Ritual Practice

On a blank sheet of paper, use a pencil to lightly sketch the vague outline of a human form. Sit with it for five minutes in candlelight, then use a pen to write one word inside the outline that represents a quality you wish to bring from shadow into light. Fold the paper and place it under your pillow for three nights.
