"The Leftward path of the serpent I take, deeper down with each step I make. I trod the paths between and within, walking the way with Elphame's Kin."
Find a tree with a natural hole in it, a cave, a large standing stone, or some other site of power. Leave offerings of bread and drink there every night for several nights, petitioning the Lord and Lady and the spirits of the land to allow you to use the place as an entrance to the otherworld. When the night has come to do the ritual, cleanse yourself with cool water, then go to the site with a stang or staff, a candle, and offerings. Share the offering, once again asking permission to use the site, and asking your Fetch or other personal guardian spirit to watch over and protect you on your journey. Place the stang and candle about 8-10 feet back from the site. Light the candle and consecrate it in the name of the bright and cunning Master. Begin walking widdershins around the stang, repeating the chant above over and over again until you feel a shift coming on. Lay down and allow your consciousness to flow forth from your body and into the spot you chose as your entrance. From there, allow your consciousness to sink "lower and lower." Do not force or rush it, just let come what may. Once done, allow your consciousness to rise back up, settling once again in your body. Walk deosil once around the stang, extinguish the candle, and thank the spirits.
