,

I always want you to access all the luck you can, and I was especially ready to reward you at this time since you’ve shown me so much trust during the eclipse period.

Here are your Luck-Inducing Light Festival Instructions, which you may use to benefit from cosmic fortune just as the Celts did long ago…

1. Purchase or create a paper lantern. (It can be a very simple design, and there are many online tutorials for a DIY paper lantern that you might like to follow.)
2. Wait for nightfall. The closer to the eclipse that you can perform this Light Festival, the better, so don’t waste any time you don’t have to if that clock is already ticking – do it the first night you possibly can!
3. Place a tealight in your paper lantern, light it and take it outside to your garden. (Try to borrow the use of a friend’s garden if you don’t have one, as this ritual is best done privately, without the potential for interruptions.)
4. In your garden, stand and look up at the sky.
5. If you can’t see the stars, visualize them as you’ve seen them before on clearer nights. Do this for as long as it takes to feel calm falling over your body. If you can see the stars, gaze at them for as long as it takes to feel the same thing.
6. When you’re ready, release your lantern into the air.
7. As it floats away and your fingertips lose contact, recite the following mantra to the cosmic world three times over, vocally clear and confident: Blessed be the rhythms of the moon and the sun. Blessed be I to witness each one.

Those are your instructions,        . If you can take this Luck-Inducing Light Festival step by step, I know you’ll get it right. And I know I’ll have given you one more piece of a bright, excitement-filled future.

Let’s talk again soon…

Your loving friend,
