How to embark on the journey of working with a spirit or deity
What steps are you taking to cultivate deep listening and understanding of the symbolic language of spirits or deities?
Jessica Howard, an author and a mentor who has been a practicing witch for over 20 years, joins Lian to explore the experience of feeling a call from a particular spirit, element, deity, or being and the mythical journey it can take you on. Jessica shares her personal journey with water and how she was called to work with the element, and Lian shares her own with the Oak and Rose.
They discuss how to recognise the call, the language of spirits, and the use of symbolism in communication. Finally, they reflect on the gifts and benefits of working with spirits, including a deeper connection to oneself and the world.
We encountered some technical difficulties with Lian’s mic during this episode, which led us to debate whether to release it at all. Ultimately, Be Mythical decided that the content was too valuable to withhold. Despite the less-than-ideal audio quality, we believe the depth and richness of the conversation warrant its release exclusively on YouTube. We hope the visual aspect enhances your viewing experience, and subtitles are available for added clarity if you prefer. We’ve also provided a transcript here.
We’d love to know what YOU think about this show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.
What you’ll learn from this conversation:
Feeling a call from a spirit is a gradual process that may not have a singular defining moment - often we can more easily join the earlier dots when looking backward, and isn’t something spoken about in our modern culture. Trust yourself and take seriously what you’re feeling called to.
Working with spirits requires paying attention, deep listening, and learning their language, which is often symbolic and abstract.
The journey of working with spirits is a transformative experience that allows for self-illumination, growth, and a deeper connection to oneself and the world.
