Hello! I Have Been A Long Time Without Practicing Witchcraft, So I Am A Bit Rusty. Ive Been Wanting To

Hello! I have been a long time without practicing witchcraft, so I am a bit rusty. I’ve been wanting to do some Otherworld journeying, and I was wondering if you’d feel comfortable sharing how you usually go about doing that? Do you enter a trance, and if so how do you go about doing it? Are you with spirits the whole time, or are you ever alone? If I’m prying too much, please feel free to tell me to get lost!

I do go into a trance as part of my traveling process, but I'll be honest, I don't know if my method will work for anyone else. I use the pain of my CRPS as a focus, like some people use drums or mantras. I spend most of my time trying to block out my pain, but when I'm trancing I let it wash over me until it's all that I'm aware of. I dive down deep into it until I come out the other side of the maelstrom in the Otherworlds. I understand that this method is not for everyone, but outside of getting into the trance I have some more tips and methods at the links below:

Spirit Meeting Recording - The first part of this guided meditation is basically an audio version of the first link.

Once I'm in the Otherworlds I actually do spend a lot of time alone. I have certain responsibilities and duties in the Otherworlds. Those sometimes means walking the boundaries of the regions or domains I am responsible for by myself, or wandering around those domains checking in on Things or Folks. Usually once I'm done with these "chores" I'll have a political or social visit to make, and that's when I'll spend more time around spirits. Or if I don't have visits to make I'll spend time with Oisin or one of the other Forgotten Ones.

Holy shit you guys I got barefoot shoes for the first time and have worn them outside for a grand total of 1 hour and I never ever want to take them off

Accidentally ruined a mr spider's incredibly impressive web because he managed to make it between my exterior wall and a package I got yesterday and I just. Stuck my hand right in there. Didn't even see it. Then I couldn't convince him to evacuate the cardboard so I ended up just opening the package right there and letting him have the box.

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.
