Over the
years I got acquainted with with quite a few Spirit helpers. Most of
them people who pasted away a long, long time ago. And with a long
time I mean more than a 1000 or even 2000 years. A few of them I know
by name and they were the ones who gave me my name.
I met them
during seidhr trances, singing while holding my staff. And I met them
during utisetta trances, meditating on neolithic burial mounts.
I called them and asked them to teach me, which some of them did. I learned some useful techniques and some other things, way out of my comfort zone.
So, yes I can call Spirits and talk with them, learn from them. I did it out of curiosity, to train myself and because I started liking it. It's a special energy that feels good and comfortable to me.
Some years ago I could make good use of all this knowledge, when I worked daily with an ancient energy spot in the old centre of Amsterdam. It was a weird, spooky place and at the same time beautiful and wonderful. I created an energetic tunnel for all the wandering souls who passed there in an endless parade towards the Summer land and I made a truce with those who wanted to stay. This made it possible for the lovely energy of the leycentre to flow more freely and grow stronger and stronger. It was a truly wonderful work.

I didn't
do all this work by myself. I got help from another shaman who
summoned some powerful helping spirits for me. He was, at that time,
the caretaker of the Stonehenge Skull, a skull carved from a piece of
sarson stone, left behind after the restoration of Stonehenge in the
'50.
In a
powerful ceremony 4 guardians stepped forward to hold the energy in
the 4 directions. I made them a place to stay and fed them regularly.
It only lasted for a few months. When the energies were all nicely balanced, the affairs of living humans, a bankruptcy to be precise, spoiled everything. We had to leave in a hurry and my shaman friend called back the guardians, who were connected to the Stonehenge Skull.
I admit I was very disappointed and a little angry, but on the other hand I knew very well that nothing happens without a reason. Even though I would have loved to continue this work, apparently what had to be done at that time, was done.
To me it
all seems like ages ago now. So many things happened since then.
Some of my Spirit helpers are with me when I do readings, or they work through me when I give healing. And I keep an altar for them in my house temple. But over the years I started to neglect them more and more. Specially this last year, after I took up the study of Vedanta, I hardly ever contacted them. Until some weeks ago.
All of a sudden I felt the urge to test my abilities. Don't ask me why, I can't really explain, but I wanted to make contact with the Spirit of a historical figure, from another time, another culture and a place on the other side of the globe.
After proper preparation I build an appropriate altar. And because this spirit has the potential to be very powerful and rather nasty, I asked for support from all my trusted friends in the Spirit world.
Usually when I cast a circle I greet and invite the powers of the quarters, but I only ask for the protection of Thor. This time I heard myself call for the protection of the Guardians in all 4 directions.
And there they were! I recognized their energy with tears in my eyes.

They came
walking towards me from afar, just like they used to years ago. And
they stood guard, protecting silly me.
All my
Spirit helpers were there, greeting, watching, circling around me. I
never felt so save, so comfortable, so loved, so grateful.
And yes, I did contact the foreign king. And, a few days later, I apologised for bothering him for no good reason. He said it amused him, so no real harm was done there.

What I
have to figure out now is:
Why I do have this talent?
Why do these spirits keep hanging around and support me, while I neglect them?
What are they waiting for?
What on earth am I supposed to do with all the things I learned?

Different relationships need different kinds of tending. What on Earth are you supposed to do? Live with the certainty of these relationships. They are no longer new. Like with certain friends, even when we don't see each other or speak often, the connection remains.
