@ReadingFaithfully_org It would be wonderful to live in close proximity to such a helpful #spirit. I'm curious: Do you know of any canonical references to anyone summoning or otherwise asking for the help of such #devatā on purpose? Or maybe guidelines for what to do so that #spirits willingly come to provide assistance or #protection? I know there's at least one #Pali #chant for inviting #devas to listen to the #chanting that follows, but I wonder if there's anything else like that.

However, similar intermediary beings can also be found in other cultures and religions, such as #devas, #nāgas and #bodhisattvas in #Buddhism and #Hinduism, reflecting shared human quest for connection with the transcendent. This post briefly explores their cross-cultural roles and connections:
