Spirit Communication: Tips
Here are some tips I’ve learned over the years about working with spirits. None of these include tips pertaining to communicating with spirits via tarot cards or a pendulum. This is all about how to sense and interact with a spirit without the aid of any tools.
First of all, as with anything, set up protection. This is a disclaimer I have to give every time I talk about anything. Set up boundaries ahead of time as well if you are dealing with a new spirit.
You’re sitting there and you get excited every time a leaf blows in the wind. “It’s a sign,” you exclaim. No, it’s not. You need to learn the skill of discernment before you start anything else. You will pick this up quickly the more you work with spirits. Not every waking thing is a sign from a deity or spirit. This will allow the real interactions you have with them become richer and filled with more meaning.
Quit trying so hard. The more you strain to hear or get in contact with a spirit, the more your mind will be closed to hearing or feeling them. It seems to be a stupid law of the universe.
When it comes to clairaudience, you can either experience internal or external clairaudience. Internal can either sound like your own “mind’s voice” talking or it can differ. External clairaudience is when you actually hear something being said. Usually the external clairaudience will happen when you are caught off guard and the internal communication will be more common.
The voice of a spirit will come quickly and all at once without giving you any time to think about it. If you are having a back and forth conversation the spirit will sometimes answer you before you can even finish.
A little trick I used to use was to just straight up ask myself if I just said something versus a spirit just saying something when experiencing internal clairaudience. I would ask myself in my head, “did I just say that”. If it was me who made up what I wanted to hear the spirit say (rarely, this was more when I started out) then I could say “yes, that was me talking” with ease. However, if I was hesitant to say “yes, that was me talking”, even for a split-second, I knew it wasn’t me. This may or may not work for you. Try this method or set up some kind of system like that where you can check yourself. Eventually you learn the pattern and will no longer need this for discernment.
Sometimes you won’t hear any words. You will get feelings and images of what the spirit is saying and your brain will translate these feelings and images into a narrative.
Outside of them talking, some will make sounds to let you know they’re around. While these are usually external sounds (tapping for instance), sometimes it can be a sound you hear internally. I’ve been in contact with one spirit who had a distinct and odd sound he made as he talked.
Outside of clairaudience, look for synchronicity. If you keep seeing images of snakes, hearing unrelated people talking about snakes, and turn on the tv and see snakes - something is trying to get your attention with snakes. I don’t believe in coincidences. However, don’t ask a spirit to show you snakes as a sign and sit there and strain your eyes to look for snake imagery. It doesn’t work like that. You have to let your subconscious find the theme the spirit wants you to find. This goes with the above rule: stop trying so hard.
Watch for flashes of light, orbs, figures, and movement out the corner of your eye.
Be very aware of images flashing in your head briefly. These are important. One deity I work with always shows me, very quickly, the bottom half of his face smiling when he’s talking to me. Once again, don’t try hard trying to force yourself to see any visuals. These should come naturally and will almost always catch you off guard and when you’re least expecting it.
Be aware of hyper realistic dreams and dreams that make an impact on you. You know, the dreams that you can remember even years later. These are usually riddled with direct messages from a spirit or any kind of higher being.
Spirits will often touch you. It’s just how they are. I have one deity that will touch my hair. He’s even done it in the middle of class. It’s how I know he is with me. It’s all up to the spirit. You’ll find out how they get your attention. The same goes for temperature change. Some will present warm or cold spots. Some will give you a boost of energy to let you know they’re around. Some energies are famous for giving off energy that makes you feel tipsy like you just started drinking booze. Take notice of all sorts of physical stimuli and recognize their energy signature.
Set boundaries. If you don’t want to be touched or even if you want to cut off all contact with a spirit because you are hesitant, ask them politely yet firmly and they should oblige. If even for a second they ignore your wishes you can either ask one more time, this time all business, or you can go straight to booting them out of your space. Standard banishing, cleansing, and protections apply.
Pay attention to your energy and how you feel (if you have a knack for feeling energy). Do you feel anxious or afraid when they’re around even if you are supposedly talking to a nice, non dark arts spirit? Be wary. Some spirits naturally and passively give off negative feelings that can cause anxiety, fear, depression, and other things even if they mean no harm to you. These are usually the darker spirits. If you know that’s what you are talking to, then great!
Spirits lie. They lie about what they are, how great they are, and can even lie to you about how great YOU are just to gain your trust. Learn the difference between a true compliment giver and a kiss ass if you get complimented by a spirit.
Don’t obsess over it. I love talking to spirits. It’s fun! It can become an obsession, though. You wouldn’t bug your flesh friend every waking moment of every single day, so don’t do it to your spirit friend.
Have fun and use good judgement. Most of all, be patient. It’s a skill you work at. It won’t happen over night. Working on opening your third eye, using sigils to aid in communication, using crystals and herbs, and other tools will help you even more. Don’t try to rush it. Let it come naturally.

Getting used to this...
Last night I didn’t get any sleep at all. Disappointed, I reached out to Morpheus and asked for some help.
A five hour nap later I’m still groggy. I rarely sleep during the day. I really feel I asked for too much too soon.
I can see him now... “You want sleep? I will give you sleep!”
I’m really just figuring this all out.
The red dog like creature in my dream had a similar head to this (found when I googled Phobetor). The snout was more dog-like and the body was of a dog. Anyone seen anything like it before?
A Visit
My dreams all take place in the same universe, it’s incredibly vibrant (in a dark sort of way) and has a similar geography/cast of characters throughout. I often meet cultists, walk among religious temples other than my own. Large Buddha statues can be found as well as a few large Scientologist churches (strange I know). I’m starting to believe due to the consistency of setting of my dreams that I may actually be astral traveling in my sleep.
Last night two interesting things happened.
One was I met a large bearded man and a dog-like creature that was red in color and quite large. The man’s job was to visit people in their dreams and work with their dreams. He asked me to help him do his job. I was given a computer like instrument and there were numbers flashing on it, I had to monitor where he was in the dreams and press a button when it was time for him to return. The red dog creature stayed with me (and despite how terrifying he looked, he was incredibly sweet). I made a mistake the first time helping out but the man was ok with it and understood I was new.
I personally believe this was Morpheus and his brother Phobetor. (Phobetor was the personification of nightmares and appeared in dreams in the form of animals or monsters. AKA the red dog like creature). I felt really at home with them and believe this was the sign that I am ready to accept my patron Deity, and that he has accepted me.
Another part of the dream I was walking around on a beach (there is so much water in this land!) and found a large group of people huddled somewhat together reading the bible. It looked like a normal bible study group, just on the beach. I went to sit and do my own thing when a group of young men invited me over (there was someone with me but I can’t remember who) to read with them. I always feel uncomfortable saying no to Christians because I have so many in my life so I agreed.
When I went over they were reading Christian horoscopes out of a magazine like book. It was the same petty/silly stuff you would get in the normal horoscope in a magazine just kinda with a Christian twist. I laughed and they all got up and walked over to the water. Someone told me this group wasn’t actually a bible study group but a science class. It turns out that they were reading the book because there were two things to be skeptical about: Astrology and Christianity.
After that my dream ended. The last part made me laugh. As for meeting Morpheus and Phobetor? Welcome! I will do my best to please you both. I feel grateful for your acceptance.

A witchy reminder
Doing frivolous magic keeps you in shape for doing important magic.
are you a pagan
Yes
Please attempt at some point in your life to recreate this bath I just had; it was otherworldly:
hot water
at least half a cup of salt - I used kosher
two bay leaves (or more, don’t let me dull your sparkle)
the peel from one orange
brewed black tea with pear (I used a caramelized pear tea and ended up drinking half of it, but it still counts)
Salt for purification, protection. Bay leaf for protection, strength. Orange peel for good fortune. Pear for longevity. Black tea for strength, banishing negativity.
You could use slices of orange to float in the tub, I suppose, but I wanted to eat my orange. As you wash, scrub away from your center to banish the negativity.
Oooooooh I am gonna try this bath!
