Ritual Practice

On a piece of paper, draw a simple bridge with a dashed or faint line. Light a candle and hold the paper above it (safely) to let the flame's heat make the lines shimmer, symbolizing the bridge's illusory nature. Whisper your intention to cross wisely, then fold the paper and place it under a glass of water overnight to ground the energy.
