It can be entered by standing on a spiritual portal, and selecting operate while wearing Jennica's ring. After the Summer's End quest, the weak portals will become available to travel through.

Spiritual portals

Completion of Spirit of Summer will give access to the 3 spiritual portals, and completion of Summer's End will give access to an additional 5 weak portals. All are accessed via Jennica's ring.

Duality

Based on the quest, the Spirit Realm is known to be an exact opposite of the real realm in RuneScape (albeit limited to the Wilderness). For example, emptying a barrel of water in the real realm fills up the barrel in the Spirit Realm, and repairing a wardrobe in the real realm destroys the wardrobe in the Spirit Realm. ScapeRune is another opposite to RuneScape; however, it is separate from the Spirit Realm and has various locations of RuneScape beyond the Wilderness. 

Due to this fact, it is possible that when the player killed the Spirit Beast in the Spirit Realm, the player released the opposite into the real world, the Corporeal Beast.

The realm is not technically a part of the Wilderness, so players can teleport out of the Spirit Realm regardless of what the Wilderness level is in the real realm, unless affected by Teleport Block. In addition, when players enter the Spirit Realm, items on the ground in the real RuneScape realm are no longer accessible.

Non-player characters and monsters in the real realm cannot be seen in the Spirit Realm, therefore the portal can be used as an easy escape when hunted by PKers or monsters. However, you cannot enter the Spirit Realm when teleblocked or in combat.

Trivia

Hidden Dragonkin symbols on the walls of the Deep Wilderness Castle Ruins

• Cursed magic logs become normal magic logs when the player leaves the spirit world.
• With the Wilderness update of 1 February 2011, the experience the portals give has been increased. Players who already claimed experience may visit them again for the additional experience.
• When in the Spirit Realm, you can teleport as if you were not in the Wilderness, and the wavy lines signalling the spirit world flash, then disappear.
• Since the Wilderness graphical update of 13 December 2011, going up the stairs in the Dark Warriors' Fortress Spirit Realm causes players to be in level 108/109 Wilderness.
• When entering the castle ruins portal, you used to be able to see the Wilderness level change for a moment. However, with the addition of the Dragonkin Laboratory, the small peninsula on which it resides is a non-pvp area partitioned from the Wilderness, in a similar manner to the Daemonheim Peninsula.
