I have a character concept for a Dwarven Shaman (speaker for the past archetype) based on the art of the Sundering Axe female dwarf from the NPC Codex who will be my first ever dwarves caster. The idea is she will seem slightly unhinged constantly being berated by the spirits of her 2 great great great Grandfathers who absolutely despised each other in life and now war over who can give her the best help, advice and protection. She is the first Child to be born from the meeting of their bloodlines. Both their spirits would thematically be linked to the Battle-axe and Warhammer she carries. I will represent this by using the feat Spiritual Guardian and appropriate spells when ever possible.
There are a lot of great thematic spells already on the Speaker of the Past spell list that help represent the spirits aiding her like unseen servant, spiritual weapon and spiritual ally but after digging up my old Dwarfs of Golarion book if found the spells Ancestral Communion, Ancestral Gift and Summon Ancestral Guardian. They would all be great to get her to cast but Summon Ancestral Guardian is absolutely perfect. Showing the bickering ancestors putting aside their differences to protect her together when in need.
Any one have any idea how to add any of these spells to her spell list. Early level effectiveness does not matter as I will be making her with gm credit.
While I am at it two more linked questions.
Can a speaker for the past take the flexible hex feat or the extra revelation feat ?
Any thoughts on good thematic traits to pic ?

You might have to change the race to Human, Half-elf or Half-Orc since they can add other clerical spells to their list for the favored class. (But will not be able to get it until 7th)
For the feats, Yes for flexible hex since you get the Wandering Hex feature at 6th. Looks like "No" for the Extra revelations since you do not have the class feature for the requirements.
Theme wise, I took Tunnel Fighter and Tomb Raider for my Dwarf Shaman but he is a miner (Speaker for the past/Stone).
