First and foremost, keep in mind that, as with any séance, speaking to a spirit will ALWAYS end with the spirit being destroyed or subjected to a century of torment. People often forget that when they attempt to communicate with loved ones, they are pulling them through the ethereal shroud. Passing back is a difficult and painful process. That said, here is the easiest method I know of:
Materials Required:
- 1 Cup Rum (preferably dark)
- 2 Candles
- Megaphone
- Air Horn
- Salsa Music
- Rice Candy (from Asian grocery store)
Begin by turning out the lights. Play the salsa music (loud enough that you will need the megaphone to be heard) and light one of the candles. You must light the candle in the dark, and it is better to use matches. Drink the rum, but only swallow half, and then spit the remainder over the lit candle to extinguish it. A lot of smoke is auspicious. If the candle goes out without generating smoke then you may wish to consider lighting some incense or burning some Canadian currency (any money will do in a pinch, but I've found that the spirits respond best to Canadian money). Blow the air horn to get the attention of any ambient spirit presence. DO NOT sound more than two toots, as this may enrage those spirits predisposed to hostility. Using the megaphone, set to its loudest setting, ask, "Are there any spirits here?" Wait for an answer, and if none is forthcoming, set out the candy. Repeat, "Are there any spirits here?" adding, "I have candy." As soon as you get a response, light the second candle. This will trap the spirit's essence, allowing you to banish it to oblivion when you extinguish it (thereby saving it any pain).
