109 – What Exactly Are Binds?

Binds

I’ve been asked to write an entry on Binds. As they seem to be used a lot, but so many are unaware of them, I thought it was a good idea to do so.

What are Binds?

A Bind is a tool, generally used on the astral level, to control and enslave others. They are, as a rule, used on the Soul body as opposed to the physical one.

You may be thinking that sounds like a thing of fantasy. How can such things exist? Can they be real and if so, what type of Being would use them and on who?

Which are all good questions.

Let’s start off by looking at what a Bind is.

Materials

A Bind is made up of a vibrational substance that resonates with the Being that is intended to be bound.

The material depends on who and what you are trying to bind. For instance, some binds are made from Void energy.  I’ve also seen gossamer threads, that come from astral spiders, used to create them.

Astral spiders tend to reside on the Astral Levels. Yes, they do exist and this is not the entry to go into them, but it’s enough to know they can create the equivalent of webbing in the Astral.

This webbing is also said to be one of the materials that The Fates use to weave the Lines of Fate.

There are other materials, but those are the main two I’m aware of.

When active, they tend to glow, or at least the ones I’ve seen do.

6 – Binds and Counter-Binds

Onwership

I found myself in a position that I never would have imagined.   I suddenly had ownership and responsibility for a demon.  Not a true demon, mind you, but still as demonic as one might find.

It wasn’t what I wanted.  However, at that point, I didn’t feel like there were any choices.  Something needed to be done by someone, and I was it.

One might think the temptation to take command over a highly useful, weaponized demon, and use it for my own ends, would be tempting and even consuming. After all, one of Omen’s primary purposes was being an Assassin.

Binds

But I had absolutely no interest in doing anything with him.  Even though I was given the binds, I never touched them. 

I found that if needed, I could just command them remotely. The only time I used them was to make the binds, themselves, bigger.  Omen had grown since they were put on him, and they were constricting him.

As to how I controlled the binds, I wasn’t sure.  I set the intention, and that seemed to do the job.

As previously stated, my plan was to give Omen his freedom.  To give him the chance to grow and pursue his own path. I also had to ensure that Omen didn’t get drunk on his newly found freedom and consume every Soul that he possibly could.

According to information I discovered much later, Omen didn’t need to consume souls for himself to survive. He was doing it on behalf of another, more dangerous being, that he had been connected to.

I did not know that at the time, but I took steps to ensure that a balance was kept.

Why Let Him Live?
