If you do magic, pray, or venerate your ancestors, you are working with spirits. If you seek information or guidance through channeling, through mediumship, or through the words and visions of mystics, you are also working with the beings of the subtle realms. Spirit Speak presents a unified system for understanding a broad range of nonphysical beings that we call spirits. Dominguez is able to make complex ideas accessible, through analogy and example, without oversimplifying. This comprehensive book can be understood and appreciated by readers from all different faiths, backgrounds, and levels of experience. It explores concepts such as: * spiritual lineage * the assumption of god forms * divine embodiment * the limits and potential for many spiritual practices. A hidden classic in many spiritual communities for years, Spirit Speak is now available with new material and fresh insights.

"This book is helpful to anyone wanting to explore the concepts of drawing down, aspecting or possession, dealing with the disincarnate, and plumbing the concept of magical contacts. Dominguez also gives advice on helping others through such experiences, making this a valuable resource for teachers, priestesses, and counselors. There is information here that I, in 25 years of magical study, had not readily encountered before." --T. Thorn Coyle, author of Evolutionary Witchcraft
"This is the `nuts and bolts' of working with spirits. Mr. Dominguez covers it all in depth--from explaining the different forms of spirit, the different levels of working relationships, and the different types of contact we can experience, to successfully connecting to and separating ourselves from spirits. With clear separation of fact and fantasy, very detailed discussion, and solid-based research, Mr. Dominguez presents the community with a working textbook on spirits." --Boudica, twpt.com
