greet the environment and introduce yourself. Offer a gift and ask to enter this sacred space while also stating your reason for being there, then give your thanks. For instance, “Beautiful Mother Earth, I offer you a gift of tobacco in a humble way and request to enter your sacred space and ask your help with discovering clarity and direction with a few issues I’m facing in my life. Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ; thank you.” Keep it clear and simple, leave your offering, and begin your walk.
