Yeah, here’s one of my favorite resources.

Eek! I’m so sorry, I honestly didn’t see this ask sitting there! Please forgive my not getting to it sooner.

The first thing you need to know about communicating with spirits is that not everybody can do it. If you can, that’s great! But a lot of people can’t. (Just like a lot of people can’t swim, or weave baskets, or make a good cup of coffee.) But just like the people who can’t do those other things, there are other amazing talents out there. So if you can then go for it, and have fun with it. And if not... well, I can’t swim or weave baskets, either, but sure can make a damned fine cup of coffee. And you can do other things, too.

As far as materials, you need: you. And a willing spirit. And if you’re successful, eventually the cajones to tell them to shut the hell up and leave you alone for a while. You know that stereotypical little kid who asks “why” every 3-5 seconds from the moment they wake up to the time they fall asleep and even sometimes in their sleep? Spirits can get that way sometimes. OK, a lot. You will eventually tell them to shut up so you can sleep. Do it with authority. And flinging an alarm clock across the room hard enough to knock a hole in the wall, if you want to copycat me. 

As far as protecting yourself... That’s really a personal thing. What you’ve read about casting circles before calling on anything is very much a Wiccan-based thing and is a form of protection. It’s essentially (and VERY basically) drawing a circle around yourself and casting a protective spell/ward on the circle itself so that it creates a protective barrier between you and the outside. Or drawing the circle around a certain area - generally with some sort of focus like a symbol or a doll or something inside - and casting the protective spell/ward on the circle to keep whatever’s inside captive. For a lot of people it’s an absolutely essential step for safety. I’ve never done it because - to be frank - when I started communicating with spirits I couldn’t even eat spaghetti without having half of it end up on the floor. We’re talking preschool age, here. My circles were not circles. There was no access to any sort of spellwork or anything. No idea that sort of stuff even existed.

The protection you need is going to depend on what your personal strengths and weaknesses are. Do you have a good eye for discernment? Are you one of those people who can just character nearly instantaneously? Can you rain down destruction on your enemies (or the annoying neighbors)? Are you better at camouflage? These are a few things to consider. UPG alert: the spirits don’t necessarily see us as we see ourselves or each other. Some of my frequent visitors (commonly known around the house as the wanderers) view me as a small rodent-like creature, like a mouse or a vole. Others literally call me Mama Bear - and I don’t think they mean any type of “bear” we have on earth. These differences are from personal use of camouflage and glamours in the spiritual essence so they see what I want them to see. So once you figure out what you’re good at, use that to your advantage, and harness that for protection.

To actually get started and to contact a spirit, it comes down to knowing your strengths and weaknesses again. Can you see things? Hear things? Tingly sensations in your hands/arms/whatever? Weird tastes or smells from out of nowhere? You’ve got to figure out what you’re sensitive to. Taking myself as the example again, I can hear and feel things, and get tingly sensations, but can’t see anything. Or to be more accurate I can only see things that are literally withing a few inches of my face when it comes to spiritual stuff. One of the wanderers could be a foot away mooning me and I would never see it. So them trying to communicate that way just does not work well at all. Finding out what works for you and what you’re sensitive to is a huge step in the right direction. And from there... well... ask. 

Really. Literally. Ask. There are so many wanderers now because I keep asking. Every time I move into a new place - even just across the apartment complex - the first time I get a few minutes alone I stand in the middle of the room and introduce myself. “Hi, I’m moving in here, there’s like a bazillion other spirits that come and go. It’s just part of the territory with me around. They’re generally a pretty chill lot, but if you have any issues or want to get to know me better or whatever, will you please come talk? I can’t see you, but I can hear pretty well, and am super sensitive to emotions and electrical things, so those routes are open.” Or something along that line. And I make them a cup of coffee (because using what you’re good at is awesome) and leave it out. Sometimes the response is immediate. Sometimes it takes a few months. But eventually something comes forward and we end up hashing something out.

Honestly, my recommendation is as follows: 

figure out your strengths and weaknesses

figure out how to best use them to your advantage

start at home (especially if you’ve been there a while) - the spirits will be used to you and familiar with you, and might be more willing to come talk

don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t happen right away. Or at all. 

keep trying
