![]() TLDR start with deities and nature spirits, always show respect, and take the time to form bonds.A lcohol-Expectancy Theory suggests that individuals consume alcohol because they believe drinking will lead to a certain effect (e.g., increasing social interaction, relieving tension), and these beliefs have long been suggested to influence individuals' drinking levels ( Brown et al., 1980 Fromme et al., 1993 Goldman et al., 1987 Jones et al., 2001). Species are the trickiest because of this, and I recommend being fairly confident in your abilities before reaching out to them, or work with an expert. Point being, with every species you encounter, read up on mythology, keep an open mind, and definitely be careful. And some things can seem malicious to them that are okay with us. It is always something to keep in mind, that they will have different rules in their societies, therefore some things may seem malicious to us but not to them. This specifically pertains to demons and fae most commonly. Now, certain species will seem to be more malicious due to their moralities being different than with humans. They all have personalities, goals, passions, and so forth. When I say species, this is where I mean the “mythological creatures.” Just like humans, all demons, vampires, werewolves, fae, and so forth have a greyscale of “good” and “evil”. Always take this into account, and get to know them carefully. There are so many different personalities just as you would find with a physical, live human. They can simply be upset with their situation and lash out. Humans also can be anywhere on the greyscale of “good” and “evil”. Human spirits can be trickier, as many times they are “stuck” to wander the earth and are not ready to pass on. Once the bond forms, they will be more willing to speak with you. Helping the land and the nature in question tends to appease nature spirits and have a bond form with them. Recycle/throw away trash you find left around. To do this, offerings and time spent is what I recommend. You can communicate as you would with any other spirit, but a bond with the land they are on is needed. These spirits are a little more on the neutral side. Certain natural landmarks like mountains. I have found most rivers and lakes and other bodies of water will have a sort of spirit as well. All animals and plants, perhaps even fungi. In my experience, most anything that is alive will have some sort of spirit. Finally, as you already will have a bond with the deity, the bonds you have will only strengthen and make it even easier for communication. They have an easier time manipulating divination tools for communication. Another reason is that deities have a larger amount of energy and power, so they can be easier to sense and hear. This tends to be a “safer” route, as deities are less likely to manipulate or attack you with malice without being triggered in some way. Many times, I will recommend that when someone first starts out in spirit work, if you already have a deity you connect with, try working on communication with your deity/ies. ![]() However, they do have more energy and power, and therefore they tend to be a little easier to contact. When it comes to spirit work, one of the most common questions I have seen is, “Who do I contact when starting out?” Personally, I divide spirits into four different categories: Human, Species, Nature, and Deities. Everyone has different experiences and this is only what I suggest. Disclaimer: All my spirit work advice is from personal experience and what I have been taught by mentors.
