Description
This book is an invitation to find the spirits that you sense around you, to connect with them, honour them, and share their stories. Within these pages, you will discover that you can interact with deities, your beloved dead, and the Fae. These spirits can provide you with myriad gifts, but the channels of communication must be open first. Learn to reach out beyond the mundane world and commune with other realms of existence. Explore hands-on techniques for working with intention, developing your own place of power, and negotiating with the spirits that you contact. With dozens of exercises as well as instructions for beginners and experienced spiritual practitioners, this book is a guide to initiating and sustaining relationships that are more powerful than you could ever imagine.
