out in front of you, and repeat: “I seek the source …” Face west, slowly intoning the same conjuration, followed by the north. Stand still, close your eyes, and raise the candle out and above your head, and repeat the conjuration (“I seek the source, I breathe in the source …”) one last time. Lift your thoughts as you say this, and join the sea of peace flowing throughout the universe. You should feel refreshed and experience a glorious connection with the source of all things.
    At this moment, clearly state your signature herb aloud and say why you have chosen this plant.
    Note: You need not begin with the east if this feels uncomfortable to you. Perhaps you’ve had previous training that places north as the source of all things. Or you could incorporate a bit of Spiritism, beginning with the west, moving across to the east, then down to the south, and up to the north. I would recommend against moving backwards, though, as this is a universal symbol of undoing, unless you really desire that type of energy in your life (which I wouldn’t recommend for HedgeWitch work).

    Quietly meditate for a few minutes on the meaning of wind in the life of a spiritual person and the necessity of connecting with the source at all times, even when we are tense, angry, sick, or unhappy (when this connection is most needed, but we often let our emotions overshadow this wonderful connection). You can close your eyes during this meditation, or you can simply sit outside and enjoy nature and take a walk in a field, by the beach, or in the woods. If you are having trouble with a jumble of thoughts, simply repeat any of the conjurations given so far or use the affirmation of this day. When you are finished, draw your personal sigil of the wind on the paper. Repeat the word wind as you lay your hand over the finished drawing. Smile. Say: “Thank you! It always works. This rite is finished. Always a blessing!” Remember to smile!
    Allow the candle to burn completely, if you can. In your journal, dedicate at least one page to first night wind. Record any experiences that occurred today which you feel are relevant. Write about the rite and your feelings. Leave space to record your dreams from this night and a large-enough area to add more notes about the wind, your connection to Source/Spirit, or your new purpose in general that might unfold tomorrow. Redraw or place your wind sigil in your journal, and be sure to record your signature herb. Carry your magick key with you. Dispose of water, cold candle end, used incense, and wet herbal bag in a way that is comfortable to you.
    Before you drift off to sleep, close this evening by saying:
    Peace with the gods
    Peace with nature
    Peace within.
    It always works.
    Always a blessing.
    Remember to smile!

Second Night
    Your affirmation for today: I carry the fire of profound creativity within me. I have access to the creative power of Spirit whenever I need it!
    Your symbol for today: fire
    Begin your day: If at all possible, begin this day by watching the sun rise. Using primordial language, as explained in Section 1, make a wish. Keep this wish to yourself; tell no one. Read the affirmation for the day. Today’s segment concentrates on fire, associating this energy with that of creativity. Close your eyes, quiet your mind, smile, and allow Spirit to fully enter your body. Then repeat the word fire softly, conjuring your vision of sacred fire in your mind. Open your eyes, and repeat the affirmation at least three times. Remember to smile as you finish! Throughout the day, repeat the affirmation as many times as you like. Begin and end with a smile. Write down in a small notebook (or your HedgeWitch journal) anything unusual about this day and events, people, or places that carry a strong fire association for you. In this way, you will be prepared to perform the second night Rite of Fire.
    To do today: Choose one small, creative project that you have always
