Well, most crossroads tend to be man-made, even if it’s just two roads in the woods that have been paved, somebody had to cut those trees down. That said, any crossroads works, and in fact, most “natural” ones will work better than the asphalt one. Consult with your spirits, to see if the crossroad matters, as X crossroads and Y crossroads have different, though similar meanings for example.

Also, consult Papa Legba. He is the guardian of the crossroads both physical and astral/spiritual. Leave an offering of cigars and whiskey.

Crossroads in the case of magick tend to be like spots where currents of energy meet and split back up. Ussally leylines from what i understand of it. As such when you bury or do a ritual on the crossroads,rivers and such you are sending the energy gathered and formed by the ritual into the spirtual winds as ot were to be carried through the currents to shift people or events towards the purpose of the ritual.
After that you have places of power where many many lay lines meet. You’ll usually find a place of power there islf human inhabit the area a religious or political site ect.

All crossroads will work. Hekate/Hecate can assist you with information on crossroads. It is one of her specialities. I also see someone mentioned Papa Legba. He will work as well.

Good points all. My two cents is that the real point of the crossroads is the point in the middle that is “no place” - the intersection where all directions are equally in play. That’s where spirits associated with possibility and potential hang out.

Any crossroad works ,but it is most effective when it is in a much abandoned place .it can be a two intersecting trails ,roads ,footpath etc .
Whatever you choose the “black man” will meet you there .

I’ve learned there are some types of “crossroads”: the + crossroad (for road opening, balance), the T crossroads (male spirits), the Y crossroads (female spirits), and * those in which many paths intersect (chaos).

I have a similar problem. But there are just stupid intersections where people are constantly going and there is no privacy. I wonder if I could create my own intersection, I would dig the ground and spill it with sand. If it worked it would be ideal. What do you think?

Try finding one in a wood.

I’m not sure, maybe give it a try and report back? Personally I would try to go out as far from the city as you can to get away from people… there are still many intersections and naturally formed crossroads out in the desert and forest that are perfect for this sort of thing.

Yea.I was today in the morning to look at one crossroads and it is perfect in terms of loneliness. It’s in nature and it’s abandoned just do not know if it is good type of intersection. This crossroads on the right side is in the shape of Y and to the left it intersects into a shape + because the bottom is actually a brook as a crossroad. So I’m gonna try this junction.

I work in a typical urban downtown area. Skyscrapers and all that. Interestingly though, around the edges, there are a lot of places where development just stops and there are a surprising number of abandoned crossroads. Often in between parking lots that are run by investors waiting for their next shot to build a skyscraper on them. I would not go out and stand in such a crossroads for any period of time, and I would be very careful to only choose one for any work that is on a safe side of town. But since they are generally used for parking anyway, nobody minds or even notices if a car parks there for a little while -

The same here. Even to dispose an offering or remnants of works is an issue. In some places it is considered a crime and people can be fined for that. And it doesn’t please me to let offerings to be crushed by cars. It seems disrespectful.
I’ve read some people do “crossroads” with poppy seeds (or another one) in their own yards to place offerings. As I live in a downtown apartment I don’t have much options.
In fact “real” crossroads have power because the amount of people that crossed it along the time. The thing is, as people cross them, the dead also. Fake crossroads don’t have power. It is not all about intention.

Ok this is my final crossroads do you think it’s OK? It is not land and dust but asphalt but I hope it will work …And it is abandoned, which is the main thing.

"So I left a offering at the crossroads for Papa Legba but it was meant for Eshu because I only heard of Eshu being able to bring offerings to other Orishas. Now I spilled the coffee 
by accident because I was in a hurry. The popcorn and there things were excepted what about the offering getting to him. See I’m in an area that is predominantly white. Every now and then I’ll see someone of another ethnicity. I was told that the offering was excepted and brought to the other Orishas but what if I say the and coconut 
is that a problem? Was it not accepted?
