Elecampane Divination Tea

• Pillar candle (any color)
• ¼ teaspoon plus additional pinch of elecampane root
  
• Honey
• Tea strainer (optional)
• Tarot deck, oracle cards or runes
• Journal or writing paper (optional)

Instructions:
Prepare the tea, saving a pinch of the elecampane root for an offering to the
faeries.
Steep the tea for 3 to 5 minutes, strain out the root, and sweeten to taste with
the honey.
Light the candle and spend a few moments quieting your mind as you sip
your tea.
When you feel ready to begin your divination, take the pinch of elecampane
root and sprinkle it over the candle so that at least some of it lands on the
flame (but not enough to extinguish the candle).
Say the following (or similar) words:
“I welcome the wisdom of the spirit world, and thank my guides for their
presence at this time.”
Now, begin your divination.
Write down any significant messages for later reference.
The candle may be gently extinguished and used again for divination at a
later time.
