Entities, larvae, worms and parasites of the lower astral

Entities, larvae, worms and parasites of the lower astral.

The astral plane has its own fauna, creatures of impossible structure, ethereal, translucent, often forged by a single thought, a single emotion, capable of living and growing from that uncertain beginning, moving across the vast plains of that known universe. as Low Astral.

These creatures are known as larvae, worms, and even lower astral parasites.

The necromancers were the first to consciously give shape to the worms of the lower astral. They were not demons or angels or elementals, since the larvae of the lower astral only possess a minimal degree of autonomy.

We can think of them as the materialization of an intense thought or emotion; and anything that vibrates in the adjacencies of that thought and that emotion is prohibited to them.

To dominate the creatures of the lower astral it is necessary to reach an exceptional psychic state, which shares some characteristics with certain states typical of dreams.

Medieval grimoires describe the larvae of the lower astral as dead or dying substances, which can manifest on the physical plane, and even speak, but without showing any hint of reasoning, as if they were echoes or reflections that repeat themselves incessantly.

In this context, the larvae of the lower astral are embryonic entities resulting from the disintegration of the soul upon death. After death—some forbidden books maintain—the astral body fragments into several sections.

On the one hand there is the Ego, that is, the conscience, which we could also call “spirit.” On the other hand, the different strata that make up the being remain: our most intense desires, our passions and basic impulses, all of this is normally dispersed on the astral plane; However, sometimes these impressions manage to crystallize and survive in the lower astral, naturally, with a single purpose: to feed themselves, that is, to satisfy the passion, desire or emotion that gave them life.

Curiously, intense and sudden passions have a very brief existence in the lower astral, although they can manifest on the physical plane with greater intensity and insistence. Instead, it is the long, cautious obsessions simmered over decades that manage to survive most effectively.

The latter are known as lower astral parasites.

These creatures have an extremely limited degree of consciousness. They wander through the lower astral with a fixed, immovable impulse: to satisfy and repeat the desire and obsession that gave them shape.

To do this, the parasites of the lower astral must adhere to a physical vehicle that allows them to access the pleasures or impulses that forged them. They are known as astral parasites because they adhere to a host and use it as a tool to link with the physical plane.

The parasites of the lower astral lack emotions, they are not really evil or intelligent, although they can be extremely harmful.

Just as the physical body has an immune system that protects it, the astral body rejects, in most cases, the attack of parasites from the lower astral. However, if the subject feeds the same passions, the same desires, and mainly the same basic impulses as these creatures, it is likely that the parasite will manage to adhere to it by vibrating at the same energetic level, at least for a time.

Most ghost stories, but mainly the legends of ghosts, ghosts and spirits, are related to lower astral parasites.

In general, these stories draw a direct link between the ghost and the protagonist, clearly an allusion to the fact that the astral parasites of recently deceased people are attracted to their family and friends, who, in many cases, have a deficient immune system. astral, precisely because of the sadness produced by the death.

Occultist Dion Fortune—author of: Cosmic Doctrine, The Esoteric Philosophy of Love and Marriage, Esoteric Orders and Their Work, Applied Magic, The mystical Kabbalah (The Mystical Qabalah) – maintains in his book Psychic Self Defense that parasites of the lower astral can even enter the body of a human embryo and from there forge a personality lacking morals and ethics, a moved creature solely for basic passions.

At the end of the 19th century the larvae of the lower astral acquired new impulses when theosophists compared them with certain Hindu spirits. The main operators of this change of paradigms on the astral plane were HP Blavatsky – The People of the Blue Mountains or the Book of Giants, Isis Unveiled, The Key to Theosophy, The Secret Doctrine, The Stanzas of Dzyan, Annie Besant – The Ancient Wisdom, Occult Chemistry – and Eliphas Levi – Dogma and Ritual of High Magic (Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie), The great arcane of occultism revealed (Le Grand Arcane, ou l’Occultisme Dévoilé), The book of splendors (Le livre des splendeurs), The book of the wise (Le Livre des sages ), History of magic (Histoire de la magie), The science of spirits (La Science des Esprits)—.

But in the medieval imagination, very far from the revolutions of the Eastern mind, the larvae of the astral plane were naturally associated with the dead.

Medieval tradition held that the spirit dissolved slowly, evaporating like a cloud of incense ascending towards the celestial regions. But if the man had lived in crime, his spirit refused to abandon the corpse and sought the objects of his passions, wanting to prolong his existence.

These creatures of the lower astral torment the dreams of their relatives, they wander through profane territories bathing in the vapors of the blood spread by black magicians, then crawling, drunk with impulses, through the places where they enjoyed the pleasures of life.

The necromancer knew all this and took advantage of it to his advantage. He was amused by the sight of a specter that was wasting away trying to create organs to live.

But the larvae of the lower astral have a very limited existence. Very soon nature sucks them into disintegration, absorbs them into the void. The old vices manifest themselves before the ghost, they pursue it, adopting monstrous figures, attacking it, slowly devouring it.

Creatures from the astral plane were also known to the Etruscans and Romans. They considered them as evil spirits, ghosts of the dead who had not found rest in the grave and who had to travel the world again at night to atone for their crimes.

One of the most common habits of astral parasites is to attach themselves to certain men of bucolic temperament, whom they drag towards crime and madness. They were also known as Lemures.

Since the time of Romulus, certain festivals called Lemurias were offered to them on May 11, 12, and 13, during which no weddings were celebrated and the temples of the other deities were closed.

During these nocturnal celebrations, drums were played, with the belief that the larvae and worms of the lower astral were afraid of noise. Certain seeds were also burned in the cemeteries, whose stench drove them away, while litanies and incantations were pronounced that history has tried to forget.
