take ashes from a letter, wood or even incense. spread a layer on a flat surface. write your question in the ashes with your finger. leave out overnight. the letters that are left are then used to divine the answer to your question. they may easily form words, complete words may be left, or you may need to use your intuition to figure out what the remaining letters mean. this method, first known to be used in germany, is best done on a night with a slight breeze. enjoy!
