The Practice Guide.

Anointing a candle. Apply a small amount of the corresponding oil to your candle before lighting. Work from the center outward if drawing something to you, or from the center inward if pushing something away. Use the oil that matches your candle's intention for maximum effect.

Wearing on the body. Many of Rondo's oils can be worn directly on the skin: pulse points on the wrists, behind the ears, at the base of the throat. Anoint yourself before an important meeting, a date, or any situation where you want to be at your most powerful.

Dressing objects. Apply oil to a wallet to draw money, a door frame for protection, a photograph to influence a person, or any object connected to your intention.

Prepare the burner. Open a brass charcoal burner and place a charcoal disc inside. Keep it on a heat-safe surface before lighting.

Light the charcoal. Hold a flame to the charcoal until it sparks and begins to glow. Let it burn until it turns grey-white, which means it is ready for incense.

Power the smoke. Place a spoonful of Frankincense and Myrrh resin on the lit charcoal to strengthen the working. The resin carries the intention upward and opens the atmosphere.

Add the incense. Spoon two spoonfuls of incense powder over the charcoal and resin. Use the powder that matches your intention.

Seal the prayer. Close the lid, speak your prayer or the 23rd Psalm, and let the fragrance move. Do not leave the burner unattended; keep it clear of drafts, children, and pets.

Spiritual bathing. Draw a bath and add the floor wash or dissolve the soap in warm water. Before entering, state your intention. Soak for at least ten minutes. After bathing, allow yourself to air dry rather than toweling off if possible. This keeps the working on your body. Perform a spiritual bath before beginning any major ritual work, after a significant conflict, or whenever you feel spiritually heavy.

Floor washing. Dilute the floor wash in a bucket of water. Wash your floors from the back of the home toward the front door to remove negativity, or from the front door toward the back to draw something in. Focus on thresholds. Doorways and entry points are the most important areas.

Frequency. For active workings, bathe spiritually three, seven, or nine days in a row. These numbers are traditional in hoodoo and conjure practice and are considered the most effective intervals for sustained ritual work.
