What is a tulpa?
A tulpa could be described as an imaginary friend that has its own thoughts and emotions, and that you can interact with. You could think of them as hallucinations that can think and act on their own.
If you want a brief explanation about tulpamancy in general, please take a look at our FAQ and our Glossary!
How do I make a tulpa?
If you wish to make your own tulpa, please take a look at our guides section!
