Are you interested in getting started in spirit work or spirit keeping? It can be an incredibly rewarding experience, but it is also important to understand the basics of how to do it safely and effectively. This blog post will provide a comprehensive guide on how to start spirit work and spirit keeping. We’ll cover topics such as what spirit work is, how to find and choose spirits, setting up an altar, protecting yourself, and more.

What is Spirit Work?

Spirit work is the practice of working with spiritual entities, usually in the form of energy, and engaging in activities such as divination, healing, and teaching. It is a very personal practice that requires dedication and time in order to be successful. There are many different styles of spirit work, including shamanic practices, ancestor veneration, and witchcraft.

Finding and Choosing Spirits

Before you can work with any spirits, you must first find them. This can be done through meditation, dreamwork, journeying, or other methods of seeking out spiritual entities. Once you’ve found a few spirits that you are interested in working with, it is important to get to know them better before committing to a long-term relationship. Ask questions about their goals and intentions for you, ask for advice or assistance on matters that concern you, and pay attention to the feelings you get when interacting with them.

Setting Up an Altar

Once you’ve decided which spirits you would like to work with, it is important to create a space for your spirit work. This can be done by setting up an altar dedicated to your spirit work. You can include items such as crystals, candles, incense, representations of the spirits you are working with, tools used for divination or healing work, etc. This will create a space for your spirit work and will be used as the center of your practice.

Protecting Yourself

When engaging in spirit work or spirit keeping it is essential that you take the necessary steps to protect yourself. This can be done through setting boundaries with your spirits, using protective symbols or rituals during your practice, and grounding yourself afterwards. Setting boundaries will help ensure that the relationship between you and the spirits remains positive and beneficial for both parties. Protective symbols or rituals will help ward off any negative energy or entities that may attempt to enter your space. Lastly, grounding yourself after any spiritual activity will help restore your energy levels and allow you to return to the physical realm safely.

Conclusion

Starting spirit work or spirit keeping can be an incredibly rewarding experience but it is important to understand the basics of how to do it safely and effectively. Through meditation, dreamwork, or journeying one can find spirits they wish to work with. Once chosen it is essential to create an altar dedicated to spiritual practice where one can engage with chosen spirits safely and productively. Finally, taking proper steps to protect oneself such as setting boundaries with spirits and using symbols of protection are key when doing any type of spiritual practice.

Like it or not, spirit work is based on research (a rant)

I haven't talked about witchcraft in a good while, and desperate anon that messed up with spirit work gave me the perfect opportunity to speak again and rant. Our beautiful anon started spirit work, and the thing is that they didn't research much, and well... here is a teaching time by your probably not favorite 14 y/o, me. 

Look, I understand; we all fuck up. I have too, because I'm not perfect and no one is; the thing is that I knew my mistake and how to solve it. Why? WHY! That'sThat's because I have been working with spirits for a while (not anymore), and before even starting, I read as much as possible. 

I'mI'm sure everyone has seen those jokes regarding baby witches jumping straight into things that are not for beginners, I have too, and this is a perfect example! Are spirits super fascinating? Yes! But at the same before even thinking of it, you have to learn, research, and start with small things such as ancestors, etc.

Finding a negative spirit is not normal (at least not for me), but IT'SIT'S POSSIBLE. Instead of jumping in without knowing anything aside, communication is a story that probably will not end well, and even though I'mI'm flattered some people come to me for instructions, it is still a shock that they didn't research what to do...

Spirit witches need to research, and they have to look after wtf they're doing and be conscious because you really can't control what is going to happen, so knowing the basics such as cleansing, banishing, protection, etc., is so necessary.  

Idk who told this person to start bringing spirits without telling them that is not like getting puppies home- but please, please, please, please, learn the bases, learn everything you can, even if you're not a spirit worker.

EVERYONE IN THIS PATH NEEDS THE BASES OF WITCHCRAFT, PERIOD.

So before anyone comes to me (even if I feel flattered), I'llI'll leave here some posts regarding spirit working and the bases. Again, research, good luck, BUT READ-

Hi❤ I wanted to know what can sprits help me with in my practice? what can they do? and if you don't mind giving me some tips or ways how to start spirit work in general? if you have any book recommendations or any resources or just anything i can do?

Hey my dear anon! I think and stick with the same words i always say, it’s your practice. I think depending in yourself spirits work differently.

I personally contacted spirits for knowledge, or my ancestors for comfort. Just for you to know, spirits are wise, so I’ll say spirits can teach you many things other people can’t. 

And yes ofc, I think the main tip I can give you is be respectful, don’t trust everything that appears, but at the same time don’t fear spirits. I think one of my main errors was panicking, if you actually have a bad encounter with a negative spirits, panicking is not going to help, learn how to stay calm in negative situations and go with it. 

Research,  also research a lot and before actually communicating with a spirit, look for what spirit you want to contact with.

Spirits are entities that easily can trick you, so be careful with that. 

In books i would recommend: 

- Familiar Spirits: A Practical Guide for Witches and Magicians by Donald Tyson -The Witch's Book of Spirits by Devin Hunter  - Protection & Reversal Magick: A Witch's Defense Manual (Beyond 101) by Jason Miller

And in other resources of posts for spirit working/protection/basics

Some types of spirits

I love spirits so much... Well! Hi witches around the world, spirits on the house? Anyways, you may already or not know that even though im not THE BEST witch ever i know my stuff, obviously many of my things are not in my blog because i upload what i have in my physical BOS but i know my shit. AND MY SHIT IS SPIRITS!!!! + herbs

Im a total spirits fanatic and even though i don’t have the power like a medium or shit, i love them. Anyways, for my fellow witches that wanna work with spirits, here is some of the spirits I think you mainly will find because there’s a lot and like we not doing that for now. 

Spirits? What’s that? 

Let’s get clear that is “group”  of energy, it has an energy body and SOMETIMES an astral body. It doesn’t have a physical body if its not possessing someone or something. 

The main type of spirits (for me)

Ancestors Personally if you starting to work with spirits... maybe start with your ancestors! Ancestral spirits are exactly what they sound, your ancestors! Your grandma is gone? She is now an ancestor spirits. 

Ghosts Is the deceased spirit of a human being, all human spirits are ghosts, period. 

Nature spirits and it sub-classes They are the spirits that are related to nature and it forces. Some of this type of spirits are water tree spirits, land spirits, etc. 

Twin flames Two entities that identical or almost identical, is like a soulmate but way more... deep? Like the other half! It’s kinda weird to find yours, or to be reborn at the same lifetime but you can’t say if you will never find your twin flame!

Parasite Have you seen all those posts telling you to protect yourself? Parasites are one of the reasons. Spirit work is... kinda a work you need to protect know how to make yourself a protection place and parasites are kinda why. In general, they feed from your energy and its not cool. 

-_-

Well, i know its kinda short... but i feel its important to the beginner spirit workers or a beginner witch that wanna know (FOR THE SAKE OF GOOD IF YOU JUST STARTED DON’T TOUCH SPIRITS UNTIL YOU KNOW HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF, HOW TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM WITHOUT OFFENDING THEM ETC), ill be in a trip so ill try to post as much as i can. Love yall, blessed be and be ready for tomorrow’s full moon!

Am I read for spirit work?

When I was just starting, I REALLY wanted to work with spirits, I literally dreamt with working with spirits xd. Gratefully i was patient and didn’t rush to work with things i couldn’t deal with, but i always asked my self, when am i ready for spirit work?

What is spirit work? Is it needed to be a witch?

Basically the act of communicating with spirits. There are a lot of types of spirits (my post about it here) and not all of them are positive, but they can bring a lot of knowledge and generally they are really wise. 

No, you don’t have to work with spirits for being a witch, if you don’t wanna work with them is totally okay. You need to understand that when you open the spirit work door it will probably never close, but it’s not obligatory to open it. 

Protection, banishing, cleansing and energy work

I- okay. For me the base of spirit work is protection. It’s really weird for me when my witchy friend has a fcking spirit attached and have no clue what to do or why they got it. Well my child, it was probably your fault for not protecting yourself!

In my personal opinion, you need to know what to do if you have a nasty spirit around, how to deal with it. Like, if you do have a problem you can come to me and i’ll try to guide you but many times you won’t have the time of asking someone, you’ll know what to do.

Conclusion? Learn to ward, banish, protect, etc.

You should also know a little bit of energy work, i would say a lot but whatever. Energy work is what helps you feel if something is there, if the energy changed, etc. Energy work can also help you protect yourself so... learn a little bit pls. 

Logic & Discernment

I think that for spirit work you gotta be really logic, if emotions get to you it could be chaotic. You also gotta think if what you’re seeing is ACTUALLY there, that you’re not making things up. 

Don’t trust everything you see on the internet about spirits, even though i consider im a good source, you never know! Try also comparing to other sources and your own experiences. 

Also when talking to spirits be logic, is it good to receive something from them? Are you exchanging something? It may be dangerous? Think a lot about that.

Research & respect

Let’s get clear that you have to research if you want to not fuck up things. If you just go and sit and be like “Oh spirits” but don’t research? You’re done im sorry. Witchcraft is a research + reading path, if you don’t like it you are going to mess up so badly.

Also respect, RESPECT REPEAT WITH ME. Respect is a key when working with spirits, respect is going to lead you to a safe place, being rude is just going to put you in danger. 

BUT don’t be naive, respect always but you’re safety is always first, don’t do something just for being nice, if they are negative entities they wanna harm you period. 

The dangers

First of all don’t go all scared, if you go all scared you gonna fail probably. PRECAUTION IS GOOD OKAY, but not just oh that spirit is evil or smth because that could offend them. But yes, spirit work has some dangers.

You’re letting spirits enter and may fuck youuuu up. Fake being someone, hurt you emotionally, etc etc. If you’re not in a good headspace i would say don’t start now, and be safe, always being safe.

———

If you have everything i say do it. BUT remember, open door that can’t be closed. I opened that door (don’t work with spirits anymore) and i still protect myself as if i did... 

just stay safe please! And good luck with your craft

Welcome to the wonderful world of spirit work and spirit keeping! This blog post will walk you through the basics of how to get started in this rewarding practice.

The first step is to understand the concept of spirit keeping. Spirit keeping is an ancient practice involving the nurturing, protection, and communication with spirits or entities. This practice is often used for spiritual growth and development, as well as to gain access to divine knowledge and power.

Once you have an understanding of what spirit keeping is, the next step is to decide which type of spirit work you would like to pursue. There are many different types of spirit work, including divination, witchcraft, shamanism, mediumship, astral projection, and more. It’s important to carefully consider each type of spirit work and decide which one aligns best with your intentions and abilities.

The next step is to choose which type of entity you would like to keep. Again, there are many different types of entities that can be kept as spirit companions, such as angels, demons, elementals, faeries, gods/goddesses, etc. It’s important to do research on each type of entity before making a decision about which one you would like to keep as a companion.

The fourth step is to determine how you would like to keep your companion. There are many ways in which this can be done, including using a physical vessel (such as a statue or figurine), creating an altar space for your companion, or even keeping them in a jar or box. It’s important to determine what works best for you and your companion.

The fifth step is to create a safe space for your companion. This could be done by setting up an altar space with symbols and objects that represent your practice and intentions. It’s also important to create boundaries for your practice in order to protect yourself from malevolent entities.

The sixth step is to begin building a relationship with your companion by engaging in activities such as divination, witchcraft rituals, meditations, and other spiritual practices. As you continue interacting with your companion they will begin to open up more and share their wisdom and guidance with you.

Finally, it’s important to keep track of your progress and document any guidance or messages that your companions offer you through divination sessions or other spiritual activities. This will help you stay on track with your spirit work and ensure that you’re getting the most out of your practice.

We hope that this blog post has helped shed some light on the basics of how to get started with spirit work and spirit keeping in really detailed way! If you have any further questions or would like additional guidance feel free to reach out for assistance!

What are Spirits companios

Spirits companions are spiritual entities or forces that have been present throughout human history. They are believed to be non-physical entities that can provide comfort, guidance, and protection for those who seek and welcome them. These spirits have been traditionally called upon to help with healing, decision-making, and various other spiritual tasks or endeavors.

Over the centuries, people have interpreted these spiritual forces in different ways. Some believe these entities are angels or ascended masters, while others believe they are the ghosts of our ancestors or guardians of a special place or object. Regardless of what one believes about them, it is clear that many cultures have long recognized that the presence of these spirits is a part of life.

At a minimum, it is believed that these entities can provide a greater sense of connection to something larger than ourselves. They can offer a greater understanding of our place in the universe and our role in the world. This connection can provide comfort during times of difficulty and also help us to gain perspective on our lives.

Moreover, some believe that these spirits can serve as guides or protectors as we go through life. For example, if we are struggling with a particular problem or decision, calling upon the spirit may help us to see things from a different perspective and provide insight into possible solutions. Similarly, if we feel unsafe in a particular situation, we may call upon the spirit to guide us out of danger.

Additionally, some believe that these spirits can offer healing energy. This healing energy can be used for both physical and emotional ailments. Specifically, if we are feeling emotionally overwhelmed or if we have physical pain, focusing on the presence of the spirit and inviting its healing energy may help us feel more at ease and reduce our suffering.

Ultimately, whatever beliefs one may hold about these spirits, it is clear that they have served as companions for many people throughout history and continue to do so today. While some may not be able to feel their presence or sense their energy directly, many people still find comfort in the idea of spiritual companionship and rely on this belief for comfort during difficult times.
