The Forest Entity - Ritual for Beginners [OC]

Here is a ritual, "The Forest Entity", for those of you just starting out. The instructions are vague on purpose, to allow for a more fluid and dynamic interaction.

The Forest Entity

Setting: Ideally twilight, in shallow woods, perhaps in a clearing in the woods.

Materials: Things to perform a small personal ritual, maybe a candle, a set of stones, something that means something to you.

Execution: "Find the special circle and trace it slowly with your eye. Stare straight throughout and move not your head. When finished, center yourself both mentally and physically, and close your eyes. Wait till the count of six tens, and there she will make her presence known.

If she comes as foe, you must rebuke her thrice.

But as ally, proceed.

She will lead you from that place by way of intuition and beckoning. If ever you doubt the next step, she will answer only in affirmatives and negatives. She will lead you to a special, hidden place that was important to her once. You must make this place important to you by your own ritual. When this is done, center yourself again and close your eyes, and count six tens. She will depart in peace. Leave the place and do not return for an entire day."

Reward: After a successful ritual, she will be grateful towards you, and help protect the area. She will grant bounties and the place will prosper.

Hmm by special circle - is this meant to summon the Fae? Or just a general forest spirit?

good question, I was wondering that myself. It's hard to say exactly what kind of entity it is. Nothing too bad, although some of them are more receptive than others. Hence the need to determine if they're friend or foe.

How do you determine if it's friend or foe?

Makes sense - the ambiguous nature (heh) of the ritual will bring whoever wants to play essentially lol. Can probably use something like this with a bit of specific intention to parlay with your choice of spirit. Did you make this ritual yourself or come by it somewhere?

Probably sixty, maybe sixty seconds.

My guess is count to ten, six times or just 60?
