In this episode of The Sacred Places Podcast, I welcome witch, teacher, and author Ivo Dominguez Jr. to share the wisdom of more than fifty years of magical practice. With the newly updated release of his classic book Spirit Speak, Ivo reflects on what it means to communicate with spirits, especially the spirits of place, who first spoke to him as a young practitioner. Together, we explore the value of silence, the instinctive ways humans connect with the unseen, and why science might just be another way of explaining magic. We also discuss what it means to find or create sacred land, the importance of consent from the spirits who dwell there, and the playful dangers that sometimes give fairies their reputation. This conversation blends deep experience with warmth and humor, offering inspiration for anyone curious about the living magic woven into the world around us.
