There’s a moment in entity work where the whole experience stops being “a technique” and starts becoming a relationship; A lived one between yourself, the magical entity, and the results you create.
And if you’ve done enough experiments with magical entities: servitors, thoughtforms, created spirits, egregores, or whatever label you prefer—you’ve probably bumped into this question:
Could an entity contact you before you’ve ever created it?
At first glance, that sounds like a paradox, like you’re trying to have a conversation with a being that doesn’t exist yet.
But the deeper you go into this work, the more you realize:
“Before” and “after” are meat-space concepts.
They’re useful… until they aren’t.
And entity work is one of the fastest ways to find the edges of your assumptions about reality.
The Space-Time Glitch: Chicken, Egg, and the Entity That Seeds You
That “can an entity contact you before you create it?” question is basically the magical version of the chicken-or-the-egg problem.
Because yes, technically, you bring the entity into existence.
But in practice?
The entity also brings you into existence.
I mean it in the way that:
an idea changes the person who receives it
a relationship changes the person inside it
a pattern changes the life it’s shaping
Entity work isn’t a one-way street. It’s not “I create a thing and command it.” It’s co-lived experience.
And once you accept that, the question shifts from:
“Is it possible?”
to
“Why wouldn’t it be?”
Because the first contact doesn’t have to be a voice in your ear or a full apparition in your bedroom.
Sometimes the contact is inspiration itself with the entity tapping you on the shoulder and saying:
“Build me. I’m useful. Let’s do this.”
And if you’ve ever had that happen, you know the feeling. It’s a signal that your magical ecosystem is calling you in.
Join us for the Entity Craft Magical Experiments Challenge
Our next live Magical Experiments challenge starts January 26th!
In Entity Craft we’ll be spending 14 days exploring an experimental protocol for designing and working with magical entities. Whether you’re experienced or new with working with magical entities, this fun 14 day live experience will challenge what you know about magical entities so you can discover:
Meet spirits already orbiting your life
Create and collaborate with an entity uniquely tailored to your needs
Learn different methods of contact and communication to build rapport with your entity.
Explore real-world applications of magical relationships in everything from art to business to healing
Learn new experimental practices for entity creation that have never been shared anywhere else
The Real Secret of Entity Work: You’re Building Allies for a lifetime
Entity work is about results AND it’s about changing the way you relate to reality.
It’s about realizing that:
inspiration can be contact
emotion can be fuel
results can be guidance
relationships can be engineered
and your life doesn’t have to be harder than it needs to be
If you take anything from this, take this: Stop treating entities like disposable spell-robots.
Treat them like collaborators.
Because the magician who builds allies doesn’t just get results…
They build a world that wants to work with them.
