Let's talk spirit guides...

Leila's response to my rambling thoughts thread has me thinking...
Do you have a conscious relationship with a spirit guide? Or more than one? How did you find them? Or did they find you? How do you communicate? How often?
This seems to be a direction I need to move in... any advice you'd care to share? Recommended reading? Tips? Techniques?








I know I have spirit guides because they are always there to help me when
Are guides kind of like Totem Animals? I have totem animals that have been my "guides" for some years. I have one for each of the four directions and honor them on my altar. I use my Wolf Cards for readings and when an animal totem keeps appearing to me, like the crows did last summer, then I look up the messages the totem may bring. It's kind of an informal thing, though. The animal totem makes the first move. As I learn to be more open to "messages" and more aware in detail of my surroundings, especially nature, I see more.
My Goddess and God are my steady "guides," in that I "talk" with them everyday. And intuitive thoughts help guide me through the day, or through decisions I need to make.

I don't feel like I have a connection with my spirit guide, I think I could benefit from a little one on one tho. I feel like I need a little help pointing myself in the right direction and give me some comfort in my day to day life. This may be what I am missing in my life, I have felt a bit incomplete these days.
Maybe not.
My stepdad- 'Daddy Bob'- was a brilliant lawyer, and a dad in a way I didn't know a man could be, all despite being paralyzed by polio as a child from his neck down. He was a beautiful soul. He died when I was eleven years old. I'll never forget that the last time I saw him alive he was blue- as in the color of the rainbow blue, no exaggeration. I knew then he wasn't coming home. I didn't cry for a long time, but wrote something for his funeral that his sister read for me, as I wasn't able.
I talk to Daddy Bob frequently. Sometimes I yell at him for leaving me alone in this world, other times I ask him for guidance, and sometimes I beg him for favors or signs or to make things easier. Like any good dad, he helps me when it's appropriate and simply guides me when I need to learn on my own.
My Gram Jeannette is another spirit guide. She was a beautiful woman who endured raising four kids and a rather cranky husband. She understands. :-)
The only spirit guide (besides my ramblings to God) that I have never met face-to-face is my Uncle Tommy. He died when my mom was 13 years old. He's the only person on her side of the family I've ever felt connected to. He was a musician and a writer, and an amazing people person. The only things I've ever believed to be strengths in myself are my writing and my people skills.
I miss them. But they're still here whenever I need them. Even when I yell at them.
