I want a necromancer's opinion on a recent shamanic journey. As I nearly always practice from the shamanic perspective, this may color what I'm writing.
I entered the spirit world and found my guide as usual. After a short time I saw a shore with black water. I was approached by a entity that was somewhat skeletal and appeared dead in general. His eyes were huge, and he seemed afraid. I began a banishing and found that he moved back without quickly/easily. I stopped the banishing and just looked at him for a moment. I wondered what sort of entity he was, I was not sure. He then retreated slowly into water. This was also after a lengthy foot to crown chakra meditation.
My general question here is this. While in the astral, how am I to know if an enetity is the shade of a dead person, or just a wondering, perhaps dangerous spirit/demon? I had the feeling he may have been a shade, but I couldn't be certain, so I didn't want to do anything. Should I go with my gut in this kind of situation? I did not feel threatened by him in general, but I certainly want to be careful.
