Reception Spell

In a darkened room, sit at a table. Make sure you are comfortable—the room should not be too cold or too warm. Light the candle and place it approximately an arm's length away. Place the bowl of water on the table in front of you. Speak the following words aloud:

"Stone of strength from Mother Earth,
Let her power stand,
Pass to me the sight I seek,
That I might understand.
Like the water, flowing free,
Moving to and fro,
Let my mind traverse the path,
So that I too may know."

Clasp the stone firmly in your right hand, close your eyes and allow your mind to wander freely. Relax, clear your thoughts and allow no worries to enter your mind. Imagine that you are floating freely and concentrate only on your mind. Ignore your surroundings and bodily senses. Once you have cleared your mind, slowly begin to focus on the stone in your hand. Allow your thoughts to begin channeling through the stone. Imagine your thoughts spreading through the universe. Imagine your mind traveling through the stone to the open spaces of the universe and searching—searching for communications—allowing contact and being warmly receptive. When you feel relaxed and receptive and you are comfortable with where your mind is, open your eyes and gently drop the stone into the bowl of water.
Dip the index finger of your right hand into the water and with your moistened finger, trace a circle, three times, one over the other, on your forehead. Lean over the bowl of water and allow your mind to remain connected, through the stone, with the universe. Allow the messages to be received.
When you have finished, extinguish the candle.
