Timing:
Best
done during the Mercury hour of the day, although any hour should work. Any moon phase is
appropriate.
Preparation:
Breathe
deeply and build a ball of protective light around you. While soaking in your ritual bath,
meditate on the whole ritua; the steps you will take and what you wish to say to your
spirit guide when you make contact.
Ritual:
Enter
the cirlce in the Hour of Mercury. Light the incense. With the oil, dress the Altar Candle
and the Day Candle while concentrating on the purpose of the ritual. Light your Altar
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 its light reach outacross 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 in around censing the whole area around the altar,
while rhythimically repeating the word "Merge" and building up energy to focus.
Replace the censer 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 that World of Spirit and help spread
the light, illuminating the passageway between our worlds."
Again,
take the censer or incense 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
with the word "Spirit", dress with oil, charge with your 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 there is truth in all communications that come to me".
Again,
cense the entire altar area while chanting the word "Merge". Replace the censer
and continue chanting. Sit comfortably while chanting, and gaze into the crystal ball, or
the clear 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 or glass, not trying to picture
anything. Keep your mind blank, so whatever comes will appear will come in it's own free
will. Gaze into the center of the crystal, there is no need to try not to blink. Look into
the crystal and blink naturally. Try not to notice anything in your peripheral vision,
just the center of the crystal.
Eventually
a face or figure will appear. This may take a long time, or it may appear almost
immediately. If it doesn't come at all within approximately 20 minutes, abandon this
attempt, extinguish the candles in the order in which they were lit, leave the altar set
up, and try this ritual again in three days. You should have results within a month at
most.
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 figure's lips move, but you will be aware of the
answer. This is how most of your conversation will proceed. You will ask your questions
mentally (or out loud) and the answers will be clear inside your mind. Ask if you have
more than one spirit guide. If yes, ask them to appear also. You may ask anything you wish
to know, but it is suggested to establish a connection first where your Spirit Guide may
appear to you at any time, or at specific times, so that you can converse with other
spirits through him/her.
When
you have finished speaking with your Guide, thank him/her, then sit for a moment with your
eyes closed, meditating on all that you have learned. Extinguish the candles in reverse
order to clear the circle.
