A Russian method for calling lost animals home involves journeying to a crossroads, where, magickally speaking at least, roads merge and separate and you never know who or what might turn up for any direction at any time.
1. Go to a crossroads.
2. Face west, the direction of the setting sun.
3. Bow from the waist nine times
4. Do this three times, for a total of twenty-sevens bows, calling the animal as you normally would and also chant prayers and petitions and recite sacred texts.
5. Don’t stop calling and/or petitioning until three series of nine bows each are complete, then take ten steps backward without turning around.
6. Turn around and go home.
When an animal goes missing one common immediate response is to post signs requesting information and assistance from others. This next Russian spells take that motion a step further: assistance is requested from Earth’s various spirit powers, so that they will locate and send your animal back home. As with standard signs, a reward is posted. Should the spell work, be sure to pay it.
