On this day in 1857, The Spirits Book by Allan Kardec was published, and today’s working is inspired by the teachings of spiritism. You’ll need something that can serve as a pendulum, which can simply be a length of string with an object tied to one end.

Begin by casting a circle of protection by tracing an energetic circular path with your finger, making three passes around the space. Recite:

This circle protects me from harm on
all levels, allowing in only the energies
most harmonious for this working
and blocking out all other energies.

Enter a light meditative state and ask to communicate with a spirit that comes in perfect love and perfect trust. Holding the pendulum, ask what a “yes” looks like. Allow the pendulum to move as it will, then ask what a “no” looks like. Then ask any questions you have, and close with thanks to the spirit.
