Getting started with spirits and animism

Hi everyone

I am just getting started in spirit work and animism. I have always had very atheistic view of witchcraft, mostly leaning on ideas of things (symbols, plants, colours, stones, etc) having innate virtues and properties, which could be utilised in witchcraft or magic. Now I am getting started in trying to commune with spirits and trying to get my own little spirit "court" going. I have decided for my first spirit ally to be a mugwort root.

If anyone has any experience working with a plant root as a focal point for a plant spirit, effigy, fetish, etc. I would love some tips, pointers, ideas, etc.

thank you all so much!
can't wait to see what you write.
