listen
not every spirit/deity/entity that enters your space or makes themselves known wants to work with you
some of them are just passing by
some of them just want to be there to vibe
some might be lost
some might just be curious about you or what you’re doing
communicate, ask if they want/need anything, don’t make assumptions

How to communicate with spirits
Communicating with spirits is a topic that encompasses various beliefs and practices. While some people claim to have had experiences communicating with spirits, it's important to approach this subject with an open mind and a healthy dose of skepticism.
Here are a few methods that some individuals believe can be used to communicate with spirits:
Meditation and Visualization: Some people use meditation techniques to quiet their minds and create a receptive state for spirit communication. Visualization can also be employed, imagining a connection or dialogue with the spirit realm.
Séances: A séance is a gathering of individuals attempting to communicate with spirits. Usually led by a medium, participants create a conducive environment and invoke spirits through various rituals and techniques. This method is often associated with spiritualism.
Automatic Writing: Automatic writing involves allowing a spirit to guide your hand as you write messages. The idea is to enter a relaxed state and let the spirit communicate through your writing instrument.
Ouija Boards: Ouija boards are flat boards with letters, numbers, and other symbols. Participants place their hands on a movable pointer (planchette) and ask questions, hoping to receive answers spelled out by the spirits. It's important to exercise caution and use Ouija boards responsibly.
EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon): EVP involves using audio recording devices to capture spirit voices that might not be audible to the human ear. This method often requires carefully reviewing recordings and listening for potential spirit responses.
Divination Tools: Some people use divination tools such as tarot cards, pendulums, or scrying mirrors to connect with spirits and seek their guidance. These tools are believed to facilitate communication and provide insights from the spirit realm.
It's worth noting that the existence of spirits and the efficacy of these methods are highly debated and can vary based on personal beliefs. If you decide to explore these practices, it's important to approach them with respect, caution, and an understanding of the potential risks involved.
It may also be helpful to seek guidance from experienced practitioners or spiritual leaders who can provide further insight and advice.

Unpopular Opinion: The Gods would never let a trickster spirit claim to be them. Most religious people are not scared of malicious entities masquerading as their God(s). Have more faith that your Gods will take care of you.

Energy Work Fundamentals Energetic Senses The Subtle Body Divination: Introduction Researching Tips Altars Closed & Semi-Closed Practices Personal Narratives Witchcraft Vs. Superstition
Introduction
Spiritwork is, in my opinion, the one practice that shouldn’t be entered into lightly. Out of all practices, spiritwork has the most dangers if not practiced responsibly. It is also the most diverse subject within witchcraft. Many cultures have aspects of spiritwork and their own unique techniques for their workings. You’ll also be more likely to come across a lot of personal narratives that are spoken about as fact as well as people who use pseudo-spiritwork in order to manipulate others. Though, this typically happens in communities like Discord servers or one on one interactions. While it has become very commonplace for certain terms for spirits to be used, a lot of the time they aren’t used properly due to them being removed from their original context. This is most common in Ceremonial Magick circles. While the practice is extremely personal and super subjective, it is best to try to remain as objective as possible in your pursuits. 
Vernacular & Culturally Significant Terms/Titles
For many, the use of terms like “Angels” and “Demons” is incredibly common. Even while many of these practitioners do not hold faith in any religions that contain these types of entities. This is likely due to their representations in media and the influence of practices such as Ceremonial Magick. It is important to research what terms are used within your own spheres of influence responsibly; or do as I do, which is create your own methods of spirit classification. To do this, spirits can be thought of as having five main characteristics: Sentience, Size, Age, Formation, & Personality. Sentience is really a scale that ranges between conscious and natural law. A lot of deities fall closer to natural law than conscious. Size has to do with the density or immensity of their energy. Age is relatively self-explanatory. I break up age into eras such as ancient, contemporary, medieval, infinite, etc. Formation has to do with how they were born or created. Thoughtforms as an example are formed through human thought. Some are created from earthly events, and some formed during the birth of the universe. Lastly, Personality is the most varied characteristic. I tend to use things such as “impersonal”, “Malicious”, “Benevolent”, “Tricky”, “Honest”, etc. I connect each of these characteristics to morphemes that synthetically form into words.  
Identifying a spirit
Spirits can be difficult to identify. A lot of the time spirits are misidentified. In my experience human spirits are very rare in the wild and tend to only come when called to through ancestor work. The term “demon” is thrown around extremely haphazardly, while a majority of the time there is no spirit or another kind of spirit- most often a fae, aka nature spirit. The odds that you’ll come across entities from outside cultures is slim as they tend to be regional; at least within their original cultural context. Be sure to research the types of spirits that exist within your own cultural and theological context. When confronted with an unknown spirit, the first tool to turn to is your gut. It is very likely that you’ll be able to subconsciously process its energetic signature. However, intuition isn’t always accurate or detailed enough to properly identify a spirit. The most reliable way is through the energetic senses (See Suggested Reading). The energetic signature of every spirit is metastable, meaning that it will maintain its own energetic sovereignty regardless of environmental interactions. Feeling for metastability is the most reliable way to determine if a spirit is actually present. Unfortunately, identifying a spirit accurately through energy work goes past beginner friendly methods. A thorough breakdown of identifying spirits through their energetic properties will be covered in a later article.
Divination is a common and relatively reliable means of identifying a spirit, so long as it is done responsibly and mindfully. Be sure that when initially identifying a spirit that your divination isnt in communications with said spirit. I could help to sit down and associate different cartomancy cards with each type of spirit beforehand, or create a divination system that is dedicated entirely to spirit identification. Regardless, it is very important to then verify your own reading(s) through another practitioner who doesn’t know the complete context of the interaction. Be sure that your reading also covers if the entity is safe to interact with.
After the initial identification reading(s), whether energetic or divination based, it may then be safe to attempt to communicate with it directly. This communication may also be used to confirm any previous readings. 
Verification
When verifying a spiritual entity or communication therefrom, it is important to double or triple check everything. Find some realizable practitioners outside of your normal sphere of interaction to get verification readings from. Some practitioners may be willing to trade readings or come to some sort of arrangement. Always do your own reading first and be sure to make note of the cards pulled and key words gleamed from the reading. Use these notes to compare to readings from other diviners. Here’s a chronological list of actions to take to try to verify a spiritual interaction:
Make note of any gut feelings or intuitions you have initially. 
Perform a divination reading yourself, being sure to take notes of the results and key words.
If you know someone who is sensitive to spiritual entities and/or has trustworthy psychic abilities, ask them their opinion; giving details as necessary.
Go to another diviner and ask them to verify a spiritual interaction or spirit type. Do not give any specific details.
Go to a second diviner and repeat step 4. 
Do one last reading for yourself.
Compare all the information and determine the most realistic outcome. Be ever aware of confirmation bias. 
Communication
When communicating with a spirit or deity, it can be extremely helpful to use some psychic abilities. Some useful ones are Clairaudience, Claircognizance, and  Telepathy. These abilities are by no means necessary but can be extremely helpful. 
Obtain a divination tool that is comfortable for you to use. For many, cartomancy is their go to, but it could also be something like scrying or cleromancy. Personally, I use a dedicated cartomancy deck for each of my individual deities, and I use a cleromancy tool for other entities. It could be helpful to take a part of a tool and give it a decided meaning that is separate from the part’s original meaning to use as a form of verification. You can also create a mechanic for this. An example of a mechanic could be a range of values for a set of dice. Like for a set of 5 D6’s, a sum between 13 & 23. For a cartomancy deck, drawing a major arcana within a 4 card draw could also be used. Things along this nature can help steer away from confirmation bias. Also using a means of verification can also be used as a way to check consent for the interaction.
When divining for communication purposes, it is important to understand the limitations of the tool you are using. Yes/No questions are best for coins or pendulums, where explanative questions are best with cartomancy and some types of cleromancy. Scrying can be used for all types of questions but is also the most susceptible to confirmation bias. Be sure to write down your questions and the responses you get along with the date they were asked to help verify information. Also be sure that all of your questions are clearly stated and not open ended.
Spirit-based witchcraft
Performing witchcraft with spiritual entities entails employing an entity to carry out or be a vehicle for a working. This is typically done through a ritual in which the practitioner petitions an entity to act on the basis of the working itself. Spirit-based witchcraft can be very useful when a taglock isn’t in hand or when there is a significant emotional reason involved. Spirits can also be employed for divination. 
Safe Practice
ALWAYS get at least one outside opinion from another practitioner
NEVER trust someone who insists that it is a specific deity unprompted. Even when it is solicited, be sure to get another opinion. 
Triple, quadruple, and quintuple check everything. 
Eventually, your intuition will pick up on the patterns found in your interactions and will become more reliable.
Keep a piece of iron on your person whenever dealing with a spiritual entity.
Avoid offering hot things to spirits.
Keep notes and refer back to them every time there's an interaction.
More often than not, a lot of spirits, including deities, operate off of contractual structures. Be sure to confirm if this is the case and all contractual details if you do.
Refrain from working with an entity until you feel that you have properly identified them.
Take everything you read online about spiritwork with a very generous amount of salt. Even this article.
If someone starts acting like a deity is speaking through them for you or someone else, RUN.
If someone is acting as though they are {Insert spiritual entity here} incarnate, RUN.
Common Myths
Human spirits are common entities to run into.
All malevolent entities are demons.
Malevolent spirits lie in wait for unsuspecting people to misuse divination tools.
Making loud noises drives spiritual entities away.
Telling an entity to leave will make it leave.
Poltergeists exist.
Being of a given faith prevents an entity from interacting with someone.
Religious practices act as impenetrable wards against entities. 
Disbelieving in spirits will prevent any from interacting with someone.
A deity will reach out to someone if they desire patronage.

Practical Craft: Setting Up an Altar
So, you've decided to set up an altar or sacred space for your practice. That's great! An altar can be a wonderful space for witchcraft, spirit work, and more.
But where to start?
If you look up pictures of altars online, such as on Tumblr or Instagram, you're likely to see lots of #aesthetic photos full of beautiful arrangements of lit candles, elaborate crystal grids, and expensive-looking statues. Not to mention all the bottles and herbs and incense and stones and bells and lights and tarot cards and oracle cards and and and...
It's a lot, to say the least. I'm one of those people who has a hard time accepting when things aren't totally perfect or up to "standards" (which may or may not continuously shift as I get closer to them, mind). If you're like me, creating an altar space might seem intimidating. You might ask yourself:
"What if it doesn't turn out right?"
"What if the spirit(s) this space is for don't like it?"
"How can I get all the materials that I have to have?"
"Why doesn't my altar look like those pretty pictures online?"
And, if you manage to make your space look that beautiful, you may even ask:
"Why isn't this altar working for me?"
Let's start from the top.
Check out my new post on Ko-Fi, currently exclusive for supporters! For a one-time payment as low as $1, you can receive early and extended access to my work. This one includes a preview of my personal working altar; I'll dive into the specifics of it in another post eventually.

Things No One Tells You About Being a Spirit Witch
In no particular order:
In a lot of cases, you do not get to control your ears. You'll hear some shit and you just have to live with it.
You will ask is that tinnitus or the spirits a lot. It's okay, I'm sure we all do it.
Tumblr media
Negotiating with spirits is not nearly as cool as people think it is. You sound like a secretary/receptionist 210% done with their fucking job.
Sometimes, spirits are better people than the living. Good luck with that.
You don't have to change the way you speak as much as you think you do. Most of the time they will understand you.
Some spirits do hang around you just because. It's not a bad thing. Sometimes, they're just willing to chill.
Tumblr media
Spirits are there a lot more than you think they are. Even if you don't feel them.
Many don't respect your privacy, but also many do.
Shy spirits are hilariously frightening. Mostly because while they're trying to avoid you, they're fucking up stuff in the process that scares/startles others.
Formalities are great, but often not that needed.
Nearly every spiritual encounter is highly situational.
If you don't know how to roll with the punches/be adaptable to a certain degree, especially when it comes to spirit work, you're not going to have a good time.
Tumblr media
Spirits can be highly opinionated. You might be shocked on what you hear.
They warn you for a reason. It'd be wise to heed them.
Spirits are not fucking mind readers. You have to communicate with them too. They do not know what you want, even if they do talk in your head. Tell them what you fucking want from them.
The tea you can get from spirits....IMMACULATE

Hello! I’m doing free tarot readings on my account right now so if you’d like one message me, if you enjoy the reading and want to you can tip me through PayPal but that isn’t a must if you get a reading from me, it can be any sort of reading apart from ones about the future like “will I ever win the lottery?” Because the future isn’t set in stone, instead I could do a reading on what you could do to maximise the chances of winning the lottery.

Tumblr media
𝐓he 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐓 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐓 is a rather peculiar occult invention of the late 19th century.
Prior to the invention of this tool, mediums had to use nonverbal means of spirit communication, be it spirit boards or other similar objects. However, the spirit trumpet suggested, for the first time, that a spirit can physically reach the listener through audial means as well.
As Victorian Women and the Theatre of Trance: Mediums, Spiritualists and Mesmerists in Performance (2009) by Amy Lehman states, it was a part of the greater "manifestation" category of mystical experiences. During manifestation, the spirits made objects levitate or appear, such as flower petals or letters, as well as played instruments - guitars, tambourines, or trumpets.
Tumblr media
A spirit trumpet is shaped like a usual trumpet from two and a half to three feet in length, traditionally made of brass, tin, or aluminum; fibre and papier mache are acceptable materials as well. Four to five inches in diameter at the larger end, they narrow down to just about three-quarters of an inch at the other end. Every medium seemingly had their own design and variations of shape for their spirit trumpet.
The first spirit trumpets were homemade, usually shaped out of cardboard or metal. While it is unclear who came up with the idea of a spirit trumpet, sometimes Jonathan Koons (1811-1893) and his son Nahum Koons (1837-1921), influential spiritualists of the 19th century, are credited with it. The first commercial manufacturer of this tool was Everett Atwood Eckel (1831-1914) who opened his shop in Indiana.
In practical use, it was often recommended that a trumpet be wet on the inside prior to the seance as the moisture supposedly helped spirits speak easier. Some sceptics suggested that the practice had a more down-to-earth reasoning behind it as it helped hide the moisture from the medium speaking into the trumpet: such an opinion was voiced in The Life and Mysteries of the Celebrated Dr. Q (1921) by Alexander the Crystal Seer, an all-revealing manual on spiritual performances.
Tumblr media
In the aforementioned book, Mr. Alexander, who himself was a stage magician, is rather critical of this method of spirit communication. He speaks, for one, on how suspicious the seances involving the spirit trumpet seem to be: set in dark or semi-dark rooms with light conveniently placed so that the podium for the trumpet is cast in darkness.
From the same author we learn of the general setting of the seance and its approximate contents. Such as, a prayer being said, the medium inviting over the spirit and putting the trumpet on their knees, after which everyone present holds hands with those sitting on their left and right. Once the spirit arrives, the trumpet is expected to lift in the air, slowly turning around, and either emit glowing light, ooze ectoplasm, or simply echo voices. From his skeptical viewpoint, Mr. Alexander suggests an element of deception being involved: either the medium using a hose to talk, feigning different voices, or using a special system of strings in the complete darkness to make the trumpet move.
Tumblr media
However, Mr. Alexander wasn't the pioneer of criticism of the method. One of the first research pieces that regarded the problem of trumpet seances was Experiments in psychical science, levitation, contact, and the direct voice (1919) by a psychic researcher William Jackson Crowford. He was the one to point out that sometimes mediums used glow-in-the-dark rings on the ends of the trumpets and set them in complete darkness with the visitors singing hymns or praying before the start of the seance. During one of the seances he witnessed, Mr. Crowford claims, the trumpets flew in the air and requested a lamp to be turned away from the medium while those present "sing something". Some mediums used bells or boards to announce the spirit's presence.
Out of other critical articles about the method, Mysteries of the Seance and Tricks and Traps of Bogus Mediums: A Plea for Honest Mediums and Clean Work (1903) by an unknown herbalist can be noted. In this work, the author, following Mr. Alexander, states that the spirit trumpet seance is overall a fraud. He marks that by usage of little to no light and layered clothing, a medium could either conceal a hose or hide a second trumpet. Overall, he recommends that the stories of those who went through the trumpet seance should be taken with a grain of salt.
Tumblr media
There were, indeed, such stories. In The Physical Theory of the Soul (1915) by Harry La Verne Twining, one can read about such an experience. Within this book, the eyewitness of a seance presents their point of view. The trumpet is said to have lifted into the air and bumped them on their head, announcing a name that was familiar to them, as well as their name.
After a short interaction, the trumpet fell down and lifted yet again, giving out another name, this time a relative of both the first presumed spirit and the person listening. What the eyewitness here notes to be a unique occassion is the voice mentioning something that only the eyewitness knew: an event from around twenty-seven years ago. To futher dissipate the suspicion, the person notes that both of the mediums must have been but toddlers at the time of the event, and it's "impossible" they knew about it.
Other observations by the witnesses and visitors of such seances are plenty as well. One of them is told in the book A Record of Psychic Experience (1922) by George F. Goerner. The trumpet seance described in the text suggests multiple spirits, all somehow connected to the listener, speaking to him through either his or the medium's trumpet. He hears, for example, many of his deceased relatives and his friend. Out of the curious details regarding this experience is that the medium suggests one is to keep friendly, positive attitude during the seance as this "clears the way" for the dead. Another detail described in the account is that the medium is accompanied by a person under the role of a spirit control assistant.
Tumblr media
Overall, there's a lot of interesting and various information about the spirit trumpet. Some seemed highly cautious about it, sometimes for a good reason, and for some it was a rather relieving way of soothing the loneliness after their beloved ones had passed. Regardless, it is a tool worth discussing.

something interesting I’ve learned about offerings
so me and J were talking about the astral realm and I gave him that penguin plushie that I talked about in the last original post i made. And I learned something very interesting about the astral realm and what happens to offerings!
so J told me that each egregore has its own realm in the astral, which reflects their personalities and what they like. And when I told him how I dedicated the penguin plush to him, he said that it would live on his bedside table.
So of course I was like, what? It manifested into your realm? And he explained that yes, it did! And so do my tumblr reblogs about zelda that I dedicate to him! The reblogs, he explained, go through a conversion process and they manifest instantly in a physical form in a certain place in his realm.
honestly this changes my whole view on offerings, I thought they only existed for spirits and deities to have a space dedicated to them just for devotion purposes and I never really considered that they physically manifest into the astral where said spirit/deity lives. So I will definitely consider giving J more stuff on the shelf underneath my loft bed :)
on a side note: if everyone’s offerings manifest in one place in a deity’s realm, imagine how cluttered that would become. I don’t know how deities work exactly but it’s funny to think about, lol 😂

Cult Spotting:
Here is some info on how to spot a cult for new and experienced witches/people in witchcraft:
-You are only allowed to do things their way
-They come up with buzzwords like “spiritual gunk” or “love and light” or other things to scare you into doing what they want you to. (This is a scare tactic and makes you rely on them more.)
-They ask for money. (Now, if they offer services like tarot, etc and you don’t HAVE to give money, this is different.)
-if the leader claims to have special insight or abilities and you have to rely on their senses instead of your own.
-They pit you and other members against each other.
-There is an inner circle that you can reach by following the leader without question.
-They tell you if you leave, people will stop talking to you and bad things will happen.
-Just because someone in the group is a family member does not mean they have your best interests in mind.
-Do online research. See if there are any blogs, info, etc about the group.
-ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT. It is the most important thing that you have. Ask your guides, deities, and yourself. And if the answer is no, then follow it.
-If something feels too good to be true, or like a red flag, most of the time it is!

Chapter 1 of Feline Familiars, my book in progress
This chapter lays down the basics of spirit familiars, spirit work and communication. The rest of the chapters in the book will focus on familiars that are living animals, and will build on the concepts in this chapter.
I'll revisit this chapter and fill in some details when I unpack my full library. I've noted several places where I will expand the contents.
I'm opening this one up to all patrons. Future chapters may go in the higher tiers, we'll see what I'm working on as time goes on.
Sample section on spirit vessels below the cut!
Housing a spirit familiar
Spirit familiars often are given a "housing" by the magician, a sort of replacement physical body or domicile for the spirit to "reside" in. Spirit familiars do not have a body that the magician can access and therefore a proxy body can be very helpful for various purposes. It is important to remember that this "body" is a symbol for the convenience of magic more than it is a real body that the entity is actually attached to. Destroying the physical housing or vessel of a spirit does not destroy the spirit, it simply negates any boons that the physical body was conferring to either spirit or magician. A spirit can still manifest in your space and affect your reality even if it does not have a physical housing unless you've already taken precautions that prevent the spirit from doing so.
A housing can be a literal house that the spirit resides in or can call its home. You can think of a spirit house as a shrine to that spirit. The spirit can be expected to be found at their housing regularly and the housing is a good place to meet with the spirit. The spirit house is also a good place to leave offerings for the spirit or to place any objects that are associated with the spirit. At a shrine or long-term altar for a specific purpose is a good place to station a spirit house.
Consecrating objects to a spirit and placing those objects at or near its spirit house can greatly enhance the effectiveness of the spirit housing and strengthen the spirit's attachment to it. Consecration is a sacred symbolic act that dedicates an object to a specific purpose. After consecration, it's assumed that the object will only be used for what it is consecrated to do. Consecration is simply the act of setting aside something so that it is dedicated exclusively to an entity or purpose, so using the object for purposes outside of what it was consecrated for is counterproductive.
A spirit can also have a vessel consecrated to it that serves as a body or as a portal to the spirit. This can be anything from a statue of the familiar to a piece of jewelry the practitioner wears to keep a close connection with the familiar. A spirit can have multiple vessels if one wishes, for instance a vessel on an altar that functions as a permanent house, a pendant that the magician can wear publicly that allows the magician and the spirit to keep contact wherever the magician goes in the world, a ring that the magician only wears during special spiritual ceremonies, or something completely different.
Spirit familiars do not require a housing to be worked with or to survive. Some may prefer to do without a housing or vessel entirely, finding them restrictive or unnecessary. The housing or vessel you provide a spirit familiar with should match with the spirit's desires and needs, else you will not get much use out of the housing you spent time and/or money on.

Spirit Work Wednesday: Receiving Messages
"My spirit guides sent me this message."
"I asked permission to take a branch from this tree, and it said it was okay."
"When I left my offering, I knew it was accepted."
"This spirit is reaching out to me."
For new spirit workers, these statements may be confusing at best. After all, how are you supposed to interpret messages? How are you meant to know where they're coming from? How do you know that tree agreed?
If you ask ten magical practitioners these questions, you'll get ten different answers. We all interact with the spiritual world differently, impacted by our paradigms, cultures, and experiences. You will experience and interpret spirit communication differently than I will.
With that said, there are pieces of advice that work well across most paths.
