A white candle, A clear wine glass,
Water, Coconut oil, Corojo butter.
Go into a very quiet room. Place the wine glass
on the floor and fill it with water, a couple of drops of coconut oil,
and a tiny bit of corojo butter. Place the candle next to the
glass and light it. Shut out all other sources of light. Sit on the
floor two or three feet away from the glass and invoke your Orisha,
if you have one. Look at the glass. Breathe evenly. Its all
right to fall asleep, since the answer may come in a dream. The face
of the person wishing you evil will appear in the glass. The process
takes patience and perseverance, since you might see unrelated
scenes in the glass for quite a while.
