Great AMA discusion from Jason Miller on his book Consorting with Spirits. Highly recommend, for beginners and advance alike.
Consorting with Spirits
Re: Consorting with Spirits
I just got my copy and am working my way through. I'll likely be giving a review in the next few weeks. My favorite quote from the book so far:
"Some people get into magic so they can experience spirits speaking to them, and others get into magic because they need to make the spirits shut up." Chapter 3, Spirit Skills
