Materials Required:

Soot from chimney
Red wine
Two black candles
Parchment paper
Herbs
Eagle feather fitted with a nib

Method:

Prepare ink out of the soot and red wine. This can be done easily by mixing the two ingredients. To obtain a thicker texture, add more soot to the wine.

Set up an altar in an appropriate spot and place the candles side by side in such a way that face each other horizontally. Take the parchment paper and cut it in a way that it fits in between the two candles. Dip the eagle feather in the ink that you have prepared and write the following incantation on the parchment:

It is my wish that I contact my (how the dead person is related to you, mother/father etc), (name of the dead person). Let it be known to them that I deeply mourn his/her death and I affirm my sorrow by means of this ink on this paper. Let this letter be received as a symbol of my love, as a symbol of my commitment, that I shall never cease mourning him/her until I draw my last breath.

You may also include on the parchment questions that you have, memories or messages that you wish to send to the person that needs to be contacted. Have the paper folded thrice and sealed with herbs. Burn the paper by placing it between the two candles. Once this is done, collect the ashes and place in a glass cup or jar. The person that you wish to contact will come to you either in a dream or as a vision while you are awake. You may ask as many questions as you want during that time.
