Immortal vampires, toxic soul ties, and how to read an aura
In a recent episode of the HORRORble Podcast, host Charlotte "Lahil" Lux — a ceremonial magician and reader from Queens, New York, now based in Florida — shared insights drawn from years of working with spiritual attachments, aura reading, and energy work. What follows is a structured guide to the most consequential ideas she discussed, organized for practical understanding rather than casual reading.
Soul loss: when the body becomes a vessel
The conversation opened with one of the most unsettling concepts discussed on the show: soul loss. According to Lux, there are people walking around whose consciousness occupies only a fraction of their body — roughly ten percent, she estimates. Their full human soul is not present in the vessel they inhabit.
"It's like your soul is residing on like this very very tight corner of your body. They can't access their full consciousness. So something else kind of takes over them."
The phenomenon was compared to the horror film Get Out, where a character's body is occupied by another consciousness. In Lux's framework, soul loss isn't always malicious possession — it can be a gradual displacement where the person's authentic energy recedes and something else fills the void. This is detectable through aura reading: Lux described being able to see these diminished auras on people in her environment.
A life lived between worlds
Charlotte, who goes by Lahil Lux, began experiencing abilities far before she had the language to describe them. At around age six, she started seeing "aerial spiders" that would chip away at paint — her first conscious awareness of having something different from other children. Around the same time, she had recollections of being ready to incarnate into Earth, including memories of waiting with angels before each lifetime.
Perhaps most strikingly, Lux described her first words as a baby being in Hebrew — and the first things she wrote were also in Hebrew script. No one in her family speaks Hebrew; nobody is Jewish. To her, it simply felt like a familiar language. She would instinctively call her grandmother "Emma," a detail that pointed toward a past-life connection.
"To me, it was like my familiar language, especially because everybody around me just spoke English or Spanish."
Lux identified having had a past life in Atlantis and credited her Catholic upbringing as the gateway into her spiritual practice. Feeling the presence of saints, angels, and Jesus during prayer is what led her to begin mediumship work — detecting spiritual attachments on people that could persist across multiple lifetimes.
Spiritual attachments that cross lifetimes
For six years, Lux worked one-on-one with clients who had curses, hexes, and hauntings on their souls. Some of these attachments were so deeply rooted that they followed people across reincarnation:
"Some of them had been haunted on their soul. So every life they would reincarnate into, they would have the same attachments or curses."
She stopped this work earlier this year, not because she lacked skill, but because it was energetically consuming:
"It's very intimate and it kind of just took so much out of me... I'm not going to keep taking on a role that I don't feel like I'd be 100% efficient in."
Immortal vampires: astral predators from ancient ritual
One of the most chilling segments covered immortal vampires — not the blood-drinking monsters of fiction, but a metaphysical classification of astral predators. These are souls that refused to move on after death, becoming trapped between worlds.
"An immortal vampire is somebody that has lived a life where they either felt as though they have not completed their mission in this lifetime. So they need to skip over the second death and basically become immortal."
These entities do not exist as physical beings. Instead, they remain in the earthly realm as a "very light faint mist" — but they can actively attack people and engage in what Lux called "astral stalking." They are, in effect, astral predators.
The origins of these vampires trace back to ancient rituals performed in Egypt and Samaria. Importantly, Lux clarified that these early practices weren't originally evil:
"The intention wasn't evil. It was so that they could fulfill a mission... most of the time bring the consciousness off of the world."
However, immortality has become an obsession for many occultists who pursue it for self-serving reasons rather than spiritual elevation. The path involves working with various energies without proper sanctification — essentially getting stuck between worlds, unable to move on but no longer fully alive.
Toxic soul ties: invisible cords that drain you
Perhaps the most universally relatable topic was soul ties — energetic connections between people that can persist long after a relationship ends. These are not metaphorical; they have measurable effects on your energy field.
"A soul tie is when you have an exchange of emotional energy with somebody that is profound to the point where they're able to access your energetic field and they put psychic cords in you."
How soul ties form
Soul ties can form through several mechanisms:
- Physical intimacy — the most common origin
- Past-life connections — thinking about someone from a previous incarnation creates an energetic bridge
- Persistent energy exchange — giving thoughts and emotional energy to another person over time builds a tether
The difference between cords and soul ties
Lux distinguished between ordinary energetic cords (which everyone has with coworkers, acquaintances, etc.) and soul ties:
"You have cords with people at work... you could just pull them out. They're harmless... but soul ties are much stronger. It's difficult — sometimes takes years to get rid of soul ties."
When soul ties become toxic
Not all soul ties are negative. When both energies are complementary and positive, a soul tie can be mutually nourishing:
"If both energies are good and they complement each other, then that's great — you can recharge somebody."
But toxic soul ties create a one-sided drain. This is the scenario most people recognize without knowing what it is:
"Sometimes people are just being siphoned... their energy is being siphoned out of them because they had a bad relationship with somebody and there's a soul tie and they don't know how to get rid of it, and they're just constantly an energetic source to that person even though they're not together, they haven't seen each other in years."
The insidious quality of toxic soul ties is that the drained person often feels exhausted, anxious, or perpetually drained without understanding why — because the connection persists energetically even when the relationship ended physically.
Aura reading: what it reveals
Throughout the episode, Lux demonstrated her ability to read auras in real time. She described seeing diminished auras on people whose souls were partially absent (soul loss) and detected energetic patterns that revealed information about others' histories and conditions. When she told the host she could see their aura, the host responded:
"It's crazy you said that. You just gave me permission to see everything."
This exchange highlights something important about aura reading: it is not merely passive observation. The act of being read can unlock the reader's own ability to perceive energy they had previously been unable to see — suggesting that aura perception may be a latent capacity in most people, activated by trust and intention rather than exclusive training.
Key takeaways
- Soul loss is real — Some people walk through the world with only a fraction of their consciousness present, making them vulnerable to external influence.
- Past-life connections are tangible — Lux's experiences with aerial spiders, Hebrew words as a child, and recollections of Atlantis are consistent with patterns documented in past-life research across cultures.
- Immortal vampires exist as astral entities — Not blood-drinking monsters, but souls that refused to move on after death, becoming astral predators through ancient ritual practices.
- Soul ties have real energetic consequences — Whether positive or toxic, these bonds can affect your energy for years. Understanding them is the first step toward managing or severing unhealthy connections.
- Aura perception may be latent in everyone — Being read by someone skilled can unlock your own ability to see energy you couldn't perceive before.
- Spiritual work takes a toll — Even experienced practitioners recognize when to step back from helping others to preserve their own well-being.
Beyond silence — where sound begins
The concepts discussed in this episode — soul loss, astral entities, energetic cords — all point to the same underlying principle: consciousness extends beyond what we perceive with our five senses. If you want to explore how sound can help you navigate these invisible dimensions, the Binaural Studio offers frequency-based tools for deepening your awareness. The Theta preset is particularly useful for meditation work that explores subtle states of consciousness.
For those interested in building a structured practice around presence and awareness, our free 7-Day Silence Guide provides a practical starting point that pairs naturally with both aura development and energy work.
Safety and responsible use
Binaural beats are not a medical device. Do not use them while driving or operating machinery. If you have a history of epilepsy or photosensitive conditions, consult a medical professional before using any sound-entrainment tool. Stop listening if you feel anxious, unsettled, or uncomfortable — there is no benefit to pushing through distress. The metaphysical concepts discussed in this article come from an interview and represent one person's perspective; think of them as material for your own exploration, not doctrine.
