A Guide to Spirit Boards: Choosing, Using, and Deepening Your Practice
Spirit boards are more than tools — they are sacred bridges between realms, created for those who seek clarity, connection, and intuitive empowerment. Whether you’re new to spirit communication or deepening a long-standing practice, this guide will help you move with intention, safety, and reverence.
We’ll walk you through choosing the right spirit board for your path, setting up rituals with care, and incorporating complementary tools that amplify your work — so your experience is personal, protected, and powerful.
🌀 Choosing the Right Spirit Board for Your Practice
Your spirit board should reflect your intuition, values, and the kind of energy you wish to call in. Look for craftsmanship, symbolism, and materials that resonate with your path. Are you drawn to boards that reflect elemental correspondences? Protective sigils? Let your inner knowing guide your choice.
Whether you’re drawn to the spiral energy of the serpent, the transformational beauty of butterflies, the protective wisdom of the barn owl, or the sacred geometry of the Seed of Life, your board becomes a mirror of your spiritual focus.
Each La Lumière Verte spirit board is full-sized and handcrafted with deep intention — engraved in walnut or cedar for their protective and divinatory properties, and finished with symbol-rich artwork to hold and guide your energy. Looking for something uniquely yours? We also offer fully custom designs that can reflect your personal symbols, guides, or pathworking focus.
Questions to ask yourself:
What kind of spirit communication am I seeking — guidance, ancestral connection, artistic channeling, all of the above?
Which symbols, shapes, or natural elements am I most drawn to in my spiritual practice?
What kind of energy do I want this board to hold — grounding, transformative, protective, visionary?
Will this spirit board live on a permanent altar, or be part of seasonal or lunar rituals that change throughout the year?
Am I seeking a design that reflects an existing spiritual path — or one that invites me to step into something new?

🕯 Creating a Safe & Sacred Spirit Board Ritual
Before you begin, create a protected space. This can be as simple or elaborate as your practice calls for — what matters is your intention.
We always recommend:
Cleansing the space with smoke, sound, or water
Grounding yourself before and after
Calling in protection (with symbols, guardians, or energy fields that feel authentic to your practice)
Asking only for energies that are in service to your highest good
Spirit boards are most powerful when used within a circle of respect and clarity. Think of it as setting a boundary around your sacred conversation.

🔮 Complementary Tools to Support Your Work
You don’t need anything beyond your intuition and protection to begin — but intentional tools can deepen your ritual and help guide your energy.
Here are a few we recommend for spirit communication work:
Pendulums for yes/no clarity and checking the energy of your space
Herbs like mugwort or rosemary for spiritual clarity and protection
Candles dressed with oils or sigils to anchor the ritual’s purpose
Divination runes to interpret and expand upon messages received
Dreamwork tools to extend communication through the subconscious
When chosen with intention, every element of your altar becomes part of a larger rhythm — anchoring your work in clarity and connection, aligning your physical space with your spiritual path, supporting your ritual flow.

A Practice in Becoming
This is your sacred work. Your ritual is a reflection of you — shaped by your intuition, your symbols, your rhythm. Ask with sincerity and openness. Listen in stillness. Engage with reverence and respect. Whether your focus is on spirit allies, ancestral messages, or intuitive insight, what matters most is how you show up to the ritual. Evolve your practice in sacred relationship with the tools you welcome into it, and your tools will rise to meet you.
