Smoky Divination Spell

• Mugwort incense
• Black candle
  
• Journal or writing paper

Instructions:
Set the incense and burner next to the candle.
Light the incense, and take a few moments to center your intentions for the
divination—a single topic or issue for which you would like to reveal
information.
Breathe deeply and inhale the scent of the mugwort.
Hold the candle in both hands and send your intentions for the divination
directly into the wax.
When you feel ready, light the candle and say the following (or similar)
words:
“Smoke of mugwort, swirling free
show me what I need to see.”
Close your eyes and clear your mind once again.
Now open them and gaze softly at the smoke from the incense as it rises
above your altar.
Don’t try to make any specific images appear—let them come as they will.
Allow the movements of the candle flame and any visible smoke from the
candle to join the “conversation.” You may need to allow for several minutes
before you images or other information begins to emerge.
Write down any insights, images, or other notions to reflect upon over the
coming days.
