Tools: Athame to inscribe Candles
Clear Glass of Water
Incense: Anise, Cardamom, and Coriander.
Oil: Jasmine, Lemon, Rose and Sandalwood
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 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 purpose of the ritual.
Light your Altar Candle and 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.
Say: "Here do I light the first Lamp of Spirit. May its 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, censing the whole area around the altar while rhythmically 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 oil. Put it back on the altar, light it.
Say: "Here do I light the second Lamp of Spirit. May its 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 while chanting the word "Merge." Build up your energy to focus. Take Violet Candle #3, inscribe it with the word "Spirit", dress it with oil, charge with your energy, light it..
Say: "Here do I light the third Lamp of Spirit. 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 Three White Candles with the word "Truth" and anoint each candle with oil. Light the three candles in the order of 1, 2, 3.
Say: "Here do I build Truth. As these candles burn throughout this ritual, their power generating 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 altar area while chanting "Merge." Replace the censer and continue chanting. Sit comfortably while chanting, and gaze into 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 glass of water, not trying to picture anything. Keep your mind blank, so whatever comes will appear and will come in it's own free will.
Gaze into the center of the glass of water, there is no need to try not to blink. Look into the glass of water and blink naturally. Try not to notice anything in your peripheral vision, just the center of the glass. 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 figures lips move, but you will be aware of the answer. This is how most conversations will proceed. You will ask your questions mentally (or out loud) and the answer 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 better 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 any 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
