Frequently Asked Questions
Below are several questions that I have been asked many times.
Last updated Feb. 07, 2005

Q: I tried what you said to do, but nothing happened. Why?
A: There are a number of possible reasons for this, the most common is that your personal energies at the moment are not "clean" or that the energies in the room are muddied. See below for methods of spiritual cleansing and how to fill the room with white light. Use one of the cleansing techniques then fill the room with white light and try again.

Q: When we visualize we close our eyes, do we keep our eyes close throughout the meeting?
A: No, you don't have to keep your eyes closed. It is hard to write notes while your eyes are closed and your notes are important .

Q: Won't it affect the connection with your spirit guides when you pause to take down notes in between conversations with them?
A: Pausing to take down notes won't hurt a thing. They are very understanding and very patient. They also want to be sure that you get it right.

Q: Do we need to cast a circle for this meeting?
A: I am not a Wiccan and have never cast a circle in my life, but I do fill the room with white light. So you do not have to cast a circle, but it won't hurt.

Q: In the first contact, will the touch mean that all your spirit guides are responsible for the sensation that you'll receive? Does the touch mean that all your Spirit Guides are there with you?
A: During the first contact, that initial touch will just be a general "We are here" sensation for you. It may be all of them working together or just one answering for all. During that initial contact, generally all of them will be there, but it is possible that one or more of them will not actually make contact with you at this time, simply because you are not yet ready to work with them.

Q: Is it possible that one could have more than 7 Spirit Guides?
A: Yes, it is possible that one could have more than 7 Guides, but it is very unlikely. If you are to be the next messiah, or are slated to introduce the next major religion to mankind, or are slated to go into politics and will end up uniting the world under a single united government, then you would need more than 7 Guides. The number of Guides that you have is determined by your life mission. If you are to be working with a lot of people, you will have more than if you are to be working mostly with objects. I have been helping people from the USA and Canada, from Europe, and from the Far East and I only have 7 Guides.

Q: How would you know if your first meeting with your Spirit Guides - if the spirits that present themselves to you are not just some stray spirits and are your real Spirit Guides? How can you be sure?
A: Good question. If you Spiritually cleanse thoroughly and fill the room with white light before attempting to contact your Guides, that will keep out any negative entities, and your Guides will keep any wandering spirits that happen to be passing through from trying to make contact with you. If you don't know how to spiritually cleanse, see the descriptions below.

Q: How can you keep out evil spirits while you are meeting your guides?
A: Another good question. And the answer is the same as to the question just above this one.

Q: You mentioned that your Spirit Guides were chosen by you before you were born, how then would it be possible to have new spirit guides?
A: Yes, your Spirit Guides were chosen by you before you were born. It is possible, as I mentioned above that you will not make contact with one or more of your Guides at the first meeting because you are not ready to work with them, but you will be told about them. Once in a while, you may get an extra Guide that will come to work with you for a while for some special purpose. If this happens, before you even think about accepting them, check them out with your known team of Spirit Guides before you accept anything from them!!!

Q: How do I know that the thoughts that I hear in my head are really my Guides and not just my imagination and my own thoughts?
A: Another good question. In time their thoughts will "sound" different to you than your own thoughts, but until you develop that discernment, there is another way that you can tell the difference. Try asking them to say, "(Your name), we love you." Then start counting, "one, two, three, four, five." If what you hear in your mind is like this, "One, (your name), two, we, three, love, four, you, five...", then that is you and your imagination. Notice that the words go through your mind one at a time. If on the other hand what you "hear" is like the following:
"One,……….....two,...three,...four,...five..."
"(your name).....we.....love......you.
Then that is not your imagination. Notice that the words come in one on top of the other, "spoken" at the same time. The counting is you and the other is your Guides.

Q: My friends and I intend to do this at our next coven meeting. Is that a good idea?
A: No. I have introduced many people to their Guides in person and have always insisted that there be no one else in the room with us. The presence of other people and their energies can interfere with what you are trying to do.

Q: I tried what you said, I even cleansed until I felt chills and goose bumps all over me, but still, nothing happened. Why?
A: It is possible that you are trying too hard or that you are nervous. Relaxation is vital here. Use the link below to find the "Quiet Meditation" to help you relax. If that doesn't work, you can use the comments section in my Guest Book to ask further questions.

Q: Could your Spirit Guides, like, you know, hurt you?
A: Absolutely not! Your Spirit Guides love you too much to even consider such a thing.

Q: I am just starting my study of Wicca. Is it too early for me to meet my Spirit Guides?
A: Wicca, like Christianity, is a religious thing. Meeting your Spirit Guides is a spiritual thing and has nothing to do with your religion or how far you have gotten into it. I was an atheist when I first met my Spirit Guides. Of course, that state didn't last long after that meeting.

Q: What happens if your guides get mad at you?
A: I have been working with Spirit Guides, my own and other peoples for more than 30 years. I have never known any Spirit Guide to get mad at anyone. They may get frustrated if you insist on playing games and refuse to communicate with you until you decide to stop playing games and get serious, but they won't be mad with you. And they have a great sense of humor, they like a good joke as well as the next person.

Q: My mind is constantly going, I can't seem to quiet it for meditation or anything else. Can you help?
A: Sure. Try this. Concentrate on your nose. Well, not really on your nose, but on the air flowing in and out through your nose. Put all of your attention on that air. If a thought enters your head, don't try to supress it, or pay any attention to it, just let it pass on through. Ignore it completely. You should soon find that your mind is quiet and peaceful.
