Summoning Method #1

Tools Needed: Black candle, white candle, two candle holders, lighter, incense suitable for intuition work, incense holder, holy water. Where: Anywhere it is possible to sit with very dim to no light, and with a flat surface for placing the incense and candle holders.

How: Light the candles and incense, and sprinkle the circular area around you with holy water. Create a circle by walking clockwise if you wish to do so, then call the guardians in for aid. These can be the elementals, spirit guides, or even angels. It's up to you. Using the name of the main spirit you wish to summon, speak to him/her. "(insert name), (insert name), I ask for your presence in this place, at this time. Your (guidance, help, vision, knowledge, etc: give a solid answer on this so the spirit knows what to expect) is requested in this place, at this time. Share with me what I need to (know, view, understand), clear and sure, correct and pure." The last statement in this summoning is for limiting the possibility of the spirit sharing wrong information or lying. Focus on the candles or incense, but allow a dream-like state if it comes over you. Be aware of images, sounds, smells, or feelings that arise during this time. You will want to record this in your BOS or journal, if you are using this summoning as part of a larger process. When the sensory elements fade, sprinkle the area with water again. Thank the spirit, and the guardians for their presence, releasing them. If you chose to create sacred space, deconstruct your circle now. Perform a grounding ritual after performing this spell, whether you chose to create sacred space or not. Over the next few days, remain aware of signs that are likely to surface as a result of this spell.
