@Mars007 if you have Trouble communicating with Spirits maybe try this following method. I just got done with the first three and it was awesome.
If you haven’t gone through @Mike_Bee e-book, I would suggest doing to right away. It’s a literal gold mine and will do your magickal practice a world of good.
I would also go through Mike’s evocation thread to maybe refine your practices and probably find that sweet spot you’re looking for. I use this as a skeletal framework for my evocation process and then added my own elements to make it work for me. Evoke often, meditate everyday and sooner than later you’ll have success.
