To Gain Prophecies

Fill a cauldron half-full of water and place it on a table where you can see
comfortably into it while seated.  Light two purple candles and a good
divinatory incense; a combination of mugwort and wormwood works well for
divination.  Arrange the candles so their light does not shine into the
water
or your eyes.  Focus your attention on the bottom of the cauldron, your
hands
placed lightly on either side.  Breathe gentle onto the water.

Say:

Cauldron, reveal to me that which I seek.
Great Mother, open my inner eye that I may truly see.

Empty your mind as much as possible; remain relaxed while looking deep into
the cauldron waters.  The answers may come in images in the water, pictures
in your mind, and/or strong bursts of "knowing."
