Crossroads Lost Animal Spell
A Russian method for calling lost animals home involves journeying to a crossroads, where, magically speaking at least, roads merge and separate and you never know who or what might turn up from any direction at any time.
Instructions:
Go to a crossroads. Face west, the direction of the setting sun.
Bow from the waist nine times. Do this three times, for a total of twenty-seven bows, calling the animal as you normally would, and also chant prayers and petitions and recite sacred texts.
Don’t stop calling and/or petitioning until three series of nine bows each are complete, then take ten steps backward without turning around.
Turn around and go home.
