Dreaming of the dead.

With the veil becoming thinner, I have been approached on how it would be best done to begin contacting their Beloved Dead. My favorite, when I was beginning and often times more forgiving method, is to ask them to come to you in your dreams. For this method, I made a small dream sachet with the  name of the dead I wished to speak to and stuck it in my pillow.

Take a cloth or bandana and put Calendula, anise, lavender and St. John's Wort in it, as well as a piece of paper with the name of the one you wish to contact written in your own hand as well as you can. Make it beautiful, something that will attract attention. For a bit more oomf, especially if they are related by blood, add a drop of your own blood to the paper. Tie up the bandana and put it in your pillow case. Be sure that you are comfortable and ready for bed before you crawl in or you may have restless dreams. Upon waking, make sure to record any experiences you had.
