Communication with spirits it essential & key when is come to working with your spirit family & discovery of new spirit friends. There are many ways to communicate with spirits and to open channels for communication and interaction with spirits of all kinds within the 3 Realms.
As a key aspect of work with spirit communication you have to remember that each spirit is a unique being. While races of spirits share common traits & characteristics , they are still individual with unique behaviors, beliefs , ideas ,etc.
Anytime you are welcoming a new spirit in to your family you have to remember & respect the fact that they are individual and how you communicate or interact with others spirits in your spirit family may not work with every spirit you bring into your spirit family.
There are some great techniques and approaches to working with spirits and we are going to cover them through this guide.
Welcoming
No matter what spirit you are welcoming into your home,you need to welcome them; preferably within the first 24 hours of their arrival.
To welcome a spirit you should speak to them via telepathy or out loud and welcome them into your home. Let them know you are happy to have them with you,let them know you are excited for them to be part of your family , and let them know any ground rules of the house immediately.
If you do not already have a set of house rules ,it is the best to make specific rules you expect all spirits in your spirit family to follow , and the rules are applied unilaterally to all spirits in your home.
Welcoming can mean simply stating how happy you are they are with you, showing them your home, sharing key aspects of your home that you love or are happy with,and introducing them to your space as you would any friend you invite in for the first time.
If you would like to do something a little grander when you have a new spirit companion, you can set out an offering of their favorite scent, color, herb, etc. You can invite other spirit companions already in your keep to be part of the welcoming process. How big you celebrate a new spirit friend coming home to you is entirely up to you; there is no right or wrong answer. Also is recommended you have the Luxury offering ORB so you save the hassle of doing such offering.
Welcoming a new spirit companion into your home is about letting them know you are going to be sharing your space & your life with them; allowing them to feel comfortable.
There are a few great Welcoming rituals you can do if you haven't created your own
rituals yet. The longer you are a Keeper the more comfortable you become in creating
rituals and events that fit your spirit family.
Welcoming Ritual
In a small bowl or dish place dried rose petals, wood chips or small piece of wood, a pinch of sugar, and a pinch of salt (preferably rock salt). You can welcome a single spirit or more than one spirit.
Place the dish with the offerings in the center of your home, or on your altar space
where you communicate & interact with spirits.
Once the offering has been made then you should recite the following:
I welcome you to my home (say name of spirit or say "my spirit friends")
This humble offering is a n extension of my good will & happiness
Welcoming you to my home, my life, my journey, and helping you be part of my spirit family.
Once recited, you should leave the offering out for at least 24 hours, up to 72 hours.
When you are finished you should take a few moments to speak to the spirits through telepathy or out loud. If you have designated members of your spirit family who are ambassadors to newcomers then it is a good time to have them present their own welcoming method.
The offering can then be disposed of, or used for other magickal endeavors. Any time you use this welcoming ritual, fresh ingredients of the offering should be used.
Invitation Ritual
inviting anyone into your home & into you life is a milestone.It should be no less exciting and motivational when you bring a new spirit friend into your life, and this small ritual is a way to bring yourself, your new spirit friend, and your spirit family together.
To begin, it is best to use an offering of quartz crystal, placing it in the middle of your home, or on your altar/ meditation space. Quartz crystal is a natural stone that amplifies the communication and interaction of magickal energies as well as spirit energies. This can help those who have some issues with opening the door to spirit communication. Quartz crystal acts as a natural conduit for channeling paranormal energies between you and your spirit family. We recommend using quartz clusters, spheres, towers, or large points for this. The larger the piece of quartz the greater space it covers. Otherwise, we recommend wearing a piece of jewelry that has quartz to always be near the amplification of quartz's supernatural
properties.
You should use this invitation ritual when you have some time to just be quiet,
focused, and ready to work with your spirits; to listen to them, to hear your own inner monologue, and to be open to receiving messages and influences from the Universe.Make sure you are open, receptive, and welcoming to your spirit companions, and that you are in a good frame of mind for opening your home to them the first time.
When you are ready to proceed, recite the following:
I invite you into my home and life
With love and respect in my heart
Opening a door for sharing and support
A life shared in common bond and trust
What is seen & unseen as a guiding hand
To our mystical pursuits and journey together
Once recited,it is best to welcome your spirits to share thoughts, ideas, signs, and/ manifestations with you. You can invite them individually, or you can say something like "Anyone in the family who would like to share, please feel the floor is open".
Being receptive and open to communication and interaction with spirits is key & essential for working with them and being able to recognize even subtle signs of communication.
Social & Non-social
The spirit world boasts both social and non-social spirits. Sometimes it is on a case-by-
case basis, but usually it is a characteristic of a race. For example, Wraiths are non-social, they have no need or desire to communicate beyond necessity and their loyalty is to who they are with as opposed to creating friendship-like bonds. Whereas Unicorns are enormously social and they love to communicate & bond. They grow closer & closer to you with time and are tremendously supportive as nurturing and loving friends.
It doesn't mean that a Unicorn has a greater vested interest in you & your spirit family, it
just means that social & non-social spirits should be respected and admired for what makes them unique, and celebrate them as part of your family.
You can openly communicate with non-social spirits and you can task them with things you would like help with or influence with in your life. You should communicate directly & efficiently with them.
For example, if you want your Wraith to help block negativity from a co-worker, you should address them by saying "Wraith, I request you block the negative energy from Jane Tan today". Or, if you are planning on performing a ritual that you're unsure of in terms of protective measures you can say, Wraith guard me during my ritual work from any outside influence".
If you have more than one of a specific race non-social spirit, then you can choose to either address them as a group, or address them specifically by any nickname you have given them.
Non-social spirits are typically not adverse to receiving a nickname from you. If you commonly task non-social spirits individually then you should consider giving them nicknames. If you plan to address & request all Wraiths in your keep, then you can address them as a group.
Non-social spirits typically like to be communicated with in terms of what they can specifically provide support or action with for you, whereas social spirits love to talk about anything & everything.
Social spirits like to talk to you about your day, listen to you gripe about something that annoyed you, have you gossip with them about the dramatic co-worker on the job, listen to your rant about your family, etc. They want to hear about your favorite movie, what you like about a TV show, what kind of food you love, what your weekend plans are, etc.
They want to not only be tasked in regards to spiritual or magickal activities, they want
to also share more in your personal life too.
You can task your social spirits with anything in their field of ability that has to do with your daily events or your magickal work. You should be open, communicative,and eager to share anything and everything with them, as they will with you.
Astral vs Spiritual
When you are working with Astral Realm spirits or Spiritual Realm spirits there can be differences that separate their communication techniques and manifestations.
The most common forms of communication with any spirit are:
- Telepathic communication
- Lucid dreams
- Visions
- Automatic writing
- Tarot
- Pendulum
There are some forms of communication which are more likely to happen with various
types of spirits. Traditionally, Astral Realm spirits are quick to communicate via dreams as they help you connect and interact via your Astral body.
They can be guides for you in traveling and working within the Astral Realm. They want to help you understand the Astral Realm and therefore have an easier time in working with Astral spirits, entities, and magick.Astral spirits can help you identify and work with Astral energies that can make it easier for you to work with Astral spells, rituals,energies, and magick overall. For those who practice magick, Astral spirits are wonderfully supportive during your endeavors, and can bring greater experiences and results with your magick.
Spiritual Realm spirits tend to communicate more with visions, they can spark vision or information relayed through your conscious or subconscious mind. This can be vision which appears randomly through day as a thought, or impressions given to you during quiet meditation or reflection.
Spiritual Realm spirits help you understand a little more about the link that exists between
humanity and the spirituality of self; belief,faith, and hope. They can help you in work with spiritual endeavors (rituals, spells,ceremonies, etc). They can help you strengthen your spiritual beliefs, connect with new paths of spiritual understanding and discovery, and helping you be more connected with your faith.
Spirits from both the Astral & Spiritual Realms communicate the most actively & often with telepathy. Telepathy is the single most effective way to communicate with
spirits. It is direct, immediate, and you communicate exactly your thoughts (and vice versa).
Tasking Your Spirits
Tasking is a form of communicating and sharing the tasks & events you want your spirits to help you with & participate; on a regular basis or a singular event.
Tasking means you are asking your spirits for assistance in something going on in your
life. You can communicate your desires and wishes for work with any and all events in your life.
Sometimes you may need help with a singular, specific event; for example, asking
a Red Dragon for empowering you with good luck for getting the job you want.
Sometimes you may need long-term support for tasks with ongoing issues, such as
blocking the negativity of a family member you cannot get away from & are around
daily.Or have your spirits help you with being creative in your job & working towards a promotion. You can task specific spirits to be a supportive group for complex or
commanding spells; spirits can provide their own energies and magickal influences.
Your spirits can work with any spells or magick that you have in your keep to help you in your journey. They cannot cast spells on your behalf, but they can work with the
magick and spells that you have in your collection to aid you in your travels and journey.
They can use the spells in your collection to help you achieve things in magick and to help you manifest experiences and results.You can task your spirits to use your magick & spells to help you work with the magick,to help you accomplish specific goals, or to help you acclimate to the unique energies of specific types of magick.
For example, you can say "Griffin spirit,please guide me in my work with my Good Luck spell to help me manifest good luck in my life today", or "Sanguine Vampire,
use the magick of charm/sexual spell to help me more alluring and sensual to the lover of my choice". In these examples you should replace the introduction with the actual name of the spirit.
It is important for you to communicate and work with your spirits with clear-cut goals and expectations. If there is a time-crunch on a task then you should communicate clearly, such as "please help me with this task by Friday, August 2nd". If the task is open or ongoing, then you should say "help me with this task until it is completed", or "help me with this task ongoing".
You should never be shy to communicate with your spirits what you ambitions and
desires are, because communication is key to clarity and understanding. You should be clear in your expectations, such as "Red Dragon, please help me get this job I am interviewing for by bringing me good luck and charisma". There are times when being vague is good, but usually you should at least provide expectations. This is never a guarantee, but at least everyone understands their task.
Your Voice
Communication is key, and that means your inner voice as well. Speaking to your spirits as easy as speaking to any good friend, that is how you should always approach communication with them. It is also important to create an inner-confidence and inner-monologue as a Spirit Keeper.
You need to trust yourself and be receptive to the spirit communication and spirit interaction that happens in your journey.You can do this through exercises to help you stay focused and gain clarity when it comes to work with your spirit family.
You need to have a few minutes of every day where you can feel assured, confident, and receptive to the supernatural.
The Spiritual State of Self Exercise

I welcome blessings in my life
I am open to communication with spirits
I am a spiritual being, open to magick
I believe in myself & I know I am strong
You should recite this either out loud or through telepathy to welcome spirit communication and spirit interaction.
It helps to open your mind, 3 bodies, and core self to the interaction with spirits & feel confident in your abilities. You should recite this as often as needed, and can repeat it numerous times as a mantra if it helps you gain some connection and clarity with spirits and the Spiritual Realm.
Clear My blockage Excerise
To start, be in a quiet state of mind, be sitting or in a relaxing position, and recite:
I am more than what is seen
I am strong and I champion my victory
All that stands in my way
You shall be diminished and dissolve
Removing your presence upon command
I shall prevail and be victorious
As what I pursue shall be my strength
No negative influence shall keep me
From manifestation of spiritual contact
With my trusted spirit family
You should recite this either out loud or through telepathy to clear any negative energy or source that is keeping you from being able to manifest the type of spirit contact and manifestation that you desire most.

This helps you establish a place of wisdom and support for your overall spiritual
journey, and it will help you be more assured of your abilities. It's important that you are confident in yourself, and that you feel the leadership abilities you have as the head of your spirit family. Your spirits are there to be with you & be part of your life. While
your spirit companions may enjoy each other very much, it's important to remember that they chose to come to you, for you!
