A spirit guide (or guardian, as I like to call them) is a spirit (or spirits) who are assigned (more or less) to guiding and guarding you throughout your life. Being able to speak with your guardian is important and powerful tool to working your magick.

Keep in mind- it is my belief that everyone has a spirit guardian, but how in tune with that guardian you are completely depends on you and your determination to become in tune with them.

Guides and guardians come from a long line of powerful spirits that are completely dedicated to your success. As their soul responsibility, the power your guardian will likely give you will be immense. As with my guardian, we have a deep understanding for each other, and our relationship stretches back to most of my human lives.

How To Find Your Guide/Guardian

Finding your Guide/Guardian is something that may take a little time. There are a few methods for trying to find your guardian, but, often, they will reveal themselves to you, often when you are in the most need.

Meditate- I know this seems to be my go-to answer for just about everything, but meditation truly allows us to think and feel outside of ourselves.

The Tarot- Again, I use a lot of tarot so it should come as no surprise that this is on the list. The tarot is not just useful for learning about the future, it can also be an excellent tool when searching for unseen answers in the present.

Any Divination Method- And on that note, any sort of divination method can be used and have the same affect.

A Spell- One crafted to bring your Spirit Guide and Guardian to you. 

A Sigil- You may even craft a sigil to the same purpose.

Now, here are a couple fact:

Your spirit guide/guardian is NOT a ghost. Ghosts are usually the souls of the living that have yet to pass on to the next life. For your Guardian, this IS their life. 

Your spirit guide/guardian is probably very similar to an angel, though not entirely.

Spirit guardians can be placed to watch over things and places as well as people.

Communication with your guardian may be tricky at first, but does get easier.

You may have more than one. This is not a reflection on how inexperienced/”stupid” you are. Many people who are very gifted witches have more than one, but their path requires them to face dangers that require that extra help. If you happen to have more than one Guardian, consider yourself extremely lucky!

Guardians usually follow a hierarchy of sorts. Many of them have lived human lives in the past (or lives in other realms) and have been elevated to the “position” of Guardian. I’m not entirely sure who gives them this “promotion”- perhaps they choose it for themselves.

Your Guide/Guardian can teach you many things regarding magick. My Guardian has given me entire spells before.

Your Guardian can lend you extra energy and focus in spells- use them.

Now, some warnings:

Be careful who you give your Guardian’s name to. Their name is often used to summon them, and, while they usually only adhere to your summons, having their name can give an incredible amount of power to anyone who knows how to use it.

Your Guardian is not infallible! Sometimes, just like us, they make mistakes. Which means that sometimes, when working with your guardian, it will require patience on your part. 

Your Guardian also requires love and attention! I know this sounds weird, but over time you will develop quite a strong relationship and bond with your Guardian.

Your Guardian is still a fully autonomous entity! Do not treat them like a slave!
