Asking a favor of the dead.
One can ask a favor of a spirit and in return grant the spirit something it wishes. Grab clay, stone or a copper sheet and create a blank spell tablet. Once this is done meditate deeply on it and the intentions your spell has. On a blank sheet of paper begin to draft out your spell (or rather the words you will write in the tablet.) Once you are happy with it cast a small circle, sit within it and softly sing out the words. Do this and visualize the success of your spell. Go to a cemetery or ask a family member for names of the deceased, find one you feel drawn to and return to meditation, this time focus on the spirit. If the spirit is foreign to you (meaning you did not know the person in life nor do you know what they looked like) focus on their name. Go back to your tablet and state the full name of the spirit and propose a reward, either in the form of offerings or something that you feel drawn to do (contact their next of kin, clean their tombstone, remove weeds from the grave, clean the dead if you have access to the corpse or cleansing their grave.) If the cemetery is open at night this next part is to be done then, if not choose the latest time you can enter. Approach the grave and place your tablet and an offering at the tombstone or sarcophagus, place a note nearby to tell others not to remove it if you fear it will get thrown out. Get on your knees and place both hands on the tombstone or sarcophagus and say the words on the tablet loudly and begin a deep breathing cycle, every breath out being energy you give to fuel the spell. When you feel you are done, get up and walk away without looking back, keep your head down and avoid eye contact or speaking if possible. Wait as long as you need to for the effects of the spell to kick in. Alternatively you can come back the next day and retrieve the spell tablet and proceed with the next part. Grab an iron nail if you choose a copper plate or a small spade if you chose clay or stone. Find a tree that will not be felled in your life time and procede to fold the plate into a square and nail it deeply into the tree, driving the nail deep into the center or dig down to the roots and place the tablet down and cover it in soil. This represents an end to the spell, never can you go back on your actions. The deed is done and the spell has run its course. The tree will protect the spell tablet by growing around it.
