Yes, it is probably these specific agenda(s?) I'm wondering about. I agree that they may have the full range of motives but I can't quite work out how some of them apply, except for the ancestor business.

Power then. Is it really so important to a spirit? Maybe. Is interaction with the mundane world going to help them achieve whatever it is they need to do in their own world, as is the case in reverse?

Yes thanks. There's something I'm trying to work out here, not quite sure what. Bottom line, I think, is...is a spirit gonig to come up to someone and say, please could you put me in your medicine bundle?

I guess the answer is yes, possibly.
