Getting Answers from the Four Directions

It is often said that two heads are better than one. Well, how

about four heads? When you really need some new and different

perspectives on a situation or event that has been bothering you,

one of the best guidance you can get is from the four directions.

Tribal and religious customs have long acknowledged the power of

the four directions as source of advice and guidance. They have

made use of four directions ceremonies and prayer.

A simple way to receive guidance from the four directions is to

ask one direction per day for help. This is a simplified four

directions ceremony. You'll need a Sun Yellow candle (any candle

that is bright yellow), pen and paper, and some white broadleaf

sage (you can use either the leaf clusters or a smudge stick).

While white broadleaf sage is primarily an air element botanical,

it has enough of the other three elements (fire, water and earth)

to be used in all four directions. White broadleaf sage is highly

prized for its strong aromatic properties (strongest of the

different types of sage) and is considered the king of all sages.

It is excellent for meditation, divination, smudging, cleansing

and purification.

Ready? Here's how to ask for answers from the four directions.

DAY 1

- Sit facing East, direction of the element Air (thoughts,

communication, ideas, inspiration, enlightenment).

- Write the situation on paper as clearly and succinctly as

possible. Then write the outcome you want, also as clearly and

succinctly as possible.

- Light the Sun Yellow candle with a paper or wooden match (no

lighters!).

- Hold your hands up to and around the candle flame and say in a

strong voice:

Child of wonder,

Child of flame,

Nourish my Spirit,

And protect my aim!

- Hold the situation and the desired outcome in your attention

for a few minutes (with eyes open or closed).

- Light the white sage from the Sun Candle - the sage will carry

you question or prayer to the direction.

- Ask aloud to the direction: "What ideas, inspiration or

communication is needed to resolve this situation and create the

desired outcome?"

- Then write whatever answers come to you. Do not question or

think about the answers - just write! Write until there are no
