Light altar candles. Light Incense.
Think hard on the subject about which you wish to learn the truth. Light petitioners candle.. a candle representing yourself. (Can be any color you feel represents yourself.) and say,
This candle I light to represent myself. It burns as does the spirit. It is as myself in all things.
Light 2 white candles and say,
These are the symbols for truth. They are enjoined about (your name) and to me show all truth.
Then say:
As I rock in the night ‘cross the brown heath bare, In the bright moons light saw a castle fair; Lords and ladies, great and small, Where crowding in, ’twas a festival, Grasses in the wind are waving. They bade me welcome and I went To drink their wine to my heart’s content. I danced and laughed with the ladies fair. Ne’er in my life had I such cheer; Grasses in the wind are waving. Then all at once there came a cry: Haro by yaro! Asleep fell I, While a lady dancing at my side Seemed like a lizard away to glide; Grasses in the wind are waving. I woke in the early light of day, In an olden ruin I did lay, O’er the rock and into the sun I saw a green-gold lizard run! Grasses in the wind are waving. Now the truth I know and it stays with me, For I have seen what I did see, All secret knowledge came to mind, Borne on laughter of the other kind; Grasses in the wind are waving.
Sit then in quiet contemplation for half an hour. In this time will the truth of the subject in question come to you. Extinguish candles
Must give credit to Raymond Buckland for that one.
