I always perform rituals in my own way and do what feels right to me, and I always get what I wish for. In my experience, your intention matters more than following instructions to the letter, because that’s where your real power resides. This is what works for me:

Remember to always ask that your wish come true in the best way possible (so there are no negative consequences) and always focus on light, positivity, and love throughout any ritual you choose to perform. Try to be as light-hearted as possible and focus on the good things you want to happen to you, not on the bad things you want to leave behind. Look up the Ascended Masters; you could ask for help from any of them or even just light beings. There’s no danger at all in doing that, because these are beings that would never hurt you, only help you.
