potential challenges of spirit marriage Exploring the phenomenon of
the spirit spouse or spirit lover--an entity to which a human is
psychically bonded--Megan Rose, Ph.D., examines the practice and
purpose of spirit marriage around the world, presenting
transcultural evidence of this form of sacred union in
anthropological research, religious literature, mythology,
folklore, and the oral tradition. She shares her in-depth
interviews with ten contemporary practitioners of spirit marriage,
including a Faery Seer, a Shakta Tantric, a West African Shrine
Keeper, a New Orleans Voodoo Mambo, Haitian Vodou practitioners,
and a ceremonial magician. Through these respectful interviews, the
spirit-marriage practitioners tell their stories of initiation and
of having a spouse who is both otherworldly and able to assist in
waking- world activities. They offer intimate insight into this
growing global practice and its larger evolutionary purpose. We
learn about their experiences of first contact, the decision to
marry, how the relationship is upheld by their community, and the
impact on their other relationships. We also learn about the risks
and challenges as well as one example of divorcing a spirit.
Sharing her personal experience, the author discusses in detail her
own spirit marriage, including the erotic nature of being "spirit
filled" and her encounters with her Faery beloved. She explains how
to cultivate a spirit marriage, sharing precautions and practices
to spiritually prepare yourself, interpret your paranormal
encounters, and navigate the potential challenges of spirit
marriage. Presenting the first study of the transcultural,
shamanistic practice of spirit marriage, this book shows how bonded
relationships with spirits are needed now more than ever to assist
with spiritual evolution.
