Smudging a fancy word for burning is the first step to many rituals and spells — but not when it comes to contacting ghosts. Since sage is used for clearing, ghosts interpret sage as a request to leave a space.
If you sage and then try to communicate, the ghosts will likely get annoyed by your mixed messages and, if it does show up, either be cranky or despondent.
Even the most industrious ghosts rely on conduits to deliver messages. As you're preparing to make contact with the dead, set up several different conductors within the space.
Historically, ghosts have been known to communicate through candle flames, liquid water in a glass may ripple when a spirit is present , and scent. Audio and video recording devices are also effective conductors and can be used in real-time to aid transmission.
Just as the living have preferences, the dead may prefer some devices over others, so make sure to have several options available.
It's great to treat the dead with reverence, but there's no reason to embarrass yourself by speaking in a fake, antiquated dialect. Drop the olden talk, and communicate with spirits authentically. Of course, it's important to be respectful, so use thoughtful words don't make any demands and a calm tone throughout the dialogue.
Be direct, and communicate exactly what you would like to say and what you're experiencing. Most ghosts don't want to scare you and the ones that use fear tactics are often just being mischievous , so if something makes you nervous, let them know in a strong, yet peaceful intonation that you're afraid.
Usually, they'll then move to another conductor that is less obtrusive. Last summer, I coerced my friends into using an Ouija board. Although our session yielded no distinctive results, there was an undeniably eerie tone to the planchette's slow movement across the black letters and its assertive answer when it abruptly slid to "GOODBYE. But since Ouiji boards are complete with letters and numbers, it's easy for ghosts to, quite literally, spell out their messages.
If the commercial aspect of the Ouija board cramps your style, go ahead and make your own! Sure, our fear of ghosts has been perpetuated by horror movie tropes. But, in actuality, a fear of ghosts ultimately reflects our relationship with mortality. It's not easy to accept death; it's painful, heartbreaking, and scary. Connecting with the spirit world, however, explores the impertinence of the physical realm.
Otherwise, all you need concerning supplies is a round or oval table, candle, and food. Both the candles and food are believed to attract spirits who are looking for warms and sustenance. When hosting your meeting, proceed with caution and patience to get the best results.

Cedar has been used for rites of banishing, cleansing, purification, exorcism in every single part of the planet where it grows for at least 5, years.
Another one for burning that is great is palo santo, as long as you get the legal, verified kind. They are sticks of wood that smell incredible, and come from the tree that produces the resin known as copal, which is what they burn in Catholic mass. For protection, one of the easiest things you can do is grab a jug of olive oil off the counter, make the sign of the cross three times, recite Psalm 23, and boom, you have holy oil.
Around the full moon, maybe it will be time to clean your house, and what you can do is brew herbs into an infusion. Add that to a mop bucket, or even better, literally splash on the floor and use a Swiffer Wetjet from the very back of your house to the front door.
It really depends on you and your beliefs. When it comes to anything psychic, cultures usually associate that with the sun or moon. For example, in ancient Greek culture, it was associated with the sun because Apollo was considered to be the deity of prophecy. But the moon was in charge of witchcraft, and those were the times that you would see someone practicing what we know as necromancy.
Cartomancy is divination using cards. Necromancy is divination by talking to spirits. It really depends on you and your comfort level. Remember that every decision that you make should be a conscious, critical decision. And what you have to remember is that so much of witchcraft is about trying things and seeing what works.
For me, the more the merrier. But you want to go into it with people who may not share the same opinion, but can agree on a common level of decorum. You can all go in as skeptics—go ahead, have fun—but just make sure that everyone goes in with the same agreed-upon amount of respect and reverence. This is not the time to wing it. You really want to make sure you have a game plan.
Look at your moon sign. In choosing your tool, go with your gut. If you are someone who wants to go as objective as possible, maybe you use a pendulum, which only answers yes-or-no or either-or questions. What you want to stay away from is anything that is supposed to be channeled through you.
