I was thinking people probably want to know the ritual I’m using. So even though I’ve posted it else where on this forum I’ll post it again so no one has to go searching my other posts I’ll re-post it.
I usually do this ritual just before dawn (because on a daily basis that’s when the veil between the worlds is thinnest) when I greet the directions I start in the south and go clockwise so I end up facing east. That way I don’t have to read in the dark. Also I greet the elements separately from the directions because different systems assign the the elements and directions differently. I also do this ritual at the new moon and I adjust accordingly.
Oh, I almost always do my rituals outdoors and (weather permitting) barefoot.

Then I usually end my magical work with:
