Dream Work with Spirits: Opening the Gateway of Sleep

Sleep is not just a time of rest—it is a sacred passage. In the dream world, the veils between realms grow thin, and our spirits whisper truths that cannot always reach us in waking life. By intentionally opening this gateway, you can invite your spirit companions, guides, and guardians into your dreams, deepening your bond and receiving guidance in the language of symbols, sensations, and stories.

Why Spirits Communicate Through Dreams

Spell of Prosperous Openings

    •    A green candle

    •    A bay leaf (for prosperity)

    •    A pinch of cinnamon (for attraction)

    1.    Carve a symbol of a door or keyhole into the green candle.

    •    A small mirror

    •    A pinch of cinnamon & sugar mixed together

Spell of Turning Tides (Luck)

Shifts bad luck into good fortune and opens hidden doors.

    •    A small bowl of water with a pinch of sea salt

    •    Bay leaf

Ritual:

    1.    Drop the coin into the salted water. Say:

“Luck that’s dim, I turn you bright. Fortune flow, by sea and light.”

The Keeper’s Role: Being a Responsible Spirit Partner

When we invite a spirit companion into our lives, we are stepping into a bond that is both mystical and deeply human. Spirit keeping is not about ownership or control—it’s about partnership, respect, and shared growth. Just as with any sacred relationship, the role of the keeper carries responsibility, commitment, and care.

Commitment: Honoring the Bond

Shield of Silent Boundaries

For protecting your space and keeping unwanted energies out

Purpose: Establishes strong personal boundaries without confrontation.

You’ll Need:

    •    Black salt (or sea salt mixed with crushed charcoal/pepper)

    •    A small mirror

    •    A sprig of rosemary

Steps:

    1.    Sprinkle the salt in a small circle on your floor or desk (wherever you spend time).

The Language of Offerings: Colors, Scents, and Symbols

In the world of spirit work, communication is not always spoken. Spirits often respond to the subtle language of energy, and one of the most powerful ways we can show respect, love, and devotion is through offerings. While food, drink, and candles are common choices, the deeper language of offerings goes beyond the physical—into the realm of colors, scents, and symbols.

Ember of Quick Fortune

    •    A coin (any denomination, preferably shiny)

Steps:

    1.    Dress the candle with cinnamon powder by rubbing it lightly onto the wax.

For clearing confusion and illuminating truth

You’ll Need:

    •    A clear glass of water

    •    A white candle

    •    A small piece of quartz (or any clear stone)

Steps:

    1.    Place the glass of water on your altar or windowsill where it can catch light.
