Symbols of the 4 elements, 1 rock, 1 feather, 1 candle and 1 cup of water, 1 photo of the person/pet you have lost

·Place the rock to the north

·Feather to the east

·Light the candle, place it to the south

·Cup of water to the west

Begin my facing north, holding the photo and turn clockwise as you say.....

"(name), I send you now oh, back to the north, from which we sprang."

"(name), I send you now, back to the east, to the air that gave you breath."

"(name), I send you now, back to the south, to the fire that drove your passion."

"(name), I send you now, back to the west, to the water from which cleanses your spirit."

Hold the photo to the setting sun and say, " I send you on your way. You are gone, but not forgotten. You will always live within my heart, and someday, we will meet again."
