Both the Feri tradition and, in a different way, Kabbalah also involve spirit work. I'm not familiar with any other traditions besides Clan of Tubal Cain derivitives (including 1734), so I don't know beyond that.

I just found your blog through google hedgewitch search. It's good to see that someone is realizing that working with the spirits of both the land and ancestors an important subject. I am currently learning a path that requires travel to the other world and finding that my relationships with the spirits there are an important resource to understanding what is going on with the more subtler

Hi Aedyn. Just stumbled on your blog whilst looking for a site not filled with fluffy bunnies and things which stick in my throat.

I live in Bristol UK. I am a 36 year old woman who is married and has two big fat rabbits.

I started down this path in about 1990 and ever since have been dipping in and out trying to find my way in to what I knew was in there somewhere. I tried all

I'm talking about spirits as I understand them. In this case they are the spirits contained in (or found from) the mystical system one chooses to work with.

In some instances these would be, of the living - land spirits being a good example. In others, like our ancestors, these would be of the dead.

Regardless, it's just my current running thought process, based on the

A friend of mine suggested your site actually, before it was blogisized. I had it bookmarked for some time and when I checked on it again last night, I was brought to your blog.

So what kind of spirits were you talking about? If not those of the dead, or living.

Nope, to be honest I thought you were.

If I may ask, how did you find my blog?

When I was a child, I was told to keep my stories or "lies" to myself, that it was was rude to pretend there was something there that wasn't. When my grandfather used to tell me about the things he saw and the places he went, I thought he was crazy.
Skeptism is understandable. When my hubby and I first met he thought I was a bit.. hmm.. whats the word.. loony? But he soon saw for himself

I believe you and I are discussing two different ideas. And, to be completely honest I tend to be very skeptical of tales like the one you're sharing.

Spirits frequent me very often. My grandfather said I'm a beacon for them, they sense my energy and come to see what I'm about. Aside from seeing them and hearing them (not conversationally) we don't interact. I don't know why. They approach me, but say nothing to me. I don't know if its me or them, but I'm working on my part.

I've had to banish only two of them, and had three

Some interesting thoughts here. What you've written reminds me a great deal of Bhakti Yoga, the Way of Devotion. You might be interested in a little essay written from a Celtic Reconstructionist perspective that deals with similar motifs, its called KILLYOUANDEATYOU or, in my own words, how to get along with
