You can find guidance to deal with difficult situations by
accessing the wisdom of our ancestors. To do so, write out your perception of the situation on a piece of paper. Light white, black, and red candles, and cut an apple crosswise to reveal the five-pointed star created by the seeds. State these or similar words:

I send my voice across the veil
To my ancestors who know me well.
Guidance needed,
Wisdom bequest;
Answers given to aid my quest.
Quiet your mind, and receive guidance. It may arrive immediately or over several days. Thank your ancestors, and offer the apple to them.
