Breathe deeply and build a ball of protective light around you. While soaking in your ritual bath, meditate on the whole ritual: the steps you will take and what you wish to say to your spirit guide when you make contact.
Ritual:
Enter the circle in the hour of Mercury. Light the incense. With the oil dress the Altar candle and the Day candle while concentrating on the purpouse of the ritual.
Light your Alter candle and your Day candle and state your intent: "I am here to make contact with my Spirit Guide, and to acknowledge him or her"
With your athame, inscribe Violet Candle #1 with the word "Spirit." Dress it with oil.
Light the Violet candle #1, direct your energies into it, and say "Here do I light the first Lamp of Spirit. May it's light reach out across the barriers from this world to the next. May it make contact with that World of Spirit into which we will eventually enter."
Take your censer or incense wand and swing it around cansing the whole area around the altar, while rhythmatically repeating the word "merge" and building up energy focus.
Replace the cencer and pick up Violet candle #2. Inscribe it with the word "Spirit" and dress it with the oil. Put it back on the altar, light it, direct your energy into it, and say:
"Here do I light the second Lamp of Spirit. May it's light also reach out across the barriers from this world to the next. May it make contact with the World of Spirit and help spred thelight, illuminating the passageway between the worlds."
Again take the censer or increase wand and cense the entire area around the altar while chanting the word "Merge" build up your energy to focus.
Take violet candle #3 inscribe the word "Spirit" dress it with oil, charge with energy, light it and say: "Here do I light the third Lamp of Spirit. May its light also reach out across the barriers from this world to the next. May the light from these three lamps blend and grow, dispelling all darkness and lighting the way that my Spirit Guide may come to me and speak with me here today."
Inscribe the 3 white candles with the word "Truth" and anoint each candle with oil. Light the 3 white candles in order of 1,2,3 and say: "Here do I build Truth. As these candles burn throughout this ritual, their power generates nothing but truth in all that transpires between this world and the next. Through these candles these candles there is truth in all communications that come to me."
Again, sense the entire altar area while chanting the word "Merge."
Replace the cencer and continue chanting. Sit comfortably while chanting and gaze into the crystal ball or glass of water. Continue chanting until you feel it is right to let the chant taper off.
Continue to quietly look into the crystal ball, not trying to picture anything. Keep your mind blank, so whatever comes will come in it's own free will.
Gaze into the centre of the crystal, there is no need to try not to blink. Try not to notice anything in your perpheral vision, just centre of the crystal.
Eventually a face or figure will appear. This may take a long time, or it may appear almost immidietly. If it doesn't appear within about 20 minutes, stop trying for now. blow ot the candles in the order they were lit, leave the altar and try again in 3 days. You should have results within a month.
When a figure does appear, ask if he/she is your Spirit Guide. You will hear an answer. You may not hear it out loud, or even see the figures lips move, but you will be aware of the answer. This is how most of your conversation will procede. You will ask the questions mentally or aloud and you will get answers. |
