Hello, friends! The day has finally come. We've talked about this episode forever. We actually recorded this one right about the time things started to shut down, and now - here it is. The first of our two-part spirit guide episode.In this first part, we talk about what a spirit guide is, how you know when they're around and ideas on how you can meet and get to know yours.Chapters:00:00 - Intro01:00 - Welcome and tea talk02:47 - Today's topic is... spirit guides (in case you haven't already guessed.) We give a quick overview of what we plan to cover.05:19 - What is a spirit guide and what form might they come in? We cover ancestors, angels/archangels, deities (gods, goddesses or ascended masters), animal familiars, and more.15:23 - How do you know when your guides are communicating with you? There are several ways that your guides may be sending you a message, and several ways in which they will communicate with you.20:07 - How can I connect with my guides? It's not always easy - just like with any other relationship, and it may be confusing - especially at first - but it gets easier. We give you a few tips and tricks and words of encouragement, starting with a spirit walk.33:05 - How to safely return from a spirit walk and maintain the connection afterward.35:14 - Other way to connect with your guides include scrying (flames, smoke, crystal balls or water), spirit boards (aka Ouija Boards), auto-writing, and pendulums.39:20 - Once you've made contact, be sure to maintain the relationship. Don't just call on your guides when you need something. Honor them, talk to them, and respect them. They are like friends and the relationships need to be fed and nourished, respected and maintained.41:59 - Card of the week (We used an Oracle deck this week).We'll see you next week for part 2! We have lots more information regarding how we connected with our guides, what we've learned, and how we maintain the relationships.Oracle Deck Used: Wisdom ofhttps://www.colettebaronreid.com/use-colettes-free-online-oracle-cards-app/ ( the Oracle by Collette Baron-Reid)Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/magicfromtheroot/ (@magicfromtheroot)Support us by becoming a member on https://www.patreon.com/magicfromtheroot (Patreon)Contact us: http://magicfromtheroot.com/index.php/contact-us/ (Click Here) to send us a message.Visit our website: http://magicfromtheroot.com/ (magicfromtheroot.com)
