Interviewing a Spirit:

Whenever we’re encountering a new spirit we’re thinking of working with, asking the right questions is important. Here’s a list of potential questions to ask that can be useful in figuring out their vibe and if they have a place in your practice.

• What is your name/what can I call you?
• Is there a name in my language for the type of being you are?
• What do/would you want from me?
• How do you sustain yourself? (aka, what do you “eat?”)
• What are you looking to gain/do/achieve? Short or long term.
• What do you think of humans?
• Do you agree to respect any boundaries I set?
• Would you like or require offerings from me?
• If so, what kinds of offerings do you like to receive?
• What are your favorite colors/smells/foods/sounds/etc.?
• Do you plan on staying around a long time or would any arrangement be temporary?
• Do you have any other loyalties? With whom? (It’s not always bad if they do, but it’s important to know.)
• Is there anything you dislike or are afraid of?
• What signs might you show me to let me know you’re there?
• Do you have/want an anchor? What kind?
• Do you have any particular talents?
• Is there anything you struggle to do?
