Before you leave the power spot:
Thank the spirits,
Channel love energy,
Trigger your memory of the experience, and If it feels right, leave an offering of tobacco, or beer and
honey poured on the ground (or other suitable material).
Leave in peace and love.
Proceed to other sites that were indicated by the spirits, doing similar meditations at each site. If you
need something, like a staff, a Maypole, or a wand, you can also ask where you can find it and follow the
guidance you receive (not slavishly, but as you would guidance from another Pagan).
Before leaving the general area in which you found power spots and contacted nature spirits:
Channel love energy towards the receptive sites you found,
Thank the spirits of the land,
Pull back your roots and branches,
Ground any excess energy into the Earth (placing your hands on the Earth, breathe in any excess energy,
and channel the energy down your arms, while visualizing and feeling the energy going into the Earth),
and Leave in peace and love.
Naturally, you should leave the area at least as clean, and preferably cleaner, than you found it. If you
work with techniques of Wicca or Ceremonial Magic, you may find that by casting a circle, calling the
Elements, the Goddess, the Gods, and the local nature spirits while you are at receptive sites, you may be
able to greatly increase communication. Through the use of drums and other power raising techniques, it
is even possible to energize receptive nature spirits. The results can be very interesting. If with a coven,
such circles can be done as part of a group attunement to a power spot you have located. If you do not get
good feelings in response to your explanation of the ritual and are unable to come up with a ritual that
gives good responses, do not try to force a good response. You would only be fooling yourself.
Thank the spirits for their attention.
Ask them why they are not receptive (if it feels right and they are communicative).
Trigger your memory.
Pull back your "roots and branches," return any excess energy you feel into the Earth. If it feels
appropriate, leave an offering of tobacco or other appropriate material, out of respect for the spirits.
Move to a more receptive site.
If it is hard to find a site that is really receptive, you should: Consider any impressions you got of why
the nature spirits weren't receptive in the area you were in, and re-think your plans for a ritual, as
necessary and appropriate.
It may also be appropriate to look for another general area in which to find a suitable power site that is
receptive to the work planned.
What To Do When Returning
It can be very powerful to purify and center yourself and to attune to the spirits of the land using the
techniques previously described for calling nature spirits immediately upon returning to the site.
Often, individuals may have found small specific power spots to which they have a special attunement,
where the spirits are interested in participating; but where the site is too small, has too much vegetation,
or is otherwise unsuitable for the main ritual. Individual attunement to the spirits in such areas and
inviting them to participate in the main ritual can be worthwhile.
Then approach the main ritual site using the previously arranged technique. You should have the details
worked out with the spirits of the land. An exceptionally powerful technique involves doing a procession
through or past receptive power spots, inviting nature spirits to join as you pass each power spot, and
then moving to the central power spot for the main ritual. If participants are at individual power spots,
they can join the procession as it passes nearby.
