Spirit Work

as other types of spirit work will be detailed in other pages, this page will specifically focus on ghosts/spirits of the dead, and their part in my path.

I was drawn to the dead before I was drawn to anything else about my path. I've always felt a strong desire to help spirits that are hurting or that feel lost. there are many, many reasons why someone may remain in this life after they die, and the specifics aren't something I tend to worry about much. instead, I try to focus on helping spirits that need it and providing them care.

I am often drawn to rehabilitating child spirits and helping them move on the most. as someone who also went through a lot of pain in childhood, I have a big desire to help ease some of that pain for them, and to help them pass on if I can. I interact with a lot of spirits on a regular basis, but it's incredibly important not to stretch yourself thin when doing this kind of work. you can't save everyone or help everyone, and that' one of the hardest lessons to learn.

I use quite a lot of tools to help me with spirit work. I am drawn to telepathy when the spirit I'm working with is receptive to it - due to having natural clairs, this is easiest for me and provides me a direct, closer connection with the spirit. however, I also have many other tools on hand for those who don't respond as well to astral work or telepathy, or who just enjoy one on one time with physical tools. the pendulum, tarot cards, spirit board, spirit box, and bone throwing are all tools I keep on hand to help facilitate communication. the spirit board in particular tends to be contentious with people, but it's a tool I feel very comfortable using. many spirits enjoy it and I've had the one I use now for years, and am experienced enough now to always protect myself thoroughly while using it.

discernment is an important skill in spirit work, which is essentially the ability to seek out a spirit's intentions before interacting with them. there are a lot of tricksters and malicious entities out there - overtime, I've trained myself in seeing through any masks a spirit puts up and reading the energy they put out to see if their intentions are genuine. this isn't to say I won't work with a dark entity, as I work with demons and deeper all the time - however, it is always important to know what you're getting into and how it applies to your own boundaries.

my spirit family is a series of spirits who have a long term residence in my home, inhabiting some sort of vessel that stays warded in my space. I work very closely with these spirits, and they are like a family to me who I want to care for and give the best home possible. they are a central part of my craft, and I spend a lot of my time interacting with them and providing them the individual care they need.
