14. How to Call In Spirit Guides: Invocations, Signs, and Simple Communication Techniques

In this episode of The Spiritual Sanctuary: Wisdom for the Divine Feminine, we explore how to call in your spirit guides and begin communicating with them in clear, grounded, and meaningful ways. You’ll receive two powerful Spirit Guide Invocations that you can use during meditation, ritual, or any moment when you want to open the doorway to spiritual connection.

From there, we discuss simple, accessible methods for communicating with your guides—whether through intuition, signs, journaling, meditation, or energetic awareness. This episode is designed to help you understand how guides reach out, how you can recognize their presence, and how to strengthen your relationship with them over time.

Throughout the conversation, we explore deeper questions such as how spirit guides respond when you call on them, what signs or sensations reveal their presence, how to build trust in intuitive communication, and what practices help you receive guidance more clearly and consistently. You will also learn how invocations, intention setting, and daily awareness can transform your connection to your spiritual team.

Bertena Varney

Bertena is a spiritual teacher, priestess, and intuitive guide who blends ancient wisdom with grounded, modern insight. She is the creator and host of The Spiritual Sanctuary, a podcast devoted to the Wheel of the Year, Divine Feminine wisdom, goddess traditions, ritual, meditation, and soul-aligned living.

With decades of experience as a college educator and a deep background in spiritual studies, Bertena brings a rare combination of academic depth and embodied spiritual practice to her work. Her teachings weave together seasonal spirituality, priestess paths, somatic awareness, tarot and oracle wisdom, and contemplative ritual—always with an emphasis on empowerment, discernment, and personal sovereignty.

Bertena is the founder of the Ancient Arts of the Priestess Academy, where she offers self-paced courses, seasonal lessons, and immersive spiritual education rooted in the cycles of nature rather than hustle culture. Her work is especially supportive for women seeking a slower, more meaningful spiritual path—one grounded in trust, rest, and inner authority.

Through her podcast, courses, and writings, Bertena invites listeners into a sanctuary space where wisdom is remembered, not rushed, and where spiritual growth unfolds in its own time.
