Here's an odd lesson I learned recently. A little background info, I really dislike when you ask someone for advice on anything Magick related to only get back "well it's up to you/it's whatever you want it to be/it's unique to you." If you've made it this far, you probably already know this. This answer is a cop out. When someone asks a question like this they are doing research. It's perfectly acceptable to hammer home the point that they should find "their" version but only if you are also giving examples. Spark that creative flame to get them thinking. Anyways, I have had a very difficult time trying to communicate with my spirits with clarity. Or should I say in a way that does not feel like I am speaking to myself. A few nights ago I was having a Tourette's flare up. It hit me that since I don't have control over my spasms anyway I could ask questions that way. I personally jerk my head as one of my main ticks. I set the states as left = no right = yes. I started having tremendous results in communicating. The lesson to pull from this is "Invent your own method". Research is great and other methods have power. However the best method you will find is one you create. Whether you ask your spirits to tap you on other the shoulders, quick sketches, randomly singing spontaneously, or maybe flipping through channels on a tv/radio. Anything you want is likely to work as long as you set the rules and communicate them clearly. Advice on who to contact is a discussion for another time.

Isn’t it funny when that happens! I know we say “do what feels right for you, trust your instinct, experiment.” and yes I am sure it gets mundane and frustrating to hear, but we say it for a reason lol. I am so glad you found your own way to make spirit communication work for you! Who knew that your Tourette’s would be your best chance to the spirit world! Also thank you for writing this because like you said if you are going to say find what works for you at least add an example. I myself do add an example but I know many don’t. I think they the reason they don’t is because they don’t want to influence your choice on what works for you. But when you are new and just getting your footing examples from coven members are just as important as doing your own research. Again I am so glad you found your own individual way to communicate with the spirits, and thank you for your take on how it feels when we all say “just do what feels right for you“, because when you are new you don’t know what feels right and what doesn’t until you start experimenting and trying different things. Have a great day! And I wish you all the best in communicating With the spirits! And remember just keep experimenting and trying new things! You never know what you will come up with!
