Are you looking for a book on spirit guides that is comprehensive? If so, this may be for you. "Spirit Associates" explores spirit guides and other spirit allies, such as ancestor spirits, power animals, and more liberal topics, such as "mythological" spirit associates. Written by a long-time Spiritualist minister with extensive training and experience, "Spirit Associates" integrates traditional Spiritualist teachings with more modern thoughts, showing parallels and differences between the two approaches. Even though Spiritualism is discussed in-depth due to the foundational nature of spirit guide work, you will find that the book is lite in religious dogma. Additionally, special emphasis is placed on the basics necessary to begin or develop your relationships with your spirit family. Many exercises are included, as are templates that can be adapted to your spiritual paradigm. While this volume is a stand-alone work, it also ties in well with other books in the series by the same author, published by Immanion Press, such as "Spirit Relations," "Psychic Protection," and "Vocal Magick," making this a window into a larger picture and developmental system!
