Place polished white or near-white pebbles in a silver bowl, or on a silver tray. Place four sticks of incense 'round the stones and light the incense. Also, light a white altar candle, or three branched candlestick. Say to the pebbles:

"Sleep is in you, sleep moves through you,
sleep surrounds you, carry sleep.
Carry calm and ease and peace, carry calm and ease of mind.
Carry quiet to the body, carry quiet to the heart.
Sleep is in you, sleep moves through you.
In you now, I place this sleep.
The sleep of healing dreams and quiet.
The sleep that comforts, eases, calms,
the sleep that is the soul's refreshment;
Bear sleep thus to one who holds you,
bear sleep to the one that keeps you,
under pillow, asking sleep; give sleep in answer.
This I work now through her power,
this command, as I command,
so must it be, and blessed be!"

Place the pebbles in a box of their own, with one or two small feathers, or wrapped in silk. When one is to be used, it should be placed in a little bag of silk with a drawstring, and kept under the pillow of the subject. When wakened, the sleep stone should be taken from the bag, held in the hand, and thanked before replace in it's bag.
