Outside of the witchy world, it is not well known that Saturday is the optimal day for contacting those who have passed from this realm to the next. When Samhain, to mark the end of the harvest season, falls on a Saturday, it gives a big boost to our ability to make contact through the veil between the worlds. After nightfall, you can speak to lost loved ones or others with whom you desire contact.
Gather together
* an amethyst of the deepest, darkest purple, obsidian, and/or rainbow moonstone (see spell)
* your Book of Shadows and a pen
* strong-smelling incense, such as frankincense, nag champa, or sandalwood
* a fireproof clay or glass dish
* sage for smudging
You can either use one of each of the three crystals, or three of the same kind of crystal. Sit in a comfortable position on the floor or on a pillow with your Book of Shadows and pen nearby. I learned from High Priestess Z. Budapest that “the dead love incense, the stronger the better and it will call them to you.” Light the incense in the fireproof dish and pass the crystals through the smoke. Then touch your third eye with one of the crystals for a moment and picture the person you want to contact. Place that crystal by the dish of sweet-smelling smoky incense. Take the other two crystals in your hand and speak this spell aloud:
Great Goddess, I call ___ [speak the name of the spirit] forth now.
From this side, to you, will I bow.
Words of wisdom, we need here and now.
Peace and love is here, I vow.
With harm to none, Blessed be thou.
Now pass your Book of Shadows through the incense smoke and start writing down the messages. Whatever comes into your mind is what you are meant to know. After a few moments, thank the spirit and say goodbye, directing it back to its side of the veil. Extinguish the incense and light the sage and give a very good smudging to the area. Place your Book of Shadows on your altar and consider the message this generous spirit has given you.
