Spirits of place, Gatekeepers and Guardians: How to find them and work with them.

Hi! Today we’re going to be talking about Genius Loci, otherwise known as Spirit of Place, and Gatekeepers and Guardians, plus the difference between them according to most folklore and through my personal experiences. We’ll go into The Who, what, where and why of them, and also how these spirits are believed to come to exist. I’m also giving you my personal ritual for working with them based on folklore, and hopefully some inspiration for you to craft your own, and understand and really listen to the land and spirits around you. I hope good things happen to you!
