If i recall correctly, foxes can be very territorial in general so it actually kinda makes sense she wouldnt like being with another fox haha. Its so amazing to hear about your process though, im learning alot about spirit work in general so this helps a ton!!
In my British tradition, house spirits specifically (called Brownies in Scotland) are often given offerings of milk and other dairy products, and also porridge. I have the worst memory so my offerings are sporadic at best, but I try to offer at least every couple of week! And definitely maintaining a tidy house is a good way to keep your spirits (including you yourself!) happy. If only I was better at doing that!
I think the animistic views and spirit considerations have really contributed to my minimalist style as well. I am really conscious about what is coming in, how it works with what I am doing, with the other spirits that already inhabit my spaces, and thinking long term with it. I loved hearing your views as well. Good topic and conversation!
hey Frankie! would you be willing to do a video on "intro to spirit communication"? I am eager to learn more about how to communicate with my plants that I work with in my practice. Thanks in advance for any consideration 🫶
Your “I throw out plants with fungus gnats because I refuse to deal with that again” feels a lot like Crowley’s “black spots” monologue with his plants in Good Omens 😂
This has been incredibly helpful and insightful! My ability to communicate and perceive spirits is very weak sauce, so hearing about how someone actually goes about it with real world examples is so helpful! It's good to know that the way I have been going about it has not been that far off. Thank you! ❤
This was so helpful! I had been wanting to work with an animal spirit for a while particularly with a skull but every opportunity that arose just didn't feel right but last week I stopped into a shop that had a big shelf of ethically sourced natural death skulls and I could feel something tugging me there as a browsed but none caught my eye as right, right before I was ready to leave I happened to drop my phone and as I bent down I saw one possum skull by itself and something clicked so I brought it home. I've been trying to figure out the best way to set up a space to honor and welcome it so that it has a place to call its own when I begin working with it. The funniest part is the very next day my brother walked up to me with something he bought me while he was away and it was a possum sticker
As a houseplant mama, the philos and pothos in my lil clan love being with each other for me, too. I also experience this the most with plants. I have one in particular that I got because it was beautiful, but it immediately informed me that it would be here to help protect me, and it actually stays on my PC desk, that gets light, but not a ton of it, and it is thriving that way. So I'm like 🤷🏼♀ okay! 😂 I will not argue haha. Just barely touching the surface with animals, still so much to learn. I have a particular necklace with a wolf head, and it feels like a wolf spirit attached to it, and she is very bright and happy and also fiercely protective. She likes being placed in the sun to be cleansed usually, or to help her charge, which I do my best to do for her. I have a few rabbit furs as well, and there is one in particular that is similar in energy, and she is a very happy bunny. She stays with my Aphrodite altar for the most part. Loved this! Validating to my own experiences 😊
I work with so many spirits ive had to set it up so they can come an go in my home freely. There are rules like if they have any malice they cant cross my wards and if they cause issues for any of the house members their sent back to the property line. My servitor grounds keeper is also the door man lol he also is responsible for charging my wards as i charge him. But I get so many messages from all kind of spirits that it would be so overwhelming to have to grant access or meet them at the line for each one.
This video was incredibly helpful and I would love to see the degreasing process! You have such beautiful relationships with each spirit you work with, thank you for sharing parts of those relationships with us.
This reminds me of Marie Kondo. Her show on Netflix actually brings me to tears because of the improvement in relationships people have with all the things in their home.
It’s really crazy to me bc I am bringing in a spirit for the first time soon and as soon as I ordered the bones this video got posted- like no joke I ordered the bones yesterday and literally an hour later this video got posted
I do a similar process with deities I work with, and other animal spirits I work with along with pop culture deities as well. I find the Flash and Hermes like to hang out with each other but still like their own spaces to chill out and decompress.
I loved this video, I find myself leaning toward animism and this video really connected with me. What books do you recommend for someone that wants to learn more?
How do you communicate and ask questions to the spirits of the animals and the plants?? Is it intuition or is it through readings? I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to communicate with the spirits in my home. I’ve been going off of souly intuition and gut instinct. I’m feeling a little crazy speaking to the voice inside my head sometimes 😅🤣
See, I’ll just can’t bring plants into my house, especially if they’re spirits associated with them because I would be killing them all very quickly. 😅. I seriously have never in my entire life been able to keep an indoor plant living.
I used to be like this! I'm still learning but I've managed to keep an orchid alive for 3 years and an aloe for 2! I talk to them, give them crushed eggshells and crystals as offerings etc. If they look a bit poorly I either move them to a sunny spot or into the shade. I watch for signs of what they need but also try and tap into my intuition, its getting easier! Start with 1 plant, give it love, you've got this ❤
I'd like to know of the song playing during the video has a layer of people speaking/whispering. Not sure if this is purposely but I heard it strongest when you picked up the first plant.....uh idk.
I AGREE 💯 THEY ALL have spirit's AND personalities as well 💜 I always think 1st WHAT lighting do they WANT and need ❤ I haven't had a prayer plant since RITE before I had My daughter Alexandria and she is 24 lol I MISS IT! And I've not been gifted one SINCE. I have a resurrection plant but I have NEVER had one, which side is UP??!! LOL I CAN'T TELL WHAT IS ROOTS!! ALSO have U ever had Saint Expedite come in?? MY norm is Saint Rita and Saint Philomena ❤❤ MY GIRL'S ❤❤ Much love frm the South 💜💜🌴🌴💜💜 BTW 😂😂 I always comment BEFORE the video is OVER!! SO YES U ANSWERED MY QUESTION!! 😂😂 🩷🩷🪄✨🪄✨🪄✨🧹🧹🧹👑👑👑🩷🩷🩷
So, what if for instance a person accidentally steals an acorn during Winter Solstice because they forget to return said acorn during the Spring Equinox? Like, maybe they forgot to return the acorn and decide they want to keep it? Is this a bad thing?
Frankie, can a Kachina Doll have a good spirit in it ? I've placed the Morning singer Kachina Doll on the top of a small entertainment center that's in my bedroom .... Can a ArchAngel also be a Guardian Angel as well?
Hi, I'm not Frankie but I can have some answers: 1. Most dolls and human-shaped figurines are excelent vessel for spirits, and given significance that Kashina Dolls hold to Hopi people it's even more likely. But you should deffinitely read more about them (I'm not NA so I can just point you to right direction) 2. About angels. I don't work with them much (and for me it's viewed through lenses of planetary magic and somewhat catholic upbringing) but some of my fellow practitioners are. From what I understand mostly guardian angels are beings of lower rank than Archangel, but they are parts of "units" that are under specific archangel lead. So basically if guardian angel is not enough in the given situation, you call their boss for reinforcements :) Hope that helps
So if animism is everything has a spirit does that mean clothes and food? What abt synthetic materials? If food and clothes have a spirit are they uncomfortable with being eaten/worn?
Also with things that represent another spirit like sympathetic magic does that mean it has its own spirit and the spirit of what it represents or only what it represents or?
This is such an amazing and fascinating question, and it truly depends on your practice and belief set. Some people believe only natural things have spirits, but I actually believe that depending on how many people give energy/engage with something, it gives it a spirit. To me, Iron has a spirit while others may not think it does. I also believe that all social medias have their own spirits.
My computer definitely has mind of his own :). I think it depends both on personal beliefs and relation you have with particular device. There are people who believe that only natural objects can have spirit, but there people who include lot of man-made objects as potential vessels for spirits (i.e. dolls, figurines, toys, tools). If you follow that logic, if those object can have spirit, why electronic device can't? Only you can decide where you're drawing a line. You can believe that everything has spirit or believe that just some man-made objects can have spirits in particular circumstances (i.e. "not all dolls have spirits, but some do"). My computers and phones definitely have personalities and attitudes - as my uncle says "computer is a human too". They respond to threats, I count that as self-preservation instinct :)
Sometimes, yes. I have a few spirits that kinda like to wander (mostly the foxes) or "fuck off until they're needed" and it makes it seem less crowded.

i’d love to see a video about house spirits from you
Omg me too!!! I'm researching about them but didn't found much information :(
I would if they talked about them and how to start a relationship with
Same here! I have a spirit in my house that is very sweet but idk what I should do to connect with her more.
If i recall correctly, foxes can be very territorial in general so it actually kinda makes sense she wouldnt like being with another fox haha. Its so amazing to hear about your process though, im learning alot about spirit work in general so this helps a ton!!
This makes so much sense in so many ways. Thank you!

This video came at a very very convenient time for me...too convenient lol
Funny how it always seems to work that way 🙂
Your “I throw out plants with fungus gnats because I refuse to deal with that again” feels a lot like Crowley’s “black spots” monologue with his plants in Good Omens 😂
I love this!!! Everything has a spirit! I talk to my plants all the time, and I listen when they tell me what they need.
The more pagan I am becoming, the more animistic I am becoming too. So I love these videos!! Thanks for making this video Frankie!! Love yaa

Lovely video Frankie! Id love a video on how you incorporate your animals into your practice? Such as your dog or cat.
I love your videos! :)💕

As a beginning blacksmith/animist(?), I would love to hear any insight you have on engaging with iron!
How do you release a spirit from a object?
Super interesting thank you for this:)

I do a mix of both! I like to go off intuition mostly, which takes time and practice, but also confirm with divinatory rituals.
See, I’ll just can’t bring plants into my house, especially if they’re spirits associated with them because I would be killing them all very quickly. 😅. I seriously have never in my entire life been able to keep an indoor plant living.

How do you differentiate between a spirit and energy especially for cleansing purposes?
What is the prairie dog spirit like? I'm curious because I'm surrounded by SO MANY prairie dogs in my new house.

Where is a good place to buy ethnically sourced bones and skulls?
this may be a obvious question or something I should know, but I am just starting and I am wondering how to tell if your spirit wants to be alone

Did you give mandrake your blood to connect to it?
I did not with this particular root! This is a good question though, and actually reminds me a lot of "Cunning Words" by Marshall WSL.
This might be a dumb question, but do digital devices have spirits? Like my Kindle or Tamagotchi?

Random question. Does your house/ space ever feel crowded?
Sometimes, yes. I have a few spirits that kinda like to wander (mostly the foxes) or "fuck off until they're needed" and it makes it seem less crowded.
