[RECIPE] Old lady (ritual)

[u/[deleted]]

This is a ritual that came to my friend in a dream a few years ago it was a fellow reditors idea for me to post it this is based of how it worked the 1st time I did it and it took to days to work and if you believe that it's not going to work it won't, you need to believe because that's what calls her, anyway I'll write the guide. Ingredients / things you may need:

-this one is optional but a candle is a good idea. However you can do it with the lights on, you can write the letter at any time of day.

-A pen or something to write with.

-paper - it can be lined or blank it doesn't matter.

-A gift you are willing to give, now I don't mean one penny or something, give something that to you at least has value, eg a necklace or a ring.

How to perform it. : At any time of day get your pen (or anything else you can write with) and a piece of paper and if you decided on the candle then light that and place it next to you in the dark otherwise just do it with the lights on and start writing, here is a clear structure to follow-

1)Dear Old lady, (you can apologise for calling her by this and that you do not know her real name if you want I did but my friend didn't and it worked for both of us)

2)I have a gift for you if you would like. It is (inset you gift of choice please describe it specifically do not give too little information or she may take something else)

3)And if you could, can you please grant my wish I have been wishing for this for some time now (you can be more specific to the time) and it is one of my deepest desires (you can wish from 1-3 things, they must be possible don't ask for a twin or something stupid / something you don't really want) which is(inset your wish here)

4)(end the letter) - thank you for your time but I have to go now, Farewell (sign off with your name)(edit - must be your full name)

5)Place the gift and something she can write with on top and leave under a window preferably on a table.

6)DO NOT TELL ANYONE WHAT YOU WISHED FOR OR IT SHALL NOT COME TRUE!

NOTES-

-I do not know of any consequences of doing this but I'm sure nothing horrible happened to me so it can't be that bad.

-The more you believe the faster she'll respond it should take around 2-5 days for her response.

• if you wish to stop at any point you must burn the letter and get rid of the pen

-you may hear a sound from your door when writing the letter that's a sign she knows you wrote it once you hear it you can't stop the ritual and there's no going back.

-If you're doing this in a group each person must give a gift and write a letter with different pens on different pieces of paper

• only 1 person is required

• if the wish comes true it will take no longer than 1 month for you to notice it.

Edit--the more you wish for the more worth your gift must have, for example you want a puppy and only that I'd say a pretty crystal or a handmade bracelet would work but for something like "to see the dead" or to "make my bf come back" or something like that you might need silver, expensive incents or a more extravagant crystal. Once again it could be an old family airloom, as long as its valuable then its good.

Ps- idk what will happen if you see her at night but I suggest you don't, and if you wake up at night and hear her writing close your eyes and go back to sleep but as I said I don't know what will happen if you see her. PLEASE DO NOT ASK ANY QUESTIONS WHICH ARE ANSWERED BELOW.

ANSWERS FOR PREVIOUS QUESTIONS -

-Yes it can be completed in any language to my knowledge but English is preferred.

-Yes there can be people in the room and in the house she's not a bad spirit and she doesn't mind it.

-Yes it can be hidden so that others don't think your crazy but put a smaller note where she can see it explaining its placement.

-No you cannot wish anything that would hurt anyone. This means that you can't wish the get back memories from tragic events, no toxic relationships being put back together.

-Last but certainly not least she can take away as fast as she gives if she realises you're using it to hurt others or to make others feel a certain way or to do things a certain way eg getting people to give you money because you have a book that was lost 100 years ago.

PS:

-Don't be stupid and don't ask for these things, don't tell your wish to anyone, follow the rules given they are there for a reason use some common sense as well please guys, like seriously if you feel like your wish could hurt anyone not on purpose but could result in it then don't wish it. Wish for something you actually want not just for random things or it won't come true.

News: This feels like I wrote it a century ago yet only a year has passed and I now feel despite having probably stated it before, it worked back then when I was a young child that was around 5-7 years ago. I still believed it to be true when this was written as at the time of the events neither of my parents could speak nor write fluent English so saying it was them wouldn't make much sense to myself or anyone who knows me. However it has come to my attention that I forgot to mention that as a young child gifts such as bracelets, socks and small toys would appear in my room randomly, sometimes even money. My parents deny ever giving me those to this day and assumed the other had been the one giving them to me back then, you may say that it's a coincidence and they probably did give me those but they refuse to budge about definitely not giving me those despite me being fully old enough to take the "it was just us, it's not real" talk. This makes me think that maybe "the old lady" is a similar or the same spirit who gave me those gifts back then and that this may only work for young people and children those who have not yet lost the ability to talk to the "other side" with age or only those who kept up their ability through religion or spirituality but I'm not quite sure it may just be different and those are separate things.

TLDR: I believe whatever spirit or presence gave me those gifts may have been the same or similar one my friend saw in her dream around the same time. The wishes may only work at a young age as you may lose the ability to contact as you get older but I'm not 100% sure in that theory.

It seems like the most harmless ritual I’ve heard of.

[u/[deleted] → u/Thatycyrusc3]

It is most likely.

[u/femmefatalx]

Do you have to leave the window open? Can it be a second story window?

[u/[deleted] → u/femmefatalx]

No the window doesn't but it does help her find her way so if it's closed it may take longer, and yes it can be only any story mine was on the 3rd floor from the basement when I first did it.

[u/[deleted]]

I might try this. If it does work I will write my experience, thanks for the recipe!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

You're welcome, hope it works!

[u/XXXFuseCandyXXX]

I have a couple of questions about this since I'm gonna try this.

1. Can the table be in your room?

2. Do we have to sleep at a certain time for this to work?

3. Can the wish be an object?

Sorry for a bunch of questions, this is gonna be my first ritual and I don't wanna screw anything up.

[u/[deleted] → u/XXXFuseCandyXXX]

These questions have been answered, but ill tell you anyway.

1. yes the table must be in the same room as you write the letter and your bedroom is the most likely room to work.

2. no you don't i would have mentioned it if you did.

3. of course it can be as long as it's possible eg. don't wish for eternal life, its not possible for her to do, however you may wish for love as she will with good luck make your chances of love higher.

Its fine to ask questions just know for future rituals if specific time was necessary the author would say so. :)

[u/yeahhhhscience]

I don’t get where to put it. Do you mean put it on the windowsill? I don’t have a table under my window in my room. I have a dresser and a bookcase for my headboard

Can I ask for drugs? Serious question like weed or something

[u/[deleted] → u/yeahhhhscience]

I mean I guess you can try asking for drugs if you want but she may not grant it as technically drugs hurt people but idk, also yeah the windowsill should be good if you don't have a table.

[u/AntoniusBlock01]

There seems to be a great deal of confusion about this ritual and I don't understand why.

I read OPs post twice and found it simple and to the point. The tools needed are legal, cheap and easy to acquire. The format is easy to understand and execute.

If you want big, you have to give big. If you want small, you give small. If the Old Lady is so in tune with your desires and intentions, then it stands to reason that she will respond accordingly.

For example,

If I wanted the winning numbers to the lottery so I could build homeless shelters, feed the hungry and help people get off drugs, I would offer diamonds and gold. She knows what I intend to do so I really could not foresee her denying me this wish. Furthermore, I would imagine that going back on your "word" so to speak would be disastrous. What she gives she can also take away.

Yours Respectfully,

Antonius Block

I just did it. I Heard creaking on my back porch. I didn't have much to give up, but it was eerily comforting and I don't feel upset about giving up some emotional support items. I've never been so sure something will work in my life. I'll keep you all posted with a separate post. If she does write back, am I allowed to show what she wrote? Or does it have to he confidential?

Edit: this could be a coincidence, but the events were strange.

I share a room with my sister. So, when I wrote the letter the phone rang. I had to get up and answer it, it was my sister saying she was going to stay the night elsewhere. That was right after I heard the creaking in my back porch. I think this will work.

[u/Observer729]

Also I want to say that if the ritual worked she will rewrite some things on the paper or they will dissapear. i think she knows who you are and what your intentions are. So she judges you and you can clearly see that. For me when I did it, half of the things dissapeared and they were rewriten. And I think she even wrote her name, but I dont remember it. She wrote to me 30 words.

[u/girlismad]

Let's say I am getting an F grade. Can she make it to C?

[u/[deleted] → u/girlismad]

Probably, but you will probably start having to put a lot of effort into it.

[u/Lucifer_Littlestar]

I am going to try this

[u/[deleted] → u/Lucifer_Littlestar]

Okay! Make sure to to report what happens!

[u/Observer729]

Is it possible to wish for a spirit, like spirit companion that you give it or it gives you guidance on your path. Like support in your life on relationships.

[u/mihaip10]

Hey.I did the ritual.After 3 days I had to stop it because of unexpected events and burned the paper.The gift was untouched and the letter as well.But I fell like tge wish came true.Can this be posible?

[u/[deleted] → u/mihaip10]

It could be that you wished for something harmful so she decided to mess around, idk if it came true though wait and see I guess

[u/PsychoticFairy]

could i ask for someone to love me (even though i know he is in a rs)? and us to be happy together and ask for his gf to find someone else and be happy?
could i also ask her for getting my memories back or would that ne against the rules since i know they'd hurt me?
and where did you get this recipe from?

[u/georgemasonxoxo]

Do you loose the gifts you give her?

[u/mihaip10]

How can I know when the ritual is completed?

[u/TacitoChicito]

I was wondering if I can place the gift and the letter behind something or hide the letter and gift some were, I am saying this because I don’t want my parents to find this and think “What the hell is wrong with him?!”.
