Tie a piece of the stone azurite into a blue scarf and wrap
this around your neck. Announce that you seek a contact
in the spirit-world (mileage may vary: depending on the
structure of your magical paradigm, you might seek the
answer from ancestral ghosts, from a deity, from the
collective unconscious, or from some particular plane or
sphere) who will speak with you. Quiet your own thoughts
for a few moments (some have found deep gulping breaths
to aid in this), and await some form of response from the
spirit. You may feel compelled to speak this, or you may
have no choice in the matter. You may ask questions then,
or others may ask them of you. This limited and dangerous
practice is sometimes also referred to as channelling.
