed on to children. The spirit is considered part of the lineage and can influence patterns like addiction, violence, poverty, depression, and even illness.
You can look at patterns in your family to discern if a particular spirit or stronghold has been carried forward. And yes—healing these ties doesn’t just help you. It helps your descendants and your ancestors. Because in the spirit realm, time is not linear. The past is not fixed.
7. Consent through deception
Some beings don’t wait for your explicit permission. They manipulate, present as guides, or offer seemingly helpful messages. This is common with certain “ET” or “future self” narratives, where people are told they agreed to a contract before birth. But this is often a spiritual deception that allows the being to establish an ongoing energetic tether to your field.
Remember—just because a message sounds kind or interesting doesn’t mean it’s from the light.
8. Technology and energetic imprinting
Technology is frequency. And everything we interact with has an energetic imprint. Screens, music, images, and digital content can all carry a vibrational charge. Some lower entities are referred to as “powers of the air” because they move through electromagnetic frequencies. That’s why anointing your devices and being conscious of the media you consume is so important. Your spirit is not separate from what your body absorbs through the senses.
What matters most is awareness
Attachments don’t form in every instance of exposure. But they can form more easily if you are unaware, emotionally vulnerable, fragmented, or repeatedly engaging with the same spirit or pattern.
Once attachments are formed, they tend to show up in the areas of life where you’re most blocked or oppressed. That’s also where your greatest healing and growth is possible—because these places hold your karmic lessons and your purpose.
In closing
Attachments are real. But they’re not permanent. They don’t mean something is wrong with you. And they absolutely don’t mean you’re broken. What they do signal is that your energy field has become open in certain places, and that it’s time to reclaim your sovereignty.
We’ll dive into the signs and symptoms of entity attachment and how to heal from them in the next post. Until then, stay grounded, stay clear, and remember that your healing affects everything—your future, your past, and your entire lineage.
With love,
