Working with spirits in witchcraft is commonly known as necromancy; there are different ways to go about working with spirits in magick depending on your ability, expertise, knowledge and comfort level.

Necromancy is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

In this post, we’ll cover how to work with the spirits that are familiar to you, that are often around you and that know you rather than summoning up unfamiliar spirits that you don’t know.

Here we’ll cover:

• Who your (familiar) spirits are and who they aren’t
• How to differentiate between your (familiar) spirits, your loved ones in spirit and unknown/wandering spirits
• The difference between high magick and low (folk) magick necromancy and spirit work
• How to introduce yourself to your spirits
• What offerings to make to your spirits
• Protection needed when working with spirits
• Different types of workings, divination and magick with your spirits
