🕊 How to connect with your Spirit Guides 🕊

We all have our own spirit guides. They are always trying to guide us on the right path and protect us from harm, so connecting with them is truly beneficial.

✨ Approach them

The first obvious step is to approach them. I can give you some examples of ways you could do this, but in the end, the best thing you can do is listen to your own intuition. That applies to anything, really.

✧ Meditation - Meditation is probably the most common way of approaching your guides. I personally recommend listening to guided meditations, specifically for meeting your spirit guides, if you are a complete beginner.

But guided meditations often involve visualising, so if you are not comfortable with that, don’t stress it and meditate on your own.

You don’t need to be good at visualising to meet your spirit guides. It is not about being able to see them, but to be able to sense their presence.

✧ Tarot & Divination - If you know how to read tarot, you can definitely do what I would call an ‘interview’ with your Spirit Guide. Invite your guides in and start asking questions to get to know them. This applies to any other form of divination you practice.

✨ Build a relationship

By building a relationship, I mostly mean learning how to recognise their presence.

✧ Be consistent - Consistency is a key to speeding up this process. Regularly talk to your guides and include it in your routine.

✧ Trust & Listen - When you start getting messages and intuitive nudges from your guides, listen and follow to them! Don’t just brush them off. Be confident in your belief. Learn how to distinguish their messages, start applying them into your daily life.

✧ Ask them for signs - This can definitely help you build up your belief. You can ask your guides for any specific signs, for example as confirmations or if something’s coming up in your life. Trust me, they always deliver when you ask.

History of witchcraft: A summary.

I recommend to new practitioners to do their own research; however, I will leave this summary I did from what I have in my grimoire and what I studied about this. :D

It’s well known that witchcraft has born long time ago, and, thanks to the christian church, witches are catalogued as “The Devil believers” (which is not true, since the devil was, in fact, made by the church to represent the evil forces).

There’s not a certain date we can say “Witchcraft starts from here”, but it’s almost sure it exists since “world’s called world”, when the first humans started to use medicinal herbs, crystal properties for the same cause, the moon cycle for agriculture or fertility, among other things.

What is witchcraft?

It’s a practice, not a religion. However, they can work together as the wiccan case, or even catholic one (Yes, there are catholic and christian witches. Hi, friends! If you’re reading this :) ). It’s based on beliefs about nature and how its forces could “work” on our purpose.

In ancient times, witches were the wise people who healed others; most of them used to live isolated from the village, but some lived into it with the rest.

Those women (there were men, but women were most part of this community) knew how to cure ailments, injuries, about contraceptive and abortion methods, sometimes they were midwives, all with herbal mixtures and techniques that worked really well.

When the church appeared, and people noticed things didn’t work as well as with the wises (and went back with them), church accused these wise people of being “heretics”, doing spells and pact with Satan, causing the well-known witch hunt.

The witch hunt:

A lot of women were tortured by the church followers under the accusations of being witches; a mark in the middle of the back could be a reason to be burned alive, as much as knowing how to read or “so much”. Even if you conceal a witch but you’re not one, you’d be tortured too.

So many innocent women were murdered by the church accused of being “witches” from 15th to the 18th century, and this is the cause why witches have a book of shadows; the real practitioners used to have a notebook where they wrote some of the knowledge they had and it used to be hidden or “in the shadows”, so they wouldn’t be discovered and murdered.

When the accusation was declared “illegal”, witch hunt stopped, but even now there are some cases of murdering on suspicion of someone being a witch.
